Oh my God! Thank you. I've been searching TH-cam for this for a long time. Then, TH-cam-God used his almighty power of 'recommended videos' and now I found this. I wanted to make a log-splitter that use a manual hydraulic jack. Every video I watch shows a hydraulic press with motors and I can't afford that. Now by watching this I can make one, I've already bought the Jack so I'm gonna make one for my own just like this.
У Вас хороший инструмент. Болгарка, струбцины, инвертор, сверлильный станок и проч. Перчатки так вообще просто загляденье. И вот таким классным инструментом сварганить такую поипень ... Собаке отдельный респект))
WOW! I have no mechanical skills whatsoever, but I did watch the entire video and am so impressed!!!!! I'm looking up DIY log splitters for my dad and I'm just so amazed by this product you made. You are clearly very good at your craft. Thank you.
I think everyone who posts an invention on TH-cam should all get a thumbs up 👍🏻 as we can all learn something from each video and make improvements, I think it’s bad that people give thumbs down 👎🏼 when people show the things they make even if they are not good as they are only trying to help . Try black sabbath for music.😁
I totally agree with you. I never give thumbs down... Regarding the music it's difficult to find nice songs when you have to use copyright free music...
Exactly... there is so much more to You Tube than fail videos, Making fun of the Opposing Political party and Videos of people chugging full bottles of whiskey!
Thank you very much for your comments! I am glad you liked it! Yes I have trained my dog. When I use the welding machine or the cutting/grinding disc he walks away! Some people have criticized me that the dog is in danger but he never stays near the area when I weld! 😊👍
very smart and lots of good work. I like your replies regarding people criticizing your art , you're very polite and respectful I admire your manners and your work. like you said it's very easy sitting doing nothing but it takes a real man with a brain to invent even a little thing to improve lifestyle. keep the good work sir. thumb up.
Thank you very much for such positive comments!!! Regarding my reply comments I honestly try hard to be polite with some people... It is really sad how many people love to write hate comments... I don't mind when people criticize my work, I know I am not perfect or a professional but when they personally insult me I get upset! When I watch TH-cam videos, If I don't like a video I just turn it off and don't bother writing hate comments. Thanks again for your comments, I appreciate! Greetings from Greece!
How do you know the people that are criticizing are sitting doing nothing? Because they didn't record it? 🤷 Did you ever think those are people that are also Craftsman and just feel differently about the design or the practicality? Here you go. From a full-time fabricator and woodworker. Way too much effort to split a log. I have plenty of those jacks and they have a very short throw and lowering it is such a hassle. I don't like the design. Sue me.
I don't care about criticism. I have no problem. I dislike TH-cam haters who love to insult. You didn't like the design? Good for you. This is not a competition. I didn't force you to watch my videos.
I just randomly found your video. I'm not a fan of the music (I prefer the original workshop sound, even sped up), but it was an awesome project. Subscribed.
Thank you very much!! I put music on my videos because I think they will be very boring just to hear the natural monotonous sound of cutting and welding steel. Don't you think so?
Personally I really prefer without any music. All top notch youtubers I follow use the natural sounds of the shop (Mathias Wandel, DiResta, John Heisz, Hand Tool Rescue...), so yes, it's all cutting, welding, drilling sounds, with or without audio comments, and it's really fine for me. That said, it's your channel so you do as you prefer, and it's solid content anyway. Thanks for your videos.
I am not a professional welder.... I used the grinding wheel and they look just fine... Just trying to show to other people how they can transform pieces of garbage into nice looking and functional objects... However, using a manual jack was a mistake.I need to spend some time and replace the manual jack with a motorized mechanism... I always get involved in new projects and forget the log splitter! Thank you very much for your comments!
When you put your electric motor on it, I would also put wheels on it and make it so you can use either vertically or horizontally. Beautiful craftsmanship!
