- In this video I will show you how to build Log Splitter out of scrap metal.
This Log Splitter was made entirely out of reclaimed metal. It uses a 20 ton Hydraulic Heavy Duty Bottle Jack.
It is a very strong structure which can easily split large sized wood logs, it is very easy to make and the cost of making it is really low.
Hope you enjoy the video and always remember....Rust is Gold!

I am a fabricator and you did a very good job of that splitter.
Thank you very much! Glad you liked it! 😊👍
Αψογη δουλειά και άψογη εκτέλεση. Το αποτέλεσμα είναι καταπληκτικό. Από εκεί και πέρα μπορείς να σκεφτείς για βελτιώσεις (ηλεκτρική πρέσσα κλπ) αλλά η δεξιοτεχνία σου είναι εντυπωσιακή. Μπράβο!
WOW! I have no mechanical skills whatsoever, but I did watch the entire video and am so impressed!!!!! I'm looking up DIY log splitters for my dad and I'm just so amazed by this product you made. You are clearly very good at your craft. Thank you.
very smart and lots of good work. I like your replies regarding people criticizing your art , you're very polite and respectful I admire your manners and your work. like you said it's very easy sitting doing nothing but it takes a real man with a brain to invent even a little thing to improve lifestyle. keep the good work sir. thumb up.
Thank you very much for such positive comments!!! Regarding my reply comments I honestly try hard to be polite with some people... It is really sad how many people love to write hate comments... I don't mind when people criticize my work, I know I am not perfect or a professional but when they personally insult me I get upset!
When I watch RUclips videos, If I don't like a video I just turn it off and don't bother writing hate comments.
Thanks again for your comments, I appreciate! Greetings from Greece!
How do you know the people that are criticizing are sitting doing nothing? Because they didn't record it? 🤷
Did you ever think those are people that are also Craftsman and just feel differently about the design or the practicality?
Here you go. From a full-time fabricator and woodworker.
Way too much effort to split a log. I have plenty of those jacks and they have a very short throw and lowering it is such a hassle.
I don't like the design.
Sue me.
I don't care about criticism. I have no problem. I dislike RUclips haters who love to insult.
You didn't like the design? Good for you. This is not a competition. I didn't force you to watch my videos.
Muy muy buena....!!! Gracias por compartir. Saludos desde las sierras de Córdoba Argentina..!! 👍💪🇦🇷
¡Muchas gracias por tus comentarios! Saludos desde Grecia 🇬🇷😊👍👍 !!!
Thank you só much for tour project and this tutorial!👆 👏👏👏👍
Michel Ferreira das Neves thank you very much for your comments!!!
Amazing how many critics there are in comments... Funny to think about it but the Eiffel tower and the statue of liberty are still standing, those were made with far less advanced tools and I'm sure with less prepwork done! Lol
Thank you very much for your comments! 😊👍👍
Right?
Such a nice build.
I love that the demo log was gnarly chunk of hardwood.
I have too many positive things to say, and I need sleep.
Doggo is happy too.
Thanks for posting.
нужно сделать так, чтобы кто-то захотел купить. а это что- перевод материалов и времени ради идеи. желаю удачи.
Спасибо большое!
Thank you for the video of your fine craftsmanship
Thank you very much for your comments!!!
Oh my God! Thank you. I've been searching RUclips for this for a long time. Then, RUclips-God used his almighty power of 'recommended videos' and now I found this.
I wanted to make a log-splitter that use a manual hydraulic jack. Every video I watch shows a hydraulic press with motors and I can't afford that. Now by watching this I can make one, I've already bought the Jack so I'm gonna make one for my own just like this.
Glad you could find the proper video! Good luck with your project!
Very nice work
Thank you very much!!!
When you put your electric motor on it, I would also put wheels on it and make it so you can use either vertically or horizontally. Beautiful craftsmanship!
Thank you very much for your comments! That's a very good idea, the only problem is that the whole structure is quite heavy...
A great bit of equipment & well made, the only thing I would have done is mounted it higher on the wall so as I wouldn't have to squat while I was using it. Thank you for posting.
Malc Tulloch thank you very much for your comments!!!
You're absolutely right, I need to place it higher on the wall.
Thanks again!
Wow great video. Thanks!
Thank you very much!
Made one like this years ago. It ended up being more work using it than just splitting by hand.
Absolutely is. By 5x at LEAST
very good job sir at least you be splitting wood in a power failure and nothing wrong with the welding either
Thank you very much! 😊👍
Ingénieux travail ! BRAVO !
