There's a trick to chopping the big ones that just bounce the axe back at you. Chop at it till it starts to crack. Then, use the axe as a wedge. The crackling sound as it splits is hard earned satisfaction.

  • firewood warms you twice. he he

  • Lordy...get a hold of a woodsplitter for a few hours! What a load of buggering around.

  • Thanks for this video...someone was getting rid of 4 large stumps...after seeing your video I went after them and....they are on my fire wood pile!!!! I did one thing different...I used an 8 pound axe. It works better for me. I am about 6'4" and that size axe feels right. Thanks again man!!!

  • Rastafitte :)

  • GODAMN THAT GUY IS HUGE!.

    He has to been doin this shit seince he was like 5 years old!

  • I just finished beating the shit out of some 10" ash which I cut down last week. I used a 8" maul and god damn some of those were tough. Do you dry ash before splitting it?

  • Nicely done, but if you split wood, be SURE to wear SAFETY GLASSES!

  • All you guys(?) recommending log splitters are a bunch of pussies!

    Put some muscle on your feeble bony arms and do some real work for once, you might feel better. But then again you might put your back out or get a heart attack... so leave it to the rest of us. Bunch of wimps.

  • WoW! two people ended up in the hospital............

  • You are a better man then me!!
