I'd like to make a log splitter myself, they are too expensive to buy.
So what I need is a frame with a steel plate at one end which the log
rests on, and an V shaped steel plate at the other end driven by an
hydraulic ram, 4 ton or more ought to do it.
But I know little to nothing about hydraulics. I need some help...
What do you suggest I get the ram off? (in a scrap yard) and how would
I then set it up to be mechanically pumped by the operator.
Instructions and ideas please.
Why a log splitter? Why not put whole logs in, and infill (or underfill
or behindfill I spose) with scrap wood?
