I built one using a long pneumatic cylinder - tried using a jack but found
it hard to get enough speed and momentum to the wedge to make it effective
in splitting the log. The whole project turned out to be a lot more
expensive and difficult than first thought although it does work well -
runs off a 20 cfm compressor.

Steve, I would like to hear what you think of the electric chain saw and log
splitter when your evaluation is done.
I have an old 14-inch, 110-volt AC chain saw. It doesn't get much work,
but I'm
always pleased with it when I do use it. Not for professional
lumberjacks, but
quite adequate for yardwork.
I'm thinking about building a log splitter, probably based on a motor and
screw
jack rather than hydraulics, but I have not done enough investigation yet
to be
sure which way to go. Spent about six hours near a gas-powered unit a
couple of
weekends ago - really want to avoid doing that again.
