A bit larger than it looked originally, very nice! Those rods that connect to it, are they just supporting the weight? I always assumed that similar rods on other splitters may actually have been to keep the splitter from trying to lift up. I'm trying to wrap my head around what forces are actually at play on a splitter like that.


I'm guessing both. They're more or less stabilizing rods to keep the splitter steady and from tearing off. The guy who build it knows what he's doing, it's a solid piece.

Do you recognize the rusty brown patina on the hood?
