That brings out early teens memories. In the mid 70's, I helped my Dad splitting ash and elm with wedges and sledge hammers. Mind you, we did it when the weather was in the low minuses. Eventually, everything cracked after a few swings but, those logs fought us until they were, in "distinct' pieces. I don't miss those miserable times, with the "old mentor" but, I miss him. I raise my cup of coffee and offer a toast, to hard working Men.

Hi Chris, that single wedge and your expertise at reading the grain did a great job of turning those ugly crotches into sellable wood. I saw that you throw some of the big pieces on the ground after initially splitting a huge round. Have you considered buying/building a small table, the same height as the splitter, to expand your working surface? Would help reducing the amount of bending over, plus reduce the congestion when splitting those big boys.

Locust, cherry are a welcome relief from elm splitting. I saw that piece jump at the first of the video and plan on showing it to my 16 year old son, he helps me split a lot and has recently started wanting to run the splitter so we had a lot of talks about safety and paying attention to each piece you split and what to watch for. Maybe you could do a segment in an upcoming video about the steps you take when splitting and what to watch out for so that the new to wood splitting people can benefit from it.

Working on a solid surface can definitely be fatiguing. I will spread out an inch of sawdust or use a soft rubber mat to stand on.

I don't like big, flat, shingle looking pieces. They seem to smother the fire in my wood stove . I try to stand them up sideways but I would prefer they were cut in half. Since I split most of my own wood, I don't get many. I have a friend that helps sometimes and I call him the shingle maker. I love ash, most of ours in Ohio is so far gone, it is no longer worth cutting into firewood. Last year I burned a lot of ash and may get a little this year. Mostly going to have hickory. 29 trees went down in a spring icestorm, uprooted.

Yup, shingles, they dry nice and stack up good in a boiler for a long burn.

I believe in the single wedge, less waste. Just my opinion

I ran the 4-way wedge on my Wolfe ridge splitter and it made minimal waste when splitting hickory. But for nasty knotted stuff, I'll go to the single wedge. Nice part is, takes seconds to go from 4-way to single wedge.

@@thefirewooddoctor so basically, if the wood to split becomes the factor of producing. If the 4 way produces more, that's why the single producing less. Basic production, less means more

@@dwaynedee529 it mostly depends on the wood type you are working with. Knotty wood or nice clean wood. I've stuck knotty 20in oak on my 4-way wedge.

So why do you wait 8 months for a great splitter. Cause it is worth it. To produce more, might mean your are cutting corners. It's only your name It's your life

@dwaynedee529 many Eastonmade models are 12mo or more. Once their latest factory expansion is done, those times should come down. I had to wait 5mo for my Wolfe Ridge.

that is pretty impressive, some of them are tough splitting and it handles them easily. i cut a lot of bigger wood but it would be easy to make a table the height of the splitter and set the big rounds on with my skid steer. i might have to take tony up on his offer to show me his splitter and if i asked real nice maybe i could see yours also and spend some time doing the best job i ever had.

Love it when somebody quotes from "The Great American Novel"!! "It was the best of wood. It was the worst of wood." - "A Tale of Two Villages". Can't remem the author's last name, but his first name was Kenny. He supposedly lives in N. Wisconsin, of all places!! I heard he agonized over writing the book, took off work for almost 2 DAYS to write it!! He's most likely just a big layabout!! But he does have a way with words!! Esp the German word for workin', gefahrt. I think that's one of Chris' favorite words too! Seems he's always fahrtin' in his vids!! He's always sayin' how he likes to be outside. May be a good reason. Like, he's not allowed to fahrt or gefahrten inside!!
