    Hopefully I have posted this in the right spot.

    Here is a kindling cracker that I threw together over the past couple days at work. , a little free time and some scrap metal and this is what I came up with. Just have to find the ideal log to lag it down to. Kindling Cracker.JPG

    Nice. When I need to split something small I will clamp a hatchet in a vice and use a hammer.

    Thanks , I have only tried it really quick but it seems to work all right.

    Not sure I needed it and have no trouble with using just a hatchet but was bored at work and needed something to do for a couple hours so figured why not throw it together

    I have always thought if in need of a bunch of kindling that that design looks user friendly for sure!
