    Your froe is for splitting shingles from softwood like cedar or pine. You can find instructions on TH-cam as to how it's done. It's an enormous amount of work.

    A froe is a carpentry tool. It's not really for splitting firewood. When you use the right tool for the wrong job, you get your experience here.

    The wood will split easier if you say "Okie Dokie" before you swing the ax.

    that tool is a shingle froe, you use it to split wood into shingles, not for firewood processing. Although the remnants of shingle making can be used for kindling.

    If you had found a real Froe instead of an Amazon fake, it would have been different. A Froe designed to split off planks from a log. But one made from spring steel and a real baton would surprise you.

    The little thing you hit with the small mallet is a froe, it's used to split wood more accurately for woodworking. Means you dont have to spend as long making the piece square

    Every one of Tyler's videos has a ton of people saying he's doing something wrong. While it may be true, he's a normal dude. Normal people are gonna end up doing the same things as they haven't worked in the field like everybody who leaves comments does, normal people are watching Tyler's reviews. I think y'all need to cut him some slack.

  • @JohnnyRebLa

    I've seen that star shaped wedge before and thought the same as you at first but i think it's just like a splitting axe with the fins on the side to help spread. I think the last one with the wood mallet is a shake or shaker axe something like that i assume for wood shingles

    The thing with the long blade is called a maul and it is used to split wood along the grain, IE between the rings, if you try and split across the rings they don't work. They are primarily a very old carpentry tool.

    5:05 - I know the meme is we all tell Tyler he's not doing something right and that's why it's not working, and I'm gonna be that guy now, you need to hit on all spots ACROSS the round. You wanna be making contact with all of the solid parts, not just the parts you've already cracked. Those parts absorb SO much impact and leave you wasting a ton of energy. As soon as you see that crack, hit the round on the complete opposite end and you might crack that sucker in 2 swings

  • @hakheoyeh

    I worked with such one, was big fun. Best thing: You can split wood on a concrete floor and you will never hit the floor. Obviously you will have *better* results on a quite hard underground...

    • @hakheoyeh
      @hakheoyeh วันที่ผ่านมา

      Pro-Tip: If you cracked a log good enough, use a wedge to finish, otherwise you will unnecessarily put a lot of force on the spring-mechanism.

    The only minus i can see for the splitting axe would be the fact it throws the logs far apart, you have to go bend over and grab them all around the chopping block, and there's always question, how long are the spring loaded parts gonna last?
