    I'm glad she does the stacking!!! Most of the time when I stacked, it falls over! :headbang::picard: I don't have the knack and patience she does. :whistle:

    I've been widdling away at that big pile of Oak I got, I finally finished it up yesterday. Some of those huge pieces I had to quarter split by hand first before I could get them to the splitter. Man they were some heavy pieces. :eek::pain:
    Chrissy still in the stacking process but it looks like we may have gotten a solid 3 cord from that load. :yes:

    Na, the neighbors I do have are really nice and know what to expect when they see wood out there. I've had this routine for 30+ years, every year and not 1 complaint. Several years back though it when I found out the law because the "Code enforcement" official came by and told me I had 30 days to get it gone. He was a nice fella and didn't want to bust my balls, he was giving me the heads up "in case" someone did complain.

    Do you have a hookaroon or cant hook? I find rolling rounds to the splitter is easier than flipping quarters.
    Glad you got it done and not injured. That will be some great heat.

    Weld u up a platform like we built for the vertical splitter. Keeps rounds the height of the foot. Sure makes sliding them around to split easier. IMG_20190115_140952755.jpg IMG_20190701_111650362.jpg IMG_20190912_113713247_HDR.jpg

    What are the dimensions for that Jeff? Pipe size? My friend loves to kneel :picard:and split vertical when he and his other friend process wood. Now i understand its full purpose.

    Yes!!! That's awesome and a great idea! Yes I am and I saw it on one of your other posts! I haven't forgot. I have to get 2" pipe for the height I need. My foot base is 1-3/4" thick then the hold base teeth.

    I have to use 2" pipe to get it level on the base when it's vertical. Just measure the thickness of the foot on the splitter that'll get ya there.
