    Was happy when the splitter fired up on the third pull after sitting for a year.

    I’ve been fighting a bit of sciatica on my left side so wanted to see how it would react. Splitting while seated in the chair seems to be fine.

    Kind of warm out today but got a few pieces split to go right to the wood shed for next Winter warmth.

    So far a mix of Maple and Alder.

    I finally purchased a cover for the splitter so it can handle some Spring rain.

    Looks like you have plenty of work a head of you. Good luck, hope the chair idea keeps working for you.

    I sit while splitting as well, easier on the back.

    Good to hear it fired up after sitting. Do you put stabilizer in the fuel?
