Only after a good nights sleep and with clean timber dont think HSE would be to keen on it.

On that note I may go and make one.

Seem to recall this one coming up before - looks like a good first aid kit could be in order

I did do a quick search before i posted and didn't get anything

Hmmm, what to think about this one?

 

I guess my thoughts are:

 

1) It's simple but ingenious - I can't see the detail but assume it's just a splitter head bolted to the flywheel. Like the belt feeder running off the same engine, less manual handling.

 

2) F&^% using it for a game of soldiers though - I can't say I go in for H&S overkill, but I would want some guards in place and some kind of tooling to hold the piece of wood being split. Can anyone else see from the video whether "Uncle Jesse" has still got all his fingers?

Ridiculously dangerous.

Ridiculously dangerous.

 

Less dangerous than riding a motorcycle in traffic, IMO.

If you could combine it with this turntable, then it might be a bit safer

Apart from the complete lack of eye protection, guards etc, that at least looks like it's marginally safer than the first one though - the bulk of the time he's keeping his hands well away from the splitter head as it comes around.

 

Got to be likely to give you arthritic wrists in later life though (I'm sure there's an innuendo in this somewhere too...!)
