DIY Log Splitter - tips?

[vmakkers]

So I've decided to attempt to make my own log splitter. I'm planning on doing a design similar to Bud's but with possibly a sliding base to make it easier to push the loaf through. Any suggestions or tips you guys have from making your own? TIA!

I keep trying to get everything together to make one of these.

K. I have access to my dad's shop tomorrow morning. I am going to make one.

Here is a picture of my log splitter. I purchased it, but I think it could be easily made.
