I am looking for set of plans to build a log splitter. Does anyone have a design they can recommend?

Bill, take your tape measure a pencil and a notebook and go down to your local dealer or rental store and have a look at a splitter. They are not very complicated and fairly easy to build. Take some measurments, make yourself a drawing, even take a couple pictures, then go home and build yourself one. Good luck!

What you actually want is plans for a WOODsplitter. I have a log splitter, but generally refer to it as a sawmill. While on this subject, could someone tell me why some people refer to loggers as lumberjacks? I am third generation sawmill owner/operator, and have never heard anyone in the industry refer to themselves using that ignorant term.

I looked into this a while ago and came to the conclusion that buying one was the cheapest way to go. I got a Honda engined model from Northern Tool and couldn't be happier with it.

True you could build one, but by the time your done, you would Probably end up spending more money finding all the parts and paying for shipping on some. Take a look at our website.

i agree, but if you have free steel, cylinder, valve, you can save a few bucks by building. Northern has plans in the form of a booklet for about ten bucks. Have you fellows seen the FarmShow tape where the guy made a woodsplitter using a truck axle driven with tractor pto? Pulls the wedge with cable instead of using hydraulics.

I did not see the splitter you referenced but I did see the one that used the ram from an old square hay baler and it put fear into me! I steer clear on mechanical splitters.
