- In todays video Melissa and I split a little firewood. Sometimes when the firewood rounds are smaller and straight I prefer to use an axe instead of the log splitter because its much faster.

Mike you are a lucky man to have a partner like Melissa. Bless you both. Love to watch your videos.
Talk about your multitasking skills Melissa! Wow!
The couple that splits together sticks together!
jlen82 -👍🏼😀
Absolutely nothing lime splitting wood my best year 55 CORDS with a 6 lb plumb maul fresh air and exercise
Wow! Four years has changed a lot of things! 😊
Piper did a great job of supervising, and gracious she just adores you, Melissa!
I absolutely love how you two work together! Your videos are such a joy to watch.
22 minutes
Pipers a happy girl, her smile gives it away!
That took 20 minutes.
Good teamwork and Mel is always smiling as usual.
I have no idea.I was to busy watch Melissa!!
Nice! I'll be swinging the ax this year as well. I don't have a splitter, and I'm installing a wood stove for heating. Power bill was way to high last year for heating. I live out in the country and wood is free 😁
It's great to see that hubby/wifey working together. Wonderful to see those kinds of interactions in this crazy world. And even Piper! 💕🎉🐕
Team work, I love it. Awesome job, guys!
Good team effort. My wife and I are the same way. It makes life easier when you are married to your best friend. Love the videos. Happy Thanksgiving. Stay warm up there.
The dog when you first started splitting is the best part of the video. Watching the axe go up and down, taking steps back each swing... and then gets bored and walks off to find another adventure. Lol
Looks like that Fiskers splitting axe works really well . Wife and husband working together, nice . That Piper is a smart dog . She backed right up when Mike said " look out Piper " . Another nice video . 20 minutes .
Melissa you’ve got a natural on camera presence.
and easier on the eyes than Mike 😂
I can’t remember, I got distracted. 😃
Eye Candy for sure. Mike ur a ugly cuss....lolol jk
Mike, you make it so easy! I have never split firewood that easy. I chuckled when you told Melissa to "hurry up". Piper is a big lap dog and loves Melissa!
Now That Was Pretty Quick Work By Hand!!👍👊
9 minutes and 27 seconds. Enjoy your channel. You guys look like you are having fun.
You guys work great together, I would say it took 25 minutes 👍👍
My wife watched this too and enjoyed it. She and I just did a cord+ for barter and she really enjoyed that. But we did use the Craftsman 27 ton splitter. And she unloaded it all when we got there. It was her idea. What a gal!
Thanks for the bit on your dog. I believe that certain critters were meant to be pets, and it's no wonder they are good family members.
I have an 8# maul and the same Fiskars splitting axe you used, in addition to the hydraulic splitter. And around here we have very knotty ponderosa. So that advantage is golden to us. But the local favorite wood is lodgepole pine. We don't have a lot of hardwood unless a tree dies or a construction company takes out an oak for example.
My time guess is 40 minutes. You two were really going at it!
Very nice to see two of you respect each other very nice
Beautiful Couple love y'all!!
Interesting video. Thanks for sharing.
Mike, Melissa, and an x27! A winning team in any book!
Melissa is fast and a hard worker. We might want to help her negotiate her contract. She probably doesn’t need it though.
I'm up in NH and must say your life sure looks a lot like mine. I've only ever split with an axe and just leave those big nasty pieces for an outdoor fire. I'm new to the channel and am having an absolute blast catching up. Happy hunting, splitting, stacking, burning, snow clearing and all the other fun stuff!
"When I nod my head, you hit it."
Good accuracy swinging that ax. Great exercise for you both!
21 mins, 43 sec, give or take whatever it takes. Good teamwork. 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
Most species of wood do not split that easily but I did get a laugh at how easy and fast you did it. . I had three of pieces of twisted Douglas fir which took a longer time to split than you did for the whole load.
Melissa is smart she starts loading at the same time!
What a GREAT TEAM ! made it look easy and FUN at the same time ! 16 minutes 43 seconds.
With two people, 11 minutes. Also American made Council Tool makes great classic mauls and axes. Keep up the good work. OWTM is my favorite channel.
Made that look easy. Ive got to get to splitting some more myself. Its got super cold here.
Great idea using tote frames for wood storage / stacking
More wives should help their husbands like this. Most women try to get out work. A nice property like this it takes 2 working together.
