After years of using a maul I made in high school I bought a splitter! ? As a younger fella I enjoyed splitting, good exercise and stress reliever! And it was fun to go to a county fair and rattle that bell ever time!!
It built character!Good info.
FWIW- I have never met my match at firewood shucking.
A little past my prime now but, there simply was no equal.
If I didn't have to mess with the knotted wood, I was faster than two men on a splitter... If I stuck a maul on a stroke, I could follow up with a one-handed whack with a sledgehammer just as fast as if I never missed a stroke.
I started off my younger days following behind my uncle's logging crew and selling firewood...

I ALWAYS wanted to hit one of those things. the ONE TIME I was at a fair and it was there it was tore up and being worked on while I was there. back then I was a little skinny guy and im sure that would have been a good one to watch.After years of using a maul I made in high school I bought a splitter! ?

Once at the Cumming fair there was a group of Mexicans banging away,couldn’t any one ring that thing. I smacked the bell 3times and got my little stuffed snake and walked away. Funniest thing a few folks saw that day!I ALWAYS wanted to hit one of those things. the ONE TIME I was at a fair and it was there it was tore up and being worked on while I was there. back then I was a little skinny guy and im sure that would have been a good one to watch.
