Really like the hand crank for the four way. Beautiful build! Now all you need to add is a log lift for the big heavy rounds.

A video explaining the build and material sourcing would get a good amount of views

Good job on the build! Like some of the previous comments, I like the hand crank for the 4 way, simple and effective

Very impressive build. Someone did their research and made it happen.

Congratulations on what appears to be a fine job of craftsmanship .
Something I have wondered after seeing a few hundred horizontal splitter videos is.
Why don't people make them 33 inches long and out two logs up there ?
If you got 400 rounds to split anyway
Half as many cycles ,same amount of effort.
I am not a mechanic ,
