Scott did actually explain wood fibres absolutely spot on. That's how I was taught by a carpenter on how to chisel out wood & how knowing about the fibres helps prevent you accidently splitting wood.
Eeeeeeeeee Eeeeeeeeee Eeeeeeeeee Eeeeeeeeee Eeeeeeeeee Eeeeeeeeee Eeeeeeeeee Eeeeeeeeee
True for carpentry but when it comes to cutting down a tree you can only cut against the grain. Thus making Scott's explanation completely moot.
The wood looks a little burly which would also explain why the 2nd drop shattered the log, the fungus changes the fibres & actually weakens the living tree apparently.
@@fruitnut123 not moot at all, he perfectly explains why it’s easier to split wood when you work with the grain as opposed to against it. They’re not chopping down trees, they’re splitting wood.
@@lrgload3547 Exactly! The force from the axe would be the same as the force from a wood splitter. And as we see against the grain, it cuts like scissors. If it cut like a chainsaw falling a tree, there would be 2 solid pieces instead of many.
Props to editor Jack for not trying to stroke his own ego.😂
In absolute agreement with that
The perfect comment
Someone needs to do it.
Wish I had an ego to stroke 😂
All about Jack the Eddie boy!
That was probably Scott's best science talk yet
Props to Jack for that
Never read the graphic before. Always thought his last name was Goreson or Gorenson. Say it in your head, trust me
Agreed😉
I love those talks.
😂
In case anyone is wondering, the music at 2:40 is called Cruise Control by Sync Royalty.
That paver shot is definitely in the running for Slowy of the Year, and its only March!
Massive props to Editor Jack for getting that perfectly framed!
Not only is it only March but it's their second video of the year.
😜 this is awesome
6:17 like the fire extinguishers

As a woodworker I can say that Scott's hair analogy for how wood grain works is on point. I've used the same comparison myself so props to the man for a really good "science with Gaunson"
Wood also gets more brittle while drying out (and the stump looked a bit rotten), that's why the stump exploded. When you store wood it dries out, which means it loses mass. The inside of the wood gets smaller, which means the grain can tear itself apart, leaving cracks inside the wood. That's why you only use dry wood for building materials and why it's a pain in the a** to store larger pieces of wood for wood carvings.
Is your daughter named Lily?
There is someone in my school called Anna o‘neil
And props to Jack for editing it!
@@MyRegardsToTheDodoscience with dodo
Amazing video as always! As referring to the strength of wood, as it becomes more and more dry, it gets harder and therefore, brittle . It's more prone to split or explode. Freshly cut hardwood or soft wood will have more elasticity so it resists force of impact a little better than dried wood.
You guys are my five year olds favorite. It's nice to see a channel I don't have to worry about her watching. We watch you guys everyday before school. Hats off to ya.

thank you, I used this through the whole video,lol
Make this the top comment pls
I had no idea what was going on untill you posted this. Thank you
Just gotta give props to Jack for great editing, Rexy for always being in danger, Herron for having great hair, and Stanford for just being Stanford... I feel like I'm forgetting something. OH YEAH and massive props to KFC for keeping the boys fed!!!
LOL FORGOT SOMEBODY ELSE
@@dfamily4500 No I don't think so... oh wait!!! The builders, the drone pilot, the land owners who let them set this up, people who drove past while they were filming... and of course YOU the good people watching and commenting on RUclips! Yep that should cover it!
Also I've love to know which of the team liked my comment. Probably either Jack as the editor, or Herron because I said he had great hair! Although I love it to be Rexy somehow!!!
@ku8721 Are you sure your not forgetting someone 😅
"Tell em about the shoe's!" Lives rent free in my head. We love you Scott 👏
There needs to be a compilation video of the Science With Gaunson moments.
And props to editor Jack.
Editor Jack deserves props for the amazing shots he’s taken, especially when he has to do a panoramic shot with the phantom

Have you guys tried throwing sodium in a large pond or river? You'll be glad you did!
@@simonmultiverse6349 If they ever do that, I hope they make their own pond, though, because it'll fuck up everything in it.
Round of applause for editor Jack, done a great job
Purely satisfying slowmo shots 😂
Huge props to Jack, definitely the glue holding it all together.
Would be interesting to put partially filled barrels of gasoline (or other flammables) with ignition sources with fire extinguishers and watch them battle it out in slow motion as fire attempts to start and the extinguisher... extinguishes.
An excellent idea
Add an oxy and acetylene bottle into the mix.
