    My kids wanted to do wood so I said let's do it. Only 20 minutes of work. Would of finished a lot if company didn't come over. Oh well.

    I agree. My kids are 5 and 3 but they are work horses like their daddy. I have to tell them to stop and drink some water. By the time they are 10 they will be running my splitter and I'll do all the stacking..

    I agree well. Make you want to work harder so you can show them what's it's all about busting your rear

    Yup. I started splitting at age 6. Stacking long before that. Was on a farm so had other chores to take care of also.

    Nice! I am very thankful for my boys, they've been running our splitter (hydraulics lever) for me (5 & 7yrs old resp.) while I move the rounds in place. They swap running the lever and stacking, so good to have help.
