This guy is awesome. He can chop wood in sandals while jumping. He is the happy Gilmore of wood chopping.

Ugh flippin idiot! Definitely for his sake would hope it was a "weak" swing when he hits his toes.
 
I keep waiting for Red Green to come over and say "Harold! Give me that darn thing before you hurt yourself !"
 
Well if they don't find ya handsome they might better find ya handy!

"Do you have three years worth of wood?"

"Yes. This half cord took me three years to split."
 
Does the home know this guy is missing???:eek:
 
Absolutely unbelievable - this gives us manual splitter folk a bad name. Anyone know what type of wood he is splitting? it looks quite hard to split but it could be the 'bunny' approach gone wrong.
 
I can't imagine generating any more power with that approach. It is definitely a waste of energy though and a great way to make yourself look like a tool.

With that dog panting in the background and captions, I thought it was some artsy German short film that I wouldn't understand, but then I realized by the end that it was just another dorktastik YouTube fail.

Sooner or later that wedge is going to fly out and give him a pedicure.
 
waiting for him to pull out the Trampoline, get a running start, hit the Trampoline, and swing upon landing

again with smacking two hammers together, where is the eye protection for when a chip of steel decides to bed itself in his head.... I think youtube actually triggers people to do stupid stuff.

My Fiskars axe would have made about 20 pieces of wood with those 20 hits.;)

Bingo. That's a fairly dry (bark came off without too much difficulty), straight grained oak round. The Fiskars is perfect for it. Heck, if you give that round a dirty look, it will almost split on its own, lol!

That qualifies as a big round? I wish my rounds were that small. So much easier to move around and split.