Nice tidy log splitter are you going to give it a name like Greta 😊 you did a fab job recycling metal no fancy equipment just good hands♻️👍🍀all the best from Ireland 💚🍀🇮🇪
Thank you very much for your comments!!! Glad you liked it! That's my main purpose, to show to other people that with basic tools and scrap metal you can create useful things! Greetings from Greece!! 🇬🇷😊👍
Amazing how many critics there are in comments... Funny to think about it but the Eiffel tower and the statue of liberty are still standing, those were made with far less advanced tools and I'm sure with less prepwork done! Lol
Right? Such a nice build. I love that the demo log was gnarly chunk of hardwood. I have too many positive things to say, and I need sleep. Doggo is happy too. Thanks for posting.
I like the idea of diy a lot but... I’d use an air jack and save my spine. That’s an easy upgrade, so it’s not too late, hint hint 😉 Thanks for taking us along though, you built that thing bombproof, it’ll outlast all of us!(and our spines🤪)
Thank you very much for your comments!! I totally agree with you I need to replace the manual jack with an air jack. Initially I tried to keep the cost low however the manual jack is too slow... It's true the metal structure is bombproof!! Take care!! 😄👍👍👍
ca facon de couper avec une meuleuse est tres dangereuse on doit couper en avalant avec le capot en appui contre la piece comme avec une tronconeuse a chaine
Thank you very much for your comments! Good luck with your project! I need to replace the manual jack with an air jack as well... It is kind of slow... 😊👍
Keep it at it fella, you are clearly on the right track. You worked on some heavy steel without a lot of expensive equipment and it looks great ! Your dog was a big help, also.
Thank you so much for your comments! It is true it turned out very nice however I need to replace the manual jack with an electric hydraulic one. The manual jack is slow... My dog has become the Superstar of my channel!! 😄
Very nice process of building this machine, but in my opinion it is helpful only if you have just a few big pieces, cause splitting takes way too much time compared with other models for example with electric motors
It is true that it needs improvement. Although the body is very solid, it is quite slow... I am planning to replace the manual pump with an electric hydraulic pump.
Listen my friend, you are talented, creative, golden hands, it's a pleasure to see it. I'm building something like this, to be finished I'll upload to TH-cam. Thank you. I'm from Israel (:
Shalom! Thank you very much for your comments. When you finish send me the link. Good luck with your project! I have really good friends from Israel (Tel-Aviv)! Greetings from Greece!! 🇬🇷😊👍
A great bit of equipment & well made, the only thing I would have done is mounted it higher on the wall so as I wouldn't have to squat while I was using it. Thank you for posting.
A design and a job well done but the system is very slow I built a wood stove and consumed in the winter about 12000 kilograms of firewood and prepared it with an acha in two weeks if I used your machine it would take too long. Regards Angel
Thank you very much for your comments! I agree with you.... It is well built but slow... Actually I am in the process of looking to buy and replace the manual jack with an electric hydraulic pump..
@@RustisGold The robust one and how well the tool is made well deserve that you incorporate a cylinder or a hydraulic pump with this you would have a perfect tool. The electric pump and a cylinder of that route is not very expensive and there are also thousands of these second-hand parts. greetings ANGEL
Split with maul or ax is ok when the wood is dried/cured all the way through, but if it's green/wet hard woods like oak it's mighty tough to split. I have a bunch of oak that's been cut and sitting for 4mos now and I still can't split it with a maul. 😅
All that work (nicely done) to build something that requires a lot of work...Harbor Freight 30 ton air hydraulic jack for a little over $100 would fix that, just saying!
@@RustisGold I would think this "air over hydraulic" would be most practical but you would still have to buy a ram on top of that and extend your bed www.harborfreight.com/10000-psi-air-hydraulic-pump-98318.html This air jack would be more practical in my opinion with the set-up you already have with very little mods and more economical too www.harborfreight.com/20-ton-air-over-hydraulic-jack-95553.html The electric hydraulic pumps are kinda expensive and you must have 220v to operate them. I'm no expert on the subject though.
If he only splits as to what he needs per 2 days vs a months worth of wood with this thing it be worth it. But don't expect to split 5 core's of wood in a day because your wrist would sieze up and fall off. Unless some other method of pumping the Jack is figured. Great craftsmanship though..
