I don't think you really needed that splitter. Looks like he could rip those splits apart with his bare hands.

So if the son and GS are doing the work, my guess is that chair is for you??? :lol:

I wish my grandpa would tell us when he's cutting and splitting. I think that guy could still work me into the ground

CTBurner, that has to be a good memory day. Congratulations on that.

Last weekend I took out splitter to the neighbor's to split a small wood pile. I split for just a little and they were amazed as they had never seen a splitter before. So, I showed them how and then the neighbor took over. I let him split for a bit then got his twin boys (age 4) going on the control. Then after a bit I left them. When I went back I found they really had a good time.

Now, they are talking about getting a wood burner too! He has 10 acres of woods....mostly oaks. He should be all set. I could trade wood with him for a couple of years too. That way he could start with seasoned wood and I'd have more oak. Nice for both parties.
