Love that sound. Ive been around firewood piles most of my life. Your videos are cool, because you promote life in the PNW. I've lived in western Washington most all my life, and being a 20th century guy appreciate all you do here on KZread.

I prefer the smallest cheapest bungee chords I can find. I'm not worried about quality in this instance. I've chopped through too many nice ones!! :) Especially at the end of the day when you are getting tired from splitting. Also, another tip... After splitting, pick up the the now split log by the chain/bungee instead of unhooking it and then drop it on the floor/ground. It will finish splitting all those little pieces nicely from the impact. Then unhook and stack :)

+offgridnorthwest Even better use a longer length of chain so you have a handle, and when you drop it do so on the woodpile or trailer/pickup bed. That way as you open the log it will be pretty much right where you want it to be on the stack.

I used, and just shared with my son in law, using an old tire to keep the logs together rather than wearing yourself out chasing the pieces that need resplitting. I like your adjustable version.

I've never thought of using a chain before, but I have tied a series of knots into a doubled over cord for adjustability, and I use my rattiest old bungees, because I have cut through a few of them doing this. I remember when I first came across this method a few years ago. It rocked my world! I must of shown it to a dozen people whenever I had the chance. Unfortunately we don't have too many trees I can get that big of rounds off of here on Lopez Island, but I discovered it works just as well to bungy several small rounds simultaneously like you often see people doing with an old tire. Good videos Cody. Keep them coming. Good fortune.

Dear Mr Star. I have never split a log, nor have I owned an axe. I usually dislike videos with "shameless promotion", but that said, I liked how you openly admitted to it. I also found this video extremely therapeutic. Cheers from Ireland and thanks for the video

LOL ! Was thinking the same thing as we used to split about 12 to 15 ' Full cord ' each year . All we used were American made 3.5 lb double bitted axes . You learned how to read the grain real well , and always hit canted so the axle ( not to sharp for splitting ) pops the wood . Like you said some of that elm we'd just roll to the side and wait until it froze before splitting it . My father grew up in the lumber camps in the Adirondacks and was a wizard with an axe . He taught us how to read and split wood without the handpicked blocks and straight grain seen in this video . I get tired thinking about what I used to do all day . . . .LO L !

For a fair comparison of splitting methods you'd have to give the old fashioned way a fair whack. I've never seen anyone reassemble the entire log, take a whack or two that sends all the pieces flying, reassemble the whole log, repeat. When I was a kid my parents were probably the only people in all of NE Portland heating with wood so my brother and I spent a lot of years splitting DF. Of course we could bend over a lot more easily back then.

I enjoyed the video. This is a good trick and a bit easier to put together and store than a tire. Also, thank you for the new music. I had never heard of this band but liked the little bit int he middle of the vid, searched them out and am now grooving to the smooth sounds. Cheers

I think car/truck tyre is much more practical, i mean you dont have to do anything else than empty and then refill.But in that you need to hook that chain there after splitting the log, also rubber in the tire gives you soft surface to land your axe if u miss the hit or something else goes wrong.

Yet another useful DIY from Wranglerstar. Thank you Sir. About the tire method; this new method would seem to be a great improvement on a time proven method as the chain allows for easy adjustment for different sized logs.

As I read the posts on this page, they tend to go to the extreme in using vulgar language. Is it because each user is anonymous and no one knows exactly who they are or is it that they really don't care anymore about being civil. Is it that other people's opinions do not matter and only their own does? I guess it's that I was brought up by simple country family that were courteous even to those who they did not know. It saddens me that the younger generations use ever more frequently those 4 letter words that in no way adds to an intelligent conversation. I guess it is that "what we learn, we use by default". I just hope that people in future generations get back to the more civil conversations and let each and every person have an opinion without being chastised and cursed at. Thanks for letting me vent.

So nice, saving up that nice satisfying hand separating till the end with several pieces.

To the people commenting that the "tire method" is better, understand that this bungee/chain retainer has two main advantages over the tire: 1) It is MUCH more portable. Can be easily tossed into your gear bag or toolbox and carried to any jobsite. Who wants to haul around an old tire? 2) It is ADJUSTABLE, and accommodates a much wider range of log diameters while still offering retention. The tire is more suited to folks that have consistent sized logs and do the vast majority of their work in one location.

Why not try a real splitting maul? An eight to ten pound maul splits through wood much easier than a three pound axe head. They require less effort to use as well, because the weight of the tool works to your advantage. Lastly, a splitting maul like I am describing does not need to be super sharp, and actually work better when they are not sharp. Therefore, an accidental strike on your chain would not affect the performance as much as it would with the smaller, sharper axe head. Great video!

@dlwatib

I gotta agree, putting more than one piece on the block at a time is quite pointless. The axe or maul is only ever going to hit one piece squarely and split nicely. The rest of the wood just falls over and makes more work for you to stand it back up. If you insist upon having your chopping block full for unfathomable reasons, then use an old tire to hold all the wood. You won't ruin the edge of your axe or maul when you hit the rubber. And you'll be able to stuff the tire with smaller pieces instead of having to start with complete rounds.
