I'm going to do some mods to the woodsplitter... looking for advice and ideas. I split by hand until a few yrs ago, figure you guys have suggestions for things I don't know yet.
No brainer; the exhaust blows right at the operator, need to build a shield so I'm not breathing fumes so much.
The valve is on the middle, got to lean over the machine to work it. Really hard on one side of your back after an hour or two.
I told the wife I was going to buy some hoses and move the valve, she said to add a longer handle. I might try that first, think it will work?
The ram is a couple inches short stroked. I end up prying a lot of splits apart. Think I'll weld on some longer extensions on the edges so that it can push the wood through. Pointers?
Anything else I should consider while the torch and welder is out? What about a 4 way blade?
