Default Re: My woodsplitter project

After I spun it over I welded the bottom of the plate to make sure it was good and snug.

Then I grabbed two of those 3 x 11's again.

These got propped in the crook of the beam and against the engine mount plate to add support while I'm going down the road with the splitter.

Heres a better view so you can see how it goes flush with the outside of the beam and engine mount. Then I welded it. This close to the ground it really started my plywood dropcloth to smelling....like fire...

I put another 3x11 chunk on the other side and held it with my magnet while I welded it on.

Then I flipped the whole thing on its side (bent the fender again, doh!) and leaned it on a bucket so I could weld the other side of the supports. I dont weld very well upside down.

That was it for the engine mount and supports. I moved to the cylinder.

I laid the cylinder backstop (I forget what its called. Anchor maybe?) on the rail and the cylinder with it. I needed to get a good measurement. This blue cylinder is only 24 inches long but my wood can be up to 36 inches long so I'll upgrade the cylinder eventually. I have a small house and a BIG fireplace. It makes the heating bill alot less expensive.

Some people are like slinkys. Not worth much but funny as heck when pushed down stairs.
