SPLITING WOOD

in #dtube6 years ago


Thought I would practice editing video and share some log splitting we did a few days ago. We are using a 1959 Lickity-Log-Splitter, manufactured by the WACO Aircraft Co. I got it from my father after he retired from the wood cutting work. This thing has gone through some pretty major overhauls throughout the years. My father rebuilt the ram head, i installed a new engine on it about 12 years ago, and most recently I installed new retraction springs and cable.
My father purchased the splitter from Old Man Pappy Fisher after he closed down his local sawmill. They used this splitter for the firewood they needed to fire the steam boiler that operated the entire mill. Rumor is he bought the splitter new back in 1959. Pretty amazing a piece of equipment can last so long, they don't make-um like they used to.

I can't figure out why the snap I take from the video is always blurry? I looks fine on Dtube but always is blurry on steemit?

Well @dtube almost never works for me so I can't watch the video but what I can say to the statement that they don't make them like they used to is that they don't we live in a throw away world...a use it a couple of times then get a new one. Now not everything is like that but with walmart and dollar stores everywhere there is not a lot of quality anymore out there day in and day out.

oddly satisfying. am more a ax man my self but this is way easyer for sure. love bella btw. my Family always had Labradore. but am hoping to get a Bernese Mountain Dog one day for my self just need to move out off the city before a do.
