Ways To Split: Split Kwik By Oregon 

Very different but practical in certain situations and def. something a welder could make with spare metal. Thought it was cool, glad I brought it home for the channel. Many thanks for watching Brian, keep cuttin'!

Glad you found it entertaining and useful, Steven. Morning mornin'. Many thanks for watching, keep cuttin'!

Chad, if you can remember any more info on it that'd be awesome. I appreciate the time frame, so 80's you're saying - wow that's pretty old then. And good point on smaller split; so similar the kindling cracker, I could use this for splitting cedar too. Glad I could stir up some good memories for ya buddy. Many thanks for watching, keep cuttin'!

Travis, yes this would be 80-85 era. Back then there were no box store splitters, so the only mechanical splitters were home made. My dad cut a lot of firewood but never big rounds. They would be like 14”-12” and under. Which I believe worked pretty good in getting split in that upright splitter. I also remember him cutting a lot of small branch rounds that did not need to be split. If I think of any more details on the one he had I let you know.👍🪵🪵

So funny, I’ve not seen or heard of one of those since the one we had. I do think about it every now and then. Weird!😂Wood Addict!!

Thank you for sharing such a great memory from your childhood.

Want me to send it to you?

Indeed it is! Keep cuttin'!

Oh nice, do you remember anything more about the tool, curious, and do you remember when they came out? And haha, many thanks. Not too much experience with slinging a sledge/axe, just know there has to be power behind each swing to do anything. Many thanks for watching, keep cuttin'!

I know there's a lot of folks who are 100% pro noodling all the time, but I don't want to run my saws to the ground noodling and noodling and noodling all the time. I think some physical exercise is fine to get those rounds into manageable pieces. What's cool is, as of now, I could take off the wedge, then put a round on the stand, and then slide the wedge back on and go - rather then holding the wedge up as I'm one-handing the round into place. Interesting too. Many thanks for watching Ken, keep cuttin'!

Same here, which is why I jumped on getting it. Interesting tool. Many thanks for watching, keep cuttin'!

You know it, ha! Keep cuttin'!

Interesting, I don't think I've hear that word with that accent, or maybe I have but don't recall. It is an interesting device, we'll see if she comes back on the channel again or not. Many thanks for watching Brandon, keep cuttin'!

No flying wedges w it. 👍

Exactly, the wedge stays upright so you're not fighting with it. Just set it down on the round, and go to town. Many thanks for watching, keep cuttin'!

Good point.

That's a great idea, I may need to try that. Thanks again for watching, keep cuttin'!

我同意。如果您有這樣的產品，請告訴我，我可以在我的頻道上對其進行評論。

Many thanks for the reminder, I appreciate that. I didn't think about that at the time, only ear protection. I'll add a warning to the episode's comments now. I'm all about PPE on the channel, just spaced at the time of filming. Many thanks for watching, keep cuttin'!

Also, you don't have to stand the round back up every time you hit it because it holds it. Works better than one would assume

All good points, Chris. And yes, it will suck when it does get stuck - ha! Many thanks for watching, keep cuttin'!
