We inventors, we are wide in our concept," he said. Engineers who have learned a different concept of thinking. He blames engineers who can't think out of the box. So far, manufacturers he's contacted have not been interested. While Rodler is seeking a patent at this point, the invention is stranded in Colchester County. I feel so much safer running Walter's machine, rather than this machine," he says. That makes it so much safer - not only for the kids, but for myself. "With Walter's invention, the angled wedge it keeps that stick in there. He's paying $100 dollars to retrofit his $500 store-bought wedge splitter. Safety concerns brought local municipal councillor Doug MacInnes to Rodler. "This is is why I believe Walter's product will save people from having injury. "This is what can happen," says Taylor, holding up his hand. The device is also virtually hands free - a feature that appeals to neighbour Robert Taylor who, at age 18, lost most of his left index finger when he was clearing a jammed wood planer.
WOOD SPLITT MACHINE CRACKED
In repeated demonstrations, wood smoothly passes through the blade without the pressurized pops when wood is cracked open with traditional wedge splitter. "The angled blade works together with the hydraulics to only need that amount of pressure to start separating the wood,' he said. The result is a machine that requires less power because it slices through wood more easily and without pieces flying off, he says. He says it took multiple tests before he settled on the angled blade, which is able to handle all types of wood. The Halifax Shipyard welder has been tinkering with his design for years. "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. 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. 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.
