as much as I love the video. I want some of these guys to chops some real wood, like oak :) Those soft woods are like butter compared to the stuff that we have to chop in the midwest.
When I watch these guys banging thru poplar, birch and ceder, I lol to myself. Here, give this Live Oak a shot. And please, watch for the overstrikes. I just put a new handle on it.
My dad thought wood cutting/splitting was good for me as it taught me to overcome! Those 24 inch Pinion stumps that had to be attacked with 2-3 wedges and a 16 lb sledge hammer were my enemies to conquer. I imagined they were all sorts of things from the bully boys at school to wild beasts! It took about 20 minutes per chunk to get them to stove wood size. I made my boys do it the same way but after they left home I got a hydraulic wood splitter! Ha!
@@venomlink2033 He is cutting birch. I find that birch is even easier to split when it is fresh and moist. So basically this guy is making things harder for himself by letting the logs dry out so much.
Yes it is a nice sound. But I find that fresh birch is easier to split. It's like butter. You hardly need to use any power at all. Feels like just staring the log hard enough would split it.
Birch is a fun wood to split as it grows straight and tall and has few knots. Honestly, it would be more effort trying to choose logs that are hard to split than not.
Pretty good. To make it faster and to be able to keep going at that pace, add a car tyre to your block. Saves all the up 'n' down picking up stray pieces. Crack-on thunder-guns!
Ah, the good old days. I loved doing that when it was about - 15F and no wind. You might try this though. Screw an old tire on the top of that (laying it on it's side) and you can split faster cuz you won't have to constantly clear and pick up pieces.
These men are so impressive. And I bet they've been developing those muscles all their lives. I starting trying to split wood at 65 (female) - no bueno, lol. But I wish ALL teenagers would get out and work like this more, instead of hunched down over video games 8 hrs a day. We might have a lot less mental health problems and chronic illness in modern society.
@@werst12345 Hard part is so many spaces have been destroyed by industry - hard to go chop wood when the nearest healthy trees are two hours out of town. Can't play in grass when the only empty lots are full of broken glass and used needles. Can't go outside when the addicts and aggressive homeless are all hanging around. We've destroyed so much in pursuit of a dollar, the only places left to enjoy are of our own making - books, games, movies, etc where the world isn't a polluted, socially dystopian mess.
@@stevewilliams2498I second that. He is splitting birch. From my own experience birch is easiest to split within few weeks of felling. But yes most birch species grow long and straight with long sections without branches. So yes, it is a fun tree to split even when it is dry.
oh man I wish we could could do that here in Australia, most of our stuff the axe just bounces off, I love pine though, easy to split, burns hot and fast.
Powerful technique. Beside that the wood is easy. No matter how good you are in splitting, there always wood who doesn't want to split. Greetings Gerrit
I think this is the very last channel telling people how life is simple. No "top 10 axes", "best technique to make firewood", man up, bring a sharp axe and do the job.

As a beginner czcams.com/users/postUgkxlg1H4xyrEBR03VoimQHdPx6Ebmzrr0nO I was looking for a manual that would walk me through the basics with detailed instructions and this book does just that. The book caters to both the beginner and more experienced DIY enthusiast with builds varying in complexity, from straightforward projects such as the one we've completed, to more ambitious builds. Absolutely on trend, with instructions on how to install solar panels, green roofs and sweet chestnut shakes - It's given me lots of ideas for future projects!
I’m approaching my 50’s and my Day is in his 80’s. I split all my wood by hand…. My dad still does too. There are quicker ways to do things but like a good pint of Guinness certain things are worth the wait👍🏻☘️
Well, the simple solution is to pay attention and to not be an idiot. I've split wood for 30+ years in all manner of configurations: On the ground, on high stumps, on low stumps, whatever. Never had a single accident. Never as in ever. You just have to maintain your focus on whatever it is you are doing. Once your focus starts slipping, stop and take a break. Then resume.
Well if you live in Northern Europe, like this guy in the video does, birch wood is the best choice for firewood as it burns clean, is easy to split and is readily available. Like many trees in these latitudes most birch species grows long and straight with branches higher up in the tree. So there are long straight sections with no knots. My tip is to split the tree within couple of weeks from felling as it is even easier to split when it is wet. Even the knots are fairly easy to split when the wood is moist.
The video with a buff gigachad splitting logs in a scenic landscape is definitely for ladies, but I bet the subscriber base is all men interested in traditional (northern-)european architecture and crafts.
These machines are amazing. They run on very little food and last for decades.
😆😆😆😆😆
Results may vary... Terms and conditions apply.
Hahaha😂😂
Nope yer wrong…you don’t get a machine like that without feeding it well both in quality and quantity!
Joints are a pain in the knee to replace though :(
This is incredible. Next, we'll have ships powered by wind and transportation that's fueled by Hay and carrots! :D

@@1neAdam12they can’t. Cause there are no burger kings, ninja warrior tv’s and no lazy boy recliners where they’re from.
Oak generally isn’t wasted as firewood in the Baltics
Why would you use decent hardwood as firewood. Pine grows fast and straight. You just need to burn it hot.

same, two young guys then saner fot it!
Must be nice to have nice straight-grained wood to split. I have nothing but stringy nasty oak to split where I live. lol
Wow that is some beautiful straight grained wood.
Nothing better than that!
Exactly! I wonder how this machine would cope with some crooked pieces. I hate that kind of logs!
And dry too
❤❤❤❤❤p

Best machine EVER made right there! :) ❤
Absolutely right! That is the way to do it! I find it a great stress relief program!
I too have mastered the axe. Been swinging it since i could remember. In the 80s, on Navajo land, no one used heaters. Today, still the same. ✊️
I have one of these machines too, it also loads the stoves and cuts down the dead standing timber.
I just love the sound of seasoned birch splitting...so satisfying.

