There are log splitter plans on the internet you can pick up for a decent price. However you may find buying one online may not be to much more expensive when your all done building one.

first you need a stump: about knee high. Then you need a sharpening stone and an axe. The simplest things are usually the best. The finest log splitter I have ever seen used a forklift to lift the tree trunk, a chainsaw, on a hydraulic actuator, cut off a section at 18 inches - dropping it into a lower carriage. Then a hydraulic compressor pressed the 18 inch section through a sharp wedge on the end of the carriage. This device runs through a hundred cords an hour, and you never leave the seat of the forklift.
