Nice looking splitter and super "clean" work.
However, how thick is that foot? I had one on my splitter that was 1 inch thick and we broke the thing right off about 1 inch above the weld. (Now we laminated about 20 - 1/2x2x20 inch flat stock together to make a foot that is 2 inches thick. The only thing bad about the foot on my splitter is it weighs about 50#!!
)
I think the reason the "foot" on the vertical splitters bend/break is because sometimes the big round only presses against the very end of the foot. When this happens there is a tremendous amount of pressure at the end. Be forewarned.
