I couldn’t be bothered to look up what kindling splitter meant, so i sat through the whole video without a clue what kind of contraption this would become. Now i know and have to say: very nifty!

For me, it's the bouncy hammer on the anvil sound. Makes me happy.

Never seen a kindling splitter before. It does an amazing job!! Wish I had one about fifty years ago.

Once I saw it in operation, my childhood self became extremely jealous. Forget my favourite hatchet, I needed one of these 20 years ago.

I love the finger protection measures! Such clever. As always, a gorgeous fabrication. Thank you for sharing it.

Blacksmithing is like sculpting, it's an art and only those who have an eye for art will see it. Beautiful tool made by artist not just blacksmith.

I suspected this video would get made after the side set tool was made. Very inspiring as always!

Wonderful work, AND great cinematography. My granddad was a blacksmith from 1910 to 1957. But I never got to see him work. Vids like this help me to connect to him.

I always enjoy seeing one of your videos arrive. I've seen similar kindling splitters but nothing as beautiful and stylish as yours. Your blacksmithing channel is my very favorite. This spring I'm hoping to get started on my blacksmithing shop. Thank you for what you do. Many blessings my friend.

My father was a blacksmith and a welder. I watched him make and repair many, many things during my lifetime. I never saw him make a thing like this. I really wish he was alive to see this video. I think he would have tried to make one the next day. Because of my father I know a bit more about blacksmithing than most, and this device is a tool and a work of art too. I don't need kindling, but I still want one one of these devices.

Nice and handy tool, pleasure to watch. Totally Åwesome as always!👍🏻

Beautiful work, as always!

What a beautiful and ingenious tool! The video was such a pleasure to watch, particularly the creation of the rivet/hinge and the metal shavings circling around in the hemispheric depression. I certainly would have liked to have this tool when I was a child. We burned so much wood back then.

Beautiful as always! I loved the ball socket for the mounting screw, and using the ball peen hammer to make it is the struck of genius!!!

Even up to the very end before you put a piece of wood in there i had no idea what you made. Now i get it and i love it! Thanks for the awesome content and a beautiful build. now i see what you intended to use the side set tool for!

This video doesn't just show what the set too was for, but answers a really old question I have had. I saw one of these in an antique shop and had no idea what it was. The shop owner couldn't figure it out either. Now I know what it is, and I think I might add something like this to my offerings when I actually start Smithing in about a month.

Hej Torbjörn! Jag sliter med posttraumatisk stress, så det är mycket ångest, stress, flashbacks och panikångest i min vardag. Men sedan jag fann din kanal och dina videor så har jag hittat något som hjälper mig att roa ned mig när jag får "flashbacks" och tror att jag är tillbaka i de situationer som mitt trauma kommer ifrån. Dina videor lugnar mig och får mig tillbaka till verkligheten. Jag har slitit med att finna något som hjälper mig med att just få mig tillbaka till verkligheten och att roa panikångest attacker, och dina videor har blivit min räddning. *Jag kan inte tacka dig nog.* Jag älskar ditt hantverk, det är 100% min smak - det har lite utav den där Småländska allmoge smide-känslan som jag växte upp runt omkring. Hoppas du ser den här kommentaren, men om inte så har jag i varje fall försökt tacka dig för din hjälp. Jag kan inte sätta ord på hur tacksam jag är över att ha funnit din kanal, men jag börjar med att säga; TACK! MVH Theresa
