    Goofing around with "Jump Cuts" yesterday. Still loving the Fiskars Isocore!



    Song is my old band, "The Nohellers" I was playing drums...

    Oh yeah - did I mention that I HATE HATE HATE boxelder maple? If you watch until near the end you'll know why.

    Wow, what a drama! Great job mate. I would highly recommend the splitting block and tire system though, saves time and energy.

    I will experiment with that at some point. Right now I am working harder not smarter because it is also my fitness but in a few years when the novelty wears off I will mess with that!

    I like how the rounds and splits magically show up to be split! Magic wood

    Isocore exceeded expectations and the hammer side is great too. Handle really does absorb all the shock.

    My footage was exactly one hour long. So that averages out to 5 swings a minute then. FWIW I included every swing, whether it was a "good one" or not.
