This Splitter May Be The Answer I Was Looking For! -"From Homemade to EastonMade" AXIS Wood Splitter

[@EastonmadeWoodSplitters]

Great video neil. Really appreciate the support

[@digdrivediy]

What a great machine! Firewood is gonna be fun this year! Thanks for a great opportunity!

[@taterhater2086]

Thanks for supporting Neil!

[@sassafrasvalley1939]

You have a fine line of products… I’ll be perusing by them for my own interests! Thanks

[@claudethomas8084]

Went to your site and there is a conveyor available for this model that's great. Very nice products. Thumbs up.

[@rdcruick]

You should pay someone a bit of money to give your website a facelift. Would be a good investment I think.

[@robperkins2674]

I wouldn't be standing here all hunched over if we had this 40 years ago!! funny stuff

[@gromeca1]

Your dad looks like an amazing guy.

[@digdrivediy]

He is great.

[@johnr5545]

First class all the way great job God bless

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Everyone I’ve seen on KZbin that has these loves them. Congrats Neil!

[@digdrivediy]

Thanks Hank! No doubt I'm gonna love it too!

[@Marine-72]

I am 75 and I still like cutting and splitting firewood for our home. That is a nice machine!

[@erichk1674]

EastonMade is a class act company . Their business model is second to none .

[@digdrivediy]

Yessir! They've been great!

[@alaskanhomestead8925]

seeing the smile on your Dad's face is awesome. Thanks for sharing.

[@Bassmastr-ly5vf]

Good stuff👍🏼I “wood” love to own that.

[@jimoconnor6850]

SO happy for you and your family. Your Dad's reaction and excitement is priceless! Congratulations

[@NSResponder]

So, nearly a quarter million people have seen this video so far. Wembley stadium seats about 90K people. Don't know what it costs Eastonmade to send you a loaner machine for a couple of days, but I'm pretty sure it's less than they'd spend on a national TV ad, and they know that this channel has people who are interested in splitting wood. This is the future of advertising.

[@digdrivediy]

I think you're probably right. This is well catered to the correct audience. Fortunately though I've got to have the splitter on loan for a good while though now. They're going to have a hard time getting it back from me! :) (It's great I mean)

[@MrDewilley]

Smart move by Eastonmade. So happy for you. Best channel on KZbin.

[@digdrivediy]

Ah shucks. Thanks a lot Doug!

[@stevewilliams6354]

These guys are my kind of people reminds me of how this were between my dad and me years ago he’s been gone for 18 years now and still think about him every day take care

[@tee-steel.0158]

That’s awesome. Love that you are able to work with your dad. Blessing to your family

[@tonygough8713]

Great splitter. I like the fact your dad is excited about it. Congratulations. Thanks for the good videos.

[@BG-vq9fd]

The smile on your face says it all. The fact that your Dad is there and the family is watching from the yard is great. Your home always looks well maintained and pristine. My Mom wanted a wood burning fireplace in the house we built here in 1966. Dad said he had cut and split enough wood as a kid that wasn't having one. There was a free standing gas log fireplace.

[@earlyriser8998]

went through the power outage here in texas and swore our next house would have a wood burning stove for heat and the plans show exactly that

[@digdrivediy]

Thanks BG. It was a fun first run and we are all pretty pumped about the opportunity. Thanks for being such a faithful viewer!

[@thejpnjn]

Love the video , love my eastonmade , I got into splitting and burning wood because of my dad as well , now at 40 years old and my dad in his 60 s we are doing 100 cord a year thanks to eastonmade!

[@digdrivediy]

Wow! You're making a lot of wood! Thanks so much for watching.

[@kenriches7403]

Glad to see you have your dad around to help . Thx for the vid. - Ken

[@googleboy7]

I love my Eastonmade 12-22. They make fantastic splitting equipment and Andrew and the folks at Eastonmade are great to work with. Shalom/gw

[@edfeldpausch7169]

Cannot beat the Axis. Enjoy Neil.

[@wendywright6466]

Having used a variety of splitters for the last 35 yrs having a log lifter is the best addition possible. Great looking machine! Enjoy it.

[@digdrivediy]

Thanks!

[@JRS2248]

Wonderful video. Love your Dad, reminds me of my father. We worked together for over 40 years; he was always surprised and elated when I brought a new tool home. We built houses. The whole house from start to finish, we had allot of tools and whenever i brought something home that would save labor or our backs he was deleted. Oh I didn't tell you , he was very cheap. So when I brought it home and spent my own money he was happy. I long for those days now. Enjoy your dad and the spitter. The memories are worth more than you can imagine. God Bless you Both!

[@digdrivediy]

Thanks for sharing that with me John. I hope we will enjoy running this splitter together. Thanks for watching.

[@DrummerZoot]

Wow! Great for you, Neil! Enjoy and have fun.

