      joeystar8888 Assuming those two Jerry cans are filled, there wouldn't really be any real way for a combustion reaction to happen. The toxic-yet-non-volatile fumes that would build up (if there's any space in the can to fill it with gas) would probably ruin the oxygen-gas mixture to cause an explosion. But we don't know how full the can is, nor do we know how thick the cans are. But it's likely that there'd be no way for it to explode if it was full, or if it was empty, would have lost the oxygen-gas mixture a long time ago

    The reason for a double headed axe: lumberjacks who got paid by the tree actually needed differently ground edges. One was used to remove bark, including moss and maybe little stones and all that, and the other edge had a more flat grind and was solely for cutting the clean wood. Thus allowed them to cut trees down more easily without having to re-sharpen their axes all the time

    The reason some axes have two blades is for woodcutting, one blade is kept extremely sharp for easy felling of a tree, while the other is kept a bit more dull for chopping roots, as striking the ground is a quick way to dull any sharp blade, so one blade is kept a bit more dull.

    Fun fact for anyone who sees this. A double bit axe has two blades for a reason other than looking cool. It has to do with edge retention in different materials. One side of the axe is sharpened to a different angle than the other. The sharper of the two sides is for chopping higher up on the tree, where you aren't in danger of smashing your axe into the ground, and the other side is for work closer to the ground, where the different angle is a sturdier edge that won't take as much damage when you invariably clip the ground by accident.

    Bit late but a double headed axe has two heads, they have different edge angles on either side. One side is for stuff like splitting and not sticking as much, that side has a Steeper edge angle, the more shallow side is for biting deep into a tree. To take the chunks out and fell the tree.

    Be extremely careful what kind of gloves you wear when grinding. Most gloves will just get sucked into the wheel and drag your hand along with it.
    The wrong gloves < bare hands when it comes to grinder safety.

      Honestly, I'm not sure. I've just seen too many people in the shop get their hands mutilated by grinders and other spinning tools because their gloves got caught and sucked their hands inside.
      I don't wear gloves when I use a grinder, I just make sure the thing I'm grinding is secured properly. I've been cut by my grinder once when I was a little low on sleep, it sucked but it was just stitches on the side of my finger.

    To my knowledge, double headed axes were originally used so that lumberjacks could keep one side super sharp, and one side more dull for different types/thicknesses of wood, I could of course be wrong but thats what ive heard
