Is the wedge still removable? What did you do to strengthen it? or did you just sharpen it?

Thank YOU Dave! I re-read the whole thread and quite enjoyed it (especially the many compliments).
So with winter weary spirits buoyed, I bid you all a good night.

Just found this thread and it reminded me of the  arch I built for bringing logs to my sawmill. I made it from a bent towtruck boom section, and a trailer axle I found at the junkyard. Nt suitable for cutting firewood as Steve's is, but it sure makes getting logs to the mill easier!

Did you ever make the four way splitter Steve? Im debating whether to use one on the processor, or go with a single wedge and smaller faster cylinder. Its probably a limited number of blocks that would be the right size to split in four. If its say 8 or 10 inches in dia splitting it in four would make kindling. If the blocks are over 12 you'd need to split them in say 6 pieces.
(hope I got all my spelling wright)
Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
