What happens here

Begin by taking a piece of firewood and carefully placing it vertically onto the center of the manual log splitter's fixed wedge. Ensure the log is stable before proceeding. Once positioned, take the mallet and strike the top end of the log with moderate force. The force of the mallet drives the log downwards, causing it to split against the stationary wedge. After the initial split, remove the two halves. To create smaller kindling, place one of the split halves back onto the wedge and repeat the process of striking it with the mallet. Continue splitting the pieces until they reach the desired size for kindling. This method is shown to be efficient and satisfying, allowing for quick processing of wood into manageable pieces for starting fires, and serves as a safer alternative to using an axe.

Goal: This step details the practical application of the manual log splitter: positioning the wood, striking it with a mallet, and repeating the process to achieve desired kindling sizes.

What they say

Hide

at the store in a bag. Few taps on here with a mallet and then no axe required. Boom, just like that, do it over and over again until you got yourself pilot kindling so you can actually make your fire super simple. When you got a big one in there, you've got to take some bigger wax at it. That's when it starts to really, you know, you get that anger out and it's quite exciting. That's when it really gets fine. Yeah, it's quite exciting. So that's when you get, you've gotten, you get or got in the fight with your wife and you've got to just go outside. And you're naturally wrong because you're outside and you take your anger out on there. Yeah, because you're always wrong and so instead of bunching a hole in the wall, you just come outside and just make some kindling. Yeah, just make a few like taps. Look at that. Look at that. So I'm going to seriously get some rage out of here.
