Looks like a nice processing area. I split a whole lot for many years by hand until the body told me it was time to get hydraulics.
I think maybe these other guys missed your point Splitting some wood by hand definitely does relieve some stress been there done that You can even picture a certain person's face on top of the wood if that's the case and stay out of jail
Not that I'm usually very stressed, but anything I do with my wood de-stresses me. Just walking around my stacks with a coffee in the morning, or gassing up the saw will do the trick. Anyone who rides a Harley Davidson (or any bike) and plays with a chain saw, has no need to see a therapist.
That is MAC!!!! I wish I lived closer I'd love to help ya, especially if ya got a fire goin' while we're workin'!
Yup, same thing here. Decades of splitting by maul. Both neighbors walked over and said I need to take a break while I was splitting one year. Must've sounded like a steam locomotive! Took their advice and probably lived longer......