Yes please do this
@@Jay-Dylan We're not trying to kill them here.. I've seen an explosion up relatively close with oxygen bottles and acetylene. It was honestly scary!
@@Jay-Dylan No
Yes. Wood will get harder as it drys out, especially with woods like jarrah and iron bark. However hard woods (as opposed to soft woods, like pines etc. it has nothing to do with the actual hardness of the wood itself) will become quite brittle as they dry, particularly close to the roots, eg, the stump, or near a branch where the grain becomes very wavy and curly. This is why it exploded, because the grain is not uniform in direction and has no support from the “rest” of the log, sometimes curling almost 90 degrees, so that you would be splitting between grains at that point.
If you were to obtain a pine or non hollow gum (spotted gum) log about 1.5 metres or longer and 500mm thick, that axe shouldn’t be able to cut it, so long as it’s not green (so been drying for at least five years) and not from near the base of the tree or containing burl or branch defects. In other words, a prime piece of timber probably worth in excess of $3000 😂.
Precisely what I wanted to say !
Hard yes, but brittle. Just like tempered glass, stone, hardened steel... (but without fibers)
(And these logs even seem rotten)
If the burl was big enough the piece would be worth a ton of money. There are burl poachers who remove burl for the money. Which is a shame. I do know some wood turners who would pay a pretty penny for a good sized burl
Mad props to Jack and Herron
It would have been interesting to see the ax against a whole stack of wood stacked cross grain. They definitely got peoples minds going with the wood grain bit. Great work
In answer to Scott’s amazing question: Firewood gets stronger as it dries, yet it is also easier to split then too.
Excellent work today y’all!
Well, the wood gets *harder* as it dries. Strength is relative to the load.
@@Taolan8472 Yup, exactly. Try splitting a green log that size, it will laugh at you.
In this case its probably more to do with that its rotten/eaten in the middle with lots of cracks all through it already.
Might be a bit different if it was solid and non-cracked.
Balsa wood actually requires drying to make it worth using. The process applied to Balsa is interesting. The cells are so large that after drying the wood is mostly air. Balsa before drying barely floats.
@@Taolan8472 Yes, exactly. Contrary to popular belief, dry wood's higher hardness factor makes it easier to split as the fibers are less able to flex with stress. The water in the wood makes it far more pliable and harder to split, to say nothing of the extra structural integrity that the extra mass of water inherently provides.
Any plans to make something like a giant pincer or "crab claw" type device to chop horizontally? It could be a big spring loaded device that snaps shut quickly. Would be awesome to see the fire extinguishers get split and launched vertically.
2 m beartrap?!
@@corwinchristensen260 I like it!
10:30 It actually just gets more brittle as it dries. If it's wet, it has more flex, so if anything, it's harder to cut a wet trunk in one hit. Though, if that trunk was wet, I doubt it could stand up to that giant axe. It would just be in bigger chunks. That said, if the trunk was completely soaked by being left in water for weeks, it might have been able to resist the axe because of all the energy the axe would have lost just squeezing the water out before it got to cut anything.
Also, he is right, the trunk "exploded" from that impact because it needed to cut through more, meaning a lot of it got pushed down and out the sides. So although it did require more to cut this trunk, it still most likely would not have survived.
That guessing game with the cans was GENIUS!!!!
yous guys should do things like that more with destruction of things like that!
Guess on the broken/not touched ratios!🤘🎸🤘🎸🤘
That first axe split with the pavers was an award winning slowie!
It's really great to see editor Jack utilize his skillset to showcase Scott's talents.
that second stump was nuts
Pops into your recommendations.
Explodes stumpies, spray cans and file cabinets with a giant axe.
Doesn't elaborate further.
Leaves ... you with a smile. =)
Always love to see ya guys, 44club is a vibe!
Never gonna get tired of seeing things smashed, chopped in half, blown up, whatever. Keep it coming!
Kind of sad to see the episodes be so short after you guys returned. I need more HR! 😂
Thx Jack. Thanks for EVERYTHING. YOU got us so far. YOU are making us a community. YOU are THE boy. Keep it up my man.
