Very nice job my friend. I’ve been wanting to do something like this for awhile now. My knees and my back are shot. Knees are worse though. I do have the shop and all the tools,welder and all. I’m two years into retirement, but I’m gonna keep burning wood until I can’t. If you don’t mind, I’m going to base my lift table build using ideas from your design. My home made splitter does vertical as well, but what a pain in the butt holding such big pieces up against the beam to get a good bite. Thanks for sharing. You done good sir. ✌️👍🇺🇸

Nice job. Isn't it great to get all of this advise from people that have probably never built one!

I have to point out that the fixed pulley is not a force multiplier only a direction changer.

That's a splitter like mine. I had thought of a loader but hadn't put any effort to it. As you said hydraulics are expensive and that's why I have not put the effort to it. Now I can copy your build. Thank-you for sharing.

Nicely engineered. I would recommend a wider "table" to prevent logs rolling back on the lift

A catch that could hold the lift in the upright position would be handy. That would give you more working space when you have big blocks to be split. I reckon with a little bit more engineering the arm used for lifting could have been mounted on the hitch side of the lift. Other than these things I reckon you've created a real winner.

Excellent. Better than others I have seen. Any way you can come up with a pencil drawing and dimensions?

Since then I have made an attachment -U-shaped steel jaws to break heavy branches (few inches in diameter) in half using a Logsplitter I will update the video as the time permits.

Holy schit rafal! This is really cool! In soviet america Rafal split workload in two!

One cable clamp is on correctly, and one is not. Hint, never saddle a dead horse.

Great job! Anytime you can work your head instead of your back. Made one for my splitter too. it uses a lever too lift the log. I have it posted also.

Excellent

You already have a good work platform, Maybe have a chain on a hook go from the lifting platform to your lifting arm ,Instant level work table ,unhook for the next ring

That is perfect Ty I will draw it up tomorrow. Hay is your ram connected at the front

I knew the return would lift a block of wood ,you beat me to it

Would it help to have a table to hold the partially split pieces? I think your design is simple and effective to lift the logs but seems like a lot of work to keep them there till fully spilt

I think I'd put some sort of spring loaded pin on that wooden vertical post to hold table up while splitting.

Make you holding shelf a little wider 8 more inches , then put a 4 way wedge on it

Nice job

Could you send plans to that log lift

Awesome!

Good early prototype.

Clever fellow!

The audio is terrible. Too bad it would have been an interesting topic. Doug

Très bien penser

Looks like an informative video. What'd ya say?

Nice job god bless

Very nice.

what size are all the pulleys, can you give me more information on them?

I think I have used 2" pulleys but I will advise you to use as large pulleys as you can get away with. It has to do with bending the still cable on a large radius pulleys . The smaller the radius the quicker the cable will disintegrate. Since that video I have upgraded my middle pulley for larger one and I haven't replaced my cable since. Good luck Rafał

Is your wood splitter a horizontal and vertical splitter? If it does go vertical, then is there any point in this pulley mechanism? It is a nice design.

whiteoutguy1, yes it looks like a vertical splitter, I have used one, and they are ok , what I find annoying with them is if you have a lot of big rounds, it gets pretty tiring standing on your head to work, what i learned to do was split them in half or quarters, then return the splitter to horizontal position to split to fire wood size you want, yes, you handle it twice, . have help with you so they can toss the split wood, and you can work the lever and position the logs. and not wear yourself out too soon.

hey rafal thats a pice of junk just kidding.mechanical genius i always felt.hope that you didn't waste your time with going back to sears bruce

Not practical with the table up and down on every stroke. Look at some other videos. They solved it by detaching the cable or something.

get a mic could not hear anything

That's a good idea sorta. The obvious trouble I see is that your table goes away. Good work.

Part of the table is fixed and doesn't move.
