Log Splitter

The last one is better Dave, what you want to do is spread the load down into the web and bottom flange. There is no side load on the ear, so boxing in between the flanges and welding to the web is all that's needed. The picture of my splitter in post 163 shows what I mean. If you were to cut a pocket through the top flange for the ear to sit in then weld around the top and the bottom to the web you'd be over doing it, but it would never come apart