I don't know if all Aussie's are fun incarnate like these three fellas, but I very much enjoy watching them and their fabulous videos. They all seem to be having a great time doing everything in their videos and their joy translates well to the audience that watches them. In my opinion they have a similar chemistry with each other that another famous trio have, namely Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond. I am truly glad I found this channel and have not hesitated to share it with all my friends and family. I look forward to enjoying their future videos, keep up the most excellent work!😃
It’s funny how much stuff was wasted in this video alone and yet we all love the content. Please don’t stop guys
I agree with Gaunson on that first slowie at 0:32, that was some amazing footage
Loved this video, in my opinion, one of the best you've ever done! Giant axe, rexy getting launched, satisfying slow mo, exploding fire extinguishers, destroyed go pro, good humor; THIS VIDEO HAD IT ALL!!!
That slowmo with the spray paint cans was class.
Great to see uploads back! Thanks for always giving us something enjoyable to watch.
Hey you guys, I just want to say thank you from Canada, I suffer from ALS, and now I am stuck in a chair all day. Life is dark and gloomy as I stare at my final year or 2. I have binged almost all your videos, they are one of the few things that still bring a smile to my face. Thank you so much for bringing some brightness back into my life. Congrats on your success. You're all amazing but I always cheer for Derek. Cheers from Canada
I like how environmentally friendly this show has become
I started watching these videos a few years ago… then took a break. Now I’m back and I’m impressed by how popular this channel is.
Our thirst for throwing stuff onto other stuff seems unquenchable as a species 😂
That’s a nice Axe ya got there!
@Don't Read My Profile Picture ok
Round of applause for Jack, and the boys!
Wood gets more brittle the dryer it gets. Also, cutting with the grain yields clean cuts, against the grain is both harder and yields obliterations. Well done Scott!
Yeah, I was going to say it depends on what they mean by "stronger". It will get harder, so the surface will be tougher when it comes to scratches and dings, but the "glue" (I forget what it's really called) that holds the grain together dries out and becomes more brittle.
@@angryginger791 precisely. As I understand it, it's basically a combination of the sap and water that lives in the wood.
@@darinroodman2004 I couldn't remember the word, but I just looked it up. It's called lignin.
@@angryginger791 And now we've both learned something! Thanks!
I love how the fire extinguisher hose curls up for impact. Very nice
Glad to have you lads back!!!! You were definitely missed!!!
I missed Jack. Those other three? Meh.
The pavers being split is definitely a contender for best slowey ever on this channel. That was incredibly satisfying!
He was TOTALLY on about the Grain stuff!!!
That was just a massive amount of pressure on the wood
5:22 I like the swirling extinguisher. Looks cool, just like the cartoons foretold....
*and a bonus for the sound of the spray can caps falling on the ground like plastic rain
So happy y’all are posting videos again. Keep on doing awesome and ridiculous stuff!
They're back! Been waiting for another video, same as everyone. This was another ripper! Thanks boys (and crew (and Axey))!🎉
10:35 No. The evaporation of water inside the wood doesn't make it stronger. Harder maybe, but also more brittle. If the question is what takes more energy to cut? Live wet wood or dry dead wood then the answer is always going to be live wet wood.
Awesome video as always fellas! I’d love to see you set up a few decks of playing cards, if not already suggested, and marvel at the results 😊
Jacks “waste of time” answer made me laugh too much at 6 in the morning 😂 also, I love how y’all keep saying “well that’s not in one piece anymore”.
11:30 - Ah, no, don't stop there! We need to see how many really thin pieces of wood it can cut, relative to those large ones. It's always good to watch Stumps vs Twigs.
Editor jack is a legend!
You should have made a fire near those fire extinguishers. Would be interesting to see whether it would have gone out.
at 4:43 one of the fire extinguishers lookin like its breaking the sound barrier
Some mighty impressive slowies! Good to see these again.
The first one was so aesthetically pleasing!!!
You guys just made me so happy, wasn't expecting a video today but you've made my Friday night more enjoyable , thank you .
You guys should include the wife's or some of the crew in games , like rc racing . God bless and keep doing what ur doing
Wife's is possessive.
Wife's dishes.
Wife's car.
Wife's wedding ring.
Wives.
The wives' presence.
Absolutely phenomenal boyo's, absolutely sensational! And it wouldn't have been captured do spectacularly without Editor Jack! Great you see you all back!
Dried wood tends to be more brittle. Wet wood tends to be more pliable. Think of it like steel. The harder the steel the more likely it is to shatter under pressure, whereas soft metal will just bend.
I've never seen a giant ax cutter like that before.
Would love to see 4 different colored fire extinguishers lined up on an angle, where Moses takes off only the valve ends. 🚀 Each guy pick a color, and see who's goes the furthest. BTW, big props to editor Jack! He should pick the 4th color extinguisher. 😂 Keep up the great work through 2023 guys!
