Dropped the saw off for a tweaking so I have a day or two to split. Yesterday's load was still in the truck so I started to unload, split, and stack... Roll the rounds off the truck and on to the splitting stump. Then pick up the splits and stack. KaptJaq
Got your gym workout equipment stacked close to the stacking location. Relaxing times ! Brings back memories Nice tough stump splitting base , at a slight angle ! That an 8 lb maul ?
Exactly what bogydave said. The round in the pic about to come down the ramp is a monster and then I see a splitting maul and no hydraulic splitter. Your a brave man KaptJaq .
That stump was cut off a tree that toppled in a tornado about 10 years ago. Small twister but it made a path between a couple of houses and only broke a few windows. You can still see the path today, no trees. My wood area is on the side of a hill and the angles on the stump almost match the slope. The round on the stump is almost perfectly vertical. There is enough of a slope on the stump to compensate for my crooked bucking... Yes, 8 pound maul. The rounds were a little big. I also had some wedges and a 6 pound sledge. KaptJaq
That's why I have the ramp out. If they were little 20" rounds I would have carried them off the truck... KaptJaq
There were six from the trunk like that one and a few smaller rounds from a large branch in this load. When I can't split with a maul anymore I'll get hydraulics and a gym membership... KaptJaq
Don't know, can't count that high and I run out of fingers & toes... I split from 3" to about 6" splits so it varies but probably between 15 & 20. KaptJaq
HA HA I can still split with a maul, just hurts for a few weeks/months afterwards LOL Getting old ain't for wimps
