Interesting design BF. Thanks. Wouldn't you still need to lift or at least control the height of the roller as you advance the log, to correct for knots and variances in the diameter?
Neat idea for adjusting the wedge height. Im planning on only using a single wedge to get the size blocks I want. I find the multi split ones usually create too much kindling. A six inch block only needs split once, say a 10 inch one is too small for a 4 way but too big for one split. About 12 inch blocks work great with a four way but bigger ones need more splitting. The loads I get vary from 4 to 24 inch diameter so I'll just wrestle them back and forth trough a conventional splitter to get what I want.

Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
