    I go to the gym to, but I’d much rather make firewood!

    Picture is kinda funny. Looks like his swing is angled like chopping, chips are flying like chopping but the wood is being spit. :sherlock:

    And none of the wood - that he stacks against his log cabin - is split...

    I noticed that too. And he’s using a chopping axe with a 18 inch handle

    I decided to go to The Oaks Gym after The Bucks put a whoopin on that team up north, sliced (5) 16" rounds off the down 30" OD log, noodled a good notch in each, then quartered them with help from the Fiskar brothers.
    Might produce a face cord in total?
    Not bad for an hours work...I tried to keep after it the whole time, as to keep my heart rate up the whole time, like a "real" workout at the gym. Figured it'd be a good idea after the way I ate the last few days! Plus doc has been encouraging me to be more regular with a strenuous workout too...ugh.
    Oh well, more trigger time in the woods...plus come home smelling like Oak n 2 stroke :thumbs:

    I'm almost to the point where I might steer away from anything 30" at this point in my life. But that stuff makes an awful lot of splits!
    Also, I'd like to nominate "The Oaks Gym" to the FHC dictionary. Cracked me up for some reason.