Hi, again!! And again thanks for this video! i liked ( also again ) your idea, and craftsmanship. But the 4 leged fellow's still the best of this all!!
Theres a few comments on an axe being easier, try that on Australian hard woods and im guessing America has some hard woods as well. I hit a 10 inch red gum log (type of eucalyptus) with a block splitter yesterday at least 30 times with no effect, either got stuck or bounced off.
Αψογη δουλειά και άψογη εκτέλεση. Το αποτέλεσμα είναι καταπληκτικό. Από εκεί και πέρα μπορείς να σκεφτείς για βελτιώσεις (ηλεκτρική πρέσσα κλπ) αλλά η δεξιοτεχνία σου είναι εντυπωσιακή. Μπράβο!
I admire that craftsmanship and all, but an axe and a chopping block would be much faster, easier and way more fun. For all this effort you could have hooked up some hydraulics. Or or, buy these already ready to go at home depot for 170 bucks. Nice work though
I love to make shit, so I see it from that point of view, also If I made one like this I "wood" use it in far away cabinets, remote place, etc. But for where I live not practical at all when I burn up to 6 to 7 cords of wood during the winter. Nice job..
¡¡¡Muchas gracias por tus comentarios!!! Tienes razón, mi perro es muy leal, lo amo. Lo encontramos en la calle hace 5 años, frío y hambriento ... ¡Ahora es parte de la familia!
I agree... As I have mentioned before I need to spend some time and replace the manual jack with a motorized mechanism... I always get involved in new projects and forget the log splitter! Thank you very much for your comments!😊👍
Scientist: We have just detected a new source of very strong gravitational waves in the galaxy. Rust is Gold: Nah..... I just moved my log splitter..... Awesome work. Thing could split rocks!
Tom Reagan thank you for your comments.The cost of making this project was really low, around 30 euros. The earnings from this video are (until now) more than 15 times the amount that it cost me to create it. So far not bad at all. However, I agree with you it is a little slow, I am planning to replace the manual bottle jack with an automatic (electric) one which will save me time and effort. Stay tuned for the modification video!
Rust is Gold Oh - I get it. The feasibility of the device isn't the goal, it is internet revenue. Ok - now I get it. Post the electric version when you can.
Tom Reagan sorry but you are wrong once again... On your initial negative comment you wrote about me spending a whole lot of work and money for a dumb idea. When I informed you that not only the splitter didn't cost me a penny but I have also made money out of it you came back with a new ironic comment about the feasibility of the device not being the goal but instead the internet revenue. Sorry to inform you but your new comment is a complete nonsense, the device is 100% functional. However, I agreed from the beginning that an electric version would be much faster. Finally, I looked at your account in order to check some of your own creations so I could improve my "dumb" ideas but I found none, just some re-uploads.... Don't you think it would be a great idea to leave your keyboard for a while and start creating something, anything, a wooden box for example. Maybe then you'll realize how difficult it is to create something and the same time how easy it is to criticize... I will let you know when I post the electric version. Have a good day Sir...
I have stopped adding music in my videos. There's no way of pleasing so many different music preferences. So I decided to have only good old tool sounds! 😊👍
А так в реальности случается? Именно с гидравлическими, не с инерционными реечными дровоколами? Если упругие деформации в конструкции рамы незначительны (она, по виду, довольно-таки жесткая, неупругая), то запасти достаточную потенциальную энергию, чтобы с силой подбросить вверх расколовшееся полено, ей будет негде...
CNC_Vivisector , в реальности принцип устройства дровокола в данном случае никакокого значения не имеет или как максимум - крайне малое. Существенным будут порода дерева, её плотность, влажность и т.д, всё то - что будет определять упругие напряжения в дереве и, в конечном итоге, куда будет "направлен" и реализован выход этого напряжения. Вероятность "отскока" - мизерная, но не нулевая, - почувствуйте разницу. Поэтому держать" голову в зоне, где возможны накопления потенциально опасных напряжений - это, как говорят, - до случая)). Решение вопроса проще не бывает - держите голову подальше..
