Two guesses what this is?

 You got it an industrial wood splitter, you should see this thing chomp. It has jumped a few times with some of that iron wood that is terribly twisted and doesn't want to give. Starting up the rig is no problem pretty simple like your lawn mower but you have to pay attention. The gear is sloppy and you want to push the shift in the opposite direction from where you want to have the split action. So far so good Ben still has all 10 fingers. He has only jumped a few times... the pile to be cut is getting smaller, it is the large pieces that we have left for tomorrow.Two and a half hours in and the same for tomorrow. I have so many things on the go I want to make sure I stay on track according to plan- Mine not Ben's
