I Was Surprised!

This is not a sponsored video. But the axe is made by Helko Werk.

[@user-yq7de8wh7q]

Hey Thoren, just wanted to say thanks man. I lost my brother 2 weeks ago to an overdose and I felt like I was losing my fucking mind. I don't know what it was about this channel but sparked something in me so yesterday I went out and bought a cheap ass ewing axe and cut my first tree down today. I understand it now. The feeling that you get whenever you're working you're f****** dick in the dirt, and you got blisters all over your hands and it's like drizzling outside and you're just sweating your ass off, and you know that you can't quit because you can visibly see the progress that you made in the tree, and then once you finally start here in that first crack from your back cut and it starts talking to you,.... I don't know how to say it without sounding corny but it was the first time that I actually felt like awake and completely present. I just want to say thanks man you may not get to see the positive that your channel is doing, but whether you see it or not man it's happening and I just want to tell you I truly do appreciate this channel man

[@aa-sz9xc]

So sorry to hear about the loss of your brother. Good move, getting out there into the woods and spending this quality nature time

[@wth......53]

Hey bro I'm so sorry to hear about your brother and from an overdose, wow that's really really hard to go through something like that I can only imagine. I'm addicted to fentanyl it's a real tough one man. God bless you and your family 🙏

[@Zairn12345]

Keep it up, bud. Sorry about your brother. Time will heal. Swinging an axe as hard as you can as healing as hell though. :)

When Thoren approached the log with an axe in his hand, the log said fork it, and split itself!

😂😂😂😂 underrated comment

[@voodoochile4147]

“Thick cheeks. Narrow cheeks. Love ‘em both.” It tickled me 🤭 that he had to blush a little at the double entendre. 😊😂 #littlecheeksmatter

The thing is that chopping axes also split firewood, although they are not designed for that, but sometimes they do the trick. The video was funny, hehe.

[@jeffarp7409]

My dad used to split wood with a chopping ax like that, accept he had a trick instead of letting it get stuck in the wood. When he would swing as soon as the cutting edge of the ax hit the wood he would twist his wrist and the side of the ax would hit and help split the wood and keep from sticking. It all happens in one motion, and is very hard to do. But he was pretty good at it.

[@thatguywiththechainsaws]

i didnt find it very hard to learn i saw this trick on buckinbillyray's youtube chanel

[@jeffarp7409]

@@thatguywiththechainsaws I was a kid back when he was showing me this, so I guess it looked harder back then.

Yay! You are back! You have saved me so much time splitting wood, thank u ❤

[@BigBobster86]

I think this is as much a testament to Thoren's skill as it is to the axe.

[@Killlin4]

Hardened with lubricant and cobalt most likely. Very expensive designed for both, I wouldn't risk hitting the head though, tempered throws metal chunks when used as a wedge axe.

[@mitchdavis9155]

"Idk, use it for whatever the fuck you want to use it for." 😂

As a Aussie, this is the axe to use on the eucalyptus. Trust me.

[@VegasEdo]

Love using a skinny axe on dry wood, it just splits apart. Use that same force on green wet wood and the bit sinks in a few inches and it ain't comin out.

[@ThorenBradley]

If it's softwood. That is very true. But this is hardwood...easier when green or fresh

[@bluebutterflies4568]

😂😂😂 That was beautiful!! "Use it for whatever tf you wanna use it for" 😅😅😅

[@user-mb1ng6ps3x]

Love the "snap, snap" almost as much as I love the suspenders!! Where can I get a set!?

[@uncensoredreality]

Moral of the story…don’t fuck with Thoren regardless of the axe 😂

[@stephengosnell729]

The reaction when it split the wood 😂

[@Uzidoesitson]

If the wood is super dry, the chopping axe being so much sharper will slice right through it. I notice the biggest difference when the wood is soaked, or twisted gum or something like that. That’s when the mauls come out

[@codyengelhardt4074]

Damn Brother you're a beast😂

[@corygorse3600]

Even the wood wants to split and spread for this guy 😂

[@frontierfishingwithryanmac1981]

Nice and shiny!

[@ThorenBradley]

Very!

[@Steve-st4gf]

Chopping axes suck to use on freshly cut green wood, but once the wood dries a bit it blows right through it

[@ThorenBradley]

I am NOT trying to tell you I told you so here. But just for context. This is oak. And oak is easier to split when green. And this wood is green here.

[@Steve-st4gf]

@ThorenBradley 100% agree, I'm just saying, I wouldn't use a cutting axe over a maul or thicker profile axe head with green wood, unless only tool in the shed, I've split wood professionally for a good part of 20 years, I do like the way a cutting axe head blows through wood that has been bucked up and sitting for a bit, but we all regret the battle between them big knotty hardwood pieces and all we have is a cutting axe

[@lukesorensen8457]

Thorn bro, im Australian and i use a old Plum Axe for splitting my redgim at home, yes they can get stuck but i find it splits heaps better then a splitter. If you can find a old plum axe head buy it

[@MARKluvsAZcards]

Never enough f works. 😂 my kinda coworker

[@TreeTop1324]

I have a little 3.5 pound like this and I've used it to split 40 pound logs, although it took a bit it worked pretty well

[@mararm8099]

thick cheeks, narrow cheeks... love em both. well said

[@aspiceronni4462]

That looks like a racing axe. I would say 400 maybe 500 bucks? Its like a Ferrari where a regular axe is a F-250. Am i somewhat close?

[@HollerHomestead]

Ive been needing a new handle for my splitting axe so ive been using my regular axe on smaller rounds with surprisingly a similar experience

[@christianpurucker2578]

"And here is why that shouldn't work:" *works* "Eehm.. 😅" I guess your skill is too good now, to demonstrate the issue, since you probably could split wood with a baseballbat 😂 Good work

[@paulhomsy2751]

Concave and convex are the terms you're looking for. The one "with no cheeks" is of a concave design, the other one "with cheeks" is convex...
