UNIVERSAL JOINT TROUBLE
I don’t know about you, but when you suddenly realise that you have done or not done something, you get this horrible feeling that it’s going to cost you money!
Recently, I was about to use our log splitter on some big rounds of an old ash tree that had been felled into a pond. It was mine if I could remove it from the pond before the autumn rain filled the pond again. The splitter in question is a home-built screw type made from a kit found on the internet. The beauty of this type of splitter is the fact that if the grain of the log is all gnarly and twisted, the threaded cone will get in and tease the fibres apart, whereas a hydraulic splitter may struggle.
