Thank you all for commenting. This wood splitter was built by my husband. He asked me to post it to TH-cam so he could share it with someone. He is not computer savvy. I will share your comments with him and post answers to your questions.
CertifiedHoarder He couldn’t find anything it couldn’t shear. It walked right through 16” sugar maple. Or any thing he put in it. No trouble with oak. The shears don’t like dry wood. It will do it but the blade heats up faster.
Nikolai Michaelson, he said it was automated with a thingamigwitchit, he can't remember what the part was called. We are both laughing at our old age. He created this machine back in 2002. (Almost 20 years ago) There is a firewood processor called the Chomper, out of Washington State, he modeled this machine after that one. If he thinks of it I'll let you know.
Nice machine. Absolutely brilliant for straight grained softwoods.
Only 4 comments ? This thing looks extremely functional and well built. Hats off to you sir.

Thank you. It served me very well. I wanted it to hold up to the demands of a logger not a part time firewood person. Ken
OH! it slices the logs before the split, that’s a cool way to do it. Awesome! Love the Detroit by the way, they sound so cool
I've driven past your place and alwase wanted to see your machine but never caught you running it , thank you for posting your video
Very nice machine. Love the sound of the old detriot. The landscape looks like Maine.
I have seen many Firewood processing machines in action and I think this is the most efficient one I have seen yet.
Now that is thinking outside of the box I like it !

I am impressed by your design and build talents. Love the Clark too!
Дизель как 2х тактник работает.интересный дровокол👍
Wow I have never seen a hydraulic blade like that to cut rounds it's a chainsaw or circular saw. Really nice
Looks like a Hahn and a Chomper had a baby
Incredible machine . Luv the knife instead of blade or chain. Super low maintenance. Is the gm diesel out of an Oliver tractor? The green matches
Интересный механизм,и отходов мало.но наверное нагрузка на режущую конструкцию большая.
?
That's a work of art.
I've never seen a similar firewood processer
What other homebuilt toys does he have?
I guess you don't have to deal with a ton of sawdust & chain sharpening..
Very nice! Is the shear blade homemade or was it purchased? If homemade, what type of steel and how is it holding up? Thanks.
bien fait
How does the shear handle the denser or more spiral grained hard woods? Hickory, black gum, hard maple and oaks etc? Can it shear 14" hickory?

Thank you!
What timber is this? Where is this working?
Shaun Brennan
White ash in Northern Michigan. It works the same in any type of timber.
Would he ever consider selling the processor?
He sold it years ago😊
@@mollyjonoland6615 how did he automate it? It's still snipping and splitting while he watches (and yawns lol)
