  • Using my favorite vintage Collins Legitimus Connecticut pattern axe to fell a tree.
    Cutting firewood the old way to practice axemanship and keep this skill alive.
    its damn fine cardio as well😉

    looks like a well setup axe.
    i'm still working on getting myself a decent condition conneticut.
    nice clean axe work and good to see you managed to retain a hinge on it. Shame you're not in the UK!
    Keep turning out vids please! the more real axe content out there the better!

    Sweet axe. Nice cross wedging. Also nice clean face cut. I don’t know how much it matters with small trees, but it’s what I like to see.

    • @elemental4rce
      @elemental4rce 3 года назад +1

      i'd consider that a fair sized tree and it's definitely important to get your face cut clean and accurate if you want something that size to come down with any control.

      @@elemental4rce i always looked at it like this,
      If the tree is big enough to kill me or do serious damage, I better take the time to do the job right so I know where its gunna go.
      On a side not, I was surprised my holding wood mostly broke after it fell. Odd for such stringy wood.

    can you imagine the early european settlers having to do this to clear the land for farmland all by hand then they had to get a beast of burden to help pull out the stump from the ground the early Settlers had to be STRONG AF!

      Its a 28" that started off as a House Handle Co baseball bat.
      It seems the originals were on a 28 as well

    There were plenty of fallen trees to test cut ur axe, can't see the reason why u had to cut down a live tree.
    The axe is nice tho.

    • @beavercreekwoodcraft8134
      @beavercreekwoodcraft8134  3 года назад

      This was not test cutting.
      It was felling a tree, one of many that were part of a selective harvest.
      Thanks for watching!
