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 :D).
This is set up for wood lengths of 30 cm which is a common standard here.

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.
