Nice straight grained wood in the video. Joe, you're stayin' Ali-I-I-I-ive.

You should be set for winter!

 

[mcgovern61]

I chopped a bit of wood in the past and always found a very cold winters day the best time to split wood! The wood practically splits itself!

I've never had the pleasure (yeah right) of splitting wood but I can appreciate the guys ingenuity.
Seems to work good.

I know you have serious timber Joe by your block splitter. When we used to burn wood at our old house I preferred it to be dead and dry so I didn't have to wait to burn it. Nothing worse than not hitting hard enough and then having to lift the log and the block splitter to complete your split ( then wishing that you had made the log smaller :smilie_happy: ) We built this house about 3 miles from our old house where we used to burn a box trailer of wood a week during winter ( helped get rid of all the dead crap on the 5 acres) and the new one is above the frost line so we no longer have a wood heater. Unfortunately we have heaps of good fire wood but no need for it. Nothing lets you know that you are still alive like splitting firewood by hand.. :yes:
And I must admit the wood in the video looked like you could split it easily with a tomahawk...

Yo Joe, I am impressed that you are doing it by hand. In a bar fight I want you on my side. Any place close by you could rent a splitter? Its amazing how much wood you can split in one day with one. How cold do winters get where you live?

 

[joedrum]

last year it got below 0 a few times but the kicker was the winter lasted so long ... in my day tuna i could make a log splitter look like it was broke down.....

I think the key phrase is "in my day". Hydraulics is a beautiful thing, especially for us fossil types. Might be cheaper than the Ben-Gay costs.

 

[joedrum]

i go at my own pace and have the time to do so ... ive played worked sweating hard all my life ... and enjoy being tuned as possible

 

[joedrum]

sheesh nice cool day today out to the wood splitter for me ..... been kinda hot lately ....not sure the coolness will last to long today ....

i am hoping to get close to done with the big pile in the pic behind house ... then get another load LOL :doh:
