Excellent tutorial video! The Fiskars X25/X27 is also my favorite tool. I use the parallel stance overhead swing. In my swing, I focus on acceleration from overhead to the target area on the round. Isaac Newton said that force = mass x acceleration. The mass of the X25/27 is fixed, so that leaves one variable! Interestingly, splitting wood is much like martial arts: focus on thru the target, breathing techniques, great core exercise & explosion of power. Thanks!

Red and white oak and ash were my favorite woods to split. You have great form. So many people try to split with just their arms and shoulders. The secret is to do what you do, pitch it up into the air, when it is at its apex, slide the hand down and squat as you pull it down. You get the power from the largest muscles in the body, the thighs. Those Fiskars do a nice job.

@@InTheWoodyardAgreed. I feel the same way about the tire thing. Now I have to lift it up and in and then back out to clear the tire. I’d rather just get the rounds where they need to be with the skid loader bucket, stand up any that need it and get to it. I have two splitters in the property as I run about 15 cord through in a cold year, so the least amount of handling I can do the better. But for monster rounds like I’m processing this summer, even when the splitter is being run vertically they are a huge amount to position, so hand splitting makes a lot of sense, even problem pieces can often get worked down to a much more reasonable size and then left to sit around so they get even lighter drying out. I enjoy your common sense approach; you turned me on to Dremel chain sharpening as well, it’s my go to now for keeping 8 saws going. Thank you and good luck with your venture.

Splitting straight grain wood no knots is faster than a splitter. As soon as you get a knot or twist to the wood move it to the splitter. My rule, take 3 swings is the round does not split save it for the splitter or the younger people.
@InTheWoodyard3 ай бұрын
You must have a slow splitter. I can easily split 1 full cord an hour by myself and if I have help we can easily do more that 2 full cords an hour. My splitter is a Eastonmade Ultra with a 4 second cycle time...feeding it fast enough is the only bottle neck. And it can go for hour after hour after hour after hour all day every day with out resting. But I do still enjoy using a axe/maul to split wood too, it is good exercise but much slower.
@anthonycolbourne420613 күн бұрын
7:12 With the heavier maul, you don't have to put as much force into the swing, the mass and shape of the head does a lot of the splitting compared to the speed you need to swing the x27 to get the same results. Either one will wear you out one way or the other. If you don't mind hefting the extra weight, give the maul a try... they work wonders. Accuracy is something to work on with a maul for sure
@InTheWoodyard13 күн бұрын
I started splitting wood when I was about 8 years old with an axe and then a maul at 10-11ish and used 6-8-10 pound mauls for decades and once I tried an x27 about 5 years ago I rarely touch a maul any more. I can get more done faster and am less tired with it...I have 3 so when my boys or friends want to help we don't fight over them. No one wants to use the mauls for very long.

My splitting maul of choice which my middle son inherited was my Sotz 18# Monster Maul. At 6'7" and 245 (at the time) I can assure you that you did not swing that beast like an axe. It was the overhead and the goal was to get as much momentum as you could. Rounds the size you were splitting would literally explode when hit. Would handle up to about 24" red oak and after that it was sledge and wedge. Keep the great content coming...really enjoy it!

Split about 19 face this last winter. 66 years old and people think I’m crazy, buy a splitter they say. Then the look on their face when told it’s in the garage! It’s only used in the spring for the last 3-4% of crotch wood. I just don’t like the idea of exercising without accomplishing anything, therefore my “gym” is just out the front door. By the way I have to chime in on the frozen splitting. For me woods splits way better below 32 degrees. I even split at -32 once and really did not split better than +20.

Imo, the Fiskars- all day long. Because you CAN swing it all day long, lol. My old 8# maul wore me down too quickly. It was also kind of crappy- too blunt, and the "cheeks" were too wide too quickly, making it bounce off way too often. Not to mention it mostly just left a dent without starting any cracks... I used it primarily on stubborn, semi splits. When the handle cracked and the head flew off one day, I didn't bother repairing or replacing it. If my Fiskars or my double bit can't do it, I have a sledge and wedges. Or I'll just use the saw, lol. Screw beating myself up trying to split gnarly, stringy, knotty crotchy stuff! Just rip it into slabs, or slice it into cookies or chunks and be done with it! It burns just the same. (what can I say- I get ornery when a chunk of wood tries to tell me NO!)

When it gets covered with splits on the ground or is laying in the woods in red oak leaves it is hard to see without the tape!

The wood splitting better when below 0F is an old wives told by old wives to get the hubby out of the house middle of the winter, wood splits mucho better with a higher moisture content and not frozen together so YOU!😁 should repeat this demo again about mid August and wait for the heat of the day. GNI 1%💩😁

Nope. wood splits better when frozen...added expansion pressure!

Why don't you have a pink saw so you can find it in the woods

Pink saws are purple.

Cottonwood does not split that good even dry; cold helps a lot though. (subzero)
@iffykidmn81703 ай бұрын
Cotton wood produces similar heat splitting as burning it.😁

I have not broke one but some claim to have broken them (probably on purpose...might have been a woodhandleonly fan boy ) but if one does break the company will replace it so..... Kind of unbreakable!
