The design of the splitter and wedge seem very efficient - I like how the wedge tucks down and becomes a single wedge - I like the idea of a sorting table - seems like you can make a lot of firewood in a small amount of time - enjoy the journey - cheers
I can see why the work table was a must. Noticed they offer one. If I were to pull the trigger on a production splitter, this would be the one. The control of the single to 4 way is nice. If it weren’t for Ash I wouldn’t be able to sell firewood...
Good morning Brad, You really need a work table on the end of that splitter to save time and your hands arm and wrist action. 🤔 That's some great footage of that splitter in action 👍👍 keep up the good work.
You can throw down a small stack of skids to get you temp outfeed table. Not sure where you live? I'm in south eastern Ohio, I could brake a few bends in a sheet and have a table made pretty quick for that. I've got a 35 ton brake and shear 4' capacity and a 65 ton Edwards iron worker. That splitter is pretty awesome btw.
Morning brad i wont be around for a while because mum was rushed into hospital not looking good at moment lets hope the man up stairs will take good care of her be safe untill next time.
Brad that splitter is doing great for you. You better hurry up and get that table made. Your wife may start to get made at you showing off all that leg on youtube like that lol. Take Care !!!
A great video again. I too am nursing an illness and its not fun to know that you could be getting something done but your body says no. That wedge system is cool. It tucks away up underneath as the ram is fully inside the housing!!!
Hi Brad: Another nice video. You hit a home run with that splitter. I’m retired now but if I was still cutting and splitting firewood. I would definitely have a high tech splitter. Keep up the good job. See you Friday night and next Wednesday.
Man the front view with your fingers starting on the face of the round. Don’t end up like Dan and his in the blink of an eye thumb in the wrong place at the wrong time. Great splitter for the money.
Sir, I too wish we where closer together. I come build you a table like you want. Like the way you put the video in overdrive to speed things up. If you could find a old roller conveyor that you can roll boxes across and put legs on it would be good for you as well. May could find a auction somewhere of a farm or mtg business shutting down may have a heavy duty table that may work for you. Have a great day be safe.
I sure wish we were geographically closer. This old retired southern Illinois coal miner would sure get your splitter fixed up like you want. A LONG road trip or common carrier freight could get it to Carbondale 👍👌🇺🇸
Certainly no lack of ash around these parts, Brad! I think I could spend 6 months cutting down the dead ones and bucking them up! Trying to salvage a few good saw logs for milling, though. Good video! 👍
If you make a cardboard template with tabs to connect to the I beam some heating and air conditioning companies could make the table. Use 10 gauge or heavier. I am going to use galvanized for mine.
That is a cool splitter, if we lived closer, or you want to do a road trip to Wisconsin an out feed could be made (I'm sure you will find someone closer). The leg technique is something I have used with my splitter (splitzilla) for years, my concern was your fingers! PLEASE keep your fingers clear of the ends when that push plate is moving!! Take care Jared.
Here’s the video I’ve been asking you to make. Oh and thanks for the Superchat on my Sunday livestream, I forgot I still have hot chocolate that a customer hooked me up with, I’ll definitely have some the next time it’s cold.
You can use a few larger cut rounds as a temp out feed table, it's better than bending down. Just measure the height and cut the rounds to length. A pain to move, but they work
Great video! I am impressed with the leg technique since you don't have a table to work with yet. When you aren't feeling great, situational awareness is really important. As soon as you notice you are making more 'mistakes' in your process it's time to take a break. Especially when you are splitting so quickly. Again, it's a good technique but make sure you start and end with 10 fingers. I'm becoming really aware of how many times I handle wood. From logs to rounds to split wood. So, I make sure it never hits the ground once it's on the splitter. I stack it in totes directly from the splitter which requires a table on my splitter. It takes longer initially but I don't touch it again unless I'm stacking it for a customer. I'm lucky enough to have a tractor with pallet forks to move those totes around and dump the totes into the dump trailer for delivery. It's great that you are constantly looking for ways to reduce your handling time. Just wanted to share how I'm reducing time, effort, and human wear and tear as we aren't getting any younger. Keep up the good work and videos!