I will say 18 minutes. An axe is faster, but i can't split all day with an axe anymore, but the log splitter sure helps with that. Either way having a good helper makes for more production and a more enjoyable task. Thanks for the video.
You folks are great!!! I can tell by the way you love your dog!!!!
35 min. - Mike you are a lucky man !!!!
I just bought a Fiskars splitting axe after watching you use one. Love it.
Mike, from this sidee of the ocean / merry old Germany: Suggest for safety reasons to not swing the axe in direction of Melissa and Piper. A 90 degree angel to both would cost nothing but you would gain an extra safety range. I work and like this typ of axe very much. But when it is sharpened well is is a weapon. In case it slips out of your hands no human beeing or animal should be endangered.
The wood is flying at 90 degrees from the axe every chop. That's why his assistant is at about 135 degrees. Out of the way of flying wood and axes.
@@stopfollowingme2391 axe's can and do slip and wood dosent always go to sides when chopped. Either way- putting ur gf wife and or partner n dog is a risk no one should take. Rewatch video...she was in line with axe many times. Period
I cringed when I saw that.
Good to watch a couple work as a team 😎
30 minutes on the hand splitting! Awesome video, got love the fresh outdoors in any weather!
Have a great Thanksgiving!
A great vid Mike & Melissa. It's fun going back & watching video posted before we started following you. A lot of fun. God Bless.
Almost as fast as the couple chopping wood in the Gieco commercial
I really enjoy splitting wood - who needs a gym membership ? This was a Great Video, Displaying Great Values - Give Piper a scratch from us all.
45 minutes. beautiful dog, we had 2 goldens when our children were growing up.
18 minutes and 43 seconds. Great job!
Hey I thought those ladies said to step into the swing? The next challenge.."The John Henry" see if you can out split a half cord or even a cord against the Melissa and the wood splitter. Ha Ha. Always a pleasure watching your videos Morgans!! Thanks for sharing.
32 Mins. Start to finish!
It seems we like the same things, I guess its a PA thing. I end up on your videos a lot , thank god Melissa is easy on the eyes. lol Sorry Mike but I am jealous of your toys and especially your farm. It is nice to see some good people own such a beautiful farm. Thank you
Mean and lean splitting machine! Very precise splitting work.
Great job still enjoy videos pray y’all doing well.
19 min 29 seconds. good show
i got a splitsec woodsplitter look them up i think you love that woodsplitters i got my and i will never go back to hydraulics wood splitters
Good videos!!
Piper has a nice smile.
Good job splitting the timber but I was more interested in watching your dog walk around . I love goldies
That’s the way i used to have to split it as a youngster. My dad bought wood by the tractor trailer load. He cut and I split and stacked. Good exercise.
That spltting axe is awesome! I have the same one.
I’d guess 20min to bust all that up - WITH Melissa doing all the leg work! 😁
Hi from Oz. I used to split firewood like that by the 5x6' trailer load. I didn't do it for a living as I just wanted to clear up all the fallen timber I had. It was very old, large diameter (500mm up) and as hard as nails and many the time the hint of a knot or branch would literally have my block splitter bounce off. The angle of the blade on my splitter wasn't as acute as yours which I liked as I noticed yours sticking in a couple of times. You call them rounds but we know them as billets and because they were so big I always worked the edges. My man toy on my property was big old JCB backhoe. Best toy I ever had. I tried ever so hard to plant that thing in various bog holes on the property but became an expert at walking it out on the buckets instead. I had some remnant stumps about 2 meters in diameter that had the notches cut in them for the ax men's planks from another era still standing on the property. Another curiosity from those days was a large hollowed (naturally) log used as a culvert pipe on one of my creek crossings. A tip for you is logs make excellent culvert crossers or small bridges. Dig out your ditch over a road, notch out the banks deep enough to take the logs you want to use and then lay your road base over the logs. I actually worked at a modern mine that used this method on their mine site using timber from the site. A funny story to me but not my neighbor was the day he came across with his tractor to collect a log I said he could have and he broke his tractor completely into two pieces trying to move it. He's never had that much happening between his legs even to this day. The log was easily 3' diameter and about 40' long and I had no idea how he was going to move it. Anyway my 20 acres of heaven has gone now but I left it as nature intended. It was just north of Brisbane and I didn't have a deciduous anything growing on it. I can't get used to the difference at your place between the seasons.
