How do you make your kindling?

With a kindlet

[barry ayres]

yeah i would go with the kindlet but if you aint got the money and looking to do it small scale then get yourself a billhook and do by hand.

[pro bros]

how many nets can you do in a shift with the kindlet.i can push 90 a day max with axe and am considering machine if production is way better

[The Firewood Guys]

I had a kindlett on hire for 2 weeks in december and did 2500 nets, with good round timber you can do 50/60 an hour once you get the hang of it .

[pro bros]

can you tell me how much it costs to hire it and from where also what wood do you use is sitka any good

[The Firewood Guys]

It was 225 a week minimum 2 week hire from fuelwood, I used larch, makes good kindling, idealy the fewer knots the better.

I watched this youtube video and then made one for myself... he goes on a bit but its worth watching.

 

 

Brilliant!!!!

how about two or three guys taking turns around a tractor tyre?

Why take it in turns plenty of room around that tyre for 3

[APC]

I use the same system as I do for splitting the logs, a tyre.

 

Instead of splitting the round in a tyre into 3 or 4 logs I just keep splitting until the wood get's thinner and thinner and turns into kindling. At some stage in this process you will need to add in more wood to keep the kindling upright but by doing this you get a tyre full of kindling in no time and even just a tyre full goes quite a long way if it's just personal use.

 

Good idea! Gonna have to give that a go with a pile of pop!

The tyre is a great idea; wearing gloves whilst using a swung tool less so.
