your best and most trusted partner swinging the stricker because your
well being is in his hands!
End of quote.


Has anyone heard of way for one person to do this alone, i.e. is there
a good way to hold the splitter with a (flexible but firm) device thus
freeing up the hands to swing the hammer. It may be more cumbersome,
but safer and maybe even necessary if no brave assistant can be found