Merci beaucoup!! Je suis content que cela t'aie plu!! 😊👍
Wow that came out amazing
Thank you very much!!!

Very nice process of building this machine, but in my opinion it is helpful only if you have just a few big pieces, cause splitting takes way too much time compared with other models for example with electric motors
It is true that it needs improvement. Although the body is very solid, it is quite slow... I am planning to replace the manual pump with an electric hydraulic pump.
Nicely done project and video.
Thank you very much!
Bravo! As a welder I have comments but I think you did great, I’m planning to make a similar thing but with a pneumatic jack, thank you for the video!
I am not a professional welder.... I used the grinding wheel and they look just fine... Just trying to show to other people how they can transform pieces of garbage into nice looking and functional objects...
However, using a manual jack was a mistake.I need to spend some time and replace the manual jack with a motorized mechanism... I always get involved in new projects and forget the log splitter! Thank you very much for your comments!

Great video
MR. NVC DIY thank you very much!!!
Таким дроваколом лучше камни колоть.
Сжатие позволит
Nice build, love your helper!
Thank you very much!
Great, practice and functional !!!! .... 1000 thanks
Thank you very much!
Σε ευχαριστώ πολύ για τα σχόλια σου, χαίρομαι που σου άρεσε η κατασκευή μου! 😊👍
Hi, again!! And again thanks for this video! i liked ( also again ) your idea, and craftsmanship. But the 4 leged fellow's still the best of this all!!
Thank you very much!
I think everyone who posts an invention on RUclips should all get a thumbs up 👍🏻 as we can all learn something from each video and make improvements, I think it’s bad that people give thumbs down 👎🏼 when people show the things they make even if they are not good as they are only trying to help .
Try black sabbath for music.😁
I totally agree with you. I never give thumbs down...
Regarding the music it's difficult to find nice songs when you have to use copyright free music...
Exactly... there is so much more to You Tube than fail videos, Making fun of the Opposing Political party and Videos of people chugging full bottles of whiskey!
use air powered jack. save lots of effort
and time. good vid.
Yes you are absolutely right. I am planning on transforming the manual jack to an air powered one...
extremely neat and tidy workmanship, i should really like to see your mark2 model.
Thank you very much for your commenrs!!!
Tremendo trabajo, te felicito saludos de chile
¡¡Muchas gracias por tus comentarios!! ¡Saludos desde Grecia! 🇬🇷😊👍
Пока наколешь дров этим устройством - сам согреешься, а дом - замёрзнет!
I just randomly found your video. I'm not a fan of the music (I prefer the original workshop sound, even sped up), but it was an awesome project. Subscribed.
Thank you very much!!
I put music on my videos because I think they will be very boring just to hear the natural monotonous sound of cutting and welding steel. Don't you think so?
Personally I really prefer without any music. All top notch youtubers I follow use the natural sounds of the shop (Mathias Wandel, DiResta, John Heisz, Hand Tool Rescue...), so yes, it's all cutting, welding, drilling sounds, with or without audio comments, and it's really fine for me. That said, it's your channel so you do as you prefer, and it's solid content anyway. Thanks for your videos.
Thank you very much!
Great informative video, very entertaining! Good music too. You made welding look easy
Thank you very much for your comments!!!
Πολύ ωραίο!!!
Σε ευχαριστώ πολύ!!!
:D This is way more time consuming than just using an axe.
I want to change the manual jack and replace it with an electric hydraulic pump since it is a little slow to operate it manually...
Good idea.
Y cuando uno no encuentra que hacer con su tiempo sale esto
que bonito tu perro,se ve muy leal. MUY BUEN PROYECTO.
¡¡¡Muchas gracias por tus comentarios!!! Tienes razón, mi perro es muy leal, lo amo. Lo encontramos en la calle hace 5 años, frío y hambriento ... ¡Ahora es parte de la familia!
I like this. Make what you need with the stuff you have. Very solid! And it is fun to weld. 😁👍
Thank you very much!!!
Listen my friend, you are talented, creative, golden hands, it's a pleasure to see it. I'm building something like this, to be finished I'll upload to RUclips. Thank you. I'm from Israel (:
Shalom! Thank you very much for your comments. When you finish send me the link. Good luck with your project!
I have really good friends from Israel (Tel-Aviv)! Greetings from Greece!! 🇬🇷😊👍
לא לשכוח להעלות! הבטחת!
Считаю что был применен очень толстый металл и мощный домкрат, можно было все упростить и удешевить
Πολυ καλη δουλεια!!!Μπραβο σου
Σας ευχαριστώ πολύ!! 😊👍
Awesome work and love the video edit.
