- Hi guys here’s a wood splitting trick that will help you save time and energy splitting wood. Hope you enjoy this video on splitting wood! Thanks for watching!
💥 That platform is the perfect solution! Great idea Jay!
*Keep on tractoring!*
Thanks Jon!
Morning Jay! That's a clever idea - thanks for sharing. Be well and all the best!
Hey GP! Thanks for coming on over! Appreciate it!
:))
That worked pretty slick Jay.
Sure does!
Made one of these after seeing a previous video of yours. Great idea!
Oh yes! That video is a classic! Figured id re shoot it since I had a small group of followers back then! Thanks for being a long time sub!
Very cool contraption!! Iam the same way holding my knee against the chunk and then trying to split and not pinch my hand or anything!! Stay safe my friend!
Yes this will free your hands and knees for sure! Deff a lot safer too!
Nice job, great to see dad!
Yes he is a staple now on the channel hahah
If you add a sheet of thin stainless steel to the top of your platform the rounds slide so much easier. I'm 73 years old and did this very same thing about 20 years ago.
I like it! I shall look into that if I redo this for sure!
You showed us that before...great idea Jay...I've got mine fabricated and it stays there all the time !
Thanks again

Hey Pat! All my long term subs remember the original video haha thanks for being a long term sub!
Very good, Jay!
Thanks Joe!
I think I've seen that somewhere before Jay...lol great idea
Oh yes all my long term subscribers are flexing their status by commenting saying they have seen it before on the channel! That video was a WHILE ago so thanks for always tuning in!
Nice! that should come with the splitter. Works good
Should have for sure! Thanks for watching!
You said you do it and you did it, it’s better the second time around 🪵. Like I said great idea.
Always enjoy watching the videos ❤️ thanks again from In the woods with the Capone’s 🇨🇦
Thank you guys for tuning in!
Why not save your back and split into 4pcs instead of taking a chance of hurting your back...but that's a good idea for a base though
These are my "slow cooker" rounds like overnight logs. I have plenty of smaller stuff for the day time
I like this, definitely gonna build one before i split wood again!
Yes sir! You need it! Thanks for watching!
thats a good idea .I split alot of rounds that are over 30 inch and usually prop it with a 2x6 but that looks like a solid foot for the log. nice job as usual Jay
Thanks Aaron!
Beauty vid jay. Thought you and your old man was going to have a competition with those cutoffs. Feats of strength
Haha my old man is still a very tough man haha we both shared the workload for sure!
Great idea
Glad you think so! Thanks for watching!
hello jay
that splitter is verry cool for this type of for these logs and again love to see you are working together with your dad again. keep up the good videos
friendly
regards from the netherlands.
Hey Kees! Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching!
I remember this from around the time I found your channel. Lol. Good work Jay, those big rounds look good but wholly smokes are they a pain in wooohooo. 😆
Oh yes all my "senior" subscribers are letting me know which is nice to see! Thanks for sticking along for the ride! Appreciate it!
@@HomesteadJay definitely staying, you do some great videos. I turned 40 in January and I gotta say, I am starting to do things a little different. Lol
Just poking a little fun here...
Jay, I’ve seen this before... in the earlier days of this channel. Lol.
It’s still just as cool though. Thanks for sharing
I was wondering who has been a follower for a while remember the original video! Thanks for being a long time subscriber! Appreciate it!
Nice 💡
Thanks for watching!
The platform is a must.
For sure! I think I will redo it and make it even better!
Genius!
Yes sir! Thanks for watching!
I use a makeshift 3 - 1/2” board setup to set the bucked up logs on. But this idea I like much better! I gotta get one of those log catchers too for countyline 25 ton
The rack and the bottom plate are game changers! Give it a shot and let me know!
@@HomesteadJay I should have ordered that log catcher back in Jan when I bought the countyline 🤦🏻♂️ it was $49.99....now it’s $69.99 🤦🏻♂️
That's a great idea I have been splitting lots of logs and done some that way without the platform
Try it you wont be disappointed!
@@HomesteadJay will do
You made that look easy jay! Love it.
Where did you get your little pick axe? Looks super handy to move them logs around
Hey Josh! its a council tool pickaroon. I got mine on amazon a few years back and whats nice is that a standard 32 inch handle from home depot replaces it! Ive re hung this once because I cut 1/2 through it haha! Its a nice tool and a MUST have!
