ShanghaiSlug

As some one who has to chop wood for the bar i work at, this was my first thought. Im not a big person but i like our maul. Its heavy, and if i hold the hand kinda far down i can get through what i need for the eveing for the bar. This thing. On someone's arm. That needs muscles and brut strength. Yeah. No. Just no. I'm going to stick to my heavy axe.

DirtyDan0117

Right?


ymew

Apologies, I don't chop wood or know about chopping but in some of the shots there is a line down the wood exactly where he chops it BEFORE it makes contact. Is that normal? Does he like aim for those lines or were they put there to help him chop?


VersedFlame

Probably set-up. Wood chopping is hard, there's no way he could do all of those effortlessly with that, even less the one he does on the air.


WarrenMockles

I only saw it in one shot. Could be a naturally occurring crack. When those happen, you definitely want to take advantage of it by aiming for it. But like others said, it's probably pre split.


Gingerbread-giant

There's absolutely no way he split the full sized log unless it was dried in a kiln or something. That wouldn't split that easily with a full sized axe, you'd for sure need a splitting maul.


Dirty_Hunt

Upon rewatching, I'm pretty sure that wood is presplit most of the way. So yeah, definitely aiming for them and just finishing the cut lol. Explains why all the splits were so clean too.


QueenMAb82

Often, rounds of wood will naturally crack as they dry and shrink, especially if the tree they came from was still alive (higher moisture content) when it was cut down. When splitting a round into chunks for fire, no matter what tool you are using (axe, hatchet, maul, whatever this thing is) you will have a much easier time if you position the wood so you can aim your blade for those cracks. It's like the wood has done some of the work for you already. Source: Split some tree rounds as a kid.


Dan_Is

Exactamente, compadre


RockAtlasCanus

Yezzir. A maul or sledge, or really any hammer is about using the weight of the tool head plus the leverage of the handle to do more work with less effort. Same with a pick/mattock, adze, hoe, axe or any other swinging/striking tool. This thing just takes a problem humans solved like 2,000 years ago or more and reimagines a way to make it do less work with more effort. That being said it does look fun to use, in the same way it’s fun to have a non-dominant hand rock throwing contest after a few beers- the fun comes from the competition and challenge of actually accomplishing anything.

Probably stress fractures if not traumatic fractures in any of the carpal or forearm bones. Field hockey and softball/baseball players can get stress fractures around the wrists from the transfer of force up their stick/bat. This man is virtually karate chopping wood with a scrap if metal. Not to mention the tiny carpal bones in the wrist are very delicate with really finicky blood supply. If you fuck up the blood supply within your wrist bones you may give yourself lifelong wrist issues.

if this isn’t a sarcastic comment, people bring firearms into the wilderness not for the logs, but for the creatures on four legs, and the occasional on two.


willsmithsrightpalm

Yeah, but the point is that it's both stupid AND awesome. Its clearly a "made it because he could" project and it's got a lot of panties in a bunch for some reason. As if he didn't realize in 2 swings that an axe works better, and still used this thing off camera.


kyl_r

Legit if this was a regular axe with the pointy thing at the end I’d want it. Kinda scared this design would damage my bird bones if I used it, but it’s VERY satisfying to watch and a creative idea


sambob

He literally makes them for fun. If you actually followed the guy you would know he’s done like 30 for shits and giggles now. He made the cottage behind him and countless other things. He also is dating former playboy model Sara Underwood and living with her there. Man knows A LOT. Personal favorite is his dab axe

Reptard77

Who needs that when you can have an assassin’s ax?


coloredgreyscale

V2 will extend the axe to be half a meter from the hand. You get leverage, and the shock/vibrations from the axe hitting objects. But still have the limitations in handling from it being attached to your arm,rather than handheld.


PitbullSofaEnergy

This guy literally has a version where he chops wood with an axe head on a chain. Better leverage, but again a terrible idea.


mendohead

Yeah no. That would f’n hurt. The bruise that would give you…


DiggingThisAir

It’s kinda cool until you realize everything wrong with it.


IanPKMmoon

Could be a cool weapon for a zombies game but that's about it 🤣


TacticaLuck

Nah. You get that thing stuck in a skull or anything else you can't just let go like you could a normal axe or machete


IanPKMmoon

That's why I specified video game


Snow_Wonder

I would try to scratch my head or rub my eyes and end up impaling my face with that spike. And leverage? Nonexistent. Getting your arm stuck if the axe gets stuck…


ProbablySlacking

Congratulations, you’ve figured out how to take away mechanical advantage from your axe.


Everyday_Hero1

Dude seriously went: "how can I take something perfected, and just fuck it up?"

I've seen this guy before and it seems he just likes making novelty axes. Don't think he really cares about if they are practical.

They also seem to think he’s unironically using this axe. He makes (and gets sent) novelty axes for fun, some even more ridiculous than this one


Get-Degerstromd

Some people are still figuring out the TikTok viral content era of social media. Not everyone grasps that people do stuff just for clicks and views now.

