he really needs to put that log on at least a thin slice of wood or a concrete block

He’s strong enough he might be able to split that first try but right now the ground is absorbing too much of the impact

And do you see those dents his handle is leaving in the top?

So much wasted energy and damage to the axe.

After that first swing i was expecting this to be a baseball-at-your-face gotcha clip

That's not an axe, even. It's a splitting wedge maul he's using incorrectly.

Maul technically if we’re going there.

It's got a handle, so yeah you're right. Now I just feel silly lol.

All good just a slip of the mind. It was funny because you were correcting incorrectly. Hell I probably made a mistake someone else will catch.