Dear Adrian Gatter, thank you for your comments!!!
All that ingenuity, yet no automation for the hydraulics. You’ll end up with a Popeye arm.
I agree, I have to change the manual jack with a new hydraulic pump. Although it is working it is very slow.
You cut and weld great...nice work!
But a hand pump log splitter is kind of slow and kind of useless.
Thank you very much for your comments. I need to replace the manual jack with an electric hydraulic pump...
Bravo, bel lavoro
Complimenti
Grazie mille!!!
Complimenti
Veramente geniale
Grazie!!!!
I like the idea of diy a lot but... I’d use an air jack and save my spine. That’s an easy upgrade, so it’s not too late, hint hint 😉 Thanks for taking us along though, you built that thing bombproof, it’ll outlast all of us!(and our spines🤪)
Thank you very much for your comments!! I totally agree with you I need to replace the manual jack with an air jack. Initially I tried to keep the cost low however the manual jack is too slow... It's true the metal structure is bombproof!! Take care!! 😄👍👍👍
О уеный молодец 10 метров дров за год. 😁
Я думал этого ни кто не напишет! Респект!!!
Excellent!!
Gracias amigo!!!
Однозначно лайк.
большое спасибо вам
I love to make shit, so I see it from that point of view, also If I made one like this I "wood" use it in far away cabinets, remote place, etc. But for where I live not practical at all when I burn up to 6 to 7 cords of wood during the winter. Nice job..
Thank you very much for your comments!
If he only splits as to what he needs per 2 days vs a months worth of wood with this thing it be worth it. But don't expect to split 5 core's of wood in a day because your wrist would sieze up and fall off. Unless some other method of pumping the Jack is figured. Great craftsmanship though..
Thank you very much for your comments. I agree with you... I need to replace the manual jack with an electric hydraulic pump...
Great Job!
Martin Elam thank you very much!!!
MUY BUENO .PRECISO ESTA MÁQUINA.Y ESTA ME ENSENTIVO ..GRACIAS AMIGO .SAN RAFAEL MENDOZA ARGENTINA 🇦🇷
¡Muchas gracias por tus comentarios! ¡¡Me alegro de que te haya gustado!! ¡¡Saludos desde Grecia!! 🇬🇷😊👍
Great build out but it seems like those pieces of wood could be chopped with an ax just as easily.
Thank you very much for your comments. I need to replace the manual jack with an electric hydraulic pump... It will be much faster.
Split with maul or ax is ok when the wood is dried/cured all the way through, but if it's green/wet hard woods like oak it's mighty tough to split. I have a bunch of oak that's been cut and sitting for 4mos now and I still can't split it with a maul. 😅
I need to spend some time and replace the manual jack with an electric hydraulic pump...
Что проще топором махать или домкрат качать?
The video is great and the music rocks...
Thank you very much! I am glad you liked it!!
Good Job Sir, I will coppying your strategy. nice job.
Thank you very much for your comments!! I'm glad you liked it!! Good luck with your project!!
All that work (nicely done) to build something that requires a lot of work...Harbor Freight 30 ton air hydraulic jack for a little over $100 would fix that, just saying!
I am in the process of looking for an electric hydraulic pump. It definitely needs an upgrade. Do you know what kind of pump would be more suitable?
@@RustisGold
I would think this "air over hydraulic" would be most practical but you would still have to buy a ram on top of that and extend your bed
www.harborfreight.com/10000-psi-air-hydraulic-pump-98318.html
This air jack would be more practical in my opinion with the set-up you already have with very little mods and more economical too www.harborfreight.com/20-ton-air-over-hydraulic-jack-95553.html
The electric hydraulic pumps are kinda expensive and you must have 220v to operate them. I'm no expert on the subject though.
Thank you very much for your input!!!!!
an air actuated jack would make a lot more sense, easier & faster.. The design is good, thanks for sharing.
You are absolutely right! 😊👍 I need to find some time to upgrade it! 😊👍
This method is helpful.
Thank you!
Good work , final product also good. Enjoyed the music. Nice to see the dog knows when to stay away when welding. Keep up the good work!!
Thank you very much for your comments! I am glad you liked it!
Yes I have trained my dog. When I use the welding machine or the cutting/grinding disc he walks away!
Some people have criticized me that the dog is in danger but he never stays near the area when I weld! 😊👍
should be great with electric ! thanks
Hopefully I'll have it ready before next winter 😊
Not a very long stroke on that bottle jack
I need to replace the manual jack with an electric hydraulic one. It is kind of slow...
congratulazioni!!!!!
