10 MOST Dangerous Homemade Wood Splitters Videos

[John Lyngdal]

Some of these look to be commercial units, some are quite inventive, and a few others scary.




Enjoy!

Wonder how many fingers and hands are missing from making of those videos?

I like the manually operated ones that are held up by the spring. Those look pretty sweet and relatively safe.

I don't get the ones that just slice up branches into too small hunks to really be worth burning anyway....seems like a massive waste of time/energy but they must have a use for those tiny hunks of wood....special kind of stove?

So basically they burn anything in Europe lol.

Pezzalotto makes some crazy machines. They have fully automatic units as well. Seen a video that must have had hundreds of logs on a live deck.

No Sticklers, or the giant flywheel rotating the wedge on the rim?

Yeah.......where’s the one with the guy with long hair wearing crocs and the explosive wheel of death. Some of the ones here aren’t that unsafe. The key with any splitter is to watch where you put your hands

Meh… I have run worse. Good to see old school innovation is still around.

That's the truth.......Haha

Really small stuff is called 'choggings'. (chip/logging). It's a way of getting rid of brush as something usable. I imagine it burns very hot and fast though.

 

[CentaurG2]

I would think a lot of that small stuff would be used to make hardwood “lump” charcoal.

@cus_deluxe has a rube goldberg'd up SOB that could be on here. Buzz saw, splitter, and elevator all in one.

OMG..... That is beyond dangerously stupid. It doesn't even work as well as some other dangerous splitters.
