Great video Doug and Autumn. The 28C is a great splitter… I own one! My Eastonmade 22-28 with box wedge has spoiled me with the pull back arm on the box wedge! Two great companies with great products and service.
Autumn did a super job with the wood splitter. That machine has a lot of nice built in features. Again, wonderful job Autumn. I know Doug is honored to have his best friend by his side.
My father taught me at an very young age, safer to split wood with smaller end facing splitting device & much faster if using axe/sledge & wedges or maul. With a splitter i found this to be much safer for operator & minute damage to splitter.
We put a 1 1/2" pipe on a splitting maul (18 LB) to split all of our firewood. That was back when I was 32 yr old. Later on I built a outside boiler that took 3' logs that didn't take splitting, that was after the boys went into the Army...
Nice play on words! Love a good dad joke. Doesn't it make you cry a little on the inside when you split black walnut? Ha. Autumn works harder than your neighbor...😅
Hi Doug. I agree with others who are cautioning about hand placement anywhere near the wedges, piston or the round being split. About 30 years ago, a neighbour and his buddies organized a splitting bee. I don't know how it happened, but one man had an accident, and his hand was sheared off by the splitter. Be careful with these machines. I know it is difficult to tell your wife what to do, but eye and ear protection are very important. Injries can happen in the blink of an eye. I know several people who worked around equipment. As they aged, their ability to hear was greatly impaired.
Love it. My wife comes out and helps me sometimes as well. She loves the exercise. It's a lot of lifting and trips back and forth for stacking. The extra person makes the job go quicker. I love the help and the company. Great video!
One could build a 18’ wide 12’ tall kiln along the top edge above the double wide doors 8’ wing span per door 16’ total width of exterior door opening add a solar/wind powered fans along the top edge every 2’ for a total of 9 intake fans run a full board width starting from the top ceiling dropping down 3’ from top at a angle to middle of stack height of wood. Add three dehumidifiers one on each outer edge and one hung dead center all running of solar/wind battery are deep cycle. Glass the outer windows with wide panels double glass. A top of the out side metal panel or highly stained wood panel extending four feet off the top back side with putter and side drip edges. To keep top fans dry in wet weather. Painted or stained dark. In the lower doors add four high Volume fans two to each door pointed outward for rapid venting. The water from the dehumidifiers could be collected in exterior rain barrels with added oxygen stone for each to keep the water fresh. For yards or gardens. The interior and exterior walls will be insulated with Rock Wool or insulation of choice. Stained dark or painted dark. Build a platform at base for easy forklift, tractor, bob cat loading. Have a certified electrician help with the battery and wind/solar components. Enjoy quickly solar kilned wood for years to come. The floor should be off the ground by 2 feet with sand and gravel base and stained or the bottom treated wood. I could source the whole thing but a contractor with experience could tell the cost of this beast better than me. Hello let me know if this is feasible??
Splitting wood is definitely good exercise even if you're using a hydraulic splitter. I'm hoping she will reconsider on the safety gear when using a splitter. If she doesn't listen to you, hearing protection isn't going to help. Lol
She was killing me by handling the the log from the end. I noticed that you were instinctively handling the logs in the middle. Granted, she had to move her hands to work the levers, but you can never have an accident if your hands are never in the danger zone.
Women who had dads that made them work around the house are better for it. We don't want any wimpy women, right? Always enjoy your projects when you include Autumn. A touch of grace is always welcome.
She did a great job. She does the same thing as my wife when she helps me… she overthinks the job. Women need to learn men are simple creatures, we don’t voluntarily do jobs that need a lot of thinking. 😂
Good afternoon Doug, wondering if you are still looking sale your track cleaning tool? If so, please let me know how to go about purchasing one. Thank you.
I’m late to the Party Doug, this Wolf Ridge looks like a good Low to Medium volume wood splitter suited to a one or two Person or Family piece of Equipment that you can plant the seeds for memories, similar to what Autumn had with her Dad. Like you alluded too, Full totes of Split Wood is not the only Beneficial Product of time well spent. There is more one way to exercise in good old out doors. 😀👍🪵👍🪵👍🪵
enjoyed the splitting-action !!! great job, Autumn and Doug !!!!
Autumn is not just taking direction, she’s thinking about what she’s doing! I love that!!!
As they say What a Woman!! Great video.
Hello Doug, Great Teamwork with one of the best splitter made 🤘🏻🙏🇺🇸
Hey, thanks!
Great video Doug and Autumn. The 28C is a great splitter… I own one! My Eastonmade 22-28 with box wedge has spoiled me with the pull back arm on the box wedge! Two great companies with great products and service.
Doug, now that's what I call beautiful and special help. Stay safe, healthy warm. Bill H from Cranberry Township
Awesome job, Autumn! That hard work is what keeps us women young and in good shape.
That’s a good woman! Fortunate man.
What a beautful assistant.- Love the teamwork video.
Thank you!

