Tell me about Axes....

[Marshy]

Nope... dropped out during the 10th grade.
Why do you ask??

Why do you think? Your arguing with individuals who have degrees in the engineering field who have formal training of the subject, who have spent many hours actually putting numbers to paper and using the equations, not someone who just reads something on the internet and regurgitates it.

2 pool balls colliding is about as close as it gets to modeling a perfectly elastic collision... never mind, its not worth it.

Jesus christ, shut up already!!

It's like saws, no one saw is gonna do all jobs all the time.

Is that what you tell your wife to explain your obsession?

Engineers are some of the dumbest mfers ive ever met. I deal with them daily dont pull that card. Btw i have a high school diploma.... I know you would ask.

Well, you've been quoting web pages not me...
My arguments come from studying Einstein's theories of relativity, and where it leads me (such as Newton and his predecessors)... not the internet.
And if I held any stock in a degree, I'd have stayed in school... so, like was said, "don't pull that card."

OK PLMCRZY, with the pullin' of that card... I'll shut up now.
If someone sees you as less than equal, or unworthy of consideration... they see you as wrong, even if you're right.

Engineers are okay. I've met some dumb ones and some really smart ones. Just like most career fields. Now scientists on the other hand. Most are really smart. A lot of them are weird as hell though.

I can P*ss on your thread as I please. Thats the joy of the internet. Besides, I am still talking about axes.

I'm not "pulling a card". I actually opened my old text to refresh my memory as its not something I use daily. I dont go around touting my education to put other people down and I dont judge poeple on their education (formal or not) and I mean no disrespect. I provided you the links so that you realize I'm not pulling this from my arse and my points are valid and I'm not taking parts of proven theory and making my own argument like you seem to be doing. If it sounds like Im copying web sites it's because those sites say the same thing my text books say. Hmmm

 

[Marshy]

Hey, I have no problem letting this go. I'll agree to disagree, not like im out to get a notch in my belt. Besides, this will all get buried 12 more pages about of Fiskars are the only true axe that can split wood and they are way superior over those wooden handled cave tools that our ancestors used.

 

[Whitespider]

LOL
What is it I've said before?? Oh yeah...
This is the internet, I can be whatever I wanna' be

Did I tell you guys I have a Fiskars X27 and a 8# maul??
I don't use the X27 much... it won't split the Bur Oak and elm I cut most worth sour owl squat. It ain't all that great on the ash, cheery and hard maple either. I used it the most on some walnut and Silver Maple I cut... seemed to slice right through that. But to be fair, I do the vast majority of my splitting with hydraulics. I'll sometimes grab the X27 or the maul (depending) to make smaller splits from larger ones... to build a cooking fire in the fire pit.

Wait you are a pro Fiskars man? You think a lighter Fiskers will bust better than a heavier Maul like 8 lb?

Maybe we should talk about angular momentum some. It sounds like your swinging that X-27 like a Sally. Maybe the other half of the Kinetic energy is lost to your girly grunting lol.

Thats my main tool to help heat my home. Anything I cant spit with it gets partially noodled or fully noodled to movable chunks. If I cant split it noodled when green I will wait for it to season and then have no issues with the X27.

I don't have a fiskars - I bought one for my Dad and used it a fair amount. I found it underwhelming, but that's because I already split most of my wood with axes and it's just not much different - probably no diffrrent once the teflon wears off.

I also have an 8lb maul and use it when I have to - but mostly the other side for driving wedges. And several other tools, as Zogger said. Different face angles and head shapes have varying effect on different wood spieces. With the wood types I'm used to splitting I can pretty much tell what tool I'll need.

Oh lordy... NO‼
That would lead to discussing a child's spinning top toy... then gyroscopes... then midway rides at the fair... then to imparting spin and "english" on a billiard ball ...
My lord... where would it all end??

Don't know but the conversation got me thinking about baseball bats. Hickory, ash and maple. They even had Roger Maris years ago hitting with different weight bats and charted the distance of each weight of bat. Believe he hit the farthest with the heaviest bat but preferred the lighter bat.

Long term girlfriend, doesn't matter.

Anyway, the conversation went like this. One small saw plan, tornado smashes house, need a big saw to deal with all the extra oak kicking around, ha!. Year later, and after joining this site, I have a bunch, she goes, "How many saws are you going to get"? I go "One hundred runners, and whatever are parts saws. By then I should know what I am doing repairing them and could open a shop if I needed another income, or, do a little on the side, whatever, another skill to learn well".

Paraphrased, but the 100 runners is accurate. I slowed down a lot this year after I got robbed for a buncha good ones last year. Had them in the barn, bad idea.... Until I have better/more secure storage I am only grabbing gems, or taking freebie junkers.

Careful ray benson... you're bordering on "feeding the spider."

Did he ever use an aluminum bat? I know not allowed in pro ball, just wondering his opinion on them and how they worked

(wooden handle versus synthetic, etc)

Inelastic collision. Do we need to visit that in more detail? Spidy knows more than he's leading on to. I think he's sitting back having a good chuckle.
