    Nice! I have one very much like that...mine has no ID on it, so not sure...kinda thought it was a Harbor Freight model, and maybe it is, but it looks very much like that one...I like it because it has a nice sharp wedge on it, splits almost anything...my sister has one with a more blunt wedge on it...probably stalls 40% of the time!

    Those little electric hyd splitters come in handy. I broke the on/off button on mine when a split fell down and hit it. Until I replace it, on/off is plug in/unplug. Wish I had put something over it. I was always careful to keep the end they want elevated a little elevated a little. It will split a 32 inch round of red oak if you can keep the round balanced on it. :)

    Looks like your shed needs some overhead roof extensions, given the wood stacked on the side.

    Good to have the shed full. Mother Nature is turning up the heat. But. I know you are aware of that.

    Good job:salute:

    That on/off is the only thing I needed to fix to get it to be viable.

    shed holds about 6.25 cord
    That jig was my septic tank cover before I installed a riser last summer.
    I didn’t want to give it up.
    I’ll find a use for it
