An inspiring book with lots of ideas for a variety of garden buildings The instructions are detailed and clear with plenty of photos. As a beginner ruclips.net/user/postUgkxlg1H4xyrEBR03VoimQHdPx6Ebmzrr0nO I was looking for a manual that would walk me through the basics with detailed instructions and this book does just that. The book caters to both the beginner and more experienced DIY enthusiast with builds varying in complexity, from straightforward projects such as the one we've completed, to more ambitious builds. Absolutely on trend, with instructions on how to install solar panels, green roofs and sweet chestnut shakes - It's given me lots of ideas for future projects!
My dad thought wood cutting/splitting was good for me as it taught me to overcome! Those 24 inch Pinion stumps that had to be attacked with 2-3 wedges and a 16 lb sledge hammer were my enemies to conquer. I imagined they were all sorts of things from the bully boys at school to wild beasts! It took about 20 minutes per chunk to get them to stove wood size. I made my boys do it the same way but after they left home I got a hydraulic wood splitter! Ha!
Birch is a fun wood to split as it grows straight and tall and has few knots. Honestly, it would be more effort trying to choose logs that are hard to split than not.
Yes it is a nice sound. But I find that fresh birch is easier to split. It's like butter. You hardly need to use any power at all. Feels like just staring the log hard enough would split it.
These men are so impressive. And I bet they've been developing those muscles all their lives. I starting trying to split wood at 65 (female) - no bueno, lol. But I wish ALL teenagers would get out and work like this more, instead of hunched down over video games 8 hrs a day. We might have a lot less mental health problems and chronic illness in modern society.
@Spencer Reed Hard part is so many spaces have been destroyed by industry - hard to go chop wood when the nearest healthy trees are two hours out of town. Can't play in grass when the only empty lots are full of broken glass and used needles. Can't go outside when the addicts and aggressive homeless are all hanging around. We've destroyed so much in pursuit of a dollar, the only places left to enjoy are of our own making - books, games, movies, etc where the world isn't a polluted, socially dystopian mess.
Well if you live in Northern Europe, like this guy in the video does, birch wood is the best choice for firewood as it burns clean, is easy to split and is readily available. Like many trees in these latitudes most birch species grows long and straight with branches higher up in the tree. So there are long straight sections with no knots. My tip is to split the tree within couple of weeks from felling as it is even easier to split when it is wet. Even the knots are fairly easy to split when the wood is moist.
Pretty good. To make it faster and to be able to keep going at that pace, add a car tyre to your block. Saves all the up 'n' down picking up stray pieces. Crack-on thunder-guns!
Ah, the good old days. I loved doing that when it was about - 15F and no wind. You might try this though. Screw an old tire on the top of that (laying it on it's side) and you can split faster cuz you won't have to constantly clear and pick up pieces.
oh man I wish we could could do that here in Australia, most of our stuff the axe just bounces off, I love pine though, easy to split, burns hot and fast.
Well, the simple solution is to pay attention and to not be an idiot. I've split wood for 30+ years in all manner of configurations: On the ground, on high stumps, on low stumps, whatever. Never had a single accident. Never as in ever. You just have to maintain your focus on whatever it is you are doing. Once your focus starts slipping, stop and take a break. Then resume.
Powerful technique. Beside that the wood is easy. No matter how good you are in splitting, there always wood who doesn't want to split. Greetings Gerrit
I’m approaching my 50’s and my Day is in his 80’s. I split all my wood by hand…. My dad still does too. There are quicker ways to do things but like a good pint of Guinness certain things are worth the wait👍🏻☘️
The video with a buff gigachad splitting logs in a scenic landscape is definitely for ladies, but I bet the subscriber base is all men interested in traditional (northern-)european architecture and crafts.
Just re-visited your website. Last time it was john neeman with the most beautiful tools my eyes had ever seen, with the wood finished in oil and that's it. Now there stain and leather wrap. Focusing more on the weapon look ...A touch tacky and vulgar me thinks, and for very specific market. Maybe time to go back to your roots. They were the best tools I had ever seen.
Stamina . Where's mine ? Those dreaded Books ,TV's and TV shows , Movies , Computers , Tablets , and Smart Phones must of took my Stamina . 🤷♂️😡🤦♂️ Beautiful scenery and architecture . Where is this general location ?

These machines are amazing. They run on very little food and last for decades.
😆😆😆😆😆
Results may vary... Terms and conditions apply.
Hahaha😂😂
Nope yer wrong…you don’t get a machine like that without feeding it well both in quality and quantity!
Joints are a pain in the knee to replace though :(

same, two young guys then saner fot it!
Must be nice to have nice straight-grained wood to split. I have nothing but stringy nasty oak to split where I live. lol
Best machine EVER made right there! :) ❤
Cool, but it's easy without knots
Birch is a fun wood to split as it grows straight and tall and has few knots. Honestly, it would be more effort trying to choose logs that are hard to split than not.
I just love the sound of seasoned birch splitting...so satisfying.
Yes it is a nice sound. But I find that fresh birch is easier to split. It's like butter. You hardly need to use any power at all. Feels like just staring the log hard enough would split it.
I too have mastered the axe. Been swinging it since i could remember. In the 80s, on Navajo land, no one used heaters. Today, still the same. ✊️

You picked the straightest grained wood just for the video, didn’t you? 🙂
Exactly, give him a couple pieces of beech and see how he does
@@wizewoods9130 Yeah, or some oak or wild cherry wood pieces. That would not be this spectacular.
@@TheRavenD and throw in a random piece of over-aged cottonwood. Its like trying to split a sponge, axe goes in to the handle and sticks.
@@Vikingwerk yup... That old cottonwood bites back... Seen one eat an iron wedge once.

