      @Tzuede Off the Cuff I get that much lol. I split wood by hand so for that reason I personally try not to hit wet rounds. Aside from that, I was under the impression the sap would be more evenly distributed if it cures in rounds so to prevent the occasional fireplace burst.

    I am from Sweden, I think another advantage about stacking firewood around the tree, is that under a tree the soil is always drier, because of “root pressure” so you got less problems with rotten/damaged firewood close to the ground.

    • @BadgerMonkey
      @BadgerMonkey Před 2 lety

      I don't know what "root pressure" is, but leaves do keep light rainfall off the ground and things under the tree and the roots suck up water in the soil under the tree drying it more quickly. I like how he uses circular stacks - wood dries faster as the center works as a chimney. As the sun heats the wood the hot air rises from the center pulling fresh air through the wood, so I wonder if the covers keeping it dry negates that; it seems they should have a center hole to be most effective as they will heat up especially if black (they should just be like plates with a center hole and not full covers, in my opinion). Just watched to the end where he mentioned this.

      Find hardwood bigger than the stone. Make a template with the stone onto the wood, both sides, two pieces. Measure how Thick the stone is, divide by 2. That's how deep you want to chisel out the wood so the stone will fit. It will take some whittling, but it how it's always been done. Thank you gramps, RIP

    Fiberglass handles are great, until they start to fail from abuse, or weather. Then the glass fibers become almost as bad as Poison Ivy. I prefer wood, even when I miss the mark sometimes. That plastic around the fiberglass may be better, but I agree, the shape and grip of the handle count one heck of a lot.

    @wranglerstar, another great thing for breaking windows is an automatic center punch. It has to be one with a sharp point and decent spring, but I've seen tests where even ones with light springs just shatter cars windows and they're more controlled. You can look away without worrying about missing with an axe or swinging to hard and hitting an occupant when the glass breaks.

    i'm from Brazil. Here is pretty hard to find good axes, except for those bought from blacksmiths (for hundreds of dollars). I bought a hatchet in the same price range of this one, same head shape, and it had an awful handle aswell... But the head is hecking brutal, to be honest. I filed the edge to a 20 degree angle in both sides, then made a handle from eucalyptus (it's a pretty strong and lightweight wood, also very cheap), and started using it. I have it for 9 months now. Several camping trips with it, lot's of home carving and i have to say: This head is actually excellent. It holds the edge pretty well, you can make 3 camping trips, or so, using it non stop until you have to re sharpen it... For those who don't have the money to buy a Gransfors Bruk or even a Husqvarna this is a pretty good deal, just put some work on it and you'll be fine. ;)
    P.S.: The axe head is actually in a "hourglass" shape. The middle is thinner than the bottom and top, making it easy to put a wedge on.

      Wranglerstar....Don’t knock it, until you’ve tried it. I’ve done it once, and it worked. (I could’ve been lucky) I know you should be prepared, but when you have nothing, it’s better than unsuccessfully beating on a window with your fist. You should at least give it a try.

      No, for $20 buy a Vaughan & Bushnell half hatchet.
      It needs a reprofile but it's absolutely the best money can buy new for $20.
      Excellently treated American 1080 steel, a great bit profile, and you get an actual hardened hammer poll.

    I bought a hatchet in a bargain store in Surrey for £5.99. It was terribly soft steel with a nasty plastic handle, but it actually had quite a nice convex bevel. At the time I was living in a shack in the woods and it was winter. That hatchet needed a full resharpening virtually every time I used it, but it would take a serviceable edge for chopping and splitting wood. Anyway, the thing got me through to spring time because I treated it with love. The best hatchet in the world is always the one you got! That's the attitude you got to have, as I'm sure you probably know.

    You can get a Truper brand hatchet (made in Mexico) from Tractor Supply for less than $10 bucks and it's good carbon steel that'll take on a razor's edge. I keep one by my fireplace to split kindling and another in the toolbox of my pickup truck.

The next day my grandma called and said my grandpa was in the hospital. He was outside doing yard work and 4 people stopped by to help him up. He had heart surgery years ago, so hes on medicine. His heart was only working at 44%, he couldnt open his eyes anymore.
    They changed his medicine and kept him over night, hes back home now... doing yard work hours after his hospital release! I went by to help him out :)

    • @breakyoself83
      @breakyoself83 Před 3 lety +1

      Estwings are almost all hatchet- like, the biggest one they make is 26", the smaller ones are full tang. You can still get leather wrapped handles too but I believe they're varnished pretty hard these days

    • @breakyoself83
      @breakyoself83 Před 3 lety

      Also it's a misconception that you can't re-handle one of the larger hatchets/ small forest axes. The axes include a fairly large tang that extends into the composite handle, if you're familiar with knife craft it's fairly simple. Will it be as strong as the traditional full hickory? That all depends on the design you make, it could certainly still be a functional tool with a possibly shortened and wrapped wood or other material handle

    Fiskars hatchet requires fairly frequent resharpening, but seams like a match better option for ~$24. Better yet, pay $35 and get an Estwing sportsmen’s hatchet. Pretty good steel (1055) and a very tapered head. Good for splitting.

    Tried a hatchet in the woods for a few months; not too useful. A saw was a huge work saver compared to a hatchet. An axe is awesome, you can really clean up a tree fast with an axe, but a hatchet in the woods can be a real instrument of self-torture.
