Or sq filed chisel..

I can make square filed chain cut fence wire real good.

 

[Hinerman]

We need to take up an offering to get Matt a roll of semi-chisel for Christmas

 

[Hedgerow]

Kinda cool and damp out..
I started a fire.
What to do with a day off, other than drinking coffee by myself..
I see another load of furnace fodder in my future.

If it wasn't for the price of the files,
It's pretty neat what you can do with angles

Doug, if/when you have a bit of time, could I get you to make a short video of that S.S.-S.E. going through some nasty crap? Dad and I are deciding between the HD and SE models and I'm really leaning towards sending the additional $1200 to get the SE from a capability and longevity perspective, but I've yet to see one taking really nasty knots or just big pieces.

Here you go. Some difficult splitting. Would have been quicker to noodle or toss into the burn pit. Took 8 mins to completely split each piece. Edited to make it shorter. video is of black locust, green ash, and bur oak.

Some pieces are just aweful..

Have to agree. Some pieces, no matter what kind of splitter you've got, are just plain mean and nasty.
I've run Doug's Super Splits and I've run several other hydro's. It's really a matter of knowing the machine and reading the wood.

 

[Ethan Hamby]

I found it now

Hi

 

[Ethan Hamby]

Some of the old twisted oak pieces I have won't split at all unless I noodle them lol and they're to green to just burn

 

[Ethan Hamby]

And the 54 inch oak stump in my back yard... Hell I don't know what I am gonna do with that thing.

I hacked down a standing dead 12" wild cherry last spring. It had been dead for 3 years or so. Splitting maul barely dented it. It took a 35 ton splitter to knock it in half. It was in a field and every 20" piece had 4" of twist to it. Miserable