[@wek3000]

8 minutes of watching de video and went to write this comment, the other video with the big splitter and the big bunch working on it ands then whatching this Axys splitter...wow so satisfying!! but the best was your dad faces when he saw the machine hahahaha Yesssssssssss!!!!!!!!!! Eastonmade Thanks for supporting Neil!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@digdrivediy]

Thanks 👍🏻

[@johnrodriguez7945]

That is a very awesome cutter!!! Whoever designed the machine is brillant.

[@tonieveritt7045]

Morning neil i have one word its a beast of a machine like knife through butter any size it will go through it what a buy well done neil

[@bradklaatu]

Great video! It brought back some very nice memories of my late Dad and I working together on different projects. I miss him.

[@digdrivediy]

Thanks Brad.

[@samsiryani9023]

There’s no better feeling then getting DADS approval, good for you and well deserved sir.

[@Dorchwoods]

Love seeing the old timers inspect the thing like it's a spaceship, great stuff!!

[@rickeyman2215]

You are lucky! Easton has trusted you with one of their best products because you are a class act. I see Hometown and Wood Yard loves Easton made stuff, you will too!

[@digdrivediy]

Wow, thank you!

[@BigFarles]

Very cool. I loved the cheering section.

[@InTheWoodyard]

Very well done Neil, welcome to the EASTONMADE family! You will love it!

[@digdrivediy]

Thanks so much! I can't wait to put some hours on this thing and really put it through it's paces. I think we're all gonna love it for sure. Thanks for watching!

[@rdc008]

.... had to " chuckle " ( at myself ) when you were reminded about your eyewear safety. Seems there was a time I was guilty of forgetfulness, only to be reminded by my kids to do the very same things I preached to them about working smart and safe.

[@bucknut87brutus81]

Love that splitter and you are so right, cutting your own wood for heat is so satisfying. I heated our large house on 5 acres of woods for 33 years, using just a maul. Nothing like it!

[@dpeter6396]

That machine has got it together! Yeah!

[@snoozieq4584]

YAY!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!! 🥳🥳🎉🎉🎊🎊 I'm so happy for you and your dad! NO MORE RENTALS!!! WOO HOO!!!!! Fantastic video! More log splitting. #splittingwoodathome #NOMORERENTALS LOL

[@digdrivediy]

Thanks Susan!

[@travisbehrens8312]

You will really love that Eastonmade splitter.

[@digdrivediy]

Yes sir! Already do!

[@kevinbrayshaw7745]

Congratulations Neil, you and your dad certainly deserve the Axis. Andrew Easton has another great ambassador for his product line. A true “win-win” for all involved. Take care

[@digdrivediy]

Thank you Kevin!

[@Oklahoman-in6ph]

EastonMade has to be the best out there. Buckin Billy Ray owns one too, And I'm sure your aware of some of the attachments you can get for that. I sure proud you got it "I only wish you got it 40 years ago" Gotta love it...

[@digdrivediy]

Thanks Mowerman! I'm looking forward to seeing how it all plays out. Thanks for the continued support of the channel!

[@paulspisak5312]

My back feels better just watching!!

[@InlogixEnterprises]

I enjoy the love that you put into this video. Great job. You have a great voice filled with integrity.

[@RealCanadanMan]

seeing the smile on your fathers face was a priceless moment, even I had a little moment and hes not even my dad hahaha. what a great purchase man, that thing is gonna chew through it like no other.. Hope you love it, you deserve it... I also love the little girl who did the hardcore parkour, such a great scene from the office hahaha

[@digdrivediy]

Haha! Thanks so much for the kind words. I love it! When people comment on the parkour comment. I thought it was hilarious that she did that on her own.

[@Sellarmusic]

I've followed Andrew and his splitter business for some time. He's about as genuine and customer oriented as you will ever find. Good to see you found each other. You can't go wrong working with Eastonmade because the products are solid and Andrew will make sure you're happy. You are a lucky man to have your Dad right by your side to share the new splitter! Made me smile.

[@digdrivediy]

You are certainly right about Andrew. It has been a pleasure so far and I think it will work well for both of us. I hope I can get some views on these splitter vids! Thanks so much as always!

[@philliphall5198]

That is extremely beautiful machine Love it 😍 They are the leaders in top equipment that will last several lifetime

[@kennethfriedrichsen7079]

I bought a 5-11 from Andrew back when he was still working out of his garage. Its still working great. Quality product from a quality company and person. Good luck.

[@digdrivediy]

He has been a great guy to work with!

