What is a Splitting Wedge Used For?

I like to use the tip of my chainsaw bar to make a slot in the round to start the wedge in.

This dude is cool.

It's oak it 🤪 like splitting iron > trust me I've split a lot of oak.

That is some hard wood

Hit the edges

Looks great my friend. Wedges and safety glasses. Great work. Thanks

ESAS PUNTAS SON MUY PRACTICAS. OK.

Looks like red oak. Have fun.

You made me tired already

I think 🤔 I'll rent a splitter, just saying..

хороший

You just need a better attack and method to the russian madnese

I'm tired just watching this.

Is that wood petrified?

What is that 😳 a freaking rubber tree?

What is name of the smaller one.
Bites easier

You need to go with the grain.. puts it across the grain.

have to know how to use tools

Adamantium wood :)

Axe just bounces off that rubber stump

You covered all the possibilities.Спасибо из Греции , друг.

The rubber tree is hard to split. He was trying to drive a wedge between us. Oops there goes another rubber tree plant. 🪵

Quercia .

Sharpen the maul mate

I have split elm 4 times bigger than that, even if I use wedges its still hard.

Thank you... that was a big help..

Me when I split wood @ :50

Wege is quick start. Take the power saw and strip a notch in the log. 👍

Nice

Should i end my life?

what you all on about a wedge for the dead centre of Any Log pmsl x

Thank you sir God bless you! 🙋🙏

I have had great success with the blue eastwing wedge, but I have to be able to start a groove with the winged maul that is your favorite one. I have hear the tips break off of the spiral wedges. I assume you could just grind it to a point again. I also always use some kind of a base under the rounds, it allows you to transmit energy to the round much more efficiently.

ХАРД ЫНГЛЫШЪ!! )))

Great video Taras! You rock!

My husband suggests more than safety goggles... Steel toe aboots, Shin guards, and armored non-slip gloves 😅

Pussies

I like your site, it informs me and makes me laugh....BOOM!!!

Cut a groove with your chainsaw a couple inches deep and put the wedge in the groove. Way easier than pounding it with a sledgehammer.

Это каха?

Two wedgervand a maul

Hit the sides of it and it will split

Я звичайно не проти таких старань) Но розколоти набагато простіше якщо перевернути. Тойсть колоти по свіжому зрізу. Апарат класний... хотів би такий

1. You hit wood like a girl 2. hit it from the wet side 3. use your axe to create a groove for your wedge. Same principal as pre drilling screw holes 4. for real big rounds with knots, use your chainsaw to bore cut it for an easier split 5. you hit wood like a girl

He doesn't know how to split wood. He should have started at the edges with the mail axe.

This was an excellent video. I learned from it. Thank you for posting this.

Use TWO wedges on big stuff. On hardwood, like this oak.
Eye AND ear protection.
Split on hard ground (easier splitting), on the cut stump, or move log there. You can use a 4lb hammer to set wedge in wood, then switch to 8-10 lb sledge hammer.
The colder the air temp, the easier the splitting.
Fully seasoned wood -- the bark falls off. Never try to split green wood.
What type of oak? Red, black?

See she was right 🤭🤭🤭🤭
