Unlike some people, I don't mind how long you take to share your trick because I appreciate the time it takes to put things like this together and I enjoy the relaxed storytelling vibe you always mate. Nice job mate, thanks for the tip. Keep up the good work.
He even gave it a name, like he owns the idea. This guy is a piece of work.
Trolling with Critical spirit of commenting is your main days highlight? His work his choice; get the devil over yourself.@@DivineSublime22
Splitting firewood is the most relaxing actvity one can do. I always enjoy it when the time comes.
it's surprising how true that is
Dear Mr Star. I have never split a log, nor have I owned an axe. I usually dislike videos with "shameless promotion", but that said, I liked how you openly admitted to it. I also found this video extremely therapeutic. Cheers from Ireland and thanks for the video
Thank you Chris.
+Wranglerstar... what do you do if you get a splinter
+Chris C... No... PUT IT INSIDEHER
I feel the same way Chris. Mr Star! You are a Legend.
Frozen green wood splits easier.
Me, knowing full-well I may never split a full round log in my life: "Hmmm. Fascinating."
I prefer the smallest cheapest bungee chords I can find. I'm not worried about quality in this instance. I've chopped through too many nice ones!! :) Especially at the end of the day when you are getting tired from splitting. Also, another tip... After splitting, pick up the the now split log by the chain/bungee instead of unhooking it and then drop it on the floor/ground. It will finish splitting all those little pieces nicely from the impact. Then unhook and stack :)
+offgridnorthwest Even better use a longer length of chain so you have a handle, and when you drop it do so on the woodpile or trailer/pickup bed. That way as you open the log it will be pretty much right where you want it to be on the stack.
The floor will break
I used, and just shared with my son in law, using an old tire to keep the logs together rather than wearing yourself out chasing the pieces that need resplitting. I like your adjustable version.
i saw one time a old timer used a old tire to keep the block of wood together it worked well
That''s the way I was taught to do it as a kid. And yes, it was an old timer who taught me.
This way would be easier than carrying a tire
I prefer the tire. It's faster. Just put the log into the middle of the tire and start chopping. No need to fuss around with a chain and hook. Plus, if you miss and the axe glances off, you'll hit the tire instead of screw up your axe hitting the ground, or worse your own leg.
@@Trashmouth75 Or, as shown at 3m 59s, hitting the chain.
I've never thought of using a chain before, but I have tied a series of knots into a doubled over cord for adjustability, and I use my rattiest old bungees, because I have cut through a few of them doing this.
I remember when I first came across this method a few years ago. It rocked my world! I must of shown it to a dozen people whenever I had the chance. Unfortunately we don't have too many trees I can get that big of rounds off of here on Lopez Island, but I discovered it works just as well to bungy several small rounds simultaneously like you often see people doing with an old tire.
Good videos Cody. Keep them coming. Good fortune.
If you don't have a vice...
Get a vice. Your life just got 50% easier.
so true lol
use a channel lock
+TheLonelyMarksman i cant even remember how i got by before i got a vice
Jack Clare I know, we must have had superhuman strength.
+TheLonelyMarksman great ad-vice
This is definitely a gift that keeps giving! Made my dad one last year. Best back saver he could ask for! Nice video! Don't hold us hostage with those axes to long Wranglerstar lol!
Love that sound. Ive been around firewood piles most of my life. Your videos are cool, because you promote life in the PNW. I've lived in western Washington most all my life, and being a 20th century guy appreciate all you do here on RUclips.
I wish the white oak we have around here split that easy. A chunk that size would definitely need a log splitter. Thanks for sharing.
That's what I use. Much easier on the body...
Where r u from simply man? I’m from southern Louisiana. Any time theirs nots on what I’m splitting it’s hell to split for sure. But it will split.
I can crack and split a big oak one like that with just a splitting maul , it's what I like to do for excersise .
Always gotta chuckle when I see folks who have wood that splits like that. Love to see you try that with the box-elder and elm I have to deal with. I have a 22 ton hydraulic and it's all it can do to get through it.
LOL ! Was thinking the same thing as we used to split about 12 to 15 ' Full cord ' each year . All we used were American made 3.5 lb double bitted axes . You learned how to read the grain real well , and always hit canted so the axle ( not to sharp for splitting ) pops the wood . Like you said some of that elm we'd just roll to the side and wait until it froze before splitting it . My father grew up in the lumber camps in the Adirondacks and was a wizard with an axe . He taught us how to read and split wood without the handpicked blocks and straight grain seen in this video . I get tired thinking about what I used to do all day . . . .LO L ! Thanks for the found memories .
also the wood is dry
Sweet gum
Yea, try splitting some squrily eucalyptus logs, talk about frustration!
