Nova Scotia inventor creates new wood splitter
An inventor from Debert, N.S. hopes a provincial innovation competition will find value in his design for a new, more efficient wood splitter even though manufacturers have so far taken a pass. Walter Rodler is also seeking a patent for his machine which features a two-degree angled shear rather than the traditional wedge used to pry open logs. "Not just better, but more portable and safer in so many ways," Rodler says as he demonstrates one of his designs in the back of his property in Colchester County.
The Halifax Shipyard welder has been tinkering with his design for years. He says it took multiple tests before he settled on the angled blade, which is able to handle all types of wood. The result is a machine that requires less power because it slices through wood more easily and without pieces flying off, he says.
