Some years ago at a fair I saw, in the antique engine section, a kindling splitter. It was a flywheel, crankshaft, and piston rig. the flywheel and crank was on top, the piston on the bottom and the piston was on rails and it was a wedge, not a round engine type piston. There was a "table" mounted under the piston and you just slid the log section you wanted to split under the piston, which stroked about once a second I think, and if the grain was straight pieces of kindling just fell off. All you did was to move the log to the next position. The piston/wedge never came all the way down so even if you got your hand under it it wasn't the end of the world, although I would be very carefull not to do this. It was for "stove wood, abougt 10 to 12 inches long. It worked great, OHSA would love one I am sure. It was powered by an old one cylinder make and break engine and driven by a flat belt. Only saw it once, have been looking for it again ever since.

Hi dons,

I have found that a simple axe works nicely for the splitting of kindling. I only use a hydraulic splitter for the tough stuff; the stuff that will not wind up as kindling anyway.
