Been trying to get an 026 put together, re sharpen all my chains for next weekend (helping my Dad cut firewood since he has a clot in his leg), and finish my landscaping project. Gotta service my neighbors chop saw for him. It was a total lifesaver this week. Had to cut every capstone on there. Should have seen all the concrete dust!!!

Good morning everybody. Is everybody familiar with the Leveraxe? There is a thread (sticky) in the firewood forum. One is being shipped again for testing. I signed up to test it. I have requested it in time for the GTG on 11/1. Is anybody interested in testing it at the GTG? Matt, do you have any wood we could split with the axe? Here is the thread:

Here is the axe:

Thomas, if you can bring it, would be interested trying it.
- Wonder with the twisting action how much it will be working the wrists as it twists sideways?
- When the stop block hits, how much of a jaring action occurs?

The plan is to bring it to our GTG.

I think the secret is to lighten your grip at impact to allow the axe to pivot. It shouldn't be a problem for me as I already do that anyway....a habit I learned from many years of golf.

On a side note, I got the new I-Mac today. This is my first stop since hooking it up. Been without a home PC for about a week. It is nice.
