Kindle cutting machine

Hi All
Recently I finished building a kindle cutting machine.
The main frame is made of Bosch extrusion salvaged from two frames rescued from a skip and ♻️.

The motor is single phase 1HP eBay purchase which came with the motor frame and taper lock pulley. The large pulley taper lock pulley, vee-belt and crank bearings are also eBay purchases. There is a foot operated switch from Amazon and the rest of the machine is made from materials lying around the workshop.

The retractable castors are also homemade which I have posted on HMT

This has made chopping kindling so quick and easy, after 20 minutes a bin full ready to use.
Thank you for viewing

It was difficult to film and feed the wood through the machine.
