Never split from the dry side of the log, go always to the fresh side (that you just cut with the chain saw).
Tako je -that's right
It may be easier to split the word if it's on a harder surface. The wall may be bouncing off the ground reducing the amount of pressure the mall or the log splitter is placing on the wood
Taras I've been liking you recent vlogs lately, keep up the good work man
I have had great success with the blue eastwing wedge, but I have to be able to start a groove with the winged maul that is your favorite one. I have hear the tips break off of the spiral wedges. I assume you could just grind it to a point again. I also always use some kind of a base under the rounds, it allows you to transmit energy to the round much more efficiently.
"I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK, I sleep all night and I work all day, I cut down trees, I eat my lunch......" Hey Taras, do you know anybody in British Columbia? Just kidding. Doesn't take long to sweat bullets when cutting fire wood. Even for a tall manly man like you. Keep up the AWESOME videos my friend!!!
Use TWO wedges on big stuff. On hardwood, like this oak.
*Eye AND ear protection.*
Split on hard ground (easier splitting), on the cut stump, or move log there. You can use a 4lb hammer to set wedge in wood, then switch to 8-10 lb sledge hammer.
The colder the air temp, the easier the splitting.
Fully seasoned wood -- the bark falls off. Never try to split green wood.
What type of oak? Red, black?
pretty cool aa
Dude you weren't hitting with the grain that's why it didn't split
The chemistry Nerd ikr
FINALLY SOMEONE WHO KNOWS HOW TO CHOP WOOD !!!!
yeah lol. he was even saying that "we gotta go with the grain" and at the same time doing the opposite :D
The chemistry Nerd lol "again, you gotta go with the grain" proceeds to attempt splitting completely perpendicular to the grain
you also use the maul to get a indentation in the wood toward the outside of the log then put the wider wedge in and then work your way in to the center
I find it satisfying just watching u chop logs plz do more
It’s a tough piece of wood for sure. More strategy with the wedge. Wedge placement can work magic. Good video. Thank you.
Thanks for the video! Those are some big rounds of wood, and the wedge makes the job so much easier. This saved me tons of time and effort.

Wears rubber boots
:)
My wellies have steel toe caps
This was an excellent video. I learned from it. Thank you for posting this.
the reason taras likes the diamond one more is because that one goes with the grain more than the blue one, he's putting the blue one perpandicular to the grain
why is log splitting just so satisfying
1:15 nothing, nothing, nothing, UGHH I am just exhausting mah self for nading over hear" -Taras
YaBoiMiguel d
nice video, but for most of us hmm... useless
Gophy why did you watch it then. Most the people watching will find it helpful
I honestly love these kind of videos keep making log videos
Looks great my friend. Wedges and safety glasses. Great work. Thanks
0:09 Wood Grenade!
The best one I have ever owned!
Align the wedges with the wind shake. They are natural fractures in the wood. It will aid you in splitting.
Wege is quick start. Take the power saw and strip a notch in the log. 👍
I love this guys videos
When i watch you i remember my dad taras i love you sooo mush
In Soviet Russia Wedges split you.
David D in mother russia
miguel pires its soviet
I use most of these tools every winter
Any real man that was raised up in the country and having to split wood every day could split that oak with out all the wedges
Being raised in the country and knowing how to split wood doesn't make you any better than a city boy/girl.
I just bought the blue wedge today and it's hella easier than using an ax or maul. Used with a 3# sledgehammer and it got through twisted, knotty maple wood. Might pick up the diamond-shaped wedge, too. Looks useful.
Boom coool how cool is that
Awesome! I'm going to pick up some wedges this week!
Thanks Taras!!!!
Love your videos Taras keep up the great work
Hotel?
Boom
You can also just buy or make a hydraulic wood splitter
Or rent.
Poor Taras better stay out of Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan. The way he handles the ax is painful to watch.
he has a wood splitter he has used it in past videos
right lol. Wisconsin ftw
my favorite survival RUclipsr makes his splitters with wood.
