"How do you get your own lumber?" - that frequent question determined me to make this video. Some time ago i was gifted with few maple logs (Acer platanoides) . I could go to the saw mill but spliting will give me more stable and "quartersplited" material. It is important in my planemaking and woodworking. Nothing fancy this time, just a little bit of hard work. You can take this video as "behind the scenes bonus".
Have a nice day!
BTW. I don't take orders and usually i don't sell my planes.
The most sure way to get some of them is take a part in giveaways for my supporters.

@bradleyleben7785منذ 3 سنواتMy wife loves to split wood. When the temperature gets down in the mid 20s degree F, the heat pump struggles. She swings the hammer, pops the wedges, and grins from ear to ear when the log pops. 25
@
@Ham68229منذ 3 سنواتMake yourself some wooden wedges, once you get the split started, come in from the sides instead of the ends. Will split a lot easier for you. The bigger id="hidden3" class="buttons"> plus side to this method, you won't have to worry about any metal chips flying back at you, yes, it does happen. You can also start the split with wooden wedges as well. Great video as always, cheers :) ....وسعت6

@chrismaurer2075منذ 3 سنواتI cut down a large maple tree on my property a couple years ago and last year I had a guy with a small mill cut it for me so that I could finally make id="hidden4" class="buttons"> a work bench.I'm almost done with it, it has a 4 inch slab top with beautiful grain and the cracks that came I put in bowties and I think it really add's to the look. ....وسعت3

@frankagee3157منذ 3 سنواتMany years ago I was splitting a log in cold weather, it was 13 degrees (F) and I hit the wedge with my sledge hammer and a piece of it chipped off and id="hidden5" class="buttons"> hit me in the arm. It went in all the way to the bone. I had to go to the hospital and have it removed. It was not pleasant. Since then I made two tools. I made a glut, which is a wooden wedge. I also made a wooden mallet. From that time on I have never hit steel on steel. I have a beautiful spider shaped scar on my arm. I love your videos and have marveled at how easy you make it look. Keep up the good work. ....وسعت2

@lancer2204منذ 3 سنواتGreat technique! There are certainly times when a chainsaw with a ripping chain are a nice option though.

@dagwood1327منذ 3 سنواتI’m lucky, I just go out into the woods and pick one that I want to saw on my bandsaw mill. Lots to choose from. I have access to walnut, white oak, various red oaks, persimmon, juniper, pine, honey locust, black locust, hickory, sassafras, pecan, Paulownia and birch. Most of the time something has fallen during a storm and I saw that up. Haven’t cut much this summer because of back issues. I hope to get that fixed soon. ....وسعت4

Love all your videos man.very inspiring.im learning alot from you and a few other Youtubers( dan the woodman/clickspring/ect..) id="hidden12" class="buttons"> i cut a dead cherry tree down a few months ago.i tried keep it as whole as possible. the trunk is about 2 feet wide and about 6 foot tall.i used some old deck stain on ends but i see alot of cracking and splitting from the ends. your video is right on time.im gonna go find some of that liquid foil and split it like you did and re cut and seal the ends with the liq foil.maybe it will help? how long will you let the log you split dry/season/ befor you use it to make anything out of it?? ....وسعت2

@antoniojsanchez8646منذ 3 سنواتBusque una buena maza con peso suficiente, ese hacha no le durara eternamente con esos golpes. Además las cuñas penetran mas fácilmente en la madera con una maza de buen peso y con menor esfuerzo. Son muchos los troncos que tuve que partir con cuñas, es un trabajo duro, y hasta peligroso si golpeas mal la cuña y te salta una rebaba de metal la velocidad de una bala. Dos veces me paso, y dos veces dio en el hueso de mi pierna parándola tras atravesar el pantalón y la piel. Saludos desde Málaga ( España) ....وسعت2
