Harbor Freight dual direction splitter

If you get a piece stuck on the wedge, put a piece of wood on the other side, next to wedge and run the wedge back.

You are correct. I was not thinking too clearly in my above post. I actually meant to say stationary wedge.

It has arrived. Some assembly required.

Got it put together and did a bit of splitting. Running at half throttle, it takes 7-8 seconds to travel from one side to the other.
Put it in the shop and started the first phase of modifications. Target- ergonomics. Raised it up 5-6 inches and widened it 8 inches, modified control lever so it was closer when splitting. Have to reach to use while splitting. Also added holders for axe and pickeroon.
