New swing technique

this guy has it going on and sure knows how to split some oak.

skip to 5:15 to see the mega out-of-the-park-splitting machine.

 

Love the truck and the haul too! I hope that he's really carefull with his back though.

 

No kidding, there's no way I'm picking up a round like that just to weigh it, I like my back.

 

looks like it was on ice at that .. whewwww

 

Pretty strange method. Seems like there's lots of videos where people make processing firewood even harder than it already is

 

No chit... talk about wearing yourself out in three swings.... lol

 

You can tell he was like "well chit, I thought that was gonna work"

 

Back in my younger days when I was surveying, I would drive 4"steel property bars into the ground with a 16 lb sledge hammer and I would do it with a continuous windmill swing. I'm pretty sure my technique looked a hell of a lot better than this guys....or at least I'm hoping

I wish I could still do that but considering I sprained my shoulder last night coaching hockey, and I'm 20 years older, I think those days are well behind me now

 

So is that the cut, split and burn method. Way to wear yourself out.

 

Truly bizarre swing. Not such a great idea slipping around on ice, either.
Seen the one on YouTube who backs up & runs at the round with a maul? Darwin's List stuff.
Maybe if he'd put an edge on that maul. C'mon, that many swings in frozen red oak?
Degree-of-difficult does not earn you points in wood splitting.

 

I know a friend who does the full circle swing like that. Not me. If too difficult, log splitter time.

 

My thought as well. It literally doesnt get any easier than that when it comes to splitting wood

 

I feel tried just watching him waste his energy
And who stands on ice while splitting wood that's just asking to get hurt

 

What you see there is someone who will have sciatica by age 40 and who will get diagnosed with a herniated disk soon after that.

 

That's evolution. Weeding out the stupid ones can only make the gene pool smarter

 

Yea when I was 23 I worked for the rail road swinging a spike maul all day on tracks.
But I am 64 now and when older you do not work harder but work smarter.
I bought a splitter. Problem solved.

 

That's away to low out your pants an back hense the term work smarter not harder.

 

Good lawd...that boy gonna hurt himself

 

Stupid is stupid does.

 

It hurts my shoulders watching that guy swing that club
