Oops, there goes another round...

[ewdudley]

And all these years I never knew what 'piece of cake' referred to. Perhaps it's the wedge of steel at the end of an old-school splitting maul

Skip to the end of the clip (5:15) where the guy keeps swinging from downtown to split a full size round down the middle. "Hard work', he says.

I need to give the boy a wood splitting lesson. In exchange for him jackassing some oak rounds around here for me.

Holy Work your ass of on a piece of Oak, jeese I could have had that itsi bitsi peace of oak broke down with an old single blade ax faster. Never did like those mauls much anyhow.

I think his maul is too heavy. Way too much work to swing that thing and not much accomplished, especially if that is Oak.

Grossly overloaded K10 (Half-ton), Man-Handling stupid heavy rounds (just for our viewing pleasure!), swings that maul like he's gonna win a prize, while standing on ice. Brilliant!

At least he ain't afraid of work!