I am a fabricator and you did a very good job of that splitter.

I want to change the manual jack and replace it with an electric hydraulic pump since it is a little slow to operate it manually...
Good idea.
Made one like this years ago. It ended up being more work using it than just splitting by hand.
Absolutely is. By 5x at LEAST
Great informative video, very entertaining! Good music too. You made welding look easy
Thank you very much for your comments!!!
use air powered jack. save lots of effort
and time. good vid.

Thank you very much!!! His name is Max! Found him living on the streets 5 years ago... His is part of the family now! ...and my assistant!
Just an observation, if you mounted it the other way up you wouldn't have to crouch to pump the jack and you wouldn't have to lift the logs so far.
You are right... Also I need to replace the manual jack with an electric hydraulic one. It is kind of slow...

السلام عليكم ورحمه الله وبركاته فكرة رائعة تحياتي لك من الجزائر
شكرا جزيلا لك على تعليقات الكريمة. أنا سعيد لأنك أحببت إبداعي! تحيات من اليونان!
I admire that craftsmanship and all, but an axe and a chopping block would be much faster, easier and way more fun. For all this effort you could have hooked up some hydraulics. Or or, buy these already ready to go at home depot for 170 bucks. Nice work though
Thank you very much for your comments. It's true, I have to change the manual jack with a hydraulic pump...
@@RustisGold Yep - with a hydraulic pump this thing is perfect! Love the super solid build too, looks flippen rad!
@@RustisGold Or rig up a foot pedal?
@@ratheanach5545 unfortunately it is slow...
@@brizzyroz super solid build? Where did you see that?
Thanks on video So now I can finish building mine to split 15" round 19" tall I'll just make deeper inset for throat on slide in of the wood round
😊👍
I love to make shit, so I see it from that point of view, also If I made one like this I "wood" use it in far away cabinets, remote place, etc. But for where I live not practical at all when I burn up to 6 to 7 cords of wood during the winter. Nice job..
Thank you very much for your comments!
Πολυ καλη δουλεια!!!Μπραβο σου
Σας ευχαριστώ πολύ!! 😊👍
That would take forever to split logs
I need to upgrade it...
@@RustisGold YES I' am going to make a car spring arm splitter Happy Holidays
Happy Holidays! 😊👍
@@426superbee4 cool !!! 😊👍👍
Cool love to see it > Merry Christmas buddy
Bravo, bel lavoro
Complimenti
Grazie mille!!!
should be great with electric ! thanks
Hopefully I'll have it ready before next winter 😊
que bonito tu perro,se ve muy leal. MUY BUEN PROYECTO.
¡¡¡Muchas gracias por tus comentarios!!! Tienes razón, mi perro es muy leal, lo amo. Lo encontramos en la calle hace 5 años, frío y hambriento ... ¡Ahora es parte de la familia!
Not a very long stroke on that bottle jack
I need to replace the manual jack with an electric hydraulic one. It is kind of slow...
Really nice, but like others said it needs a motorized piece or it will be too much work
I agree... As I have mentioned before I need to spend some time and replace the manual jack with a motorized mechanism... I always get involved in new projects and forget the log splitter! Thank you very much for your comments!😊👍
Y cuando uno no encuentra que hacer con su tiempo sale esto
Scientist: We have just detected a new source of very strong gravitational waves in the galaxy.
Rust is Gold: Nah..... I just moved my log splitter.....
Awesome work. Thing could split rocks!
Hahaha!!! Thank you very much for your comments! I need to upgrade my log splitter and replace the manual jack with an electric hydraulic one...
Quel que soit le résultat, il a au moins le mérite d'avoir essayer, en déplaise à certains...
La critique est aisée mais l'art est difficile !
Merci beaucoup pour vos commentaires! 😊👍
Fits my needs
I am glad you liked it 😊👍
Что проще топором махать или домкрат качать?
Good Job Sir, I will coppying your strategy. nice job.
Thank you very much for your comments!! I'm glad you liked it!! Good luck with your project!!
