Log hewing in the woods with a Gransfors model1900 Hewing Axe! Making coffee over the campfire!

In this video I use a Gransfors model 1900 hewing axe to hew a pine log in the forest. This is my second attempt to hew a log, and a great opportunity for other beginners as well as experts to experience the learning process. And I also make some delicious Swedish coffee over a cozy campfire when my family joins me in the woods. This is the ultimate outdoor experience!

Great to see you making coffee in the woods ,with your family 😂 , watching you work that log into a useable beam / plank ,was really inspirational , to see it done was great and especially that you were learning as you progressed , gave me an idea ,that i might want to give it a try myself , thanks , a day in the woods will do me a lot of good !

Glad to see you liked it. There will be more days like that in spring and summer. But I’ll post those videos on my new channel, so I hope you’ll be watching that as well.

A couple of stakes driven into the ground to stabilise the bottom support logs would have helped. Nice work!

[@myableways]

Yes, probably. I’ll upgrade a bit for next log.

@@myableways Subbed there to! Thank you my friend! I'm always grateful for opportunities to learn... :)

[@myableways]

Thanks, that’s great to hear. I hope you’ll find some useful tips in my videos.

Good show! I bet my cut would beeves more crooked. Although in the video you seemed to work faster at the end with the lower log hight, must just have been an editing thing. Also the fire looked animated ;D but since it made coffee I guess it was kind of real :D

[@myableways]

The coffee made me speed up the process! Or maybe I just improved a bit at the end.

[@luizfishing7438]

I would do the hewing part slightly different and more top down 😊

[@myableways]

Ok, how to you mean?

[@keen9629]

My dad used to get 25 cents each for hewing railroad ties with a broad axe.

[@myableways]

I guess he had to be pretty quick with the axe to put food on the table then … funny, I just watched a small video of John Foreman, an old expert in that trade.

My lower back would kill me... 😅

[@myableways]

Probably. You’ll have to settle with watching.
