Great educational video, Dan. If anybody is thinking of buying a box wedge machine, this is the video to watch. You actually did look like a scientist with your matching blue hoodie and blue safety glasses.

[@toddpacheco4748]

Great comparison Dan nice 👍 that Don gave you his tip for changing out the wedges 😮😊❤

[@ronbrooks6681]

Yes Dan, I am impressed by Both Wedges. The Seven way is excellent if you want more for Bundle Wood. The Slash that comes off of the Split wood is excellent to start your Fires and keep them going.

If the weather out your way is gonna be the same as here you'll want to just be inside anyway...haha....but hope the time goes by quick and you can be back at it.

[@EastonmadeWoodSplitters]

Great comparison dan

[@tonywoods3197]

Hi Dan Great Demonstration I think the 7 Way Wedge on the 37 D Probably would give you more Peaces for your Bundle Wood Supply However you do get Quality Peaces from the 5 Wedge for your 37 D Thicker Not Much Waist So for 20 Peaces vs 33 I would Say it All Depends on how you want to Sell or have your Firewood 👍

[@claytonblunt]

Thank you for the comparison. I’ve wanted to know if I could use the 5 way for bulk “fireplace” wood and for heating wood. Didn’t want to spend the money for both. I think the 5 way is my choice. Thanks Dan!

[@lyleharkness-rv5vf]

Cool tip from Scheib 👍 Good video

[@dantabler9301]

Eastonmade Box Wedge Pushing round pegs through square holes 😂😂😂😂😂 Great video as always

[@outdoorsinthe608]

Great comparison Shifty!👍👍

[@TonyR-k7f5q]

Great tutorial Dan just answered a lot of questions iam sure

[@DanielAtkinsFirewood]

That was an interesting comparison.

[@billobermeyer660]

Thank goodness I can now stop wondering what the difference is between the 5 and 7 way wedges😅 I really enjoyed the scientific tote you used to collect the wood🤣

[@brianellis4964]

I noticed that all the blades on both cutters look blunt, and are tearing the blocks apart instead of cutting them.

[@hayesrutherford9415]

Good video, Andrew has one on this but not as "scientific" . This should help folks decide what is best for their needs. I will "make do" with tall 4-way, regular 6-way, and 7-way box wedges. No plans for selling bundle wood but feel like it would be possible with the regular 7 way.

[@jimdomoradzki3309]

How's your Aspen?

[@kevinmason3086]

What would the results be with the Wolf ridge with the 4 way?

[@EverythingElliott]

Can you do this same video with the pizza wedge? Would be nice to see all 3 box wedges compared...

[@Back40Firewood]

I would, but don't have the pizza wedge...I'm guessing it would be close to the standard 7 way depending on the wood going through.

[@Tonnsfabrication]

I run the 5 way for home heating, it makes some nice firewood. The seven way is good for bundle wood looks like.

[@Back40Firewood]

I prefer the 5 way as well.

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

I may need to add a box wedge machine to my arsenal one day to make my collection complete.

[@Back40Firewood]

Once you go box wedge, you won't go back! lol But having the pull back arm bring the bigger rounds back for re-splitting is a huge advantage.

[@brianpendleton6674]

Do you sharpen your box wedges or are they the factory edge?

[@Back40Firewood]

I have not sharpened them yet.

[@Python_Bob]

I don't mean any offense to anyone with this post. But I really don't understand why some people are so worried about the slash. I consider the slash created by the higher number splitting wedges as a byproduct of the speed of those wedges. In both business and hobby, speed is paramount as the faster you can get a job done, the more work that you can get accomplished. It isn't really that many more pieces lost to the slash, and the slash can be used in your personal fire pit. Just my opinion though. 😀

[@Back40Firewood]

Yeah I don't mind the slash either when looked at to your point the time and effort a box wedge saves you.

