Default Learning to chop wood.
Today I have learned to chop and take bark off the wood with a hatchet.

I feel so good.

Ah yeah, Now I am not going to need to buy wood anymore. Unless it's from Bert.

Thanks Geoff,

First of all sir, I am going to finish the birch up before I get any more.


And secondly what's a maul? and a wedge?

I think I have a good idea what a wedge is.

Maul and wedge = the right tools for the job.

You probably know this, but you're not really chopping wood, you're just trying to split a log. Did you manage to split that log with the hatchet? How many times did the hatchet hit the sidewalk?

Thank you Ron, I've managed to split the log, It took about 15 to 20 times. And thank you for being nice about it man. I really appreciate that. And I will learn to do it properly.

And thank you for the youtube video.

I bought an electric splitter for 275.00 including shipping on line. That might be the way to go Derek.

No beer when operating this thing. It does a great job, and no strains and sprains
