I was cleaning out me shop over the holidays and found this . I forgot i even had it . I was wondering if anyone can figure out what it is .

My dad and grand dad both made one in the late 70's

let the guessing begin !

I have seen one before, but never in action. I understand it screw in and splits the wood. But how do you keep the wood from spinning?

I've seen these before too and I have to admit that it looks like one of the more dangerous methods I've seen. Right up there with the fast spinning giant wheel with a splitting head welded on that you jam a log under and hope it splits. I prefer my slow hydraulic log splitter.

If you read the comments below on youtube, when the big log stalled it the other tire started to spin on the ground. Good way to drive through your house, lol.
