Handy Don 12,214 #28 Posted March 3, 2023 When I was a younger fellow and maul-splitting a couple of cords annually, someone showed me that balancing a big round on top of a 3 or 4” diameter branch gave the round room to “fall open” and concentrated the force of my maul onto a single line. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If only I could lift that behemoth onto a smaller log! I’ll try some leverage on the next one. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,836 #30 Posted March 4, 2023 @Handy Don give me a day of four to recover (EB and BBT and I worked out on Zoom too tonight!) and I’ll try your small log trick on the round right next to this one. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

8ntruck 6,998 #35 Posted March 4, 2023 (edited) Might be my old age and wisdom (?), but I'd have started to look for a different method (saw) after the axe bounced out after 1 or 2 hits. Then again, you youngsters got to go and prove a point..... Edited March 4, 2023 by 8ntruck 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I were trying to prove a point, I’d be attempting to pick the stupid thing up. Today, a I just got a good solid workout.

953 nut 55,191 #39 Posted March 4, 2023 Can't quite believe it, watched Kevin for 12 minutes, 22 seconds and no brandades or trips to the ER. That may well be a new record @Pullstart 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,836 #40 Posted March 4, 2023 And as a bonus, @953 nut I lasted another 9 or so minutes without injury to take care of the rest! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
