Taras I've been liking you recent vlogs lately, keep up the good work man
Never split from the dry side of the log, go always to the fresh side (that you just cut with the chain saw).

Tako je -that's right
Thanks for the video! Those are some big rounds of wood, and the wedge makes the job so much easier. This saved me tons of time and effort.
I have had great success with the blue eastwing wedge, but I have to be able to start a groove with the winged maul that is your favorite one. I have hear the tips break off of the spiral wedges. I assume you could just grind it to a point again. I also always use some kind of a base under the rounds, it allows you to transmit energy to the round much more efficiently.
This was an excellent video. I learned from it. Thank you for posting this.
"I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK, I sleep all night and I work all day, I cut down trees, I eat my lunch......" Hey Taras, do you know anybody in British Columbia? Just kidding. Doesn't take long to sweat bullets when cutting fire wood. Even for a tall manly man like you. Keep up the AWESOME videos my friend!!!
Use TWO wedges on big stuff. On hardwood, like this oak. *Eye AND ear protection.* Split on hard ground (easier splitting), on the cut stump, or move log there. You can use a 4lb hammer to set wedge in wood, then switch to 8-10 lb sledge hammer. The colder the air temp, the easier the splitting. Fully seasoned wood -- the bark falls off. Never try to split green wood. What type of oak? Red, black?
Awesome! I'm going to pick up some wedges this week! Thanks Taras!!!!
I find it satisfying just watching u chop logs plz do more
It may be easier to split the word if it's on a harder surface. The wall may be bouncing off the ground reducing the amount of pressure the mall or the log splitter is placing on the wood
pretty cool aa
I honestly love these kind of videos keep making log videos
Looks great my friend. Wedges and safety glasses. Great work. Thanks
Love your videos Taras keep up the great work
It’s a tough piece of wood for sure. More strategy with the wedge. Wedge placement can work magic. Good video. Thank you.
Great

you also use the maul to get a indentation in the wood toward the outside of the log then put the wider wedge in and then work your way in to the center
0:09 Wood Grenade! The best one I have ever owned! Align the wedges with the wind shake. They are natural fractures in the wood. It will aid you in splitting.
Yasss Finally Early!! Keep up the good work Taras!!
When i watch you i remember my dad taras i love you sooo mush
the reason taras likes the diamond one more is because that one goes with the grain more than the blue one, he's putting the blue one perpandicular to the grain
I love this guys videos
Nice job. Thank you so much.
Love the vids I watch all three of your channels keep it up
have you tried using the splitting maul with the grain?
Wow, they work great!..
Even though I'll never buy most of the gadgets you show us because I'm still young i love watching your videos, they are so interesting and kul.
You can also use them to get long staves to make bows. You split a long trunk lengthwise with several of those.
This is so satisfying
where are you getting all this wood? are you felling the trees as well?
nice work taras

Great video Taras! You rock!
those splitting veggies are awesome.
why is log splitting just so satisfying
You covered all the possibilities.Спасибо из Греции , друг.
What kind of Hearing Protection do you use? sledges and chainsaws can greatly damage hearing.
Hotel? Boom
Very satisfying
Where can I buy splitting vedges ?
Thank you sir God bless you! 🙋🙏
So satisfying
Boom coool how cool is that
That does look exhausting work.. But you got to collect fireword for yourself on the winter... that's important.... by the way.. im from Victoria Australia.. we've just come from winter and spring is just beginning.... great work taras. !
Cool
Now that's one way to get a work out! 💪👍
Thank you... that was a big help..
love you Taras
I actually split a trunk that big one time with only a small hatchet. I basically used the hatchet as a splitting wedge like in this video, and it worked just as well. I ended up totally busting the handle, but it still got the job done in the end 😂

AMAZING -taras kul
Wege is quick start. Take the power saw and strip a notch in the log. 👍
What kind of tree is taht? I like the orange color of the wood.
I always enjoyed using a splitting wedge when I was cutting the rounds.
Taras, you're hitting that wood perpendicular to the radius. You need to hit it parallel with the radius. I know wood can sometimes get so hard that you bounce off. What kind of wood is that?
I use most of these tools every winter
I made a Meestake! That's why he's the best !
What type of wood ???
Good workout
Awesome video C.R.H!
@taras kul Hit the wood at the natural cracks from when you cut it with the saw
Good job taras
what type of tree was that ????
Wow you really got your exercise today. Find a comfortable chair and a cold drink.
What a workout you gave yourself with these tools, and a very stubborn chunk of wood.
Taras was it intentional that you used the axe against the grain and the mauls with the grain?
Chain saw can be used for this also right? Just asking
What a legend puts all of his fails in there BOOM

linda benson okey. thank. have a good day🙏🏻👍😅
0:49 " I would have to hit on it it all day"😂😂😂
I like this kinds of videos
You should do some metal detecting!! that would be an awesome video
Do it on a hard flat surface its unstable and bouncing off the grass
If you look for cracks and hit those, you can split most big logs.
You should get a product called - Chainsaw Buddy. Try also a Log Horse, and or a Log Saw Horse. Very cool products.
I just bought the blue wedge today and it's hella easier than using an ax or maul. Used with a 3# sledgehammer and it got through twisted, knotty maple wood. Might pick up the diamond-shaped wedge, too. Looks useful.
Have two of the 4 sided wedge, two does come in handy.
i see you listened to my advice about sliding the hand on the handle, it's much easier to lift when you hold it closer to the axe head
👍👍to much work like my electric one for those heavy logs ! Lol
03:07 " And the second one, put it in the crack " Taras kul 2017
