    I’ve been splitting for years with 6 and 8 lb mauls (5’2” female here). I put my friends’ pre-teen kids to work splitting whenever they come to visit. I just set a bunch of cut firewood on end all over the lawn, split them all to impress them, then set more up and hand THEM the maul. It keeps them busy, no whining about being bored, and when they are done they have an achievement to proudly show their parents. I believe in showing kids they can accomplish something with a little hard work and not be dependent on others.

    • @mikenormandy9250
      @mikenormandy9250 5 місяців тому

      It’s technically not a “Maul” it’s a Splitting axe, Mauls have a sledge pounder (to drive wedges for splitting) on one side and a convex or pointed bit on the other. This specifically is the Helko Werk Vario 2000 Large universal Axe. It’s a beast of an axe - can use for felling, bucking, chopping and splitting - although most will use it to split, I believe the head is 6-7lbs and the handle is 36”.
      I have the universal axe (same design, head is 4.5lbs and 30” handle) I absolutely use it to split!!! How the head is secured you cannot use it to pound anything, or hammer it from the back either.

    I have my trusty little hatchet, but don't yet have a storage solution for a full sized axe or a maul, although I think I'll have one very soon. I still need to get proper leather sheaths for them, too, before I put a good edge on them.

      Sheaths or bit covers are only really necessary if you're going to be taking them somewhere.
      If you're just using them around your property it's not that necessary.
      Some of my boys axes and hatchets / belt axes have them but none of my full sized axes do.

    That was our arsenal when I lived/logged in Montana and the Sierra Nevadas. There all kinds of axes and mauls but a lot are either task specific or gimmicks, as you say. These three are the base (weight and slight style variances are a given) tools for anyone who either lives/works in "the woods" or goes through a lot of firewood. Or spends a lot of time camping, etc. in the deep woods. A medium length axe is great for limbing and cutting "slash" if power tools aren't used.

    plenty of snarky comments about the whole "no shoes" thing. personally, I'd love to hear an explanation from Cody about his perspective and why he prefers going barefoot in the shop. one thing I've learned is that this man rarely does anything without a specific reason behind it.

    I have 100+ year old WW1 German axe 2,3 lbs weight. It's such a good steel once I sharpen it stays razor sharp for a very long time. Not good for spliting wood, more for building purposes or chopping down trees.

      @@hunterdonbach9684 there's hard maple and soft maple, so if you're not sure stick to hickory. It's the hardest wood. Black locust and some oaks can be hard too

      He's always expressed dislike for them.
      Let his dog chew up the handle of one, tested the maul which he hated, and I believe his sister injured herself with the maul too which made his opinion even worse.
