    On youtube I know wrangler star has a video on a set up like this. He also used the same setup when testing out unconventional mauls.

    This fall I took 3 , 14" old tires. Screwed them together with deck screws and dropped a 13" diameter round of firewood in the middle. The thing I like about the tire method is I can put sometimes 2,3,4 rounds inside the tire and split them all and they don't fly all over the place. Then I grab the whole bunch and put it in the wood box sled or put it in the wood shed. I use a 5 lb Collins Rafting Ax or 5 3/4 lb Chopping ax or 6 lb splitting maul. But I want to try one of those Fiscars splitting mauls.
    The tires are also safer as a missed lick of the ax catches in the tire not quizzes by the skins/ feet.

    Did anyone bother to think he's making kindling? Anyway, I love his method of keeping everything together, no bending over to retrieve the pieces, smart man.
