Because this one just wasn't emotionally prepared to let go.
Or maybe he'd just been hit on the head one too many times! I know that feeling.

Cute discussion, BUTT: mushroomed wedges without grinding the heads at an angle will send shrapnel when sledgehammered.
Ask.
Once upon a time there were two (2) loggers cutting in the deep woods of Massachusetts, west of the metropolis called Boston.
These two(2) had not yet heard of the technique "noodling" to bust up large butts.
So, being strong in body they decided to bust up the big butts with old steel wedges and sledge hammers.
The strong body of one hit one of the old ( very used) steel wedge very very hard ( he had a strong body ).
An edge of the very old, mushroomed steel wedge flew into his right thigh, barely missing the femoral artery, but
creating severe bleeding. ( Chaps at that time were not used by strong bodied loggers, and considered sissy stuff. Whether or not
Kevlar chaps would have stopped a steel sliver is unknown).
Oh, he lived....barely.
And that Mr. Jet is the end.
NO.Do you limp?
Once upon a time
And that Mr. Jet is the end.
As our D.I. said : "common sense ain't common."I have beat on a number of mushroomed wedges in my 60 years. I'm pretty lucky in spite of my stupidity!,
Nope you are100% correct! I need to be wiser not just older. I did get a grinder is it ok to grind off those edges.As our D.I. said : "common sense ain't common."
Beat away, but think about this--those mushroomed edges are bent over, deformed, weak, and worn from your beathood. The force of a sledge, even in your elder species of 60 , easily can knock one tiny piece of that newly softened steel into a body part. "Once upon a time...."
Those mushroomed edges are easy to grind; be careful of not creating too much heat on the grinding stones that will weaken the steel.
Now, if you still feel lucky, look up the Darwin Award site.
Yea I'm sooooooooo tough!mushroomed edges are bent over, deformed, weak, and worn from your beat hood
lol
Yea I'm sooooooooo tough!
Love it! I'm a runner so I don't wheeze much. It's just my skinny lame as. Body that is a challenge!I am mildly tough for the first round of whacks. Then I am all strong and manly with big full whacks for a while, then I start panting and giving it somewhat smaller whacks, then I start wheezing and giving it little girly taps whilst alternately promising it punishment and rewards if the damn thing will just split already.
All in all, it might actually endear me to the ladies. If they like comedy. This theory also assumes there are some ladies hiding in the woods watching me split wood.
(I DO get the wood split, though!)