[@Geoff_G]

Great firewood videos! 👍👍 My job and location no longer have me processing firewood. I had a system that worked for me back where I used to live. I had a wood shed attached to the house that held 5 cords, which was one year's worth. Both wood stoves had pass-through wood boxes close to that shed. Each of those pass-throughs held enough wood for two days, and each had a small box on top of them accessed only from outside with enough wood for two more days. At the mid point of my yard, I had a walk through cordwood shed that held 5 cords on each side of the aisle. Behind that, I had log racks that held enough logs, cut into 8 foot lengths, to make 10 more cords of firewood. By the log racks, I had my own x-frame log horses that would hold one log and had preset spots to use a chainsaw to cut the logs into rounds. The rounds were hand loaded onto a 16-ton splitter with a four-way head. I used canvas tarps to be able to collect the sawdust, which I sold, and was able to cover my bar-oil costs. So my heating costs were the gas for the saw and splitter, the gas for my truck to go out in the woods to where I was legally allowed to cut wood, and of course my own labour. I always had five years of wood on hand at the start of any winter. There's a great satisfaction to being self-sufficient and cutting your own wood.

[@digdrivediy]

That sounds like a great system!

[@daddygoat]

That splitter is awesome!

[@daleval2182]

Im up in years ,Dad is right we may not been limping as hard if we had more modern machinery, but built that from a scrap machine and got stuff done, i admire him and please wish him my best, from sunny warm Canada 😂

[@CairnCreek]

Best video EVER! So happy for you Neil.

[@digdrivediy]

Hey thanks Jeremy!

[@OgleBilly]

That’s sweet Neil! Thanks to Andrew for sending these out to folks in need!

[@WatchWesWork]

That thing is awesome!

[@digdrivediy]

You got that right 👍🏻 Thanks Wes!

[@bally1213]

So lucky to have your dad and a lovely family. Just started watching your videos, really enjoying them.

[@dabprod]

Congrats on such a great family. The wood splitter ain't bad either.

[@drewm2249]

Your back will thank you!! Great video as always.

[@allanwells4886]

I'm 70 and have been splitting Aussie hardwood since 1980 by hand ie with an axe/maul . I've only ever split wood for my own needs (about 10cubic metres per winter). Neil you must be 'loaded' with all the toys you have. I saw an Easton made splitter demonstrated by Buckin Billy a few years ago and was suitable impressed. Great! They sound like lovely kids by the way; treasure them while you have them and 'stuff the wood splitter'!

[@digdrivediy]

Thanks a lot Allan! I am not loaded by any means because I spend too much money on toys! 😉

[@chrisyangtze8403]

Great job Neill nothing like making honest days of living... you have great Dad and family...Merry Christmas ⛄🎄🎄 winter is coming up...

[@rodivis1226]

This is freakin awesome put a tear in my eye. We wanna see more of pops dude - for sure...

[@AK-uy1vm]

Fantastic Neil we loved the video. Thanks so much for adding the pics! Glad you get to check out the Easton made. I've been eying them. I watch Andrew's videos. :)

[@digdrivediy]

Thanks so much for the pics! I'm excited about getting to use this thing!

[@mikkei3532]

i recently bought a brand new branch chopper called " Rebak Niebieski W102" Made in Poland - powered by PTO of my 30hp 1973 Ursus C330 Tractor . This machine is superb - it is New (cost about 1100 US $) and can chop a dry hard wood like oak to 9cm diameter or 12cm (5inch ) wet wood branches like pine. It really save my precious time

[@tjw4947]

Dad is a Hoot! Great video again.

[@claycarrie7787]

Great job Neil! 👏

[@dpyles9396]

That is a BEAST!!!

[@Steve_Wojo]

Dad & Son in wood splitter heaven ! Awesome video Neil.

[@digdrivediy]

Thanks 👍

[@mikeboyd2337]

Thanks for another great video Neil splitter looks awesome looking forward to next weeks video

[@richarddicktaylor219]

Thanks mate it looks like an excellent machine (the back saving being an added bonus).

[@joesjunkgarage]

Fantastic machine! Really enjoyed watching you and your Dad work the splitter together!

[@digdrivediy]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@blackdogexcavator21]

Holy Snikey!!!! I love your Dad's response and his enthusiasm. That is a really nice wood splitter. Congratulations Neil, you deserve it.

[@digdrivediy]

Thanks so much BD. We can't wait to spend some more time on it. I need to improve my work flow here and then we'll dive into that pile!

[@watkinstreefarm6880]

Congratulations!! Those are nice splitters & you will enjoy it. Looking forward to more videos.

[@digdrivediy]

Thanks Jeff!

[@terryrogers1025]

All I can say is “SWEET”. Nice processor, I think they have found the solution to home/ small industry fire wood. Thanks for the ride along sir.

[@digdrivediy]

Sure thing Terry!

[@kerbsidebob1]

Nice bit if kit Neil. I will be watching this with interest.

[@PurpleCollarLife]

Andrew is great to work with. Enjoy that Axis!

[@digdrivediy]

Thanks Chad! Andrew is a great guy. I sure hope to.

