Nice job, and I'm happy when any of my welds look that good. LOL
As for the log splitter, I have a couple of tips; take them (or leave them) for what they're worth.
I would suggest cutting 1-1/2" or 2" off the end of the "foot".
Then.....weld some support on each side to give it more strength.
I speak from experience...........I bought a real heavy log splitter I-beam with what appeared to be a very strong "foot".
This was a commercially built unit.
When I bought it, the foot was bent back about an inch.
I had one heck of a time bringing it back but after I did, I welded 2" X 3/4" pieces to each side of the foot for additional support. It hardly interferes at all with the setting of the foot on the ground.
I have come to the conclusion that because firewood logs are rarely ever perfectly flat, there is sometimes undue pressure placed at the end of the foot. A longer foot only adds to the problem.
