Chopping Logs: Things To Know Before Proceeding.

Chopping Logs: Things To Know Before Proceeding.

“Chopping wood for your fire can be a potential disaster, but with a little preparation and knowledge, you can safely produce a stack of logs. Always wear safety equipment, and make sure there are no bystanders or pets in the vicinity. Your goal is to hit the log directly in the centre: a glancing blow may result in injury to yourself, so aim carefully. Never use a dull or damaged axe, and don’t attempt to chop logs at all if you have back problems.”

How To Stand When Chopping Wood

“Plant your feet firmly on the ground, shoulder width apart to balance your weight. Place one hand at the end of the axe handle, and hold tight close to the axe head with the other. Raise the axe in an arc over your shoulder, aim carefully for the centre, swing hard, and follow through to force the axe head right through the log and imbed itself in the chopping block”

Practical tip….

Look after your tools and they’ll last longer. When you're finished using the axe, lightly oil the blade to prevent rust and put a cover over it for safety reasons and to help keep it sharp.

<p>As I journey through the pa...

As I journey through the pages of this quirky find, I will return and share advice from simpler times when things moved at a different pace and a day seemed longer. It was when friends gathered on front porches, exchanging stories about life and laughing a time, when cell phones weren’t glued to our hands. When the street lights came on you knew to go home. Catching fireflies on summer nights and listening to the crackle of a vinyl record playing. A time when neighbors knew each other by name, and Sunday dinners were a thing. There is magic in the simplicity of it all.
