Log Splitter

Don't make the tapered part too wide Dave. The wedge on mine might be 3/8 plate with the wings made out of 1/4. It spreads to 4 inch wide at the back. The thought was it would open the block up quicker and not need to run the block as far into it before it broke in two. Sort of works, but on really hard to split wood the leading wedge will cut in (like a sharp axe) then mine sometimes runs out  ump, leaving the block stuck on the leading edge.