Grazie mille!! 😊👍
ingegnoso, bravo, piccolo ma funzionante
Grazie mille. Sto pensando di sostituire il meccanismo manuale con uno elettrico ...
Great idea, but the hydraulic is too slow. Too much pumping motion. Not practical. Need a better jack.
Thank you very much for your comments. I agree, I need to replace the manual jack with an electric hydraulic pump....
Just an observation, if you mounted it the other way up you wouldn't have to crouch to pump the jack and you wouldn't have to lift the logs so far.
You are right... Also I need to replace the manual jack with an electric hydraulic one. It is kind of slow...
Good workout ,man !!
Thank you!
Ahhhhh just the build i was looking for . Thank you
You're welcome 😊👍
J ai un crik 2 tonnes, vous pensez que ça peut aussi marcher ?
Celui que j'ai utilisé faisait 20 tonnes...
A design and a job well done but the system is very slow I built a wood stove and consumed in the winter about 12000 kilograms of firewood and prepared it with an acha in two weeks if I used your machine it would take too long. Regards Angel
Thank you very much for your comments! I agree with you.... It is well built but slow... Actually I am in the process of looking to buy and replace the manual jack with an electric hydraulic pump..
@@RustisGold The robust one and how well the tool is made well deserve that you incorporate a cylinder or a hydraulic pump with this you would have a perfect tool. The electric pump and a cylinder of that route is not very expensive and there are also thousands of these second-hand parts. greetings ANGEL
@@angargoy7181 Thank you very much for one more time! I will definitely keep you updated!
excellent! job.
Thank you very much!!! The only improvement is that I need to replace the manual jack with an electric hydraulic pump...
Занимательно, молодец
Спасибо большое!!!
It will last 1000 years..
I'll be very happy even if it lasts 500 years!!
Rust is Gold
Если для бани и делать нехрен,то пойдёт. А я всё ждал,когда же механику вместо рук ставить будет, но увы. Разочаровал.
Я планирую поставить механический домкрат. Может быть, следующий проект после того, как я закончу тот, который я делаю сейчас ...
Good job 👍
Thank you!
That's vary good thanks for your
За сварочную работу респект,ну а за дрочилово,. -5 звёздочек.В общем дрочилово всё - Это.не в обиду сказано!😂😂😁😁😁
Домкрат не выдерживает многократное использование и очень долго.Лучше приспособить гидравлику.
Большое спасибо за ваши комментарии. Совершенно верно ... Насчет гидравлики согласен. Мне нужно найти время и заменить его ... 😊👍
السلام عليكم ورحمه الله وبركاته فكرة رائعة تحياتي لك من الجزائر
شكرا جزيلا لك على تعليقات الكريمة. أنا سعيد لأنك أحببت إبداعي! تحيات من اليونان!
Awesome video👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you!!! 👍👍
Красиво сделал, но производительность низкая.
спасибо, мне нужно поменять ручной домкрат ....
Хуетень это
@@RustisGold попробуй подкатной домкрат! :)
I admire that craftsmanship and all, but an axe and a chopping block would be much faster, easier and way more fun. For all this effort you could have hooked up some hydraulics. Or or, buy these already ready to go at home depot for 170 bucks. Nice work though
Thank you very much for your comments. It's true, I have to change the manual jack with a hydraulic pump...
@@RustisGold Yep - with a hydraulic pump this thing is perfect! Love the super solid build too, looks flippen rad!
@@RustisGold Or rig up a foot pedal?
@@ratheanach5545 unfortunately it is slow...
@@brizzyroz super solid build? Where did you see that?

Вещь красивая, но на мой взгляд, мало эффективная, это только моё мнение.
Большое спасибо за ваши комментарии! Мне нужно модернизировать его и заставить его работать с электродвигателем. Вручную медленно.
Quel que soit le résultat, il a au moins le mérite d'avoir essayer, en déplaise à certains...
La critique est aisée mais l'art est difficile !
Merci beaucoup pour vos commentaires! 😊👍

Too much work to pump it so many times for 1 log
I need to spend some time and replace the manual jack with a motorized mechanism... I always get involved in new projects and forget the log splitter!
You must have some patience to use something like that lol nice job
Thanks! It is true I have to replace the manual jack with an electric hydraulic one... Oh well, nobody is perfect!!
أحسنت عمل جيد جدا
شكرا جزيلا !!!
Пока делал зима кончились.
Мне нужно потратить какое-то время и заменить ручной домкрат на моторизованный ... Я всегда ввязываюсь в новые проекты и забываю о дровоколе ...