Nitrogen cylinders... :-D
It doesn't matter how bad of a day you have. This guys really melt away your troubles. Thanks to the guys here for their fun-loving videos.
Jack should get props for the shots he's taken not only with his camera but from the boys as well
Good to see ya back boys! This has my vote for the best collection of slowies in a single video. A strong way to come back!
welcome back! great to see the craziness is thriving ! and as ever Editor Jack is the {unsung?} hero
Definitely the unsung hero of every video he’s worked on. As someone with editing experience myself, I know it can be very tedious work, and for videos like these where you have dozens of cameras and angles and microphones and all of that to deal with, it just gets exponentially more time-consuming.
I do have to give props to Toby for doing the editing work on this video. I honestly couldn’t tell the difference between his and Jack’s editing work, which shows you how good they both are at what they do.
9:30 that's a brilliant analogy
I love the giant axe videos! Thanks for the stuff you guys do!
Another awesome editing job Editor Jack, amazing work as always. The videos you edit are amazing.
Oh, before I forget… well done Scott, good job as always.
Thanks, but it was actually mostly Toby who edited this one :)
@@Editor_JACK
I am giving the round of applause to Toby then! :)
Absolutely love Gwanson. Absolute legend.
That smoke cloud with 10 fire extinguishers was amazing but the fact that only 4 made such a big cloud too is just incredible.
GO editor Jack!
The paint slowies are amazing. I have one from way back as a wallpaper on my laptop.
That lumber looks rotten. Try fresh wet lumber and also try to slice the "block".
This thing is awesome! Been loving your vids for years, and I can’t stop watching them! Great job, HR!
2:40
Idk why.
But the yellow sprite can is kinda cool looking
When those last few fire extinguishers got chopped they blasted off again!!!
The axe its back! You guys always know how to brighten up people's days! Thank you for the videos keep up the great work
Peoples' day.
Plural possessive.
Well done to all of you. Jack amazingly at the Camera shots. Scott is doing amazing at winning when he does. Brett for winning most of the time and lastly for the great shots and completing the hardest shoot and making them Derek. You guys always keep us coming back for more and it is amazing. Can wait for what is next?
What about Rexy 😢
@@mikejefferys Rexy is the reason for the show. That is why I didn't have to say anything everyone LOVES REXY. He is the reason to watch. Everyone else is the side gig. Rexy also knows we all love him without a comment
I think the big axe is the most satisfying thing to watch on this channel, and the best invention of youtube-kind.
The slowmo with the paving stones has to be one of the best ever!
(2:04) - Why did that sound like the fart reverb meme? XD
5:23 look at the right side of the screen😂
Wasn’t sure about Gaunson’s “cross grain” explanation when it started, but it was actually very good. 😂 Don’t think I could explain it better myself.
Brilliant video. I have to say I thought the pavers would be slowwie of the day, but that spray can explosion pushes it pretty close...
Great to see you back guys ❤
Nice shots, editor Jack!
Thankyou!
Wood, at least in Sweden, is more flexible when it’s fresh and can kind of bend too but when it’s dry it can break easier when it bends, so I think it’s a little bit stronger when it’s freshly cut. Great video like allways, love it!! Props to Jack, amazing work!!
start a petition to get these legends to get a hydraulic press.
I absolutely love that every time I open one of your vids, and I see the action happening, I'm like, "Okay time for the clip reel and intro and it'll take another ten minutes to get to the juicy stuff."
And then I remember it's How Ridiculous, and, no. You get right to the action. 17 seconds in and we're already chopping.
Thanks guys. I love that yinz don't waste my time.
7:26 Get stuffed, Scott Gaunson. Editor Jack deserves ALL the attention he gets, and more! (And I do mean that with the utmost respect to you, Brett & Derek)
How get that emoji in your name
Applause for editor Jack! 👏👏
Not tuned in in a while. Gotta say loving the new laid back vibe to the channel

wood does indeed gain most strength properties as it dries out
Maybe. But, if you take a green twig, and a dry twig, the dry will snap, and the green tends to hold on to its fibers. I think a rematch is in order with fresh wood.
It becomes far more brittle as it dries
Splitting wet wood is an absolute pain in the ass
To answer the question about wood strength:
Yes, when wood is dried, it becomes STRONGER. However, overly dried wood can become very brittle, especially when you're working across the grain, which is why that dried log seemed to explode.
