“Sliding Wedge” Log Splitter
“I don’t know how new this idea is. Someone else may have also come up with the idea. All we know is that it really works well,” says Roger Wilcox, North Waterboro, Maine.
  He attached a big splitting wedge to an arm that slides up and down on a steel post. The chunk of wood to be split stands on the base and you lower the wedge over the top of it, hitting it with a heavy sledge. You don’t have to hold the log and the wood doesn’t have to have a square end since the weight of the wedge holds any shape wood. It gives you a lot more splitting force and you can split longer chunks without worrying about them tipping over.