Mike, my guess is 15 minutes. Oregon Kinetic spliter company should sponsor you with one of their spliters. Would be great advertisement for their product on one of the fastest growing U-tube country life channels. I'll drop them a line and make the suggestion
Great video
Try putting a bungee cord around a group of logs. That should help them to stay up after being split in case you want to split them again. Also a good hard stump helps them split better too.
I just use a small tire screwed to a stump.
Our yellow lab is named Piper. She’s a princess too.
That’s it guys love it
may want to consider if results would be different using wet wood? I process all my firewood on the site of the felling using a log splitter connected to the 4 wheeler. It is my first season doing it so I don't have any aged (this is my own fault and kudos to you for having some dried to split) mine certainly doesn't make that sound when I hit it with the axe, it doesn't pop, its stringy and its every third piece has to be swung on the blade and hammered upside down with the axe to get it to separate. hopefully next year things will get better with left over wood drying and processing during summer, but for now, log splitter is only reasonable method time-wise for wet 8" logs. - nice video sir.
Not sure where you get the idea dry wood splits better than wet, I split everything with a x27 and I split it as soon as I cut it. Letting it dry makes it harder by far.
Team work makes dream work and alway better to have you best friend with you
Great times.. I only had a fireplace for 1 year and i grabbed wood everywhere, every weekend. .my neighbors would say you're going to be so thin come fall..not quite the case.. That sawing,chopping,carrying and stacking builds a mean appetite. .i was solid musles all tightened up, but not an ounce did i loose..
Nice to have so much equipment. I would eliminate as much bending as possible. . great videos .
5:21 Smart making use of the trip back to the bed without being empty handed.
Moe: You take the axe, I'll hold the wood. When I nod my head, you hit it.
Curly: Nyuk nyuk.
Yall are the most wood chopenest people I ever saw.... it should be outdoors with the woodchucks.... wow
Good job. Piper is a beautiful dog.
Getting in a hurry is when accidents happen. No amount of wood is worth an accident.
Nice dog!
looks good
Hi I'm John from the UK Wales been watching your channel for one month found it very interesting and fascinating the way you handle tree trunks you've now become my daily soap along with Home and Away, Out Doors with the Morgans, don't ever stop and what a treasure you have in Melissa with her beauty and super fit body, great sense of humour a huge reason to subscribe. I loved the cross fit episode and the 135 lbs lift would cripple me, and Eva with 95 lbs lift at only 13 amazing. Hannah is also super fit and Hunter is so funny love him. The quality of your videos is so professional and great music i look forward to my daily watch. Love you all not forgetting Piper xx
Great exercise as a strength and conditioning specialist power drive chop chop
M & M Firewood, what a team!
Nice team work.
Cherry and maple splits like a dream. Now let’s see that again with some elm.
Another great video, enjoyed it. I'd say it took 25 minutes
As an old guy I'm going to stick with the log splitter. If I used an axe I'd have to take a nap after about 4 pieces.
i love your videos
Nice axs! ;)
27 minutes, 43.5 seconds (to be precise). Beautiful Piper and very smart too.
Look at her smile she is very pretty
18.5 minutes thumbs up
Great job, 21 min 38 sec.
Great job guy's.
How about 15 minutes, oh and truly love all of your videos! Informative and fun:)
28 mins. Mike, you are either well practiced or a natural at using a splitting axe. I was always a terrible aim, always had access to a hyd. splitter so I never got any good at hand splitting. Awesome job, both of you!
Pink Floyd - Careful With That Axe Eugene
She works better then the black diamond 😂👍🐾🐾🐾🐾
At 63,I prefer my splitter,to many friends had rotator cuff issues swinging.
22.46 mins
Piper and Melissa with their beautiful smiles
No downstairs or clap?
Harry said that the working woman I've every watched work, Man you've really got something in her.
Dam, I was hoping this was a last years video, so I could just watch the result right away. I have no idea how long it took, but I'm sure it will be faster than with the splitter. At least with the cheap splitters I know of. But as you said, it's all nice straight stuff.
I remember when I was young, my dad made me work off a hangover splitting wood. There was this one nasty piece that took me half the day, a splitter would have done it in seconds.
Супер !!!! 👍👍👍👍👍
