I swear this forum needs to embrace their inner child more some days. My four year old loved this.
Well executed fun.

I love it also, but I think the comments are pointing to an unmet need for firewood splitting simulators.
The comments are suggesting that someone could go to town adding different kinds of hatchets, mauls, axes, woods, and different swings, and people would eat it up.
Both can be true. It's cool and fun but simulation is a well defined term.
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 think it might be more that folks who take this stuff seriously face a challenge when someone makes a toy about it.
I believe the toy is indifferent to your inability to enjoy it.
Seems like you know what you want to go build. Can’t wait to see your version on HN soon :)
I have too much actual wood to split but I like where you're head is at.
to be fair this wasn't being shared to a site filled with four year olds
My inner four year old loved this.
