Yup, looks great, a simple sturdy design.

Thanks guys,

Raw Dodge, I'm sorry to read about your twisted beam. I'm sure you saved me from a similar fate. Thanks again.

Jinman,
My thoughts exactly. I decided to hold off on lubing the beam. It seems to be working fine without. I considered fabing a detachable rack and still may do that. One thing I found is that it doesn't take long for the wood to pile up. I've been arranging it to help handle and direct the flow of the wood. Steel toes make sense too.

It wasn't convenient to back the splitter into its parking spot so I rigged up this low tech FEL setup. Just a couple of 2by6s and a short chain

No problem,I fixed mine up,and braced it but good.My 5" cylinder and 3300+psi is the reason it twisted.....heres the link to my splitter.BTW this thing is so strong it literally sheers most trees up to about a foot around.I used it to take down dead trees last winter,it was way easier the trudging thru the snow with a chainsaw,and safer too.Here is the link to mine

Great looking splitter. Thanks for the pics and info. I will be easier for me to make one after looking at yours.
