    image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg Really happy with this splitter. Found it on Craigslist, thanks guys for the info on it. I said I didn't really need one before, now I think I'm getting spoiled. It was cheap and works good.

    The reason I asked is I have a relative that just sold his homemade splitter on CL earlier this week that is a twin for the one in your picture. And you live in the same general area as we do. What a coincidence.

    It don't have to be pretty. Heck mine uses a piece of upside down railroad track for the beam. Got some rigging I mean engineering to do to it soon to add a table. Might also rig up a lift type table just to hold rounds and convert to a lift at a later date.