Anybody can split Pine with a dull butter knife try red Elm
For a fair comparison of splitting methods you'd have to give the old fashioned way a fair whack. I've never seen anyone reassemble the entire log, take a whack or two that sends all the pieces flying, reassemble the whole log, repeat. When I was a kid my parents were probably the only people in all of NE Portland heating with wood so my brother and I spent a lot of years splitting DF. Of course we could bend over a lot more easily back then.
Just want to say that I've watched a lot of your videos and think they are very entertaining. They make me want to live out on the land and chop firewood! Keep up the good work sir!!
I always love watching your tips and tricks videos, I never fail to learn something!
I took the time to search the song that plays when he splits the wood in half, its called "Like The Dawn by The Oh Hellos" enjoy.
I enjoyed the video. This is a good trick and a bit easier to put together and store than a tire. Also, thank you for the new music. I had never heard of this band but liked the little bit int he middle of the vid, searched them out and am now grooving to the smooth sounds. Cheers
Hi - been watching your channel nearly more than a year - I learn something everytime - I hope you never stop making videos!
Love your vids. I can choose whether to watch all the way through or not. I can fast forward or not. Its up to me. No reason to complain.. No reason for disrespect. I understand how much work you go through to produce the videos and freely share your skills with all of us. Thanks Brother.
Am I the only one who looked at the rings on that chunk thinking "man, that'd make some beautiful boards!"
for smaler diameter you can just use an old tire instead of wrapping it around every time
I'm from Chile, I live in the driest desert in the world and yet I saw several videos, I find great the way I discovered new music, like "the oh hellos", thanks again for creating this content, excellent choice in music and way of recording the scenes
cheers
You waited until I reached seventy years old to show all the tricks that make you the Wrangle Super Star. Great idea! Thanks
I think car/truck tyre is much more practical, i mean you dont have to do anything else than empty and then refill.But in that you need to hook that chain there after splitting the log, also rubber in the tire gives you soft surface to land your axe if u miss the hit or something else goes wrong.
VorssaGaming I
Cheaper and more compact alternative I guess
All I use is tires double up if you have longer logs
What happened to the tire trick?
+Yossi Laz that is my preferred method... wondered how far i'd have to look to see another like mind
+Red Rider7 have never had a bounce that bad... mind you, i use a 10lb maul
+Kalimerakis Who is she?
Kalimerakis Thank you for replying. Is there a video of it happening?
rats arsed wath out mithter
What happened to just having the kids pick up the split wood.
I learn something every time I watch one of your videos! keep up the great work!
Beautifully shot video, helpful too. Just getting into this logging malarkey so all this stuff very helpful. Thank you from England.
Very informative video!
Aloysius to get to rrr w151 21st wwrrrrrrrrr qqq43qqqettewe
5K that's easy. Let's get into that box now!! :)
+COWs of Suffolk Uploading now!!!
+COWs of Suffolk Are you a prophet? I only ask because I haven't yet installed them,
+Wranglerstar I thought I saw you install cabinets with lights in them on a video the other day. I guess those aren't in the kitchen. Haha
+COWs of Suffolk LOL< just kidding. Those cabinets are in the dinning room,
+Wranglerstar I'll be honest, you really had me second guessing myself for a second. lol.
I see you are using one of the basque axes in this video. I actually bought the small basque pruning axe after watching your review on them, and I love it!
Very good. I use a long strap and a come-along and wrap it around 10 or more logs at a time. Works really well.
good reason to be accurate the chain will damage the edge of the axe
thaks a LOT for all your hard work with this channel!
+Ram Skirata nice encouragement! What are some aspects you enjoy?
YES! Chasing the wedges bug me too. Im gonna have to give this a try. I may be too impatient and lazy to take the time to rap each log though.Thanks Cody!
the thing I love about firewood is it warms you 3 times, first when you cut it then when you split it then in the fire.
You forgot when you pile it in the wood shed or the basement and then again when you have to carry it from the wood shed or up the stairs to the stove, Firewood you have to love that nice warm heat it throws or you would definitely be giving it another thought!!Oh yea when you load it on the truck in the bush and then unload it in the yard at home!!!