[@waynetharp]

I am already planning to protest outside if this scientific study does not recieve both the Nobel Prize and Albert Einstein World Awards of Science in 2024!!🏅🏆🥇

[@Python_Bob]

🤣🤣

[@Frankzeien]

I also noticed that the 7 way was splitting easier then the 5 way.

[@jimbo5056]

19/32 LMAO Excellent comparison Dan.👍

[@circlebmn]

May really be a horse a piece but I think the 7 way set a bit taller would make nice size camp and bundle wood. The 37D really does crank it out. 🔥

[@Back40Firewood]

Yep I should've lifted it up a bit more, but was only for 1 round...lol

[@justinauman5438]

Good video comparing the two but miss Amanda will be mad you used the laundry baskets lol

[@fricknjeep]

hi there good fun show . not going to stop by FNL don't want to have to take a test. best to all john

[@davidedwards3734]

The seven way makes splitting faster!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day

[@williamellis8993]

Interesting experiment, Dan. I'm not sure what it all means, though. Bill

[@aaronjackson5862]

What is the difference between a pizza wedge and a regular wedge?

[@Tonnsfabrication]

I think the pizza is about 1/2" smaller between knives than the 7 or close to that?

[@ltld141]

Ummm size of the wood once it’s sent through???? Seems like a no brainer answer 😂

[@WoodysRTBFirewood]

Hey shifty, after putting all the slash in your laundry basket, I hope you don’t end up with some slivers in your underwear, that “wood”be a real pain in the ass. Cheers Woody !!!

[@Back40Firewood]

LOL...nope, those baskets are for outside/woodyard use only.

[@jbbrown7907]

End result: The five way need resplitting. The seven way is the way to go is the one for your bundle wood.

[@trimco-mn8hh]

I wonder which pile would burn longer when seasoned 🤔🍻🍻😂

[@OneEyeCustoms]

Any chance you’ve had a 3 way? 5 and 7 way just seam awkward 😂

[@hardworkingmanoutdoors]

It does seem a bit excessive lol.

[@Back40Firewood]

No comment.

[@jbbrown7907]

The 7 way make the correct size for splitting poplar.

[@jbbrown7907]

I wouldn't call the fine chips "waste" The chips are very marketable.

[@logandgarden1942]

The big question is your wife going to make you buy new laundry baskets?

[@williamellis8993]

I was wondering the same thing. She may make him do the laundry, too.

[@jimbo5056]

19/32 LMAO Excellent comparison Dan.👍

[@Back40Firewood]

Hahaha...those baskets are for outside/woodyard use so no worries.

[@jbbrown7907]

I see the five_way makes four splits. The seven must make six splits. You dont count the original block, that is not a usable split yet.

[@Back40Firewood]

The top split might not be a usable split, but it is still a spit.

[@FireStartersPremiumFirewood]

Why so serious? 🤣😂🤣

[@BGWenterprises]

Is that the regular 7 way. Or the so called pizza 7 way. ????

[@Back40Firewood]

The 'pizza' wedge is a 7 way, but the distance between the wedges is smaller.

[@BGWenterprises]

@Back40Firewood OK it's the regular 7 way. There's just no reference to which it is in the video, Thank you.

[@jbbrown7907]

The five way splits need to be resplit to be ideal size.

[@jameshardy2481]

The wedges did not cut on the top of the wedge, making them a 4 and 6 wedge.

[@Back40Firewood]

Nope, the top is considered a split when pushed through.

[@jbbrown7907]

I would call the two, a six way and a four-way.

[@amandadavis9726]

I said that same thing months ago. It’s confusing for those who are new to the business.

[@tassiehandyman3090]

0:08 - I must say, Shifty, that's a pretty niche question there, brother... but, you know, you do you...😂🪓🇦🇺👍

[@genethompson1027]

That pile of split wood looks like a big ass mess

[@noelstractors-firewood57]

Neat example. Poplar or popular wood. Is not to popular. But easy to split. Makes good kindling, if you can get it dried out. 👋👋👍🏻👍🏻🪵🪓🔥
