Well, win nothing except perhaps some bragging rights.....

Now anyone - or at least anyone with two fingers - can chop wood against some of our top Forum members!

See and play the new game at:
http://www.hearth.com/woodchop/

Note: Hearth.com is not responsible for replacing your keyboard when you destroy the arrow keys!

Enjoy, this is my little holiday gift to our readers....(or at least one of them).......

JP. did you invent that thing? It is cool....

Additional features possible.....
a hand crank and gear system for more traction and less pushing (unit moves slower but with more torque)
a pedaling attachment with gearing

No, my cousin did.  I’m just trying to help him out by spreading the word.
The skinny tire wouldn’t provide enough traction as a drive wheel I don’t think, not to mention the extra engineering and materials would drive the cost up to that of a small snow blower.  Frankly I think he needs to get the cost down, but it does work well.  Takes a little practice at first.  The technique is to push a little and fill the blade, then push down quickly on the handle which throws the snow.  Much easier on the back than regular shoveling.
