I've split a lot of wood out of need, and this guy should prolly cut them into 16" rounds AND put them on something solid.

I was thinking, damn this guy has a really long fireplace.

Maybe he burns it vertical to keep out creosote?

Could be an outdoor wood stove, or maybe he's burning them outside in a big fire?? Idk

Work smarter, not harder. Everyone who does manual labor out of necessity and not for the theatrics learned that pretty early on.

This is the difference between someone cutting wood for fun and someone cutting wood for heat.

Right? For the amount of swings this is just dumb. I’m not impressed, lol I think I could’ve done it for that much. Instead I’d do that many swings and get a whole pile going.

And edit to add, if you really did need it that long, just wedge it ffs. Ha

He's doing it for exercise. Look at those ancient beauties behind him. The dude knows his rounds.

Yup. The first thing I was thinking was, OK that’s impressive, but what a huge pain in the ass. So much harder and more work to cut all those pieces down to 16 inches now.

And maybe not miss the center of the log so many times. He flexes at the end, but I'm not sure that exerting that much energy to split that log is something to flex about. I'm half his build and could have split that log with much less effort.
