Kindling Cracker Wood Splitter for Firewood

[@Nighthawkinlight]

Very clever. I think I'll make something similar for myself.

[@TheMetalist]

Nice 👍💪

[@AnimalLover-xv9md]

The Metalist it's brilliant! I hope you've patented it 👍

[@danholtbk7008]

Very clever in that he picks a piece of wood with a huge knot in it to demonstrate the hatchet.

[@OrchMC]

This is great! Both the idea and the fact that people want to make it for themselves insteaf of asking you to sell it to them as a product. Self sufficiency is on the rise and I LOVE ITTT

[@TheMetalist]

Thank you 😁

[@NOVAKAIN-wb1cs]

This wuld work great 4 me now that my sons moved out of the house i can do this myself ...without them having 2 worry about me splitting the wood. Thaank u soo much💙💙

[@TheMetalist]

Awesome 💪😁

[@The4thDensity]

This needs to be put into production now!

[@TheMetalist]

I will ... sooner or later 😃

[@dreamsteam8272]

It is allready.... in Germany you get one for 30 € by "Manufactum" also a version to mount on the wall

[@rottiejakeluke]

@@dreamsteam8272 can you please send me a link for where to purchase in Germany? Thanks

[@civildiscourse2000]

​@@rottiejakelukeYou can get one from Lee Valley Tools in Canada or the US. There are lots of Chinese vendors if you don't mind trading delivery time for a halving of the cost.

[@Libslayer]

Bravo to your ingenuity! After breaking one of my hearthstone bricks while using an axe to split wood I thought of a similar design - but never carried it forward. Nicely done!

[@TheMetalist]

Nice .... Thank you 😊

[@onebackzach]

That's a wonderful solution for elderly or disabled people. I know that a hatchet is probably a better solution for able-bodied people, but for those with issues relating to coordination or joint pain, this would be far easier and safer.

[@jaydenheidtmann7811]

Im able bodie and just spent $100 on a new hatchet wish i seen this video before id have just made one of these

[@markchidester6239]

Looks like it would be great for anyone. Really speed up the job making more time for other chores. I'd still start the kids off with an axe so they learn the meaning of work

[@Turin-Fett]

I skinned the top of my thumb off doing this with a hatchet. Definitely a good solution. Though, drinking less whiskey helps too.

[@nathandively8524]

duuude. i would totally buy one of these

[@TheMetalist]

Nice, Thanks 😊

[@johnhhh3591]

Very cool. If Grandma were to have the grandkids around, I'd suggest you might design a locking mechanism of some sort. Maybe one that would cover the blade when not in use, like in the garage. Kids might just root through the stuff, and an exposed and fixed blade isn't something they'd be on the lookout for... But wonderful invention!

[@av8orCH-47]

I'd be sure to lock all the kitchen cabnets with anything sharp, too. And make sure the kids are wrapped up tight with bubble wrap before they leave the house...and make sure they have their helmets on to walk down the street. Or.....just tell your kids not to touch stuff. But you do you.

[@fordmanfisher]

Very cool. Thanks for sharing this. Keep up the great vids!

[@TheMetalist]

Thanks 😊

[@jtaylor8606]

Does it work on thicker bits - so starting with a chunk of 2*4 or similar and gradually cutting that down to kindling size? All the vids I can find of this design show it working well cutting thin bits of plank, but usually I'm starting with timber that's bigger, and it's not clear if this would be up to the job. Also, the example where the axe didn't work was when it came up against a knot. Does this work with timber with knots in?

[@mijit.859]

Well done ! 👍🏻

nice. do you have to requench the file knife to harden it again so it stays sharp?

[@The_Bearded_Lady]

@@TheMetalist I like how it has more curve and more step levels to aid in the cutting. The one I bought only has I think 4 steps and it is more like a diagonal line so can slip at times and just not as good with a variety of size