Enjoy your videos, wish I was there and we could make the platform for your splitter. It’s awesome that the wedge drops all the way down and makes it easy to work with. Cheers my friend
You've got a good system going there. I like how you work the wedge. I would do it the same way. Have you thought about making an outfeed table out of wood? Something pretty basics about 4'x4' that you notch out to side over the tongue. Dave
That splitter rocks. I'm a garlic grower and I eat lots of raw garlic. Haven't been sick in many many years. I did get the china virus earlier in the year but it hardly knocked me down. Oh wait, I'm not allowed to call it that.
Brad you are doing a great job and I have the confidence that you will get your out feed table sorted out, I'm going through same thing as far as head cold no other symptoms other then no sense of taste or smell, I tested positive. Take care.
Mr Brad, watching this vid showed just how deft you are with the control levers, you have 4 of them and hit the right one every time, I have one lever and half the time I have trouble with operating that one.
You should check out with outside with Scheib on how he redid his splitter by putting his pull tongue on the other side. Then it wouldn't interfere with him moving it around because the rack would be on the opposite side of the toung. You could also just buy some racks to put on the splitter. If you had covid you would definitely know it been there. I lost 20 lbs in 2 week because of it.
@@FirewoodattheFurnace there is 3 days I don't remember. I had it back in October. Everything is back to normal now. You might just have a sinus infection get one of those neti pods and try that out it will help alot
Self reliance is best, if possible. Buy some 4×4s and plywood or old planks and make a table yourself. Possible look up an engineer and maybe they would design one as a side job ?.
It's your time not mine but looks like you should try to find the size you want in the 4way and adjust it to be able to use it more. Running a piece through the 4way then dropping to the single is a lot of extra cycles. If you could find that size you want then burn it into your memory it would let you run it through in a lot less passes. Not that the single doesn't make the best splits or less mess because it does but the point of a better tool is proper use to save time/ effort. But again it's your time so if you want to just go out and do it 👍 not everything has to run at peak performance in life. Most of this is a dreamers rant from being jealous of the splitter... Ya
Lol yes thanks for the feedback. When I’m splitting heating wood I just set it and forget it. It crates a lot more mess and scraps but is certainly faster. Bundle wood I try to make look nicer so it fits better in the bundles
I have a separate price for oak just because of the demand and the limited quantity I have. Everything else (all hardwoods) go for the same price. I recently got a load of hickory that I’ll be processing soon. I may look at pricing that because people like it split small and I don’t get it too often
Doesn’t look like you’ve modified the splitter so the pieces don’t fall on the ground, but there’s no much you can really do with how it’s set up. You’re definitely making the best of it as is, looks as efficient technique as you can do.
@@andrewsamanthamadison3320 it’s a hardwood that it almost ready to burn off the stump. It has good heat and a nice flame. About the middle of the BTU scale
Can we build you a table grate for that thing ? Have it slide right into hitch on front. Would be happy to do it. You are close enough to me. You cover materials ( wont be much ) Get my number from Gappert I sent her a txt send it to ya
I had a tree fall during the hurricane. I have searched for good pictures of what the dark looked like and the ash wood you split was spot on.
Enjoyed this video Brad! Thanks for having us out with you to the woodyard on this day! Andrew from NB :)
Super cool! Thanx for sharing!!
Watch them hands buddy your doing awesome job keep it up
I like that splitter !!
Awesome video
That new splitter you have is like 10 times faster I like and would love one but can’t afford it yet lol
Good morning everyone
Thank you
I'm looking forward to your livestream on 12/30 @ 8pm.
Thanks for sharing your family 👪 and your wood yard with us. God bless.
Sounds good to me
Long as they don't mind
Morning brad thank u for your comment but mum passed yesterday she was neally 80 bless her thank u again
I’m so sorry Toni. Continued prayers for comfort and healing to your family
Can't wait for the livestream

