Paying the heating bill.
Set up a nice firewood station now. The three-limbed stump makes a good log sawing stand.
Also rolled the old chopping block over there, shortened it a bit (it was too tall even for a tall person) and split the logs I collected from clearing the road.
The apple logs were in full sap (result of overly warm January) and frozen hard - the axe just bounced off. They'll have to thaw first.
Could use a slightly heavier axe.
@yngmar I have a fiskars and it really works great.
@elliot What weight do you use?
@yngmar It's in storage, and I don't remember. around 3-4 kg? what makes the most observable difference is the hollow handle. I can swing it faster and with more accuracy.
@yngmar I haven't had reason to try it myself (no wood fire) but I've always liked this method of chopping wood without having to bend down all the time. Basically hold it in an old tyre. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhZhWMKqHkY (key bit is halfway through)