Домкрат не выдерживает многократное использование и очень долго.Лучше приспособить гидравлику.
Большое спасибо за ваши комментарии. Совершенно верно ... Насчет гидравлики согласен. Мне нужно найти время и заменить его ... 😊👍
'scrap metal' - random I beam I just found lying in the woods.
Are you aware of places called "Scrap Yards"??
They are full of scrap metal parts you can buy for peanuts.
You should visit a scrap yard one day...
A whole lot of work and money for a dumb idea. The splitter is so slow that you can do it by hand in 10% of the time. No joke.
Tom Reagan thank you for your comments.The cost of making this project was really low, around 30 euros. The earnings from this video are (until now) more than 15 times the amount that it cost me to create it. So far not bad at all. However, I agree with you it is a little slow, I am planning to replace the manual bottle jack with an automatic (electric) one which will save me time and effort. Stay tuned for the modification video!

Rust is Gold Oh - I get it. The feasibility of the device isn't the goal, it is internet revenue. Ok - now I get it. Post the electric version when you can.
Tom Reagan sorry but you are wrong once again...
On your initial negative comment you wrote about me spending a whole lot of work and money for a dumb idea.
When I informed you that not only the splitter didn't cost me a penny but I have also made money out of it you came back with a new ironic comment about the feasibility of the device not being the goal but instead the internet revenue. Sorry to inform you but your new comment is a complete nonsense, the device is 100% functional. However, I agreed from the beginning that an electric version would be much faster.
Finally, I looked at your account in order to check some of your own creations so I could improve my "dumb" ideas but I found none, just some re-uploads....
Don't you think it would be a great idea to leave your keyboard for a while and start creating something, anything, a wooden box for example.
Maybe then you'll realize how difficult it is to create something and the same time how easy it is to criticize...
I will let you know when I post the electric version.
Have a good day Sir...
How many tons of force can the electric version produce. Thanks for the video.
You got the big "Don't recommend channel " just for the music
I don't use music anymore in my videos but you also got the big "I just don't care" comment.
Great video on mute
I have stopped adding music in my videos. There's no way of pleasing so many different music preferences.
So I decided to have only good old tool sounds! 😊👍
HI mate, Brilliant idea, any chance of fiding out the lengh of the I-beam, this will fit perfect next to my small wood shed . cheers
Thank you very much for your comments! Here are the dimensions of the Log Splitter:
Total Length 98cm / Jack Length 28cm / Cutting Area Length 41cm

@@RustisGold Gonna try and build it
Надо вверх ногами перевернуть всю конструкцию, - если расколется "со щелчком", то лучше пусть в ноги полено прилетит, чем в голову.
Спасибо большое за совет !!!
Rust is Gold , это не совет)), - это пожелание. Механизмы (устройства, приспособления) облегчающие нашу жизнь должны быть безопасные.
А так в реальности случается? Именно с гидравлическими, не с инерционными реечными дровоколами?
Если упругие деформации в конструкции рамы незначительны (она, по виду, довольно-таки жесткая, неупругая), то запасти достаточную потенциальную энергию, чтобы с силой подбросить вверх расколовшееся полено, ей будет негде...
CNC_Vivisector , в реальности принцип устройства дровокола в данном случае никакокого значения не имеет или как максимум - крайне малое. Существенным будут порода дерева, её плотность, влажность и т.д, всё то - что будет определять упругие напряжения в дереве и, в конечном итоге, куда будет "направлен" и реализован выход этого напряжения. Вероятность "отскока" - мизерная, но не нулевая, - почувствуйте разницу. Поэтому держать" голову в зоне, где возможны накопления потенциально опасных напряжений - это, как говорят, - до случая)). Решение вопроса проще не бывает - держите голову подальше..
you are amazing thank you so much
Thank you very much! Glad you liked it! 😊👍
Эта ,, приспособа" красиво выглядит , но в хозяйстве мало эффективна и КПД , извините , никакой.
Большое спасибо за ваши комментарии. Мне нужно найти время и поменять ручной механизм. Это медленно ... 😊👍
