What about when you’re splitting a log with a branch and the maul bounces straight back up? Lol
Yeah this needs pieces with knots, and having to swing at least 3 times before the initial split works. Very unrealistic, 3/10. Need some wedge + sledgehammer modes. Also how do I simulate my shoulder and lower back hurting?
I need a fireplace or bonfire simulator that I can throw these into.
There was this old Piers Anthony short story about a little kid who likes playing with his dad's wood-splitting kit. He's a little kid so he doesn't handle an axe, but he does use adzes, hatchets, I dunno stuff I don't remember now[1]. Anyway he gets kidnapped by aliens and gets to join a great intergalactic wood-splitting competition. I won't ruin it but maybe if you get really good at this simulation you could be n…
If this triggers your interest in IRL firewood splitting it’s a very meditative and satisfying yard job. Also great mild to moderate workout between the splitting and stacking, especially on a crisp Fall afternoon.
This reminded me when we I was a kid we had to split the wood for the whole winter and that was actually a huge job all day or few days and way harder than just a moderate workout. I hated it then but actually now I miss the time I spend with my father and brother.
The only thing I don't miss is rolling a piece of piss elm over to my city living "tough" cousins after two or three pieces of oak and watching the maul just bounce off. Always funny.

I swear this forum needs to embrace their inner child more some days. My four year old loved this. Well executed fun.
Yes, but obviously this toy faces a challenge when folks who take this stuff seriously walk by. I immediately want a bungee to put around it so the wood doesn't go everywhere. I also want to split it finer than in quarters. Had to nope out.
I believe the toy is indifferent to your inability to enjoy it.

"in the prevailing AI smog" How do you know AI was not used in the making of this? (personally I don't care, the result seems nice to me)
This I don't know, but at least the topic is not related!
Its same as dbdiagram, what's new in this?
