[QUOTE="LondonNeil, post: 6315709, member: 142867"] So it seems most people here swing/hold the axe the otherway around to Fiskars, glad its not just me then! Block height is personal I reckon, but I prefer a block about 15" high or thereabouts, which with rounds for my small stove (13" max) and me at 5'11" means I'm swinging my x27 to about 4 o'clock- 4.30 and it feels like its accelerating all the way. I've a x17 on its way, and expect to be stacking a couple of rounds to bring my 'block' up to about 24" for that. I am not too sensitive to block or round height, I just bend my knees and drop more in the swing if things are lower. I guess i need to be as getting arb waste that is often bucked short and varied lengths, and having a slight slope across my lawn, no 2 swings are the same! [/QUOTE]
