I know that some folks may this this is off topic, but splitting firewood is
using a hand tool to "work" wood, right?
Any way, I saw this article today and followed up on it. There are a lot of
puff pieces out there but this is an in depth look at the tool by the folks
who actually invented it. It is very interesting.
I have bought a lot of different splitting mauls and axes over the years and
nothing compares to this thing. What is most inspirational about this is
that it is mostly the work of one guy who worked on it for many years by
himself. Until he eventually got the design right.
If I was dong much wood splitting any more, I would buy one of these in a
heartbeat. It is made in Finland. The Finish word for the axe translate
roughly into "leveraxe". There are a bunch of articles and pictures of this
leveraxe on the web.

You might try using the bucket to do the stacking. Load the pieces
perpendicular to the bucket, go to your stack and put the farthest end
where you want it. Tip the bucket down (and adjust the height if needed),
and when things start to slide back away.

Much prefer an existing design called a valve.
Use one to start and stop the cooking stove as well
as another to control gas log for the fireplace.
Significantly reduces the air pollution.
Takes up less space.
Don't have to step outside to get firewood.
Don't have to be concerned about the termites or other
bugs found in stacked cord wood.
Don't have access to natural gas, install an LPG
tank in the back accessible from the street so it
can be filled from the LPG truck.
Need exercise?
That's why the Nifty Past Fifty gym exists. (Or the

Good place to meet others with similar needs.
90 minutes, three days a week, works for me.

It's a nice night out there. I think I'm going to grab some marshmallows

You will be hard pressed to find a place in SoCal that permits
open burning except at the beach in an approved fire ring and during
periods of "Red Flag warning" AKA: high fire danger even that
is not permitted.
In the rest of CA, extreme drought conditions for several years in a
row and have placed the rest of the state on alert.
Some of this is in urban areas, but much of it is in more rural areas.
Take your choice, SMOG or fire, open burning is not a biggie in
CA anymore.
Mulch sounds like a winner but I have a question.
How will you sterilize the mulch so you eliminate the possible
spread of bugs (termites, etc)?

I still use my Monster Maul from the 80s. I remember the ad: "No need to be a strong man." Which is true if you split for less than 10 minutes.

I'm with you, I've refined it to carring the log to the splitter with
the excavator, cutting the rounds and stacking them near the splitter.
Pick a good round to put my padded cushion on and start splitting. I
put the loader bucket right next to the splitter so I can put the
split wood right in. Unfortunately I haven't found anything that will
stack the wood for me yet.

Again, I think it's one of those ... really don't need it tools. I think
my axe, and splitting wedge do pretty good. I split a lot of small stuff
too. So I can't see it being useful.

I still split firewood, now and then. That ax, I think, would get heavy fo=

Sorry Lew I don't live in Califorina, or a city don't care for the
life you prefer. Your welcome to do what's you like, but it's not for
me. I enjoy physical labor even if I can't do what I used to. The
county put a tax on the wood that I used to haul to the recyler, so
screw them I have an 8" chipper on order and I'll see if I can sell

Dunno about that. I grew up with wood heat and still use it at home
(mostly ornamentally) and at my cabin in the mountains (only heat available).
Of the various tasks of getting a getting a load of firewood set for the
winter, splitting it by hand is the most enjoyable part for me. Way more fun
than running the chain saw. You just need to mentally transfer your
frustrations into the log you are whacking. I'm a much more pleasant person
after splitting a cord of wood.
I'm dubious of this tool though. The video shows it making short work
of a knot-free, strait grained piece of what looks like cedar. With
wood like that, I could probably split it with a hoe. The demonstration
also shows the firewood being split by chipping off chords of the circle.
I'd be curious about how it would do splitting log say a foot accross evenly
into two pieces.

It may be a cool toy, but I liked the one somebody posted a few weeks back
where they just split the log a little at a time using a lever driven

Here's another one for your perusal:
http://www2.fiskars.com/Gardening-and-Yard-Care/Products/Axes-and-Striking-Tools/X27-Super-Splitting-Axe-36#.U147G6JBzTg
I have a Timber Wolf gas wood splitter and it never complains.....
And it is fun to use.
I know, I live in the woods, use wood heat, and have been splitting wood by
hand.....
I finally broke the bank and bought a decent wood splitter. Canada made,
Vermont.....

I think I missed that one. As a wood burner for heat, I'm not into
splitting little pieces. They burn too fast and do not give off enough
heat. I guess it's all about what you're after. I can see where small
pieces could be very attractive in a wood stove or a fireplace, for pure
asthetic purposes.

Who cares Lew? It's CA. Just because you guys out there fall prey to every
stupid idea that comes along from some equally stupid idiot, does not mean
that said idea has any value. It's a CA problem. Sorry you choose to live

No - the rest of the world does not have to take a choice based on numerous

I think it has some merit. But ultimately it's a gimick.

Current 35 year old woodshed was built before the equipment so wasn't
designed to let the loader bucket thru the door but your idea will be
incorporated into the design of the next woodshed which will be
necessary soon.
I sell firewood too, but have found for me I prefer just selling logs
where I load them in the dump t and deliver. Most of what I've taken
down is hemlock and selling them to the mill just isn't very
profitable at current prices.
