You are super clear and concise with these explanations love it thank you.
Thank you!!! I was just looking for ways to split boards for making a cabin when I stumbled across your videos. I had never heard of a Froe but I'll definitely be keeping my eye out at sales for one now!
Great video with very useful instructions
What a boss. Thanks for the snippet!
You're welcome Andrew! Hope to see you soon.
Thank you.
Merci pour le partage ...from France :)
Vous êtes les bienvenus!
This video rules, thanks.
I'll have to make a riving break like that too. Very simple.
Cool!!! :)
Good information here. I just bought myself a froe and this video will save me a lot of mistakes.
Glad it helped Bill!
First video of yours I have watched, loved it! Keep up the good work!
Welcome to the channel...hope you visit our website, with many more videos & articles!
I'm stuck between getting a Froe and a Nata. What are your thoughts on either? Both? I'm a newbie so I'm inexperienced with each of the tools and I've only just started discovering them.
I was trigered at this moment 4:32
watchout when u throw a piece of wood like that !! 🤨🤨😁😁
This piece of wood maybe look not dangerous but ... watchout ur legs !
Ty for this tutorial !
thanks for the video. "not osha approved". lol. interesting that you can control the path of the split. i'm not sure i understand the physics/principle of how this works. i would have figured that once the split started it was beyond your control.
Hi, I know this is an old comment but as I understand it you are ripping away the bottom section from the top, which is mostly stationary, by radially moving the froe on the top which is the pivot point. He explains it at 3:40. :)
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❗️🌿
Is your froe sharpened on both my new swed. froe is sharpened on both sides
No usually a froe is only sharp on one side because you have to hit one side.
Can a froe split dried hardwood as well?
Yes.
Please sharpen your froe 😱, good video thank you
No need for him to sharpen his froe. It's a wedge. Actually, a gritty wedge works better than a sharp wedge.
Wood and Shop is this truly correct ?
I bought an old one today,I turn a handle tomorrow,and then the blade...
My plan was to make it a VERY heavy razor blade....
I’m guessing that’s a bad idea !?!?
A froe is a splitting tool rather than a cutting tool so I think you loose rather than gain from over sharpening it - but try it both ways and do what suits you!
@@andrewgarratt5191 Late to the party, but you won't keep your edge. And it may end up damaging it once you wack it. Seems weird because we are so used to sharp tools as a goal.
It's like a splitting axe. They really don't need to be extremely sharp however if it is too dull it will slide easily when it is in place ready to be whacked. Sooo.... not too sharp and not too dull.
