Thank you so much! I think I am going to try to do a room tour soon! And if not my room at home soon, I will def so my dorm room soon. My room is my favorite indoor place! It took a couple years of rearranging things and collecting things and trying out different ways of decorating and displaying things. Over time it just built up into a cozy eclectic place I love. I hope you can have a room you love one day too!
Keep trying with the wood splitting - you'll get it. A few things popped into my mind as I watched your efforts. I wonder if that axe is maybe a bit heavy for you? I love my light weight Fiskars axe. It doesn't look all old timey, but it is the right heft for me and the shape of the cutting edge works well for me. Also, be sure the wood you are trying to split is dry, that the piece is not full of knots or twists. And softer woods like pine and fir are probably easier to split than hardwoods. No point trying to learn on the really hard to work with wood! I like to use a chopping block (usually just one of the larger pieces off the log pile) because I think it gives me a better angle of attack on the piece I'm splitting. It also provides a safety stop for the axe if I miss by a bit. The most important thing, though, is to always have in mind where that axe is going to go if it doesn't hit the log, or the log falls over, or if the axe glances off the edge, or any other oddball thing. Keep all body parts out of the path of that sharp object! Good luck with your learning process. And if you ever get the chance, try splitting wood at -20 degrees F. The rounds just pop apart! Very gratifying!
Thank you for the advice! To be honest I only watched as far as swing technique in the videos. I should have known but I didn't really think about how wet the wood was. I knew it should not be soaking but I think with all the rain our wood is damp! Especially in the second time I tried. I had no idea there were different weight axes! I knew there were different types and lengths, but wow, that is something to look into. I'd like to try with some larger pieces of wood as well. But yes, I think I have part of the technique down, but I definitely need a lot of work! I noticed when watching the clips back that I didn't use a lot of control to make sure I knew where the ax was going to fall if it didn't hit the wood. Wow, it's been pretty cold here lately but not negatives! But it's been dry too --> with snow, so maybe I'll try to chop some again soon! Thank you so much!

I loved the lobster trap tree. I've always lived on the west coast and have never seen anything like that before. Thanks for posting!
Glad you enjoyed it! Apparently it's fairly popular over here on the East Coast!
I love your room so much! I hope to have a room like you someday :)
