= Log Splitter =
-- [[GaryHammond]] --

My son had bought a house in 2002.  It came with a wood-burning fireplace and wood shed stocked with wood.  But he needed some log-splitting equipment to help with preparing more firewood, so I built this as a Christmas gift in 2008.  It uses a couple of hydraulic cylinders I had on hand left over from years in the lawn and garden business.  The hydraulic system is powered by a hydraulic pump on our Bolens HT-23 tractor.

These last two pictures were just for fun horsing around...the VW custom-modified engine doesn't really connect to the log-splitter.
