Be Excellent To Each Other

Speaking of orange.

What is it, Bik?

It might possibly be a log splitter, those two triangle things on top look splitty to me. If not that, I'm gonna guess it's just one small section of Bik's wildly over-powered coffee grinder.

It’s the colour you get when you mix yellow and red.

It's a North American Veeblefetzer.

Squirt is right that it's a log splitter, a 7 ton electric one. The "blade at each end" thing is one of Forest Master's gimmicks, DuoBlade they call it. The weaker models only have one blade.

What does 7 ton refer to, the crush weight? Because that sounds like a lot.

Super. Do you cut your own trees to split? I really like your shoe storage, too.

Alright Chuckles.

One of the YouTuber's I watch has recently moved house to the country, his wife has used the opportunity to set up her own channel where she does some diy chores doing up the house and grounds.

The latest one was her using a log splitter, similar to the one purchased here, whilst her husband uses an axe:

I don't think they do the 8ton version anymore but yes, same company!

I opted for the "don't need to bend down as much" stand obviously. I'm in it for back saving, which is why I'm not relying on my hatchet, axe, saw horse and 3.5ton upright gravity splitter!

They also haven't fitted the EU legally-required work bench and guard. Tut tut

However they also don't know about the return lock - you do your longest log first, and set a stop so it doesn't go all the way back to fully open every time. Saves a bunch of that running about to try and beat the mechanism.

Theoretically at least. They do a 22 ton version that can do 1.5m logs and has a lifter. I could not justify that 8+ times as much money!

I'll pass that on to Helen, it's her that finds these things to stop me piling things on the floor

Some trees I do myself or fall over, proper ones we pay a tree surgeon to trim or fell. Being just below the crest of a hill we need to keep/rotate trees to stop our garden ending up in next door's garden...

These were published while the Second World War was still underway, and cost me a whopping £4 for the pair.

Been down the ol' chazzaroo getting some new tunes.
