The Fastest Way To Make Kindling - A Vertical Log Splitter

  • Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
  • In this video I turn all the undesirable hardwood from my last purchase of firewood logs into usable kindling with my homemade vertical wood splitter. My Kubota B2650 tractor stockpiles all of IBC totes filled with firewood and we get a final count on how many cords of firewood we end up with.

    put a bungee around the piece you're splitting.

      Do you mean to attach it to the tote when it's sitting on top or when I'm cutting the lid with the sawzall?

      @@ForestHogOutdoors if you stretch a bungee around your piece while you're splitting, it holds all the pieces together, less handling.

    I sure like this splitter, im working on building myself one. Doing mostly bundle wood the verticle style is the way to go! Keep up the good work. ~Dave

      It's the only way to go for bundle sized wood. I would like a heavy duty machine for mass production if I ever got into bulk sales.

    The results are closer to logs than to kindling!

    • @ForestHogOutdoors

      The kindling ended up measuring 1"x1". I did cut up some larger squares in the later totes for campfire wood or re splitting at a later time.

    Wrap a bungee cord near bottom that way it stays together while you split...
    Idk if it will work but while watching that popped up in my head..
    Yeah yall Yankees are particularly in yalls wood.. hell I'll knock the termites out of a piece of wood and burn what's left... But down south while your wood is drying bugs ,snakes, mice, scorpions, and all other critters move into it...

      That's a good idea I just don't know if it would be worth the time to continually wrap and unwrap the bungee for ever round. I made due just holding on to each piece. I am not particularly picky with my personal wood, but the wood that I sell I have to make sure looks good for my particular customers. Thanks for watching man.

    If you cut the bark off with 4 cuts you get a square or almost. Then slab the square and multi cut the slabs to the size you want.. save the bark cut offs for your own use

      I think you're on to something here James. Luckily this batch has lasted me some time. I'll try it on the next load. Thanks

    take the cut bundle - hold it together - slide through tube right into a bag - instant patio fire wood ready to sell 🙂

      Petitioning Webster to have skinless boneless added to their dictionary. The only way to describe bundle wood.

      Believe me Brandon, it's never going in there again. Already have a temp wood yard setup put back. Going to do some testing before building something permanent.