To make it faster and to be able to keep going at that pace, add a car tyre to your block. Saves all the up 'n' down picking up stray pieces.

No car tyre equals more exercise equals more muscle. Comfort is for the weak.
Ah, the good old days. I loved doing that when it was about - 15F and no wind.
You might try this though. Screw an old tire on the top of that (laying it on it's side) and you can split faster cuz you won't have to constantly clear and pick up pieces.
I did that. It is absolutely sublime.
Nah. Pick those pieces up and get some well needed exercise.
Jesus that grain is straight as an arrow.
A system that makes the energy it takes : the honest relation in life without cheating.
My Viking brethren. Thank you for reminding me.
Which axe is this? 🪓 🤔
we need more videos on this channel !
You may not realize how valuable times like these are.
oh man I wish we could could do that here in Australia, most of our stuff the axe just bounces off, I love pine though, easy to split, burns hot and fast.
One bit of advice. An axe blade should never go below the level of your knees. Four stitches later I learned the reason for that rule.
seems like he knows what he is doing
Yeah, this is definitely one of those guys who never makes mistakes. And I’ll be here to laugh at him when he takes a couple fingers off.

Is the 6 pack coming as an option or standard feature?

That wood is well seasoned. A satisfying splitting indeed.
I like that, air cooled, self fueled. But, will it pollute the atmosphere? You never know.
The elite climate change hoax will have you believe that in fact it will pollute the atmosphere.
depends on what you feed it
Self powered the only way to go. It's also guiet and you get a good workout. Blessings to you and your family.
That's so manly. I'm growing chest hair just looking at this.
That must be some really dried out wood for it to split so easily.
It is birch. I find that birch splits easier when it is freshly cut and still contains moisture.
What a beautiful machine!
@Dave-nm3xc I want to run my hands all over it :)
Yea my model doesn't look like that
I feel like this dude does not suffer from depression...
I can watch hard work all day.
In the right circumstances these machines are self-replicating too.
Damn, where can I get one?
Seems very handy & strongly high in quality!...
Now, give that man some hickory.
What model of Billnas or Kelokoski is this? First thought was between 16 or 32 models...
Try doing this with Australian timbers. ;-)
You mean something like Queensland kauri? Shouldn´t be a problem 😆
Birch looks good for sheilas
Oh you mean the ax...
try inserting logs into the tire
A sharp axe, dry birchwood and THE machine.
Любо дорого смотреть😁👍👍👍
Where does one get an axe like that?
fucking thing of beauty.
This guy:
The Lumberjack Games? Never heard of her
... and no need to go to a cheesey gym.
Got some twisted white oak I'd like to see that machine split without a splitter 😅
May I choose the wood
The multi tool lol

Да дрова колоть это удовольствие если есть конечно здоровье для меня это как отдых запах смолы дерева привет из Сибири 👍👍👍🪓💪🇷🇺
Хороший топор!!😁
A car tire on the stump would be useful. You would bend less.
Nice. Now try this with beech.

Look like the wood we use to make matches,.
Nice axe!!!!!
Soft straight wood always looks effortless. Try being so non chalant with a piece of hardwood
He is cutting birch, witch is a hardwood. Although it is one of the easiest hardwoods to split.
Next time can you sing us a song when you are done?
Always more manly when not wearing a shirt. Gotta love those splinters and other debris catching you in the abdomen to make you feel more alive.
Finnish axe for the win perkele 🇫🇮
l use the same machin. birchwood is the best ✌️
This is an oddly satisfying video....
What a wonderful invention ❤❤
I feel like he doesn't even workout. He just eats healthy and works hard
I'll give him a peice of Australian yellow box ...see how he goes . This is piss funny..😂🤣😎🇦🇺👌
That axe!!!!!
Ochsenkopf Spaltfix is my splitting machine, 2,5 Kg head weight
A simple man💪🏼
Сухая берёзка то , аж звенит .
that's how it's done
👍Kellokoski or Billnäs?
I got an old dried out cottonwood stump I bet he couldn't do that with
As much as the axe is balanced. Are both your arms/hands as proficient as each other ?
I don’t see the machine. There’s a man with an ax which is definitely not swinging itself. Pretty good technique though.
Self powered.
Wood cutters are silly. They pick it up, split it, and it goes to the ground just to pick it up again! Why?🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
It’s a great work out also
10 out of 10😮
Well... slavery being illegal and all, the only way I can get a machine like that is to become the machine myself.
Stamina . Where's mine ? Those dreaded Books ,TV's and TV shows , Movies , Computers , Tablets , and Smart Phones must of took my Stamina . 🤷♂️😡🤦♂️ Beautiful scenery and architecture . Where is this general location ?
Looks like without gas but oxigen. Nice work.

He hand pick blocks wood with no knots I see lol why he chopping those dry wood easy lol

If you keep practicing you'll be as good as that 10 year old video of a barefoot girl splitting wood! 😂just kidding
His hand is very close
He does let go of the log most times before the ax lands. Not super safe, but safer than holding onto the log.
Ugh i hate that softwood, use what you got i suppose
He is splitting birch, witch is a hardwood. Easy to split hardwood, but a hardwood nonetheless.