Hey Brad. Liked your video and placed an order for a splitter Thanks for the info
What kind of splitter is that?

I really love your new log splitter
That Ash sure split up good on your splitter.
i am always mesmerized by your runway of pallets there. nice video. @theloghog
Thanks so much

Thanks Josh!
Nice stack of split wood
Brad, you definitely have plenty to do, Hmmm, rain doesn’t stop me😂 sitting and splitting! 😂 Take care my Friend 🚜🪵👍🏼🇺🇸
Rub it in :)

Looking,good Brad.. Next time this year I will be on the tail end of the waiting list for a 4 & 6 way splitter..
The live feed will be fun..
Thanks bud. Can’t wait to see it!
That splitter rocks. I'm a garlic grower and I eat lots of raw garlic. Haven't been sick in many many years. I did get the china virus earlier in the year but it hardly knocked me down. Oh wait, I'm not allowed to call it that.
Lol I don’t mind you calling it that at all. It is what it is. Not a fan of garlic but I’ve heard it’s a very healthy supplement
Hi Brad! I'll make you a deal. I'll take your splitter in exchange for my outfeed table. That is the one thing I have! 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for the vid. WST
Lol that will be a hard pass Mike. Hopefully I figure something out soon
Brad you are doing a great job and I have the confidence that you will get your out feed table sorted out, I'm going through same thing as far as head cold no other symptoms other then no sense of taste or smell, I tested positive. Take care.
Glad your symptoms are mild. Hope you feel better quickly
Mr Brad, watching this vid showed just how deft you are with the control levers, you have 4 of them and hit the right one every time, I have one lever and half the time I have trouble with operating that one.
Lol. Thanks Ben
Ash is Cash 💰 🪵🔥👍🤠
Did you ask Matt about making an outfeed table? Saw the shop he has when I was watching the video of the history of Principio Furnace.
I have not. He’s very busy and does more artistic stuff. That’s an idea though. Thanks!

Enjoyed another video Thank you just a question any idea what time it will be in the U.K. When you do your live stream please
It looks like 8pm here is 1am in London 😬
How do you like that splitter ,it looks really good!
It’s a decent splitter for the money. Customer service is very weak. Check out some of my more recent videos to see my struggles with them
Brad how’s the catch tray coming along for you? Splitter works great now I need to think about putting an auto cycle on mine lol🤘🏻🤘🏻🍺🍺
Lol. Funny story. The company is actually making me one and sending it to me. They are not producing them for sale yet
Self reliance is best, if possible. Buy some 4×4s and plywood or old planks and make a table yourself. Possible look up an engineer and maybe they would design one as a side job ?.
I’ll do my darndest to make your livestream on my brother’s (The King of Firewood) birthday

Do your prices vary with the type of wood being sold? I've seen certain woods go for higher prices due to restaurants using it.
I have a separate price for oak just because of the demand and the limited quantity I have. Everything else (all hardwoods) go for the same price. I recently got a load of hickory that I’ll be processing soon. I may look at pricing that because people like it split small and I don’t get it too often

Brad, what log splitter do you use?
I am currently running an Eastonmade 12-22. However this splitter which I still have is a Ramsplitter.
Quick question. Why do you split so small?
I only split small for wood that I know will be sold in my campfire bundles. The rest I split bigger but not huge
Volume is too low if you are using a microphone and have my volume cranked.
I noticed sometimes it’s lower than others. I’ll keep working on that. Thanks for the feedback
You splitting kindling ? Why small pieces end up going through more .
I split the wood for my campfire bundles smaller than I do my heating wood.
Ahh gotcha
Nothing wrong with ash eh mint wood all I burn and it’s effin cold here in Ontario
Do you sell a lot of ash over there?
Yes there is still a lot of standing dead ash here in north eastern Maryland. I’m also right near the Pennsylvania line where ash is everywhere
@@FirewoodattheFurnace that’s awesome. Ive never burned ash. What’s it comparable to?
@@andrewsamanthamadison3320 it’s a hardwood that it almost ready to burn off the stump. It has good heat and a nice flame. About the middle of the BTU scale
@@FirewoodattheFurnace that sounds like an awesome wood! Minimal drying time! Thank you!
Is that a wallenstine splitter
No It’s called a Ramsplitter
@@FirewoodattheFurnace I like it

Well you'll probably want to get a leather apron! You going to wear out the front of your clothes. Firewood tears up all clothing.
