Yeah the kinetic splitters are awesome for sure, I've toyed with the idea of building one of them too :lol:. I would rather have a power hammer tho for metalworking, and then adapt that to splitting. Here's a woodcracker one, this is what I'm talking about, i figured the large screw types would...

I had to look it up, I've heard it before but needed a reminder

I gotta do it first, it's just really creepy drawings at this point, and we've all seen how embarrassing those are! :lol: I was forced to sit for a long time due to my health where i researched and planned stuff (i had been planning and researching for years before too, all in the same vein)...

@flushcut has an atom splitter (giant screw splitter on a machine), which could possibly work pretty good for you, he would be the guy to ask on that. You could leave them long and break them down into much smaller diameter, and then they could even be fed in a processor if that's a direction...

Da bears

Good to see you Ed!

I'm not thinking of building one at the moment, I'm pretty swamped as it is. I honestly had no clue how much something like that goes for. It's also one thing to build one for yourself and a whole nother thing to start selling them for profit, and honestly i really don't have a need for one. I...

What's a unit like that sell for?

Legal weed....... lol it's a place to live and work, not much tourism.

Be handy on stumps, that's for sure!

Not to mention the dove hunting!!!

No but I've also thought about it too

Yeah, standing dead ash is more than dry enough to just use, further It'll still be aged all spring summer and fall, but this way i know i have good seasoned wood. It seems to me that the ash tree dies from dehydration, and the slow death of it seems to really dry it out even more as all water...

I do have some standing dead ash I'm planning on grabbing. My partner at work has a bunch of dead ones down his hill, which would be a wonderful place to try out my trailer as a yarder. That way i got another pro rigger to help me run it the first time, and we'll both be helping each other out...

I finished the hardwoods in my burn piles and was starting to cut up a blue spruce i did last year when my neighbor said i could cut whatever on his. He has several downed locusts that have been there for years, so I'm gonna make it this winter :lol: 73 out today, definitely not normal

Mix it with some quicker burning stuff, it'll help get stuff going. Locust is kinda like coal, it takes a bit to get going and needs air, but can put out full heat for a long time.

Get another machine :lol:

It's ugly, but it works great. Just cut and split up some more locust, around 14 inch or so by 6 feet. Just lift and gently guide it and the stuff explodes. 2 of these sleds is a days burning, didn't take 10 min with a battery saw and the maul. Took me longer to shovel it all out :lol:

@stikine As promised, my improved maul :lol:

The one i have is a 12 pounder, and was recently made, so it's likely around 15 pounds with the longer handle. It's crude but is what i have, so it'll do. If i was so inclined one of my best friends lives next door and has an awesome splitter with a 4 way wedge, i just haven't had the need yet...