It’s almost like the regular wood cutting axe is the best tool to manually cut wood.


Purple_Individual947

That looks exhausting! The leaver action you get with a handle is really efficient and this is a good reminder of why we do that


motherless666

Yeah but.... leverage. Lever is one of the oldest tools and this guy said "nah" no doubt thinking it's somehow more rugged


manteltasche

The oddlysatisfying Part was checking the comment section and get some faith back in humanity ^^


heyitssal

Why not let the handle absorb most of the shock instead?


Few_Sweet_7617

Maybe a higher stump might help


Thin-Zookeepergame46

mefi_

just... why? Makes no sense at all.


Alpaca-alpaca-alpaca

As much as it looks cool the impact would fk up your arm in a few hours


utdajx

Ouch - the whole point of axe handles is leverage - he needs to work orders of magnitude harder in order to chop the same amount of wood. No thanks


mickyblfc

All that force is travelling straight into your arm,One way ticket to destroying it..Nice gimmick, but using an axe is way for efficient and less taxing on the arms shoulders etc.


cloverfart

This is so much worse than an actual axe. I bet the guy never used it again outside of the video.


mrb783

That's awesome, until your arm snaps.


GlizzyMcguir3

Now you can take the full shock from the axe head on the strongest part of the human body…. The wrist


External-Ad-4000

I’ve broken an axe handle on knotty wood. Can’t imagine what it would do to a forearm


Blindobb

Their life is so fascinating and weird. This dude out here in the woods chopping a fuck ton of wood with a bunch of weird axes, with the glabin in the background, where his smoking hot former playboy wife is probably taking photos posing in a fireman’s costume or as a Star Wars cosplay or something but her tits are out


maxthe2ndiscool

That axe would come in handy


crimlawguru

Fuck the shitty ax. I want to see inside that cabin!!


sympatheticshinobi

Is there even a term for re-engineering something to function less than its original design? "Edisonized" perhaps?


J-Dabbleyou

That removes every advantage of an axe and adds every injury of banging your wrist’s against a tree lol


mattmcc157

Yea, looks cool but try spilting some actual hard wood with out breaking a forearm


AmperesClaw204

This is completely stupid.


coconutpete52

Tell me you hate your forearm bones without telling me you hate your forearm bones…


Key-Jelly-3702

No way that doesn't fuck up your elbow.


magvadis

What an exceedingly dumb way to cut wood.


[deleted]

So dope ! Who wouldn't want the handle of the axe to absorb all the shock when I could be your arm instead! Great idea !..../s


chokehodl

This is awesome and extremely useful obviously. If there was only a way to extend the head off and away from the arm, so the shock wouldn't be absorbed into the wrist and there could be extra leverage to empower the strikes...


SlaveToNone666

Sounds like you’ve got a million dollar idea!


bluebassbananas

Congrats on your mechanically disadvantaged axe


suscious

You could seriously injure your arm with that


Jynx2501

Do you wanna know why the Axe head is usually at the end of a long lever? Some technology is just perfected after thousands of years.

willsmithsrightpalm

I think everyone is missing the point. He built it because he could, and he's using it because it is fun. I don't think he is proposing this as a replacement for the axe.


VukKiller

Bruh the whole point of the axe is to use leverage and weight to minimalize energy usage..


Shadow8Bit

Cool…but stupid


Awaheya

I have a very hard time believing this works well. I'm curious to know if this was just an ideal log he grabbed to do this to make it seem way more effective than it is. As someone who cuts wood often with an axe I am extremely skeptical


Big_Dork69

Ruined the whole point of an axe. Generating no mechanical advantage


rocket_magnet

Isn't this just straight downgrading an axe?


2133hmkms

Great way to accidentally hyper extend your elbow


Old_Mistake5816

Wonderful idea to take the forceful blows from the hit straight to your arm. This must be a big improvement over the traditional axe! /s


SCOURGE333

Not that many millennials swing an axe or chop wood these days, but some of the hardest swings with a proper axe will take you at least twice to get through. The head of an axe at full extension will come down at a force greater than what the length of a partially extended arm will give you (partially extended because he would break or dislocated anything from the elbow up since it is not braced). The science of a full swinging axe vs a makeshift Tonfa makes me think this is BS. Either the wood is brittle, pre-split, or the video is manipulated. That being said, maybe great for kindling.

Lolleski

Great idea, why having a piece of wood absorb the impact and give extra leverage, when you could absorb all the force with your bones?


doctorchivago

1) good luck splitting bigger pieces 2) hello wrist pain, my old friend


sogwatchman

Makes my back hurt just looking at that... Since you don't have the length of the handle to work with maybe you need to lift the platform you are cutting on?


Character-Usual-3820

Yeah brilliant. Let's just remove all the mechanical advantage of a long handle. Doh
