Ben, you are a legendary axe man

Great demonstration on a gnarly log...almost more entertaining than the comments section!🤣

You gonna have to cut a shedload of those wedges to split any quantity and it looks like a kot of hard work. But I guess if you're stuck outside with only a small axe...

Yeah thats the point. If you have a large volume to split then get a maul, axe and proper splitting wedges. But in a pinch you can split some pretty large and knarly logs with just a hatchet

I love doing that “trick” when camping with my family. It’s like magic to them and they watch in disbelief.

Nice !

Knowledge is power 👏👏👍

Ah the lowely wedge,, the fundamental tool.

Good stuff, go the Stihl hatchet! Beasty little axe

Ive never seen or hear of an axe eye being damaged by driving wood wedges, hitting 2 axes or with a steel hammer is damaging though

No thanks im not getting hit in the face buy the business end of an axe, Ill just use the cut log of wood to wack the axe in or better yet, use a mallet

Hmm do you hit yourself in the face with a claw hammer when driving nails too? Sounds like a skill issue to me
