made start from the beginning. This thing is really quick and easy.


Seems like a lot of effort for such small logs... most of them could be
split with an axe, don't even need a maul!

That did occur to me too, but it would be a blessing if your back was bad,
or rotator cuff or something. It looks like it takes very little effort to
pull down on the arm.

Two thoughts. If there was an "X" ax head, you could do a 4 way split just
as easy.
Also, the fulcrum is too high. It should be the same height as the top of
the log to be split. As it is, the maul is moving sideways as it goes
through the wood.
