Building a hydraulic wood splitter from scratch. Fixing a bought hydraulic cylinder that had a mount welded on crooked. Fabricating the linkage and linkage mount for the wedge height adjustment system. Making pins for both the log loader table and wedge moving cylinders. Welding and bolting up everything and getting the splitter to the point where it's ready for it's first test run. But came short a couple of hydraulic fittings and couldn't hook up every hose needed to make it run. But I'll get there shortly. If (fingers crossed) I get it running properly it still needs a proper tow bar and stand. Also wood rack and conveyor-ish thingy. But all of that next time. Stay tuned!
