HomeMade Kinetic Log splitter (better than hydraulic?)

Man I’m a retired welder fabricator of over forty years, and I’m putting you up there with me brother. lol. Really nice work. That thing doesn’t play , I would like to see it split some hard oak or maple, just to see what it does. But I have to say, you did a fine job building it. ✌️👍. Oh one more thing, I would love to see it with the shrouds off to see just a bit more. I am impressed for sure. I’ve been doing fab work most of my life. It’s good to see someone else that does the same thing. The few jobs I’ve had working for someone else, when you’re good at this type of thing they always leave you to do your thing. It’s like being your own boss even though you work for someone. I know I drove a lot of people crazy because I don’t ever get yelled at and people do get jealous of the respect I always got. I always enjoyed working because it is something different all the time. Good luck to you brother. ✌️

Fantastic work, dude! Really well done!!! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊 And happy holidays!

I love all your videos i learn more every time I watch. Thank you

Love it! I want one... so fast and quiet.

You designed a very clever device to split firewood. It is the all-around best design I've seen. I have looked at a lot of them in the last 65 years. I think it will stand up on its back wheels and rest on the motor adjusting bolt to store in less space. To do that, it needs something sturdier than a piece of all-thread. The execution is first-rate as well.

The quick snap action is something you just cant get from hydraulics unless you spent real big, and being mechanical as long as its oiled and greased it last long enough to be mighty useful 😊

Συγχαρητήριά για την υπέροχη κατασκευή σου! Από Ελλάδα/Αθήνα.

Спасибо за ролик, давно искал.

Brilliant. Great job.

Good job. Excellent speed. Thought some of the structure was a trifle light but for a single household will probably give a good long service. Love to try it out on some of the knarly oldman pine I deal too, that sometimes stonkers my 35ton hydraulic splitter. But yours is much faster and quieter. Well don that man!

Ide e shkëlqyer , punë e mirë . Një këshill me dashmirësi : Duhet një reduksion për të ulur shpejtësin pasi rrezikon !

Hi Darek, very nice job as usual, and very helpfull ! Do you provide plans for this one ? Thanks a lot for this content !

I think you are a great fabricator great to see someone like doing it

Gratulálok nagyon szuper dolgot csináltál Ügyes vagy

Fajny projekt. Oby więcej takich materiałów. Gratki.

It's hard to tell which is better: you're video production skills or your engineering/fabrication skills.

Świetna robota ❤

Excelente trabajo. 👍👌

great idea...if the main shaft was always connected going forward you could have achieved the clutch by a pully to the belt from motor... on the main shaft it would have needed to be spring loaded and your mechanism would have also have needed to be fitted...only difference would be there would not be a clunk of gears when engaging.

Привет! Ну ты парень просто гений, самоделки супер класс, все как заводское, молодец!