My wife does all our wood splitting. She loves it.
That’s impressive! Good for her!!

Great story, thanks for sharing!
Doug your a very lucky man to have your wife help you. My wife never takes an interest in things I do. Autumn is one to cherish
Thanks 👍
Nice play on words! Love a good dad joke. Doesn't it make you cry a little on the inside when you split black walnut? Ha. Autumn works harder than your neighbor...😅
You are correct on that one, she does! 😁
No crying here 😂
Good team work
Thanks
Great teamwork! Definitely a 2-person job for smooth workflow. 👍👍

Camera placement for the win.
lol you’re welcome.
Autumn, We Are
Nice work Autumn❤
Your wife have do an excellent job
Whew Doug! Sad to see even short walnut going to the fireplace...sometimes just happens! Nice video!
She did a great job!
Yes she did!
Great job guys! Sarah had the same problem remembering to pull her hand off the auto cycle valve as well! Nice looking firewood 🤙🏼
We just gotta get them out there more!!! 😁
Autum did a great job for her first run on the splitter.
Great video Doug and Autumn! Won't take long and she will be a Pro with the 28C. ❤❤
Thanks Chris!
Just gotta get her comfortable with it all!!
Good job miss. Doug great job .. keep smiling 😊
Love it. My wife comes out and helps me sometimes as well. She loves the exercise. It's a lot of lifting and trips back and forth for stacking. The extra person makes the job go quicker. I love the help and the company. Great video!
That is awesome! Thanks
Your wife does a better job with the log splitter than Adam does.
Hi Autumn! Great job…nice machine !
Doug, get a pickaroon. Saves on the back dragging those logs to the lift. Adam's is pretty good. GOD Bless
I actually just made myself one. They work pretty good.

I hope so too!
I use a pulp hook doings firewood ! It's like having a bionic arm. 😜
My wife likes to be the splitter operator, does a great job stacking too!
She was killing me by handling the the log from the end. I noticed that you were instinctively handling the logs in the middle. Granted, she had to move her hands to work the levers, but you can never have an accident if your hands are never in the danger zone.
I have the same fear!! Never on the ends!!
Doug a tote a day keeps the doctor at bay awesome job and video 😮😊❤
Doug better be careful Autumn could kick your butt splitting firewood with that wolf ridge splitter
Need to rock the Eye and Ear Protection Young Lady!!!!!!
Agree!!
Women who had dads that made them work around the house are better for it. We don't want any wimpy women, right? Always enjoy your projects when you include Autumn. A touch of grace is always welcome.
I agree!!!

lol😂😂😂
That's a nice splitter! Will there be a video taking down that tree that you and Adam ran through his mill? Good stuff Doug.
Yes, it will be next Sunday
Excellent job! Autumn is a quick learner and Doug is great teacher. A marriage made in the wood yard. 🪵
Yes! Thank you!
Good afternoon Doug, wondering if you are still looking sale your track cleaning tool? If so, please let me know how to go about purchasing one. Thank you.
I am currently out of stock and need to make more. I will post when I have more done.
Thanks for checking in.
Good job getting the wife out there. You probably won't see dinner tonight. And... your General really needs a bath!
It sure does, but it is still dropping below freezing here.
You sure didn’t waste any time getting to the good part lol
I know my audience 😂
Must be an east coast thing to split the firewood so small 😂🤣
West Coast Man likes his firewood a bit bigger 🙄😳
All my stuff is hard wood, if you split it small, it dries faster and burns nicer in campfires. No one likes a cold Smokey campfire!
Usually walnut is a high value saw log, what made you decide to split that?
We took 3 very nice walnut saw logs to Adam’s when we cut the tree down. This stuff was the smaller junkier stuff.
how come she does the heavy work and you just stand there and pull the handle?
We switched after she learned the controls.
Black walnut for firewood? Naah. You have a neighbor with a sawmill. Wtf
He got the main tree for the saw mill. This stuff was from the branches and the crotch areas. Go watch my other video where we cut it down. Wtf….
🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
I see what you are doing. Get your beautiful wife in the videos to get your subscriber numbers to increase.
Maybe, but she was in my very first video I ever made for my RUclips channel. 😁
She does make the videos better!
