Good lord.
I've stood on more than one of those facing the other guy with an axe alternating blows. You are smarter.

Well not sure how much smarter. Here I have this new splitter that does the horizontal and vertical splitting. Well, as smart as I am, I still find myself heaving chunks into the horizontal postion to split. I must say that I really prefer splitting horizontally. I was thinking about that today. My work has me sedentary for much of my day. I really don't want to sit when I'm working around the house. But splitting vertically forces me to sit down.
By the way, I split this near the end of my day when I was getting a little tired, so sitting down was welcome.

Another BWS convert. 
Gotta get a milk crate to sit on. LOL :lol:
It does look like fun to split one that big.

:lol: Another convert? Maybe. Sedentary or not, why work harder than is necessary? Vertical is the way to go.

Next thing I'll be mounting a beer bottle holder on that milk crate and a smaller milk crate for resting my legs on. Wait I'll need some back support and a soft comfy pillow for my neck. Should also probably put in a soft cushion for my tender backside. LOL. Wonder whether I could pick up a cheap Lazy Boy recliner off of CL?? Now that would be the ticket. Then I'd need someone to move the logs into place.

Well, at least I'm not sure when the splitting maul will ever get used again.
