It is alive!





It's nice to have the splitter waist high like that. Has to save a lot of wear and tear on the back.

Nice job Greg.

That should keep BF quiet!  

Edit: Tom posted whilst I was typing mine! I was agreeing with Willie's post (not that I don't agree with Tom).

Looking good Greg! Is there some way of advancing the uncut portion of the log a bit so the tilt to the splitter doesn't have the junk to be split hanging up?

Great job Greg,  Ive had great fun watching you do this build and BF wanting it finished.
All we need now are the pictures of the 21 trees.

Now we're talkin! Great job. Just a couple of tweaks and it will be in full swing.

Now the I told you so. I wrote earlier in this thread as to why you use the gear reduction on your log transport chain!!!!!! I told you so.

Thanks guys!
That would probably work Steve, once I get it moving a little faster.
Still need reduction BF or I'd be launching the logs off the end, hey that might be interesting. There's a chain drive after the reducer, I can play with that and get the speed I need.

Lookin good Greg. After you get the last tweeks you need to fully automate it. That way you can sit there, drink a beer and watch it work!

Why? Just teach the camera operator to use it and he achieves the same outcome.

And so the Sahara Forest became the Sahara Desert!

And Sahara MEANS desert, so the Sahara Desert is the Desert Desert.

You can imagine early explorers asking 'what is this place' and being told it was Sahara - which it is :)


( Sahara from Arabic ṣaḥrā‘ 'desert'. )
