Nope, I made a hydraulic splitter.

That looks great with straight grained wood. I'm not so sure it would be as easy with the knotty stuff I usually have to split.

Having one of them does actually make a whole lot of sense!

I use a tyre - put several logs inside then chop 'em up.

That wood looks incredibly easy to split.

same as mudshark.

but as mentioned above, its easier to do with straight-grained poplar.

But it's also handy for keeping gnarly twisted crap in one place while you beat the crap out of it too.

Prepares for a tsunami of what tyres for log splitting threads.

One of those times when 650B would be a disadvantage. You don't want the splitting coming alive.

A tyre is a bloody good idea... I think I'll be retrieving one from the hedge later today.

I tried the tyre method for the first time yesterday afternoon. It works really well.
