Why yes, of course. They're available even to this day. Nothing like a Hemi-Splitter for the farm.

But seriously...that looks like something that's going to show up on the Darwin Awards.

Way, way back, the Ford model T had the option of removing a rear wheel and putting on a pulley to drive conveyer belts, threshers, water pumps and other farm uses. But we're talking about before lawsuits and using common sense.

That looks like an accident waiting to happen

I can't decide if this guy's brilliant, or an idiot.

yes this was available on the James Bond 007 Aston-Marton. But we where behind the times, the bristish had it and "screwed" us out of it!

I think I can help you out there ...lol

 

[Richard Cranium]

I kept waiting for it to screw into the guy's leg.

Redneck ingenuity. As crazy as that looks it seems to be working but sooner or later someone is going to get hurt bad.

I'm leaning more toward idiot.

 

[themechanic]

Hey, I hired the lowest bidder to get the job done. What can I say?

 

[S.I. Coronet]

Looks really safe

 

[snakeyes]

those things have been around for a long ,they had them for tractor power take offs rear axles cars trucks you name it I think they had some where mounted on generators ,its been awhile since Ive seen them I think I think one company was called stickler

 

[Lowhound]

I am from Alabamer & I am in need of a wood spliter at the moment. You gave me a great idea.

 

[red 69 runner]

What an idiot

 

[HT413]

Watching his pant leg or shoe lace get caught up should make for interesting viewing.

 

[kb67mopar]

Its a good idea but terrible execution. To do that safely you need to have a way to start and stop the screw. Best off in like a drill press with a box that the wood sits in to keep it from spinning.

What he is doing will eventually end his life or somebody elses.

 

[Cranky]

Yup, that guy is an idiot for going about it like he is....but you can put every kind of safety device known to man on every kind of tool there is and some idiot will hurt themselves with it anyways. Bad thing about it is we all pay for all the safety devices because of all the idiots that we're trying to protect.

Seeing that brought back a few memories and I think he used about twice as much powder as it really needed lol

A throwback to a time when the wind still ruffled a flag that flew over the land of the free...today that would bring a full tactical response team in most area's.
