I'm a kiwi & the story of this was the young lady who designed this wanted her family to be able to split firewood - kids in particular - the original version was rough and ready but worked great. This would be a great gift for family with kids / older people / people with issues with vision. Most NZ firewood / fireplaces are around a foot - note that there is a larger version of this splitter 😎👍 chur

Kindling doesn't have to be just as long as the firewood. I always cut several half-length rounds from logs specifically to split into kindling. It requires noticeably less force to split the shorter pieces. A screw or nail driven through a 1-foot 1x2 makes a very safe way to stabilize the target board for splitting. Put the screw at one end of the board and give it a slight tap with the hatchet. I've heard it called a "chicken stick" but I call it a "safe-split kindling stick." No more nervous fingers. : )

The splitter doesnt need to be taller. Notice the hole in the base of the splitter. That allows the user to cut a hole in the bottom of whatever surface you anchor the splitter to. Then fit it the underside of the anchor with an adjustible receptacle beneath the opening. That way you can cut longer pieces and still have easy access to them to further split them down. Edit nevermind seems you noticed that on your own later in the vid lol

"as a prof. homeowner i'm not akin to thinking things out". That line there got an audible laugh out of me that's very funny

Here's a thing about New Zealand. No-one ever told them they were too small to be important on the world stage. So they just go on being awesome and making excellence. I say this as an Ozzie. So many things from Australia that made us famous are actually Kiwi. Phar Lap the racehorse. Tim Finn from Crowded House/Fleetwood Mac. Russell Crowe. Sam Neill. Taiko Waititi never had to get to Australia for a pay day, because he's totally brilliant. Our trans Tasman rivalry is a thing between us, but we seem to share it pretty well. We rag on their accent like crazy, much the same way as the South Park guys do about Canadians.

Here is a shortcut for removing a splinter/sliver. Especially with kids. Have someone hold a pair of binoculars backwards where the eye piece is against the splinter. This will enlarge the splinter around 50-100 times larger and be much easier to see then looking through the big end, you can more safely remove it. So tiny lens to splinter and look through the big lens to magnify it. Have fun!

Just got one of these things yesterday - Canadian Tire version called Kabin. Screwed it to my stump this morning. Tried it out. Works great. Especially like that it can do narrow diameter pieces.

What was funny is that you got the splinter a second after you commented about safety. Laughing with you not at you. Very comical. Been there many times myself. That is a nice design and does appear to be well made. I'm looking to DIY one similar to that. Thanks

A 14-minute blooper reel :) I'm sure you've noticed by now the smaller pieces weren't splitting because they were falling between the fins and not being forced apart.

From the U.K. here... I’ve been watching with horror what’s happening in America today, so thank you Cody for putting a smile on my face.

Watching in horror? I'm right next door to them and I find it highly entertaining. What a joke that country is lol

That log splitting drill bit is still the best I have used so far. I mean if you have room for a strong cordless drill in the field, but that drill bit splits wood with amazing ease. Heck, id say even better than those hydraulic presses they use to make kindling at this arborist company that sells the trees they chop down as firewood here in town.

Little late now, but a scissor jack between the log and base ring is probably the easiest way to force a log back up and out. 11:36 Classic. "It's safe...ouch!"

I was trying to send you a psychic messages to the past telling you it was not gonna fit😂. Happy to see you have a sense of humor about happy little accidents.
