Wood splitter

[stainless stål]

Hi
I just read about ironbark on wikipedia, and it's obviously tough stuff

Here are some pictures and measurements of various parts of the splitter, but it can be made with other measurements as well. If anyone wants more information, just ask and I will answer as best as I can (with good help of google translate ).
This is set up for wood lengths of 30 cm which is a common standard here.

ups!
sorry

I posted close-ups and measurements in response to previous posts. It should have been posted here, but now it is there for people who would like to make somthing similar.

I don't mean to be disrespectful, or detracting from your machine, but whether I like it or not, the best firewood here IS ironbark, probably because it is so dense.
Wikipedia does not really tell the whole story, a look at the site below might throw more info into the mix. Once thoroughly dry, it's nearly impossible to drive a nail into it without first drilling a hole

That's a great log splitter. I'm liking that a lot.

That is a cool splitter. Very well executed. Maybe you could "automate" it, so you put in a log, and start the cycle. Then you can walk away to fetch the next log while it is processing the first log .

How do you guys burn coniferous woods, like spruce and pine, in your stoves? Don't you get a lot creosote build up in your chimney? I guess you use what you have access to.
