Yes, but obviously this toy faces a challenge when folks who take this stuff seriously walk by. I immediately want a bungee to put around it so the wood doesn't go everywhere. I also want to split it finer than in quarters. Had to nope out.
Seems like you know what you want to go build. Can’t wait to see your version on HN soon :)
I think it might be more that folks who take this stuff seriously face a challenge when someone makes a toy about it.
I believe the toy is indifferent to your inability to enjoy it.