No car tyre equals more exercise equals more muscle. Comfort is for the weak.
My Viking brethren. Thank you for reminding me.
we need more videos on this channel !

I did that. It is absolutely sublime.
Nah. Pick those pieces up and get some well needed exercise.
You may not realize how valuable times like these are.

I'm sure a lot more of them would, if their parents gave them an outdoor space to play in rather than an xbox in a city apartment

Jesus that grain is straight as an arrow.
Looks like pretty clean dry wood he's splitting
Green wood can be much easier to split in my experience.

Comes with NO warranty only a promise of working sometimes. Happ Trails
Put the wood inside a tire before splitting. It won't fall over, and you can move your thumb away from danger.
Nice, easy splitting...that's a good time & sweet lil workout!!💪😎👍
That's so manly. I'm growing chest hair just looking at this.
I can watch hard work all day.
One bit of advice. An axe blade should never go below the level of your knees. Four stitches later I learned the reason for that rule.
seems like he knows what he is doing
Yeah, this is definitely one of those guys who never makes mistakes. And I’ll be here to laugh at him when he takes a couple fingers off.

@@fizzlebug Tell the surgeon I said “hi”.
@@arlingtonhynes You are just projecting your own insecurities onto others. Learn to handle a tool well instead and grow some self confidence.
Good classic work 👍
Любо дорого смотреть😁👍👍👍
Nice axe!!!!!
I feel like this dude does not suffer from depression...
Is the 6 pack coming as an option or standard feature?
I like that, air cooled, self fueled. But, will it pollute the atmosphere? You never know.
The elite climate change hoax will have you believe that in fact it will pollute the atmosphere.
depends on what you feed it
Хороший топор!!😁
I need to get me one of those. Or two ...
You picked the straightest grained wood just for the video, didn’t you? 🙂
Exactly, give him a couple pieces of beech and see how he does
@@wizewoods9130 Yeah, or some oak or wild cherry wood pieces. That would not be this spectacular.
@@TheRavenD and throw in a random piece of over-aged cottonwood. Its like trying to split a sponge, axe goes in to the handle and sticks.
@@Vikingwerk yup... That old cottonwood bites back... Seen one eat an iron wedge once.

In the right circumstances these machines are self-replicating too.
10 out of 10😮
It’s a great work out also
This is an oddly satisfying video....
Damn, where can I get one?
Seems very handy & strongly high in quality!...
Try doing this with Australian timbers. ;-)
You mean something like Queensland kauri? Shouldn´t be a problem 😆
Birch looks good for sheilas
Zelo gozje topor 💪💪💪👍👍👍
A sharp axe, dry birchwood and THE machine.
What model of Billnas or Kelokoski is this? First thought was between 16 or 32 models...
Genius.
fucking thing of beauty.
👍👌👏 The axe with the wide blade and relatively short handle seems to work pretty great. Self forged?
I'd like to order 2 of these
I’d like to see you try red oak.
That axe!!!!!
There's another kind of self powered machine that washes the dishes.
I feel like he doesn't even workout. He just eats healthy and works hard
Oh you mean the ax...
Now, give that man some hickory.
Nice. Now try this with beech.
Finnish axe for the win perkele 🇫🇮
That must be some really dried out wood for it to split so easily.
It is birch. I find that birch splits easier when it is freshly cut and still contains moisture.

Damn this guys an animal
try inserting logs into the tire
Got some twisted white oak I'd like to see that machine split without a splitter 😅
Twisted maple can wear the machine out pretty quick, lube is needed 😂
Where does one get an axe like that?
What a wonderful invention ❤❤
This guy:
The Lumberjack Games? Never heard of her
My hero my nanny could chop that straight grain wood , try some australian hardwood
What's he making? Kindling??
The multi tool lol
Firewood heats you twice they say.
Look like the wood we use to make matches,.
May I choose the wood
A car tyre and a pickaron makes a difference here...;)
price?
that's how it's done
And that's how we take care of that.
Easy peasy.
Next time can you sing us a song when you are done?
Yea my model doesn't look like that
Fulfilling days
ok thats cool but maybe try doing it with GASOLINE and ELECTRICITY
💪💪💪
Guessing he doesn't care for light beer. :)
👍Kellokoski or Billnäs?
Holy sheep shit batman we gottah get one of those for the cave.
I know able bodied people who legit use chainsaws to split logs. This ironically takes 10 times longer.
