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
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.
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
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?
Taras I've been liking you recent vlogs lately, keep up the good work man
Dude you weren't hitting with the grain that's why it didn't split
The chemistry Nerd ikr
FINALLY SOMEONE WHO KNOWS HOW TO CHOP WOOD !!!!
yeah lol. he was even saying that "we gotta go with the grain" and at the same time doing the opposite :D
The chemistry Nerd lol "again, you gotta go with the grain" proceeds to attempt splitting completely perpendicular to the grain
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
"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!!!
pretty cool aa
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.
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 honestly love these kind of videos keep making log videos
Yasss Finally Early!! Keep up the good work Taras!!
This was an excellent video. I learned from it. Thank you for posting this.
Great
Awesome! I'm going to pick up some wedges this week!
Thanks Taras!!!!
Love your videos Taras keep up the great work
I find it satisfying just watching u chop logs plz do more
"This is why you need safety"
Wears rubber boots
:)
My wellies have steel toe caps
It’s a tough piece of wood for sure. More strategy with the wedge. Wedge placement can work magic. Good video. Thank you.
have you tried using the splitting maul with the grain?
Looks great my friend. Wedges and safety glasses. Great work. Thanks
You can also use them to get long staves to make bows. You split a long trunk lengthwise with several of those.
What kind of Hearing Protection do you use? sledges and chainsaws can greatly damage hearing.
why is log splitting just so satisfying
I love this guys videos
When i watch you i remember my dad taras i love you sooo mush
In Soviet Russia Wedges split you.
David D in mother russia
miguel pires its soviet
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.
where are you getting all this wood? are you felling the trees as well?
Hotel?
Boom
Do it on a hard flat surface its unstable and bouncing off the grass
What kind of tree is taht? I like the orange color of the wood.
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?
Love the vids I watch all three of your channels keep it up
1:15 nothing, nothing, nothing, UGHH I am just exhausting mah self for nading over hear" -Taras
YaBoiMiguel d
nice video, but for most of us hmm... useless
Gophy why did you watch it then. Most the people watching will find it helpful
nice work taras
Chain saw can be used for this also right? Just asking
This is so satisfying
Great video Taras! You rock!
What type of wood ???
It appears that the pointed splitting wedge is better than the chiseled one because it has a better equilibrium when driven in the log.
Wow, they work great!..
Awesome video C.R.H!
what time are over there right now? in my country it 6 am right now.
linda benson okey. thank. have a good day🙏🏻👍😅
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.
Very satisfying
Where can I buy splitting vedges ?
Taras was it intentional that you used the axe against the grain and the mauls with the grain?
wedges are also used for the unskilled to be able to safely cut a tree and let drop in a certain direction
I use most of these tools every winter
Thank you... that was a big help..
where im from we use just 2 axes for it 1 as as splitting tool and 1 as a hammer
what type of tree was that ????
love you Taras
those splitting veggies are awesome.
If you look for cracks and hit those, you can split most big logs.
So satisfying
I like this kinds of videos
Cool
Boom coool how cool is that
What a legend puts all of his fails in there
BOOM
What kind of wood is that
Wege is quick start. Take the power saw and strip a notch in the log. 👍
Nice job.
Thank you so much.
Good job taras
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. !
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 😂
😂😂😂
0:49 " I would have to hit on it it all day"😂😂😂
can you tell me about your Gloves? Who buy you then?
What do yo do with the Wood,?
It's because you're hitting it in the center instead of the sides the splitting maul can do it from the side
Now that's one way to get a work out! 💪👍
For the big stumps you need that 8lb mual then use the 6lb for the smaller parts
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
I have split elm 4 times bigger than that, even if I use wedges its still hard.
You can also just buy or make a hydraulic wood splitter
Or rent.
Poor Taras better stay out of Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan. The way he handles the ax is painful to watch.
he has a wood splitter he has used it in past videos
right lol. Wisconsin ftw
my favorite survival CZcamsr makes his splitters with wood.
[TECHNOLOGIC] -_-
@taras kul
Hit the wood at the natural cracks from when you cut it with the saw
U make me happy taras😄
Love you💗💗💗💗👍
I always enjoyed using a splitting wedge when I was cutting the rounds.
Boom Luke at that
You should do some metal detecting!! that would be an awesome video
Good workout
Nice ;) I like how you are staying fit, with just your videos. I bet Hugo and Luke are doing the rest xD
👍👍to much work like my electric one for those heavy logs ! Lol
The "booms" make the video even better
AMAZING -taras kul
What a workout you gave yourself with these tools, and a very stubborn chunk of wood.
How many times did he say Boom this time? Feel like I didn't hear it.
You should get a product called - Chainsaw Buddy. Try also a Log Horse, and or a Log Saw Horse. Very cool products.
it is impressive how resistant is that log...
axe or spliting mode whatever you call it
Love the. Video
Have two of the 4 sided wedge, two does come in handy.
Make a video on how to sharpen the blades of an axe
Big thumbs up for Taras ;)
You are 1 cool dude
I made a
Meestake!
That's why he's the best !
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.
