    I finally got my shed full, I can't fit one more piece. What is stacked outside was left over from my last load. Shed is 10x20x6ft. It's a repurposed hog barn I got free.

    I built this splitter out of some old and some new parts. It had a dual manifold value on it anyway so I made the log lift. It is a life saver and it serves as a table once the big rounds split so they don't fall to the ground. If I can muscle a round onto the lift it will lift it.

    You can see my outdoor burner in the first picture. It has a 36in deep fire box but my splitter will only take 22in so that's what I cut them at

    I fill that stove once a day before work most of the winter. When we were -20 and -30 I had to fill it twice a day. And yes it heats my domestic hot water. My house is set at 72degrees (cold blooded wife and a newborn) and my domestic hot water is set to 120 degrees

    My Dad gave me an Estwing for my 6th birthday to be the "limber" with him when he went to saw. 44 years later I still have it.
