I was looking at this thread about camping:

there was a post with a video about redneck camping, so after I watched that I watched some more redneck videos until I found this one, which is a machine that is both genius & dangerous at the same time. Looks like it would be easy to make, as it's just a big driven wheel with a metal bit sticking out to split logs. Looks very efficient as well, so I thought I would share:

Seen this one before, its the same kind of thing as the one you posted but the wheel is bigger.

I saw one with a big Axe head welded onto it.... You then just pick up a login your hands and feed it to the thing.... H&S would have a fit.
