Yahh..., Something along those lines. But it would have to be a vertical log splitter. Still have to design a screen basket that won't split under the pressure. I suppose I could go to the museum and ask if I can rent one of Guttenberg's first screw presses. After all, he's not using it

If I am not mistaken, the glass lined statement was another advertising agency con-job. Glass lined was referring to the thin layer of fiberglass insulation wrapped around a steel tank. They never ever said glass lined tank, although most customers were missled to believe that was what was
