I've found some 20mm thick steel so I'll use 20mm thick. Should be fine (I hope)

Here is a pic of some of the steel I found.
The piece on the right is 25mm thick that was the off cut from the piece I can't find.  The other two pieces are 20mm thick. DaveH

I wish you lived a lot closer to me Dave. I've got a few pieces of 1 inch sitting here.
 But then again, you probably wouldn't WANT to live any closer to me.  ![[Image: P4020165.jpg]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v82/Highpwr/Temp/P4020165.jpg)

Thanks Willie,
on the contrary I wouldn't mind living close to you  Not a lot of snow is there? DaveH

And that was only about half of what folks in the North East have had to endure lately. Yeah, you would be bored to tears here, not having the need to run the worlds most expensive log splitter 24/7.

This is how I envisaged the log splitter when assembled
It seems a bit low to me 24" (620mm) from the ground to the top of the cylinder  Most log splitters (to me) seem on the low side, I realize the higher it is from the ground the higher one has to lift the logs. However "bending over it" all the time is also not very appealing Any thoughts, comments DaveH |
