    Having purchased a large tract of land that was recently logged (before purchase) I can say that I greatly appreciate the advise on these tools! I've cut more wood in the last year than in the last 35 years. That is a LOT since I'm an avid back woodsman. Thank you for the video and even more of a thank you for your vocabulary that put a smile on my face!

    At 3:23 using the pickaroon(?) reminds me - All tools are hammers. Except chisels. They’re screwdrivers.

    I agree making your own woodcutting tools is very satisfying and often better than factor made.

    Awesome videos :) I love cutting firewood but its always nice to see the different tools we all use, I do a lot of mine in winter so i dont have to worry about getting in the dirt, I built my own log lifter kinda like yours works awesome so you dont have to bend over as far when cutting :))

      They are a tight fit. The point will drive into the end and the shaft will be held in with one screw. It is a small task, hammer screwdriver and five minutes you will have it done.

    Sorry to say this but it looks like your left elbow may be brushing up against poison ivy @7:00. It could also be Virginia Creeper - it is hard to tell from the video.

    Genius stump vise ! Pickaroon , peavy, and pulphook indispensible. Measuring firewood, just a marked line on your saw. I don't want any metal sticking out while cutting. Try PFERD's CS-X 2in1 sharpener.
    NOW ! get you some PPE. The femoral artery cut will bleed you out in minutes. Helmet SYSTEM, if only for those %$#@# branches coming down. And, since we usually cut solo, if you're not a vet, get some basic emergency training ( sometimes called Wilderness Medicine). May save your ass. JMNSHO