Great idea for the platform Jay. BTW what kind of pickaroon is that? I recently broke mine and that looks a lot more heavy duty.
Hey AB! Its a council tool pickaroon and you can get on amazon! Replacement handles at homedepot so its a win win! thats why i got it!
I was of the same conclusion as your dad, split the big Leonids into 4, your back will love it. I’ve seen this on several you tube channelsplatforms
Yes Gerry! I do have some smaller split stuff! This was my "slow cooker" supply like nighttime logs!
I did something similar yrs ago, but I hate running the splitter vertical. I'd rather noodle the rounds(cut them from the side)with a chainsaw or just lift them with the loader bucket.
Yeah I dont mind the vertical! Once you get a hand with the pickaroon it goes quite fast! Thanks for watching!
How long would those large half rounds season prior to burning? What would be ideal? Does it vary by species?
I can burn green wood but I like to split the large rounds at least 1x to dry faster then whole round. It takes about a 11 inch round to dry to 20 ish percent in 2 years from what Ive seen but yes it depends on the species! If you have an outdoor wood boiler have a mix of split and no split wood. If you have a good coal bed throw unsplit rounds in and if you dont use the split wood to build the coals!
I think it is amazing Jay that you can handle those Chun ks without gloves. I have dishpan hands anymore. Holding on to a steering wheel doesn't seem to build up callouses. What brand is you hookaroon?
Hey Gary! It’s a council tool pickaroon I got it on Amazon years ago! It’s a solid unit! 32 inch handle I believe. I wouldn’t do firewood without it!
👍💯
Thanks for watching!
Remember that someday your wife may need to load the wood burner for a while. So, having a few weeks (or a month or so) worth of wood split much smaller for her to be able to handle and load into the burner is a smart idea. Be prepared.
I made a platform like yours a few years ago out of plywood and 2x4s it didn’t hold up, I’m probably going to rip some 4x4 pieces that I have to make another. My splitter only has a 2” height on the platform.
On the same thought, maybe paint it a bright
color so it's not mistaken for scrap wood.
Hey Denny! I have a few cords and a smaller branch section for that reason for sure! These beefy rounds are my "overnight" logs and I burn the pine and scrap during the day! Keep in mind all the sawmill cut offs are generally smaller and lighter so God forbid I cant we can still load with lighter stuff!
If you put another layer on your pad the wedge will go past the bottom of log and split easier
Hey John! Then Id have to cut my wood shorter than 24 which isnt a big deal but try to get max length for the boiler!
Very Slick , Instead of Jay should be Jack of all trades , we just opened our pool I’m thinking of adding pool to my boiler , my buddy did it and it works awesome , you should look into it
No lol 6 months of wood heat is enough hahah ive seen the boilers for pools and its cool and all but im all wooded out by 6 months of run time hahah
I like your new video today you and your dad fid a really good jop nice firewood you and your dad good jop love your video buddy
Thanks for watching!
Good night too you guys buddy
In 20 years you'll want to split those big rounds once more.
in less than 20 years ill have a new style gasification boilers and I will need to split everything lol unfortunately
for years I have used a 3 ' rounds to hold in place ,not a SLICK idea but common sense
Thanks for tuning in CJ!
Ive seen that 35 years ago so ain't nothing new to me but good idea
Hey thanks for tuning in Dave! Glad you have saved effort got 35 years!
County line is what people by because they go for the cheapest deal
Indeed! Solid machine. Kohler is a great engine
You have a nicer log splitter then I use and my log splitter is home made
Yes the county line is solid!
@@HomesteadJay yeah and part of my log spreader came off with Pearl harbor
I seen idiots one hand saws and get kick backs
Yes indeed It can happen!
Do you have electrical power where you split wood? If you can I highly recommend replacing the gas motor with an electric motor, no noise that requires ear protectors and considerably cheaper to operate and it starts by a switch instead of yanking on a starter rope. You will need 230 volts to keep it efficient however.
Food for thought
Hey James! Thats not a bad idea but I dont have that power out there and it would be a job and a half to get power down here but if I ever did run power that would be on the list!
Repeated
First
Hey Logan! Have a good weekend!
Pretty obvious solution, though.
Oh yes!
