    I have an absolutely ancient Chopper I. It's probably 40 years old. Great tool. They superseded it with the Chopper II which was a PoS. I use my Chopper I for all smaller stuff I hand split -- anything that I figure I won't need a wedge for.

    If your looking for a maul, try the new fiskars 8lb splitting maul. Great tool.

    Finished splitting wood for next season - just need to stack it and cover it so it can dry out. I fabricated a log lift for my splitter from parts from the local HF store.

    Is that a home built PTO driven splitter?

    Yea, I built it ~7 years ago. My tractor hydraulics are only 6 gpm so I needed a pump to make it go a little better. Works decent and doesn't take up too much storage space.

    You cutting for next year or the year after? I always had 2 years ahead stored in a dry place so I would never have to burn green wood. Miss those days.

    For next year, I’ve always dried one summer under cover lots of air... always cut in the winter when the trees are dormant

    This morning I was cleaning the ashes out, getting ready for the day's burn, when I ran into a problem - the ash pan would not slide out. I crouched down and peered in, saw something sticking down, pushed it up and got the pan out. I looked again at the dangling thingie and it looked like iron! I'm thinking oh boy, brand new stove and it's already broken? So I poked and wiggled and finally the thing fell out. It's (most of) an old iron square nail. You never know what you'll find in old wood.
