I was looking for a splitter I couldn't find one that was easy on my back and comfortable to use so this is what I wound up building.

I have used it for 6 years now and have not found a log that it would not split or cut through using my 2 stage wedge design. Here is a video of it in action...

Com: Thmson : why does everybody want there stuff to look like john deere made it?, Should have put his name on it!!..

I've watched a around a dozen or so of your videos and you are one awesome fabricator. I've just got one suggestion.

You should break yourself from the habit of putting your had on top of the block of wood. All it would take is one distraction and you would lose a talented hand. Keep up the excellent fabrication videos
