Chopping firewood with axe

[tecknorapid]

dude first of all get a fiskars x27 axe, great performance, and second of all damn you are fucking strong

[kazeroth1234]

My guess is that you need to have a longer axe, and when you are in the position to chop the wood. You put the axe behind you and do a 180 degree sweep from the back of your foot and if you aim correctly, should put all that momentum and aim for the log below the one your aiming for.

Looking at your stance, you look skiddish of doing it and your more likely to hurt yourself if that axe rebounds back at you.

Thats my take on it (Taking experience from doing other things that require technique.)

old fashoned way of bulding muscles. i approve!!

[TheAstroble]

PS. raise your arms higher to get more power. It will make a BIG difference. however you will have to condition your arms for that. It will make a 5 minuet job into a 1 minute job.

[gubevares]

@TheAstroble chopping wood is more about technique than strenght

[asiis1000]

chopping wood.....heh heh.

[scourgebane1]

i find this hard to masturbate to

[gubevares]

@scourgebane1 because you are gay?

[asutuh]

Hey that's some quality wood you got there!

[gubevares]

@asutuh you can say it is bad quality because it is rotten in the middle as you can see at the dark color.

[asutuh]

@gubevares it was a joke because some guys consider a dick "wood" and well since this was a wood video i thought what the hay after seeing a Legend Of Zelda Ocarina Of Time joke.

[gubevares]

@asutuh oh, hides under the sofa? my cat is always on a pillow on my sofa.. but he is hiding if there is something that makes a lot of sound or someone yells. Maybe your cat need more relaxed atmosphere? hehe, there is some cats who are very interested in watching tv..for some reasons :O he he he

[jablonsky67]

That axe is not a splitting tool, mate.

[gubevares]

@jablonsky67 no, it is an axe!

[MonnsterMan]

get a real axe, you are working so much harder than you have too!

[gubevares]

@MonnsterMan Thank you very much! but i need to finnish my current axe!

[ThaisBlackXboxLive]

I find this quite entertaining to watch.

[TheCaskOf43]

That looks like tough wood...I just cut and split mesquite....

[yourneck2]

Wow you are so fortunate to have a home like that......

[warriorofsteel01]

bigger axe...

(longer handle(wood as composite transfers too much shock to your hands i have found out) then sharpen that bitch up and rock and roll

[408bayareakid]

gay

[gubevares]

@408bayareakid idiot

[s37d]

fiskars super splitter

[036Stihl]

Ich würd ne noch kleinere Axt nehmen...

[woodscritter]

An "axe" is a cutting tool. For stuff like limbing or splitting kindling. Sharp, hardened edge.

A maul is a wood-splitting tool. "Chubbier" cheeks, sharpness optional. Mild steel.

This is not an academic distinction- an axe can pop through end fibers and proceed directly to your shin. Short handle and sharp edge are dangerous here.

The couple of extra pounds of a 6 lb. maul make it much more effective for splitting wood, but still controllable.

[blueshadow1996]

..Hey we used to de that when we were kids..Wood burning stoves ,except we were not jmping around, a chore that had to be done ..But was alot of fun splitting wood..what a surprise when we saw wood splitters.

[TJames7]

lol

[TJames7]

lmao

[TJames7]

lmao!

[Ihatetoprocrastinate]

I've only ever used an 8 lb maul, but my cousin tells me that an axe works better for him.

[dieselfanaticIN]

that's a gerber right?

[T3hJones]

You need a bigger axe!

[stevesrt8]

@T3hJones If you have a 3 pound Axe and a 10 pound piece of wood. When you flip the axe over..you basically have a 13 pound maul..So Haaa

You obviously haven't tried this

[gubevares]

@T3hJones and i need more of your intelligent head... or brain?

[T3hJones]

@gubevares Yes it looks like that.

[T3hJones]

You need a bigger axe!

[kzoopwner]

I have that same axe and i will say it is superb, very sharp axe, lightweight and well balanced. But it is a bit small, i would think having a splitter axe would make things easier for the guy in the video.

I've never seen that flip over and hit on backside of axe, but seems to be doing the trick.

[HomoGnosticus]

I thought spruce would be easier to split. I´m splitting my firewood almost the same way,btw.

@glassman18352

sometimes it´s the fastest way to get your log split to turn the axe on its head.

[gubevares]

yes, but this spruce was very dry at the edges and rotten in the middle as you can see if you look close. If you firewood is not dry it is harder to split.

[austinandjoefilms]

You look kinda angry in this video.

[gubevares]

maybe i was angry. being angry is good when you have work like this xD

[cresidue]

OMG, you cannot chop wood! Take $20 and go buy an axe and get rid of that toy hatchet...LOL.

[glassman18352]

I've never seen anyone turn the axe on its head to split the log on the second swing. Interesting. What kind of wood is that?

[gubevares]

It is norwegian spruce. That spruce its a little bit old and rotten in the middle. But i am always chopping my firewood like that.

[Luff55g]

@glassman18352 I live in Norway, and I use that technique all the time. It's pretty good.

[replexanossega]

Hi Gubevares!

I think you have the 2.25# Pro Splitter.....Looks ok to me.

Thanks for sharing your video on my site!

I return the favor here.....

Heja Sverige!! eller var det Norge?

/Per

[gubevares]

Thank you very much, i feel honored because of you.

It is "Heja Sverige" and "Heia Norge"

But for me its only "Heia Norge" because i am Norwegian.

[GlassesOfHeaven]

good norwegian boy chopping his firewood before the cold winter in europe :)

[ivankinsman]

I would buy a heavier axe maul. It looks like your axe is too small for the size of the logs - would be better for just cutting kindling.

[KimberTactical45]

cant tell for sure, but it also looks like a chopper and not a splitting axe

[dk038967]

chopping with an axe is fun. why would u even consider new tools lol

[gubevares]

yes, but if u dont have unlimited time and wanna do another stuff its nice to have something to make the work done faster :)

[phorkphace]

dope!
