Ayla Hutchinson's bright idea for a safe and effective way to cut kindling was sparked by seeing her mother nick her finger while using an unwieldy axe. Although (luckily) no major injuries were incurred, Ayla's problem solving brain kicked in, seeing a problem that surely many people faced. As part of a science fair project Ayla developed the prototype kindling cracker, which consisted of an axe head welded by her dad Vaughn onto a metal plate. She won a prize at the Fonterra Taranaki Science and Technology Fair, and went on to refine the product, adding a safety cage to prevent any injury from falling on the axe, and flaring out the bottom of the axe to allow the kindling to split completely. https://collection.pukeariki.com/persons/12734/ayla-hutchinson
