      +wildonemeister I split do firewood for a living. splitting 2-4 bush cord a day. this technique is good, however, hitting the log like that does damage to the wrists over a long period of time. I use this style but from the other side where I'm burying the axe into the dirt. it's good for anything up to 12" across. anything beyond 12" your best just to hit the holding wood ( the outer 3") normally 1-3 good swings will pop anything up to 30" across. anything past that I would drive a wedge into one side and use the axe on the direct opposite.

    • @wildonemeister
      @wildonemeister 8 років тому +1

      Justin Maizis Your firewood measurements does not compute in my part of the world - how much is 3 bush cords in liters? The math trying to figure out your funky measurements gave me a headache :P I might not have the best splitting maul, but my axe is top notch and I'd pick it over the maul any day. I personally split large pieces once or twice with my electric splitter and then use the axe on the rest to make things go faster. Can you sir answer me what kind of moisture content the US/Canada has as a minimum to sell the firewood? I've read 30% somewhere and in my part of the world it's 20% (which is of course way better in all aspects).

He's chopping baby sized pieces of wood with an axe... try doing this same job with normal sized logs and above and its a huge waste of time. Simply, go to the hardware store, buy a 'log-splitter' or a 'maul', ($10 bucks?), and get the job done in half the time without looking like a pussy.

    @Diogenes2077 8 років тому +63

    @ 1:50 if that happens, you flip over the axe and hit the log with the back of the axe. The piece of wood stil stuck on the axe will then split itself because it is forced down on the axe with its own weight.
    The technique shown in this video works only with pieces that are long and thin and dont have to many side branches.
    So this hack is only partially worth considering.

    @Ace12GA 8 років тому +109

    I have split a lot of firewood, and I have never seen it done like this. I'm going to give this a go next time. Thanks.

    • @Ace12GA
      @Ace12GA 7 років тому +46

      I'm a convert. This method is easier than just placing a log on a block to split.

    • @dougsholly9323
      @dougsholly9323 6 років тому +8

      I also gave this method a try, and I am surprised by how effective it is. Plus, if you split straight through, on a block the ax can get wedged pretty good, but landing sideways in a horizontal log, it rarely got stuck. This method is especially effective on smaller logs, or second splits.

  • @captainjayc9217
    @captainjayc9217 3 роки тому +10

    This is a very good tip. I had two large wood logs left because they were odd shape and hard to split, and I kept delaying splitting them because I knew they were difficult to split. Finally I used the tip in this video in this afternoon to split those two pieces. The tip actually works -- still hard work though because the wood fiber are twisted -- at least I could split them. Thanks for the tip.

    I guess it is better for the one hit wonders, but if you need to smack it again there is the extra step of removal.
    Also it will work better if you wedge the support log and chop a notch into it so the top logs don't roll.

    So at my family cabin, we chop wood with a 10lb wood splitter and a 35ish pound sledge hammer. Made from an old car axle with a hammer top welded on top of it.
    We kept breaking our sledge hammers with a wood handle....
    We are also splitting tree logs a bit larger that the ones you had so your technique wouldn't work for us.
    But for our smaller logs this would be perfect. Save us some energy this will.
    Thanks for the tip.
