Great video! Might do one of these blocks for myself as right now I'm using a block that is around my knees when it comes to height and me back is killing me every time!
Thanks, so much easier with the right height of chopping block, good for safety as well. If standing and using a low block, really watch out for glancing axe blows as the natural arc could miss the block and go into the leg. Stay safe and all the best👍
@@mark.a.cornish Thanks for answering! Sorry for what may seem like dumb questions…I’m in the US so it’s much less restricted here. I assume you’re in the UK somewhere? Do you have to pay for the weekend like a timeshare? Is it a friend’s land who lets you use it? Beautiful spot with lots of resources, I’m guessing that’s hard to come by. Good for you and nice work! Cheers from America and a fellow spoon carver!
@@asmith7876 Yes Uk, and also yes have to pay per night. Its a private wood but Local bushcraft group have access to it one weekend a month. While I might look solitary in my little corner of the wood, there is a lively bunch cooking and sharing skills at the other end. I am making my video`s and also being as social as I can with the group. One day will do a tour round the wood, everyone has their own little spot and very interesting to see what they have built or not built, its like a little hobbit village really and the owners love walking through and seeing what we are up to. 😄

@@mark.a.cornish Sounds well worth the money for such access. Have fun and thanks for educating me. I’d love to visit the UK someday.
What diameter was your auger?
It was 1 1/4", so about 32mm. You can go larger for extra strength but have found going smaller makes the legs a bit weak.
