    What would you recommend for a light duty, but fairly usable axe/hatchet? I just recently moved and plan to get a fire pit and a smoker. I won't be using an axe day in and day out, but occasionally. I would like something relatively affordable, but fairly easy to use and maintain. Thanks!

Well, I'm 63 and short. my splitter broke so now I have to do hand splitting. I have a Friskar x270. Question ? What kind of ax would you recommend for someone like me. Again, Thank you so much for all that I've learned from you! Still learning.God Bless, with many Blessings your way.

They are underappreciated pieces of working history from a time almost every town had a different take on the perfect billhook.Good video thx..

Well yesterday I finally found a sweet Mac 10-10, runs beautifully. Today my co-worker asks me if I want another old powersaw, brings it over and it’s an XL76 that runs like a top!

    Would be to cool to see you have your customers (like Bryan) have a swing with those restored beauties. Teach them your technique and what not. You make it looks so "easy". Contrasting that with someone less experienced would be interesting to see. I'm still new to your excellent channel though. So maybe you've done that a bunch already and I missed it. Keep up the great work, regardless.

    • @2-MuleTeam

      Matthew, this guy can split and he can work! I'm older than him. My dad (depression era rural farmer) taught me to swing an axe and a hammer, but I grew up in the city. So because of experience I am by most measures an amateur. Lots of guys here can split well. I'm the perfect person to put out there next to him. And I submit that 50% of his efficiency is "aim". When he puts that second blow into his first entry point and he is within a 1/16", that is axemanship. See that on every swing? Dead on, not to mention he puts high energy into those swings which is deceiving.

He'd wake up with his ears sewed to the mattress, haha I won't mention what would come next! If he was lucky he'd just have an accident and fall in the well. 👀 but then the well water tasted funny and the cows wouldn't drink it😂
