Chopper 1 splitting notes
I noticed the other day one
of the springs must have fallen out of the Chopper 1 axe.
It seems to continue to split
with no problems.
This time I've decided to
find a more local option for spring replacement if I can remember to
put it on the list for the next hardware store trip.

How about the smart log splitter?
With regard to safety it seems like a big improvement over an axe. The wegde holds the wood in place untill the weight strikes it. And the guide always keeps the wedge vertical.
It seems to have little trouble even with big logs. See the video.
