Re -evaluate
different Erics. Erick and Eric. Erick got geevees contact info. I contacted GEEVEE to get JBFABs info.
So hopefully the axe will be in the mail today as promised.
I somehow sort of feel like I am the keeper of the AXE seeing how it was my big mouth that started this ball a rolling.. and honestly it has moved around the country pretty well up until about June. LOL
Hi
As you now have noticed, some people have succeeded very well with the LEVERAXE. Maybe they have had enough time to study the instructions BEFORE the splitting. Based to the feedback around the world, the efficiency of the AXE has been very good. It only requires right way to operate. It is really best way to forget totally the old way and approach this new technique with open eyes and mind. I fully understand that it may be difficult to some people to change their habits and try to do something in totally new way.
That is why I also understand the writings on the fist page by ericjeeper.
By looking at the pictures attached to the writing i must say that not even one strike is done correctly. It can be seen in the red marks on the block. Most of the attemps to split the wood has been done in the old ways. That is how you split the wood with the conventional axe. Splitting with the LEVERAXE requires different kind of approach to the whole project.Maybe the simpliest way to say it is. Split the wood like you peal the onion. Start from the outside, split the middle of the block as last split. This way you can peal the block very easily no matter how big it is. The leveraxe has been on the circulation among you nearly one year now.Many people have considered the price of the AXE expensive and maybe that is why evaluated it not so good. I think, the reason for the price is bad exchanse rate of the USD. Most probably one day the situation will change. At the time I live in the world on EUROS. I cannot do much for the price. There is a lot of skepticism of splitting hardwood. Based to the information what I have got for instance from Japan,Wales and from other European countries , so called hardwood does not make any difference. Everything goes. There is a long story about the evaluation of the LEVERAXE in the Wikipedia sites. It is done by ericjeeper based to a few minutes experience.It is difficult to say what to think about the story without insulting anybody, but my opinion as an inventor of the axe, is that there is a lot of rubbish which has nothing to do with the reality. It is like going to the jumbo jet cockpit and after failing to fly it you say, no good. Of course the evaluation is his evaluation, but based to so short experience I think that it is in the wrong place. Some people might even believe it and that way loose the chance to purchase himself this new tool. I hope Mr.ericjeeper to evaluate theAXE again with more time to be able to really get into the system. Meanwhile the writings should be taken away from the Wikipedia sites. So far there has happened NO accident with the LEVERAXE not a single one. Hopefully I haven't offended anybody.
I wish you all interesting testings. Try to think different way.
All the best from Finland.
