Make it Extreme Compared to your other builds this is more of simple machine but it is hecka useful. Like
Make it Extreme This Video is good as other of your Videos 👍
Make it Extreme No Thanks ...
Surely a better idea would be a plate pushing the log onto a split wedge.?
I respectfully beg to differ. The helically wound inclined plane (screw) method requires a LOT less expensive hardware and no hydraulics. This is a great application of the concept. And don't call me Shirley!
Approximately 70+ years ago my grandfather in Switzerland designed this splitter, and after we moved to the states my dad built one in the mid 70’s using a Briggs and Stratton gas engine to get a patent and sell to a large company. John Deere, Briggs and Stratton and several others were very interested in it, but as some of you have stated they couldn’t come up with safety features, keeping someone from sucking their hand or worse through it. It’s still the best splitter I think, glad to see some of you building off my grandpa’s idea
This is a valuable addition to my woodwork collection kzhead.infoUgkxkNYRBJuiJ6EwD-tQSAlxg0eFKsnR2cgz I still will rate this woodwork plan as the best in my reference library. It always seems to stand out from the rest whenever you go through the library. This is a masterpiece.
Please do a shop tour video if you haven't already I would kill to have that machinery
cylo lloyd .. make it.. he sells you the plans
Nice build, looks very sturdy. That will be splitting logs for years to come. 👍👍
Nice build. Have to say your workshop is looking great. What a top working space and I really like how open it is. You must have good weather, not too much rain.
Damn fine work! You must have been raised by parents like mine, "If it's worth doing, it's worth doing it RIGHT!" Dad AND Mom...
A bigger scale version of this would be dope. Obviously installing several more safety features and such would be highly advisable.
Just woke up and this got uploaded, off to a great day
same
Agreed!
As much as this is extreme, I really don't find it dangerous for user, like all other screw log splitters are. Great work, guys!
Thank you!
I know the comments are necessary but youtube trolls and the Internet experts are so annoying. Keep up the fantastic work man.... you do excellent work!
Thank you very much! :)
As someone mentioned before, some emergency stop is a must for this kind of machines, because like it or not, accidents happen, and machines don't forgive. this is a great project though :)
You should think about some emergency stop switches (maybe also one to be triggered by foot). I really like your videos :)
Your computer needs an emergency stop switch, timed for 5 minutes, so you get off your ass and actually do something instead of being the internet safety police.
Dont be stupid bro, it is nice idea, and will save on power bill
It takes as much electricity to start an electric motor as it does to run it for a minute.. Just how much are you saving?
This is false , it use 2x more when stoped, compared when runing. www.wired.com/2011/11/power-and-electric-motors/ And even if that is case, your safety it thing u can not buy
I hope you made it pedal operated because that can easily fuck you up if you get caught in it lol
Shut-off switches are a darned good idea to include with any tool or machinery that could be dangerous that way, lockouts are imperative while working on the stuff... There was a technician working on an elevator on board a cruise ship (A Carnival Ship, if I'm not mistaken.) And the worker either forgot to put a lockout on the circuit, or someone tampered with the lockout, and he was literally sliced in two And a passenger got video of the scene with he waterfall of blood... The cruise line tried to buy it off the passenger before they uploaded it, but they wouldn't sell it. They cruise under the laws of Panama, and they haven't got the worker safety laws we have in the US. Most of the copies were taken down, it was awful.
Taking those strings off his hoodie would be a good start to not getting sucked in that thing...
freaking amazing!!! such smarts. ingenuity, un-conventional and talented!! love it!
please make a lathe for metal spinning procces! thanks for all you videos!!
You deserve to have a tv show. . you are the best in build machines and tools!!!! congratulations for your videos in hi definition!!!
Thank you very much for the kind words! :)
james bond killing machine!
haha! :)
This is not bad but why not make a Kinetic Log Splitter? Now that would be a nice project :)
My goodness put that chopsaw on a stand me back is sore looking at you , brilliant job boyo.
I can see how a screw type log splitter would be more dangerous, but as long as you don't wear loose clothing and be careful im sure you'll be fine. and when i saw this i thought I've never really seen these commercially available, but to me the screw type seems faster to reset the next log, no pulling a lever or pushing a button, just push on the next log and boom, there ya go. plus I've seen some of the smaller "hydraulic cylinder wedge" type splitters struggle on not even very big logs... but because the screw type is always spinning and is sharp, it cuts through as it splits and never slows down. I really like the screw type, especially if there is a gas version for my acreage where splitting literally tons of logs by hand with an axe gets quite tiring, I do find it fun, but when you just need wood quick for a fire, the convenience of a splitter would sure be nice.
Would it be possible someday you to try to create Make It Extreme Cold Cut Saw?
One more fantastic job guys! Works like a charm! Thanks for sharing!!!
Glad you like it!
I always found them super interesting to watch!
:)
I like how you secured the gas cylinder against falling.
awwe yes, a video just in time for lunch, love you guys!
Love you too! :)
Gracias por mostrar y compartir tan buenos proyectos. Te felicito
The minds of genius at work again.. Nice work guys!
Thank you! :)
Do you have any ideas for working safety? But i can say that is a very cool tool
Awesome. I need to build this but using a Briggs and Stratton motor.
Yess dude! Keep em coming you genius, always a great watch. Well done!
