I just invoked Benny Hill elsewhere in HMT.net; and now here he IS!
Maybe channeled him instead? Always confused about that.

That thing makes my Lickity Splitter look like a childs toy...

Why does the phrase "One false move" keep rattling around in my head. Even though it's slightly sped up, that blade would still take your hand without even a thank you.

While I liked his implementation of the capstan to hoist, it's an unnecessarily spartan machine when it comes to guarding overall.
I'm a city boy, with a faint rustic demeanor. A little bit of watching helps find wood to harvest; usually curbside.
I use a variety of manual methods, to avoid repetitive stress injury. They are 30" Estwing axe, Oregon Grenade, old school wedges, 3 pound engineers hammer, 4 pound sledge, a Swedish pruning saw, larger bow saw.
Cause she liked it when I took my shirt off.

I doubt that guy is still alive.

This is why I prefer a full length axe over a hatchet. I get sloppy when I'm tired; I want that guy to hit the ground and not my leg.

This...I've done close to this splitting logs with a sledgehammer and wedge. All it takes is one glancing blow. I was lucky I hit the leg that wasn't planted, so I only bruised the hell out of my shin and fell down.