[TECHNOLOGIC] -_-
I like this kinds of videos
If you look for cracks and hit those, you can split most big logs.
Sharpen the wedge. Makes a huge difference.
Wow, they work great!..
Great
Do it on a hard flat surface its unstable and bouncing off the grass
Good workout
love you Taras
Cool
Even though I'll never buy most of the gadgets you show us because I'm still young i love watching your videos, they are so interesting and kul.
where are you getting all this wood? are you felling the trees as well?
What kind of tree is taht? I like the orange color of the wood.
What a workout you gave yourself with these tools, and a very stubborn chunk of wood.
That does look exhausting work.. But you got to collect fireword for yourself on the winter... that's important.... by the way.. im from Victoria Australia.. we've just come from winter and spring is just beginning.... great work taras. !
nice work taras
Now that's one way to get a work out! 💪👍
i see you listened to my advice about sliding the hand on the handle, it's much easier to lift when you hold it closer to the axe head
Love you💗💗💗💗👍
Taras, you're hitting that wood perpendicular to the radius. You need to hit it parallel with the radius. I know wood can sometimes get so hard that you bounce off. What kind of wood is that?
I actually split a trunk that big one time with only a small hatchet.
I basically used the hatchet as a splitting wedge like in this video, and it worked just as well. I ended up totally busting the handle, but it still got the job done in the end 😂
😂😂😂
You covered all the possibilities.Спасибо из Греции , друг.
The "booms" make the video even better
Wow you really got your exercise today. Find a comfortable chair and a cold drink.
You should get a product called - Chainsaw Buddy. Try also a Log Horse, and or a Log Saw Horse. Very cool products.
Thank you... that was a big help..
those splitting veggies are awesome.
You can also use them to get long staves to make bows. You split a long trunk lengthwise with several of those.
This is so satisfying
What kind of Hearing Protection do you use? sledges and chainsaws can greatly damage hearing.
0:49 " I would have to hit on it it all day"😂😂😂
Looks like red oak. Have fun.
Yasss Finally Early!! Keep up the good work Taras!!
AMAZING -taras kul
Chain saw can be used for this also right? Just asking
👍👍to much work like my electric one for those heavy logs ! Lol
No offense, but when you split a log using just a splitting maul, you're supposed to follow the grain in the wood and hit the log where the natural crack is - this is the weak spot. If you'll notice, when you use a wedge, you start it in an already existing crack, and this is why it splits so easily.
What a legend puts all of his fails in there
BOOM
Awesome video C.R.H!
Brazil !
@taras kul
Hit the wood at the natural cracks from when you cut it with the saw
Nice
YES this a good gaget for wood
Love the. Video
3:34 once again we got to go with the green.
That's blue right?
Susi Hartini *grain and 3:31
You should do some metal detecting!! that would be an awesome video
03:07 " And the second one, put it in the crack " Taras kul 2017
My closed captioning wrote "put it in the clock". Sigh. Lol.
It's because you're hitting it in the center instead of the sides the splitting maul can do it from the side
I love videos about split'n vedges
Very satisfying
Have two of the 4 sided wedge, two does come in handy.
What's up taras?
awesome good
What type of wood ???
Taras was it intentional that you used the axe against the grain and the mauls with the grain?
I would recommend a good pair of safety shoes too
I made a
Meestake!
That's why he's the best !
what type of tree was that ????
Big thumbs up for Taras ;)
Hi
where im from we use just 2 axes for it 1 as as splitting tool and 1 as a hammer
TARAS YOU ARE SO KUL
Erect Ding unoriginal
Erect Ding C L A S S I C
You are 1 cool dude
Bro please do Roman Atwood's derby
Nice job.
Thank you so much.
Nice more wood tools
Taras that was kul!
Never start you split in the center of the wood because that Part is rock hard either started at the Edge near you or farthest away.
Hi Tara's