[@philliphall5198]

You Sir are so very very blessed to be working with your father ❤ Just don’t get any better 😊

[@earlyriser8998]

great video and thanks to Eastonmade for the trial

[@dannydunnagan3267]

Great video I know your dad liked it wish I had it when I was cutting wood back in the day I do like your Dads ford tractor we had 2 of those when we were growing up.

[@gravelr512]

Awesome. Congratulations!

[@bryans5339]

I rented a splitter last week and the wedge stopped 3 inches before it got thru the round. I was splitting hard maple and I had to pull it apart the rest of the way. I’m convinced those eastonmades are the best of the best. Firewood is somewhat of a novelty in Alabama. Not many people burn it in the house anymore and there are very few people with outdoor boilers.

[@MannistoCay]

Love the dad's reactions, firewood is still a family affair. Warm winter ahead. 🪵👍🚜🌴🍁🔥

[@SkidderKev]

I love the work height of the axis and they are quick. Your dad's reaction was great!

[@digdrivediy]

Thanks a lot Kev! I enjoyed your live stream that night with GP and Andrew. Thanks for checking out my channel.

[@austinbond1348]

So awesome to be able to see memories of my youth splitting firewood in your video Neil! Thanks again for reaching out to us. Keep up the great videos!

[@digdrivediy]

Thank you so much for sending in your photos!

[@Mikidy303]

I love it! At 6:27 your dad uses an expression from the movie Tommy Boy. I thought I was the only one who used this expression. And that splitter is great but it's still a lot of work! But then that's what we like about wood. The only improvement I can see is some hearing protection.

[@digdrivediy]

I had to rewatch that but you're right. I can see that expression! :) My wife reminded me on the hearing protection too! Good call!

[@someonewhocares5712]

Nice machine thanks for sharing 😊😊😊😊

[@bigjim5723]

i used wood and coal to heat my home for yrs till we built our house in 02-03, then with with oil-fired hot water heat. i have spent $3-grand a winter for fuel oil -if my knee hadn't gave out on me in 2001, i wanted to put in a outdoor furnace back then. them are nice splitters for sure, i wood have to agree with ur dad--where was they 40 yrs ago-ha! the nice thing is to get the wood up to the table, without lifting a place to work level, just a all around nice machine-IMO. back when i was working for a LTL trucking outfit, when a splitter came across the dock, we hauled Wolf's back then, man i would just stand and admire them machines great video-thanks.

[@digdrivediy]

Thanks for sharing Him and thanks for watching!

[@jimmorrisy7881]

I’ve seen their splitters before and really like the design. Not having to bend over or lift the rounds manually is great. Good luck with it. Great video and enjoy your personality.

[@digdrivediy]

Thank you Jim.

[@FromSteelToWood]

I think Eastonmade has the best splitters on the market, by far. And this model is just perfect for your needs!

[@marksieber4626]

I’ve owned an 036 since the 90’s. Good machine.

[@commoncents456]

What a wonderful family. Your smile says it all I can see all the hard work has paid off. A beautiful peice of property. I wouldn't know what to do if I wasn't bending over and in pain. 🤣🙃

[@scottperine8027]

Now I want a wood splitter for Christmas 🎄🎄🎄

[@davidaronson9475]

Love the gratuitus drone shots

[@donaldshields2483]

Work very nice like you said it you don’t have to pick up the heavy wood very easy to turn and split it twice very nice very nice God bless

[@bluegrallis]

Love "Dad's" reaction and Approval. My Dad would approve also I'm sure. We did a LOT of lifting to the splitter over about 30 years of heating with wood.

[@paulfisher7911]

great video and easton made products are awsome and sure looks like the product speaks fro itself

[@bobbruce3925]

Awesome, TY Andrew !!!

[@JohnSmith-ki2eq]

Good looking machine.

[@andenketola4894]

Really enjoy the video the wood splitter is awesome

[@kevinallen8072]

Congratulations nice looking machine. Enjoyed video.

[@digdrivediy]

Thanks 👍

[@chadbinette3201]

That's nice, no bending over , no logs falling over on your toes after they split. Wish I would of seen this setup.before buying my new splitter, it works great but it's the regular style, it does flip up vertically or horizontally but it's too.low.

[@tylers7390]

I'm just getting started with a wood stove, cleaning up around the farm site and splitting with a splitting axe. It started out fun, but I didn't think I'd be burning as much as I am; it's just satisfying to light that fire! Anyway, the manual splitting work has made me realize just how necessary a good hydraulic splitter will be. Thanks for the background and for sharing your insights!

[@jimmycurran5355]

Awesome splitter. Enjoyed the video

[@Andyrob323]

Really enjoyed seeing your dad’s reaction to the machine, and his reaction to how you got it. See you next time!

[@digdrivediy]

It was fun to see him find out!

[@jamesshonk565]

Nice splitter. Real back saver.
