Today my neigbour and i were splitting appr 3.5 cords of wood with my new splitter toy. ( 21 ton homemade horizontal splitter on tractor hydraulics)
He is a great guy and veterinary as profession (so knows something about cutting meat).
As he was my splitb!tch for the day he was positioning the logs on the splitter and despite my instructions to leave the wood alone, he kept holding the wood till it contacted with the wedge and started splitting.
We had a knotty one that stalled the splitter. (while he still had his hands om the log to keep it in position) I told him that moment that this stupid piece of wood was stopping 21 tons of pressure.
He looked up and said: wow, thats way more than any tool used to amputate or cut anything i know of in veterinary business... guess i better keep my hands off and maybe some other parts of my body further away from this thing.
always a plus when partners get your point straight away
