Firewood splitter (youtube)

[dave1949]

Notice that he doesn't split any larger logs, just stuff 6" and less. I wouldn't even split most of that stuff--once you have a fire going they can go in whole.

There is one very short maybe 10" log that he presents to the splitter in a vertical position.

I don't think it would work very well on larger logs, or on ones with even slightly twisted grain.

Too dangerous for my money...

Yep, he is making small wood, maybe they use it in a cookstove or something with a small firebox. It's dangerous for sure, probably give an OSHA inspector an instant heart attack or whiplash trying to get his forms out

The flywheel design has some merit...
There are MUCH better executions however...

That one is neat but much to fast for me....

I don't want to be like lefty.
