Hi, I've just purchased a Bamford EV4 which purrs like a kitten, it's quite therapeutic listening to rhythmic whap...whap...whap of the exhaust. I plan to put the engine to work as a log splitter. The plan is to hook up a 'wood screw' no idea what will work best, but be sure I'll be asking questions about pulleys & belts very soon.

Hi John and welcome. Has the same idea for my Petter A1 but without welding tackle (or skills) the project has stalled. Sad

Hi Paul, I think it's possible to do this without welding. I purchased a wood screw from ebay last night, it comes with 2 sizes of V pulley, I now just need to get a V pulley onto the stationary engine.

Building a bench to fit the screw can be done in wood. To be honest the stationary engine needs a new trolley so once I have all the components and checked the principle works, I'll design and build a trolley which will work for me and the log splitting, I'm not sure if this will be one unit or two keeping the splitting separate from the engine Question