@@delbovingdon1824 Even gain a few more BTU's when removing the ashes.
@@iffykidmn8170 Yes l forgot that one !!lol If you have ever had anything to do with firewood you know how many times it is handled before you get it into your stove or sold to the customer!! I always said you are just getting paid for your labour and giving the product away or just getting paid for the wood and working for nothing because it is a labour intensive job from cutting the tree down to putting it the wood stove but you just have to love that nice warm heat!!
Super cool trick! Thanks for sharing!
+Scrap wood City very cool trick!
Your video is for the perfect world we don't have the perfect wood to split we don't have that kind of wood and putting a strap around each round of wood is crazy no way
As I read the posts on this page, they tend to go to the extreme in using vulgar language. Is it because each user is anonymous and no one knows exactly who they are or is it that they really don't care anymore about being civil. Is it that other people's opinions do not matter and only their own does? I guess it's that I was brought up by simple country family that were courteous even to those who they did not know. It saddens me that the younger generations use ever more frequently those 4 letter words that in no way adds to an intelligent conversation. I guess it is that "what we learn, we use by default". I just hope that people in future generations get back to the more civil conversations and let each and every person have an opinion without being chastised and cursed at. Thanks for letting me vent.
@mickey7411 -- racist much?
Actually need to to the research people who cuss tend to be more intelligent and honest than those who don't....
@@xXDDKJefferyXx -- links for proof?
Do your own research
@@xXDDKJefferyXx -- tsk, tsk!
I would speculate that you don't actually need compression from the Split-O-Nator (tm Wranglerstar), which would resist the wood fibers splitting towards the lower extremity of the wood, but just enough cinching to prevent chasing the pieces. Nice tip Cody!
I can feel that amazing wood smell while seeing this video...thanks for uploading woods..
A brass or aluminum chain would make it less likely you would ruin your axe with a errant swing.
agile1111 at minute 4.00 he hits the chain.. ;) i prefer the tire or bungee cord methods
I like the quick adjustablity
We always kept 3 different size tires for splitting wood.....
I have a big question. How can you work with all that wooden needles and pieces without wearing a pair of gloves! As a retired Orthopaedic Surgeon, I have worked all my life having in my hands one or two pair of gloves. It is a very good protection for your precious fingers and hands.
Thank you so much for your advices and the inspiration you give me.
Greetings from mount Olympus, Greece.
Mmmmmh! I can smell that wood from here! :-) All the best Rob (in Switzerland)
This 5000 won't take long, see you in an hour.
+ecleveland1 We will see. It's all up to you guys,
+Wranglerstar the total likes went up by 700 in the time it took me to watch the video. we might not 5000 within an hour of upload but it's gonna be really close.
+aerosaaber I'm making the unboxing video now. The writing is on the wall,
+aerosaaber 4379- just a minute after aerosaaber posted...5,000 will hit in the next fifteen minutes...
+Tenspeed TheBikeHanger not views he said thumbs up x 5000
I love the idea but would also recommend the use of para cord with loops in it every inch or so. It would definitely ensure you don't hit the blade on metal. Great video
Kind sir, I would love a crack at the new axe your developing. Wow, that's exciting and im very happy for you getting to design it yourself. Be blessed.
The texture and color of fresh split wood is so pretty. I bet that smelled wonderful
when I was about 11 I actually put a bunch of the USA made bunges together and jumped out of a tree with it hooked to my pants
How did that go
one time only did I......
One time me and my brother were playing tug o war with one of the 4 foot ones and my brother let go and the metal hook hit me in the mouth and knocked out two of my teeth but we were young so they were baby teeth
@@larsberger9343 Did both learn of it?
anybody else notice he was talking about quality us of a made stuff? then he gets a box of axes from Italy?
***** cool story bro. But he's still talking about the quality of US made stuff while getting a box of axes from Italy. couldn't he get somebody in the US to create his design? I mean if the quality of US made stuff is so good?
The Bushwacker though I can confirm them shitty china cords do suck. ha ha.
***** k
axtra92 are you?
***** I don't think you know what all the words you said actually mean.
Yet another useful DIY from Wranglerstar. Thank you Sir. About the tire method; this new method would seem to be a great improvement on a time proven method as the chain allows for easy adjustment for different sized logs.
