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 !

 

[WolfTracker]

Gotta love Snicker.

 

[dfarmerknives]

That is quite a woodpile and a cool cheerleader!

Well...there seems to be plenty of target material, but the scenery is a LOT better out on your hikes

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!



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.
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.

Gosh. I use a gasoline powered woodsplitter with a 20 ton piston.

And that is why Bobcats will one day rule the earth 0.o

 

[ratamahatta]

[tobinsmith]

Way cool, that's multi-use!

 

[udtjim]

Good grief, where has that tool been all my life. 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 . 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!
