Any firewood splitters here?

I spend most of my life working in manufacturing and I'd like to believe I have a healthy respect for machines...that's probably why you wouldn't find me within 50 feet of some of those
I agree. I worked in a stamping plant (auto stuff). Talk about the thousand faces of death.
Heck, I don't even like helping a buddy stage his car. I'm always afraid the guy doing a burnout behind me will get me!

Yeah, number two is the "best". Hearing protection!

I split mine with a maul. Good work out. I take my time. Kind of a "see the wood, kill the wood", thing. lol