Brilliant. Can't wait to try it. Besides where I live those logs roll down hill for 100 yards when split.
So he promotes American bungee cords but then orders the axes overseas🤣
Typical capitalist pig
I would say more likely promoting quality.
My dad used an old piece of rope and old inner tubes... doesn't mar the axe handle
Very cool videos. I wish I had a dad like you growing up, teaching stuff etc
Congratulations on your axes! I'm sure that means a lot. Can't wait to see more!
Mate, love to see you try that with Aussie hardwood... 😅 👌
Yeah, too right cob. Like to see him have a go at some Ironbark, or yellow box or snappy gum. Don't worry about pickin up the pieces, just throw a party when one finally splits off.
screw an old tire on you splitting block. Costs less and is no hassle.
Great video Wranglerstar. I have always loved seeing aspects of American ingenuity on you're channel.
I get scouts to tie logs before using an axe to split for this very process. Be good to try this now. Always recommend keeping them together as it makes transport a lot easier as well. 😃
"future videos in the future" i'm dieng
Why am I watching this... I have homework and exams tomorrow
I don't even cut down trees or am near ones I can cut down
Why
But your learn g something useful
Cause you long to move to the countryside, something calls you, nature calls, I've gotta go pee
@@jrmike375 I didnt learn anything useful unless you mean how to waste time
because its cool
Welcome to the club!
You just made that look way to easy Cody! You going to have to patent that term split-o-nator. The next sham wow commercial..LOL
When that box was placed down, the thud was euphorically satisfying. Prologue of the hardiness of the tool to be unwrapped.
Any downside to splitting with gloves on?
+EverythingIsPhysics Yes, gloves give you sissy hands.
+Wranglerstar haha well played
+Wranglerstar not if it is cold and the gloves has no padding I use gloves all the time and I am only 13 cutting down trees and splitting wood
Always makes me feel bad to see good lumber logs cut up for firewood.
Lumber? Usually firewood isn't the choicest wood. Hard wood, yes; but not worthy of lumber.
KC how do u expect to keep warm
@@user-xd5zi3kt4s (s)he heats with coal.
I have never see any type of wood tougher to split then Cottonwood. But I bought 40 years ago a splitter that fit onto the Hub of the rear wheel of my little truck. It worked awesome
Try sweet gum
Great little contraption! I use a tire sometimes but I like this better. Plus I love that axe. I like when you use it I think it's just gorgeous.
Why buy a bungee cord when you can adopt.
More children. More firewood production.
3:59 gg thats why i dont use those.
Nice! Can you talk about splitting implements? How sharp things should be etc? I don't think I have ever done it with a properly sharp implement. You make it look so easy!
Great idea, perfect Video. MANY THANKS. Just continue like that, videos like yours make RUclips valuable and likable.
I wonder why go with a foreign company?
I doubt you can get a high quality hand made axe at a large production quantity from an American company.
+Jerrod Planck Don't know about that. He answered my question in the unboxing video.
+Estremera Perhaps, the first/only one to offer?
+Estremera By Murican the next job you save just might be your own.
+Carl Smith So says the American who can't correctly spell the word "BUY". No wonder 'Muricans have lost so many manufacturing jobs.
Why not try a real splitting maul? An eight to ten pound maul splits through wood much easier than a three pound axe head. They require less effort to use as well, because the weight of the tool works to your advantage. Lastly, a splitting maul like I am describing does not need to be super sharp, and actually work better when they are not sharp. Therefore, an accidental strike on your chain would not affect the performance as much as it would with the smaller, sharper axe head. Great video!
I think it all just boils down to preference in the end lol
The point is you don't have to keep picking up the pieces of wood, just get them all at once duh
Watch the man’s channel, he knows how to split firewood and has mauls lmao. Idk that I’d say a proper maul takes less effort to use, but it also depends on the wood you’re splitting.
Smart idea. My old man when teaching me to split wood put an old tire around the log to keep the pieces in place as I split the wood. Your way gives you adjustability for different diameters.
Like the thinking with the split-thingy, have found with our firewood that is smaller the damn stuff catapults all over the place, so a smaller one could help. Looking forward to the unboxing!!!
wow nice DRY wood! very dry
+Douglas Newman --Try that splitting Hickory with knots.
