Testing new axe hangs! Plumb & Hytest Tasmainian pattern .. Splitting oak.. plus chainsaw chat

In this video I split some wood with a Hytest and plumb usa Axes I've just hung. I also have a gossip about the chainsaw world and where new saws are headed.
‪@elemental4rce‬ is the handle maker. Can't wait to get some more from him!

Really like your videos friend keep them coming 😊from Scotland

[@walkerscountrylife]

Thankyou Iain! Really appreciate your views and comments 👍

[@tbruce-sawsandsplitting]

Morning! This video is so appropriate rn, had two handles break yesterday

[@walkerscountrylife]

Morning dude, Arghhhh, nightmare. Those woodsmith handles are Ok.. if you want something nicer do hit up Owen, his are lovely.

[@tbruce-sawsandsplitting]

@@walkerscountrylife definitely will be getting some of his asap but am skint atm so gonna have to make some, I've got some oak stock and a few patterns to work with.. I think I was treating them a bit harshly tbh, too many back strikes

[@walkerscountrylife]

@@tbruce-sawsandsplitting making your own 🙌 though if you can find some ash I think that might be more suitable?

[@tbruce-sawsandsplitting]

@@walkerscountrylife yeah that would be ideal, just gotta work with what I got atm.. work is dry without transport! Test soon though!! 🤞🤞🤞

That's a nice looking pre-1917 Plumb Tassie. Great old axes.

[@walkerscountrylife]

Thankyou! I've got a few hytests, would like to know more about them.

[@axesofoz717]

I will be doing a video on Hytest history soon on my channel. Might be of interest. Cheers.@@walkerscountrylife

[@walkerscountrylife]

@@axesofoz717 will look out for it!

[@BigAlsWorksaws]

Nice! I don't know anything about axes really. I've just got a ratty old splitting maul whose head is about to fall off. I agree about Stihl continuing to develop. It's a shame about husky, I think what they do they do really well. They gave aways been big heavy powerhouses which is awesome. Even the t540xp top handles are big brutes. There's alot of talk about the new t540xp III which looks awesome. Their battery t540i is also excellent.

[@walkerscountrylife]

We need to get you a nice Tassie! Yeah I certainly don't think husky are over yet for sure! Thanks for your help yesterday, really appreciate it.

[@BigAlsWorksaws]

@@walkerscountrylifeMy pleasure mate! I hope it was actually useful and I didn't just get in the way. Yea considering how much I have used that maul it probably would be worth getting a good splitting axe.

[@rakersdownnz]

Maybe . . A nice Oak chopping block in the future 😜

[@walkerscountrylife]

Maybe mate!! You mean a kitchen board or a splitting block?

[@patrickvennard838]

A wood splitter would not be therapeutic, I love splitting Oak especially the unique smell it has. As you know I have only recently bought a Stihl and the power to weight was the deciding factor. I remember 15 years ago, I chose a Husqvarna 353 for the same reason. Maybe next year Husqvarna will introduce something new.

[@walkerscountrylife]

Anytime with oak is good! Yes, I really hope husky have some news soon..

[@fpvflightairborne2168]

Let husky loose and bought out like KTM did. It's gonna happen. The people that run husky are dumb.
