Log Splitter Design and Construction

Heating by solid fuels, and especially fire wood, belongs to the most asked and requested types of heating in cottages. One of the main problems of heating is wood splitting as a fi rst operation. A very useful tool for splitting of wood material is a log splitter. This contribution is focused on ho...
