I have a gate hinge and thought of making a froe with it, nice durable apocalypse tool.
I'm going to put a 90 right angle near the tip though and have a 1.5-2 inch kickoff that will be chisel sharp for use in gouging channels and bowl work.
Definitely one of the forgotten keys to civilised living 👍
I have one coming in a few days, Can't wait to get in the backyard with it.
Dave , thanks for sharing this tool tutorial , I've never used one before 👍
I have found that if you don't want to damage your hands, splitting the log with an ax, as he has done in this video, is the best method. Also, give the fro a good hard whack and then use the handle to pry it apart. Hitting the protruding end of the blade causes the fro handle to whip against your hand as though you were beating it with a stick.
Love the traditional tools and skills! Nice job brother! Enjoyed watching this mate 👍🏽👍🏽😎 best wishes bud
Cheers buddy
From the looks of it that appears to be quite a handy little item to possess
I think I'm going to get a froe for splitting kindling. I use a hatchet, but doing this regularly for a few decades, I can see myself losing a finger or two.
Neato ! Reminds me of the movie The New Immigrants, with Liv Ullmann and Max Von Sydow , how he made their cabin. Interesting !
Not seen it but read one of the books
Interesting, never seen one before
Nice work dude, 😎👍👍
Seen you over on REAPER MILITIA OUTDOORS. I enjoyed this video and the use f the English Froe. I watched the video in full and the ads. I subscribed to your channel and hit the like button and notification bell
You sir are a damn hero
@@verysurvival not sure I consider myself a hero but both my children serving for this country. I am proud to call them hero's. Thanks for the kind words love your content
I'm going to get me one of those. Great vid buddy.
I think mine only cost £15 so it is not a big deal to pick one up and mess around
@Leonidas Piledriver Look for some growing on a woodpecker hole mate. Also make sure to put loads of shrink wrap on your little fella so as not to get any splinters .
I don't know if you can get them there, but I would be interested in seeing you getting into the cold steel samburu spears So that you can come over here and go boar hunting.
Cold steel is overpriced in my land. but I have other options for spears. its on the to-do list
Thanks for this tutorial! About to purchase a froe. Do you use it on green or dry wood? Are there any species that are best or worst when used with a froe?
Search for a video by Harry Rogers on you tube . That is the best.

@@verysurvival Thank you! I'll check this out!
I'd already seen that Dave but rewatching as per my project outlined in my own comment 👍

Could you use this method to split a piece of yew ?
it will split most wood,
Have you redone your whole roof with this method?
I built a Taj Mahal replica
Nice to see some Froe promotion. Great vid as usual. A tip is to not make the shingles one by one from a large block like that. It will taper off and get to thin in the end. Instead, you should make halves and then halve them in turn till you get the right thickness. With bigger loggs you can make the shingles radially instead.
Here's a pro in action: ua-cam.com/video/UZA1J8RHltY/v-deo.html
Sir the handle can be used to pry wood
thank you!
A smart man would have used a maul and his froe to split the wood
