  • i hand split all my firewood

  • move to Houston we only need heat about 2 weeks a year

  • why not go and buy an old fashion manual log splitter.

  • Can you say "maul".....

  • axe heads are not hardend, so dont hit them you fuck face

  • waste of time, any way thanks.

  • No no no and my god no! You must never do that! Axes are never meant to be hit, at all, ever! It WILL ruin them. No question about it, no one who knows what they are doing would even consider that.

  • If you don't have a wedge!

    just use two axes back to back same thing

  • lol, that's the way i still split logs. Well, i use a mual, but when that doesn't work, i resort to the wedge, and an 8 ib slege. I go though quite a bit of wood a day this way, my house is mainly wood heated. We have central heat, but it doesn't get run that much.