Glad you like it!
Hoodie with loose rope running around the neck. Perfect choice when running rotating machinery.
Could you make an automatic surface grinder? I'd love to see you do it
Nice. rather see more of the machine than splitting. does cone turn right or left?
Stunt bugs at 5:52 LOL
Great work, don´t forget to install an emergency switch/stop. Don´t drill your head :-)
Dude, what a build!!!!
Thanks Dude! :)
great project! but how did you solve the problem of the breaker pinion moving back and forward when it's threading itself into the wood?
Beautiful work done, you are just amazing. Thank you for sharing your video
Glad you like it!
Bloody brilliant ! Not sure it would work on the Aussie hardwoods I have to deal with though.
Any plans for a bladed, piston powered or pulley powered log splitter? Something you could easily throw on the back of a truck to take into the woods & not need power for?
Never been a fan of these types of log splitters but still it’s pretty nice
pretty nice, but the screw needs more bite on start and i would put some 90deg curves on end to push the halfs to side.
Wow that's such a cool way of splitting logs
Hydraulic wood splitters are the only way to go. Wood that size is no problem for an axe. I use 23" oak for my heat. Anything spinning that fast with no guards is asking for trouble !
Would be nice to see how you made the splitter cone. But hey.... nicely made!
You guys are seriously f***ing awesome!!
did you make the spiral thread your self? great video btw!!
Mad skills bro.
You've made a useful machine, good what you are made
Thank you!
hello MIE, So how did you make the keyway. I think I can get away with that on my rf31 if I lock the spindle. A small relief under the bottom of the cutter? Cut angle? Another inspiring project thanks! I'll contribute a idea... pick-up truck jib crane...
awesome work! What chop saw and blade are you using? thanks
really you are professional i loved your work
Hevy Duty Splitter even for logs i think , nice project
Good job man! The screw head thé part that actully splits the log did you make that or where did you buy it
You can see the crack in the motor casting widen as he screws tension in the footplate. Just an interesting observation.
Would have worked without the knife! Great stuff...
Ωραια κατασκευη!Πρακτικη και ευκολη στη χρηση...Μπραβο!
Ευχαριστώ! :)
Absolutely love your videos , thank you 😊
Thank you!
I clicked on the URL below for getting plans but it was confusing. I have to pay money every month forever to get plans for this machine? rather just pay a one time fee. How do I get to see the plans? your URL did not bring me to your machine.
Fantastic work guys!!
Thank you my friend!
as always, just amazing
Thanks!
Beautiful work!
Thank you! :)
fantastic instructive videos
no sir thank you for makeing such good videos for us.keep it up
exellent work! strong mashine!
Thank you!
great new intro.
Someone got an A in metal shop... lol Loved the video!
Thank you! :)
Little typo in the description, since when do you slit the wood(rule 1)
you are the best wellder I know. keep up the good work.
Thank you very much! :)
which saw you are using ? Want one too
please make a DC electric Arc furnace. I am very keen to see that and try it
that was slick i have to make one what type of motor should i go with like size and voltage since i live in the United States
That's got a real widow maker vibe about it. Still a tidy piece of working kit, you'd want to watch yourself with it though, no more that 3 or 4 cans while using it.
do you ever sell any of your projects, or do you ever rebuild for customers? Love your videos though.
Nice build!
Thanks!
please, add a safety push button, those movable parts seams to be very dangerous... but anyway wonderful work, congratulations
cool project, I'll do anything for welding skills like this... on second thoughts maybe not anything but a lot of practice
You would be surprised how easy welding with a mig welder like he's using is. I've seen guys put down decent welds their first day using one.
I did a little stick a while back but, it's not really hard but it definitely needs a lot of practice
Stick or ARC welding is a lot harder than the type of welder he's using. Though I do prefer it when need more penetration or am welding less than perfect surfaces.
Search for the chanel "Welding tips and tricks", you will become an Jedi of Welding
Why not add an extension to this machine and make it a lathe as well? Great work as always!!
Maybe english wheel or planishing hammer next ? :)
Hi Great work your welding is one of the best i have seen.
Thank you! :)
Muito legal seu trabalho Parabéns
awesome again. dont forget the emergency button!!! very important.
Переколол кучу дров за полчаса винтовым дровоколом, это ВЕЩЬ !!!
sois increíbles!!!
You have great skills but sometimes your projects are kinda useless, but still great work man!
Thank you!
This guy deserves more subscribers than Grant Thompson
Manuel Torralba Abso-fucking-lutely!
split a bunch of wood in half an hour with a screw woodcutter, that's the THING !!!
keep the good work up i love it
I am sure its been asked. But . How did you or where did you make/buy that screw auger?
Operating that with that sweatshirt with the dangling hood strings is pretty extreme.
Hola de cuantos hp es tu motor? Muy buen proyecto
awesome build. how many hours did it take to make?
Very cool as always...
Thank you! :)
Where do you store your projects when you're done?
Yep, making one of those now too!! Thanks! You should set up a contest where one subscriber (ME) can hang out with you at your shop for a day
that's powerful 💪
Beatiful work
Thank you!
gd wrk... add sme kind of a protection to it... smething like a sliding cover to the splitting roller.
The tip it's a screw ? Great job.
Thanks!