+yopagedotcom You mean instead of naughty pine? who heats with pine?
people use pine because that is what is available. its not like they have a forest of hardwood trees. You burn what you have available. ;>)
+Douglas Newman And when I awoke I was alone
This bird had flown
So I lit a fire
Isn't it good Norwegian wood?
+Jon A but it burns really fast. and it's not really well seasoned, it burns dirty. but on the upside it is very plentiful
Wood
By golly,it is better !
Great time-saver.
Thanks for sharing a good idea!
Lol, neat little trick. I have split wood for a long time for my parents and now for my family, as well. I run a landscaping company and my guys love this trick. We use an old ratchet strap. It works amazing. We have a log splitter, but some of my guys still love this hand method. They love to race and can usually beat the guys using a machine, using this method
That Looks like more work then it is just to spit the wood
That wood is drier than a popcorn fart!
very nice idea, I use to love to split firewood before my back went bad. Thanks great video! :-)
3:08 - 4:22 song: Like The Dawn by The Oh Hello's. beautiful song! thank you Wranglerstar
I was just scrolling thru to see if I could find the title of that beautiful song. Thank you!
Touts "American made" bungee cords, plugs Italian made axes...
I think he was more touting "Don't buy cheap crap"
He is saying "anything is better than made in China"
basically "touts first world made"/"touts non-third world made"
The guy is playing with straight, pine come back when he's talking about twisty hard wood.
he doesn't heat with wood; that is certain.
I like the style of your spliting axe. What type of axe is this? I wanna buy one of this or let forge one. It's a beauty.
So nice, saving up that nice satisfying hand separating till the end with several pieces.
one of the stupidest videos i have seen in quite a while
+George M yes it is stupidest
+George M yup, pine is junk and why not use a maul?
Who splits pine??? Rookie
If its anything like Sweet Gum here in MS, IT CANT BE SPLIT BY YOUR AVERAGE MAN!
Right!!!.....how about cedar, pinion, oak, mesqete....?
I like how you call it the onator instead of inator so Perry doesn't come destroy it.
wranglerstar hear is a tip...when you attach a hook to a chain always face the hook to the closest thing in that area(up or down) but in your case try facing the hook outwards it will get a better grip on the chain and less of a chance of it falling off.
By the time you wrap that I could have split the log twice. Ridiculous.
internet expert has spoken
He's prolly right. I left you very specific, very accurate critiques on another video. Ignored.
Wranglerstar they are all Internet experts lol. your videos and this comment here have earned you a subscriber. thanks sir
Carl Newman But Wranglerstar is a expert?
LOOOOOOOOL
Why is that exactly?
Looks like someone totally missed the point of doing this.
One of those useless inventions. You solved the problem that doesn't even exist.
Growing With God I do, but I prefer the old fashioned way, you know, like it has been done for thousands of years. You take the wood and you chop it. It is a great exercise and this "chain-invention" is an equivalent of working out on a Leg Extension Machine while eating a burger. It's a joke, and it's made for lazy people.
I laughed when he started putting pieces back up to split them further. Every time he'd hit one it would just knock the other ones back off. He just needed to put them up one at a time. And the pieces he cut with the chain wrapped around it looked worse! Pointless.
I gotta agree, putting more than one piece on the block at a time is quite pointless. The axe or maul is only ever going to hit one piece squarely and split nicely. The rest of the wood just falls over and makes more work for you to stand it back up.
If you insist upon having your chopping block full for unfathomable reasons, then use an old tire to hold all the wood. You won't ruin the edge of your axe or maul when you hit the rubber. And you'll be able to stuff the tire with smaller pieces instead of having to start with complete rounds.
so you like to break your back? .....
phuck ewe *facepalm*
Much of the wood I burn is split using my log splitter, but there are times when hauling it out to split a half dozen pieces just doesn't make sense. I was sort of surprised how well this contraption works and it saves my back from all the bending over....
Splitting wood by hand is also great exercise!
This is what I like; simple but very effective.
Good to know. I live in the city but just cut much of my first public land firewood permit. Largest round is 14" but when it is time to split, a small bungee and some chain I have already to protect from barber chair when felling will do the trick. 😊
I've done a bunch of the stuff u have vlogged about , thanks for these ideas , how about a giveaway , I'd love a new axe
I've been told a rimless tire works well in a pinch! great video!
Thank you for your idea and the comments. This winter we may need wood more.
Great and informative Video. love the simplistic solution . i will definitely be doing this
+patrick jaroch have you tried it yet?
