so this is mostly just a trash-talking thread about "automatic" or "powered" splitters vs armstrong splitters...but it is quasi-seriously-a-question.
kinda like the ford, chevy, dodge argument...no toyota and nissan...you don't get to play.
semi-seriously though...I logs onto AS tonight...clicks on the FH&WBE thread collection...and perusing shows me no less than 15 threads about non-armstrong splitters.
WTFlyingF*Fellas?
Does no one use an armstrong splitter these days? (fiskars, fancy euro, old 'merica metal, monster maul, etc)? You know...the kind you swing up over your head, and then crash down into an upright round...splitting it asunder...you know?
Don't you?
Or wait...maybe aliens have invaded AS member ranks, and I'm the last hold out...with a set of arms and a maul. Aliens without upperbody strength and a long streak of lazy? Maybe?
Now that your dander is thoroughly up...here's the real question...HOW are auto-powered-non-armstrong splitters faster?
And...wouldn't the exercise do us all good?
Venerable old-timer AS members are excluded from my intended dander-upping-shenanigans...all the rest of ya'll...answer!
BTW...I armstrong splits 8 cord a year. My dad (who will be 64 this Jan) armstrong splits 8 cord a year also...with a 30 yr old maul. FYI I noodle nasty knotty crotches and such.
Flame on! (but keep your humor)
Oh...the beer part...um...I heard all this stuff (locally) about auto-powered-splitting firewood whilst drinking beer...so I tried armstrong splitting firewood whilst drinking beer. I ended up splitting a quarter-cord in two beers...about 20 mins. Doubled my time. Weird.
Keep. Your. Humor. Seriously.
