    That brings out early teens memories. In the mid 70's, I helped my Dad splitting ash and elm with wedges and sledge hammers. Mind you, we did it when the weather was in the low minuses. Eventually, everything cracked after a few swings but, those logs fought us until they were, in "distinct' pieces. I don't miss those miserable times, with the "old mentor" but, I miss him. I raise my cup of coffee and offer a toast, to hard working Men.

    When I'm off the mark a little splitting with an axe, in my head I can hear, "you got to hit it in the same place!" Angry but true words of wisdom from my dad, gone 5 years now.

    Good morning Chris, be careful of those lines, flying off the wedge, I have an axis, and I was splitting some rock Maple couple months ago, and it exploded off the wedge from my axis Spliter end it hit the end of my thumb and I tore the tendon and just recently had it surgically repaired. So the end of the story is try to read your wood while splitting it can get you end of story.

    Was thinking about cycle-time the other day. With auto-cycle, my splitter is 6.5sec. Plenty quick for me. It allows me to work at a pace that I can handle all day. To me that's more important that having the fastest splitter out there. I settle into a groove and can rest maybe a second or half-second each cycle when the rounds are close.

(Troy Built/Craftsman) but with the tractor bucket to help lift, i can use it as a table too, i normally throw them all back into the bucket and then take it to the pile. i might have to try and find some sheet metal and angle iron and fabricate one? it was fun watching you wrestle with the ugly fugly. when you get those, its almost like a geometry or physics puzzle......where do i put the wedge....lol. thanks for sharing this one because i was beginning to think all you guys ever got was pretty wood.....it all burns. looking forward to you building the bin.

    Great video, that was some nasty wood. Here in West Virginia I have a lot of elm on my property that I cut and split and it is by far my least favorite wood to split. Locust, cherry are a welcome relief from elm splitting. I saw that piece jump at the first of the video and plan on showing it to my 16 year old son, he helps me split a lot and has recently started wanting to run the splitter so we had a lot of talks about safety and paying attention to each piece you split and what to watch for. Maybe you could do a segment in an upcoming video about the steps you take when splitting and what to watch out for so that the new to wood splitting people can benefit from it. Thanks for Great videos.

    Hi Chris, that single wedge and your expertise at reading the grain did a great job of turning those ugly crotches into sellable wood. I saw that you throw some of the big pieces on the ground after initially splitting a huge round. Have you considered buying/building a small table, the same height as the splitter, to expand your working surface? Would help reducing the amount of bending over, plus reduce the congestion when splitting those big boys.

    Some Aussie Turpentine would be good to see. (I was cutting some and it broke the tips off a new CTC blade on my skilsaw! I was cutting it to half length so I could split it (by an axe/splitter) as the grain is plaited like a McDonalds girls hair.

    that is pretty impressive, some of them are tough splitting and it handles them easily. i cut a lot of bigger wood but it would be easy to make a table the height of the splitter and set the big rounds on with my skid steer. i might have to take tony up on his offer to show me his splitter and if i asked real nice maybe i could see yours also and spend some time doing the best job i ever had.

    Very straight , somewhat uniform diameter logs are harvested from managed Forrest's. They bring them on great big trucks. After being limbed. Tree service wood is taken from yards, wind rows and parks, Where they get little to no attention for 20 years or forty years or longer. 16 different species grow 8 different ways.

Never bin (haha) there because I have my own firewood pile! Be prepared for thousands of firewood lovin' tourists!! And maybe a half dozen cat lovers!! Give them a paid tour, butt don't show them your cracked ash, you'll run them off for sure!! Keep the old firewood chucker motto in mind: "Charlie, Yankee, Alpha"! That's NATO for chuckers all over the world. It means Cover Your Ash! Especially if it's huge, or cracked, or rotten and stinky! I try to do a good turn EVERY day, so today, you're IT!!

    I don't like big, flat, shingle looking pieces. They seem to smother the fire in my wood stove . I try to stand them up sideways but I would prefer they were cut in half. Since I split most of my own wood, I don't get many. I have a friend that helps sometimes and I call him the shingle maker. I love ash, most of ours in Ohio is so far gone, it is no longer worth cutting into firewood. Last year I burned a lot of ash and may get a little this year. Mostly going to have hickory. 29 trees went down in a spring icestorm, uprooted.

Can't remem the author's last name, but his first name was Kenny. He supposedly lives in N. Wisconsin, of all places!! I heard he agonized over writing the book, took off work for almost 2 DAYS to write it!! He's most likely just a big layabout!! But he does have a way with words!! Esp the German word for workin', gefahrt. I think that's one of Chris' favorite words too! Seems he's always fahrtin' in his vids!! He's always sayin' how he likes to be outside. May be a good reason. Like, he's not allowed to fahrt or gefahrten inside!!
