I love the handle. Nice and skinny and thin while being very agronomical. There’s this trend with knives and axes the last few years of overbuilding them at the expense of exellent usability.
This is actually my personal axe. It’s about 19mm at its thinnest and fits my hand well. I recently used this handle I made and had it replicated and they will be available in the next couple weeks. The production handles are 21mm but that lets people thin them if they prefer.
Haha. I am not a fan of mauls personally. They have such narrow bits heel to toe and tend to lead to overstrikes. More of a fan of a axe with a nice wide bit and some fat cheeks (still talking about the axe🤣🤣🤣) But everyone has their preferences and techniques. This certainly wasn’t meant to be the Bible for splitting.
My god it would take forever with your method. And, I’m letting sure that’s a felling axe. And having your wood elevated takes out half of your swing. Homeboy has been watching too many Bradley Thoren TikTok’s
Oh man. I don’t know this guy but sounds like you and he have some history 🥰. No judgement, I am sure it was a painful breakup. Luckily half my swing is still twice a normal man’s 💪🏼
@@ThelittleMoinobody believes that. You spend too much time on TH-cam looking at what other men are doing, and starting up conversations with them. Look I am flattered but I am married, to a woman. Not judgement, you do you 👍🏼
@@ThelittleMoi Too funny. Not sensitive at all. I do try to be empathetic towards online trolls though. It's really a sad confessional for them. You see comments are engagement. I am paid to do it 😀 and you're helping. The more engagement the more views and the more views the more revenue. Before being monetized I would've never imagined people spent time being negative, arguing, or just being sad on here. I just never was on youtube. I have hobbies and activities I like to do that don't involve comment sections haha, especially with strangers. I couldn't imagine spending one minute of time writing a comment about someone's size (6'5" 250lbs for the record) or critiquing them unless I was being paid for my time, which now I am. So it's worth some of my time. Oh yeah one more for you ❤️ Thanks for the engagement 💰
It is kinda what the comment section is for this kinda turned my mind bro. If you take your rage out in real life there will consequences, sometimes serious ones, but we can come here or there and yell at guy for not being perfect. Good? I think probably, but I have no idea, it ain't good to express anger without restraint. Weird world, thanks for perspective
Yeah. It was meant as a joke but it is often my experienced reality. Having posted for a couple years now I get all kinds of comments. Unfortunately a ton of those are negative but the majority are positive. It never ceases to amaze me the people that spend the time on the negative stuff 🤷🏻♂️. Seems so small and a waste of time and energy.
If you use slightly more power that would blow apart along as your not hitting all over the show. My grandad used to draw lines on the logs for me to practice on just as a tip.
Maybe. It’s a freshly cut birch tree and the bark is holding the round together quite nicely. The video wasn’t about my swinging performance. It was just to mention a few considerations I use for splitting. Certainly wasn’t stating this is the only way or that I am a world class axeman.
Good advice, but to add to it, wear proper footwear, and use a splitting axe/maul. The profile is thicker for splitting, and will not bury into wood like an axe is designed to.
Thank you for these tips!
I'm still a beginner on woodcutting skills and i always learn so much from your video's!
You're welcome! Just a few considerations, there are a lot of ways to do things. The journey is the thing 👍🏼
Bro this is leveling up my real life skill for woodcutting
Great. It’s just a few things to think about. A lot of people have their own preferred ways.

number one tip, not mentioned, use the fvcking maul that's sitting there

Good tips
Great, hope they were useful 👍🏼
Very nice! I would use this method but for someone my size I need a 8 pound Mual just to get a crack in wood😂
Hey whatever works. Wasn’t so much an equipment video more just a couple of things to consider around splitting. Thanks for watching
@@StumptownAxes👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
You don't have to get your rage out of your life 'on every swing' is the key part I took away lol
Hahaha. I mean you can still get it out, just not on the wood 🤣🤣
@@StumptownAxes 🤣

@@ThelittleMoioh man. I only took a little longer? I’ll take that as a compliment. Clearly it was a race and I lost but just by a little….

Tip 1..
Don't stand with legs in the 'miss' zone

Sure there’s always things to add. That’s what the comment section is for! 😀 It’s too tempting for folks not to add additional wisdom 😉
Its not rage just retention that needs release ❤😂🎉💀🤣🕶🔥
🤣
@@StumptownAxes glad to make you laugh 🤣
Amazing simply amazing… I imagine the targeted audience must be… well undefined.
Not sure what exactly that means but that’s for watching and commenting 👍🏼
Oh no hes hot 🔥
🤣
Mauls are for splitting wood, and when I need to relive stress it’s the mad pile , the knottiest of knottiest pieces that gave me problems!
Well to each their own 👍🏼 thanks for watching
