Hewing timber part 2

The part two of hewing thick spruce log. I use another axe to do the final work on the log. I didn´t put any subtitles on it. The next one will be in english!

Very nice... especially seeing the little man right there watching you. He was as intrigued with the camera as he was you hewing that log. Well done sir!

Long live the internet... where you can learn anything your heart desires!

This is really slick, with a lot of elbow grease as we say.I am watching it with my 4 year old Grandson who is exceptionally interested in old tools and old ways and history in general.It is good to see other people who include their families in their life.He said to me as we were watching,"What's that boys name, I'd like to talk to that little boy." Then he told me Grandpa, his Daddy is real good.Can we do that Grandpa. You have axes like that".I do but unfortunately physically can't Great job

@Invent4U Fantastic! I hope that interest in old tools etc stays with him until he can start on his own. This is my oldest son Johannes (John). All the best to you!

Great video! Can you tell me about your axe. Maker, weight, single or double bevel?

[cavepieboy]

Nice video, well nice work, that log looks so good hewn like that, I noticed that you were using the broad axe on the opposite side that I would have thought to use it. The flat part of the axe to the wood, but your results were great.
