Flatpik’s Amazing Kindling Machine

A guy on Craigslist had a huge pile of old lath for free – excellent kindling!  But the stuff was full of sharp little nails.  I could try pulling them – stupid time consuming.  Or just hammer them flat – sloppy and I’d wind up with ashes full of bent nails.  I needed to break the 4 foot lengths of lath into shorter pieces anyway – I figured there must be a smarter way.
