I would've used the boys' axe, though the Gransfors is also excellent at making kindling. Still -- a little more weight is a speed advantage if you have the strength to keep it straight. A giant maul, not so much (not for kindling), but a boys' axe rocks, for me. Young Jackyboy will beef up quick, wrestling. He'll be whipping the boys' axe around like a hatchet soon enough!

Wrestling in my opinion, is one of the greatest sports for developing the youth as individual. Both mentally and physically demanding it really challenges you. Keep working jack and remember the only person responsible for your success is yourself. If you cheat to make the practice/workouts easier, you’re only cheating yourself. That’s a life lesson that’s stayed with me since I was in jacks age. Thanks for the great content, keep it up!

I am close to pulling the trigger on that auger. I believe it ships with an adapter for SDS roto hammers, which I think would just romp right through any conifer wood. It would also be a much longer (and, yes, heavier) tool, so you could stand on the raw wood as you drive the auger into it. No crouching that way, and you'd keep your support hand on the drill instead of exposing it to the auger bit.

a tip for Jack to make cutting kindling easier. put the blade of the ax on the block where you want the cut then lift the block with the other hand and smack it down. this will sink the blade in and you won't have to worry about the wood falling over. a trick my grandpa taught me. a couple of times will have it where you can lift the ax and the wood stay on the blade or you can just cut it through that way.

My kindling axe is a sager double bit cruising axe. I choke up all the way and usually use knot free larch. I can split a box full in just a few minutes. Definitely won't be switching to a drill. It just doesn't seem right but for newbies that want to save their fingers it might be a good way to go.
