Hey buddy, I have a Fiskers splitting axe for big stuff but for small 1" ish across kindling I find it easier using a knife and batton !
 
Well...there seems to be plenty of target material, but the scenery is a LOT better out on your hikes :D

Pit - we need to work on your measurements! I don't think that LOG above is one inch. ;)

Is this why your wife thinks something VERY different about you than you do! :eek:



With that said - I do to - I good blade is very easy to baton the kindling. You need to teach Maisy to make kindling for you.

About 20 piles like that would get you through a North Dakota winter.:D
Of course it better be inside or you won't see it until June.;)
 
I actually use a wood splitter for mine, but I have a pile of pine that someone gave me and I spend some time every other week to baton some kindling to start fires in my wood furnace. Makes things alot easier for my wife and kids to start fires.
 
Good grief, where has that tool been all my life:eek::eek:. The hours of work that outfit would save,

We have one kind of like that, it's attached behind a tracktor (that gives the power) and it's quite lot bigger :D. It cuts and splits the wood into right sized firewoods. Been piling the logs for all week now, would be still splitting them if I used axe, and would split for the next year if I had to do it with knife. :jerkit:
 
You guys are forgetting the fun factor here. It is simply more fun for Pit to make kindling with his knife.

Take your big toys home! ;)
