Here is an action shot. These are Beech and just over 3 ft in diameter.
What happens when that round gets split? I'd love to see that on video.

They are the ones Northern sells. I did tweak them a little and sharpen but they are great for the price. I'll tell you this as well, In everything I split i did NOT have a single chunk slip out. That even surprised me, they work really well.

I've looked at pictures of your powerwagon and now you splitter and I must say you do some very nice work. I would love to see them both in person someday (gtg). What is your profession? I too would like to see a build thread on it.
Small chunk splits off onto table, move table out of the way. Sometimes what left will roll a little on tongs(still held by them because it's stationary, not like the flat ram pushing through a wedge would be. Split another 1/3 off onto oppisite side table and do the same as above. Split another manageable chunk off and swing the chunk on the tong out of the way and start splitting the stuff to final size. Nothing hits the ground till it's complete. It has worked really well in 20 plus cords now and won't go back. I don't have video stuff. I'm lucky to have a picture camera!

Very Impressive Fabrication skills and love the way its set up. I've rebuilt an old log splitter with a boom on it and love it, does everything I need it too, not as pretty as yours but someday I may build a new one from the ground up like you. Very nice!
