Where the Wild Things Are
I split by hand and don't own a splitter, though I have taken to noodling nasty pieces with big knots and crotches this year. By why all the attitude? I didn't see anything in the comments to warrant that.
How do you do it?
P.S. Powered tools don't count, e.g making 1/4s via noodles
Wow, MP, my first comment was a JOKE. EVER heard of one? Hence the smiley face thingamajig at the end.
I asked about the 038, because I have one, that I referenced your posts for to modifying into a Mag. I learned, hacked at it, took a few tries, and now I hope its ready to run. Waiting for the fall to fire it up and see what it can do. Of course, I do that because I enjoy it, not to showboat, gloat, and shoot personal attacks on others who haven't.
Splitting 8 cords by hand doesn't make you a man. I bought a splitter because it saves me time over splitting those nasty rounds by hand, saves my back, and in turn I get to enjoy life more and spend time with my family. I guess I'm not a man in your book, but then again, I couldn't care less after your tirade.
I also find it quite humorous that you have a narrow definition of hard work. You have to be a blue collar laborer in order to qualify? Sorry, but my paycheck suggests I am working hard enough for someone's liking.
Sorry I got off topic and into a rant. Hope your conversion works as good as mine have.
There was a death in the family and I medicated myself with" Vodkadin" yesterday.
I do know hard work as a farmer, logger and lumber miller. I still do all of that, but for fun now, not as a necessity. The days of stacking 6 X 8 " X 12' green hemlock, all day, are behind me..........thank God.
I'll get back to this thread, with pics, as I have some big knotty rock maple to deal with ASAP. It will require wedges and the 20 lber.
Hi folks,
Sorry again if I've PO you, Any of You. Life has sucked last few days.......
This thread was about big nasty rounds, splitting by hand, not piss ants like me......
I have ca 40" large Ash and rock/hard Maple to deal with, Will try to make a pictorial as a mea culpa. Might take week or more
