Flash powder log splitting

What to do when a log is a bit too tough to split with an axe? Use flash powder instead. Obvious really!
Around 3gm of Mg/NaNo3 flash powder (my thanks to Dornier335A for the inspiration) in a 10mm hole drilled into the log, capped with bentonite to stop sparks setting it off early, and a visco fuse.
Skip to 1:21 if you're just here for the bangs!
Enjoy.
