Slow and easy.

That's a great system, but I think OSHA would not like it at all.

Does OSHA approve any splitters???

Sure is an interesting concept

I've seen ones that rotate a lot faster and are scary. Something this slow is more reasonable. And I bet the split to split cycle time is not as slow as it seems.

The only thing wrong with this picture is that it should be powered with an old hit or miss engine.

Nice and quiet as well as relaxing as far a splitting goes. Nice work.

That's the lazy man way!

it seems powerful enough,
i would play with the final drum size, maybe a larger drum
would increase the speed a little, and the splitting edge would
be engaged in the wood for a longer time.
then maybe a 3rd blade?
but it gets the job done...

Since it doesn't run, I don't think OSHA will have any objections But if it DID run, only a fool would use it.

I think it's so ineffective it's silly. Notice the type of wood he's splitting. But he probably enjoyed the mechanics of creating it.
