[bump] Ran across this design from a few years back

Kinda pricey, I might try to make one similar

Built it, works OK and sliding the big sledge head helps with bigger pieces
Axe on a pivot is faster; swat it with small sledge if needed

I have a 10 ton version similar to this
works well but is a workout. I have split oak knots with it but look out for flying pieces when they pop.
