    I've never seen epal pallets come apart so easily. I've tried this method and every time the heads of the nails pull through the boards or the heads pop off.

    • @TightwadWorkshop
      @TightwadWorkshop 2 дні тому

      I have about a 50% success rate (slightly better when I use the EPAL pallets made with compressed sawdust spacer blocks). Practice helps a bit, but there's still an element of chance in it - I had to record 3 takes to get this video, and even in this one I ended up with some broken firewood pieces.

  • @williamwakely1398
    @williamwakely1398 3 дні тому

    A tip: if you get an old tire and put the logs you're splitting in the center, it'll hold the chunks upright as you split and remove the need for picking up the individual pieces for further splitting. Pack it tight and the natural combination of slight elasticity and steel cords will keep the pieces together... Came across that a while back and it's made the process of chunking through the firewood stack next to the house much easier. There's a certain satisfaction to spending a day logsplitting - the timber keeps you warm three times, once when you cut it, once when you split it, and a third when you finally get around to burning it!

      Thank you Mr Wakely, I'll definitely add that one to my Top Tips List for next time. 👍 I must admit though, I wanted to capture the "split blocks violently flying apart" on my high-speed camera to add a bit of drama and interest to the video. 🙂
