This is cool, if you ever have to split wood.

Guy in Finland invented it. And here I thought Finns were only good for metal…and vodka

I thought this was going to be about a carbon fiber guitar...

Interesting idea. I would think the rotation would introduce more fatigue, but it's been a while since firewood has warmed me three times. . .

You say that like those two things aren't enough.

Wow. That video demo is pretty amazing.

If I had a need for firewood, it would be almost worth the $300 or so to have one shipped.

But yeah, I actually have a ton of wood (heh...heh) that I need to chop. Frankly, I was going to pay a team of humans to do it for me, but I might actually buy this thing instead.

LOL,

You could buy that thing, and still pay others to wield it. The best of both worlds!

Finland sounds awesomer by the minute.

Look at the background in that video. The guy has a ton of logs to split. No wonder he came up with that.

Holy shnikies! I wish we had had one of those when I was growing up.

From Monty Python's Contractual Album:



Finland, Finland, Finland,
The country where I want to be,
Pony trekking or camping,
Or just watching TV,
Finland, Finland, Finland,
It's the country for me.

You're so near to Russia,
So far from Japan,
Quite a long way from Cairo,
Lots of miles from Vietnam.

Finland, Finland, Finland,
The country where I want to be,
Eating breakfast or dinner,
Or snack lunch in the hall,
Finland, Finland, Finland,
Finland has it all.

You're so sadly neglected,
And often ignored,
A poor second to Belgium,
When going abroad.

Finland, Finland, Finland,
The country where I quite want to be,
Your mountains so lofty,
Your treetops so tall,
Finland, Finland, Finland,
Finland has it all.

Finland, Finland, Finland,
The country where I quite want to be,
Your mountains so lofty,
Your treetops so tall,
Finland, Finland, Finland,
Finland has it all.

Finland has it all...

PONY TREKKNG!

I could nver figue qath out

that one cool maul. but having a tire keep everything in place plays a very big role in him being able to mutli strike the log. without the tire, the log piece fly all over the place and you spend a LOT of time bending over and picking them up and getting them to "stand up" on the chopping block.

but yea.....cool device.
