Yeah my annual tick over happened the other day also Mike, but I still don't really think it (the body tells another story though), so I hope that you thoroughly enjoy it buddy. ;-)

As for the wood splitter, I had to linish out a lot of metal from those blades to split our hardwoods that we use/get/grow here as the idea I grabbed it from was designed for European softwoods I reckon as I needed to get a pro's axe profile on those heads to do the job as the wood (and everything else) just bounced on the standard heavy shoulders of the edges that bloke used. I also had to make my own measurements up as none were provided in the clip or site so I based it on the longest piece of wood that I get delivered here and the hatchets that I could source in the number required (I certainly got a funny look from the girl at the checkout when I dumped down 8 hatches. I told her that they were for hatchet throwing competitions).

All in all I think that we've done a pretty good job so far and I can't wait to get the 1st 1 finished up and painted in something bright.

Anyhow it's now time for a rum or 2 before bed. :-D

Cheers.

Posting on a frosty Sunday morning, but thankfully not quite as cold as yesterday.

Thanks Vic.

That has been thought about Sten and I've been planning another splitter using an air assisted 20T bottle jack to split the big rounds that get dropped off here. ;-)

Anyhow I'm going to enjoy this coffee now before I go downstairs to light the fire.

Cheers.

That's 1 thing that we don't have around, gas lines, but I was thinking about doing something like this.

Thanks TL.

Well it's all toasty downstairs now and after I do a bit of marking out I'll then be tacking the 2nd kindling splitter frame together.

Cheers.

The upper left coast is experiancing a heat wave, current temp is 91f and probably a bit warmer in nest few hours. The good news is my 2 1/2 year old mini split heat pump is easily keeping my house cool.
