That looks pretty neat to me.  Of course, you use much more firewood than I do.  My little stack will take me through the Winter.

leather gloves....standard equipment...keeps mashed digets attached

No, just sometimes leaves them easier to find and haul to the ER with you if the glove fingers are not cut off as well.  My father tried that a couple of years ago, except without the gloves, I believe.

If you wouldn't mind taking another picture, I would be interested in seeing how they attached the cylinder to the I-beam.

Here it is.  The cylinder is actually attached like an old "Civil War" cannon.  A large lug on each side.  As I previously said, it is not solidly attached.  The cylinder can be lifted an inch or so.  The ram is, of course, bolted to the wedge which is "captured" around the top of the I beam.



I hope that this makes sense.

The free movement of the back of the cylinder prevents it from binding.
