Stone age technology to save abusing your Steel knife - I like it!

I liked the use of the expletive, in that context. "until the b*****d thing goes, snap".

 

[susannewilliams]

Big log. Small knife. No problem.

 

[crosslandkelly]

Very neat solution.

 

[JohnC]

Nice, that seems to work ok...

 

[Harvestman]

Very neat. A good solution if that is all the wood you can get.

If it isn't, then giving up and using an easier piece is probably a lot less effort.

Nice tip!

Or just chuck the whole log on the fire.

Or use the saw that sawed it so neatly to cut a wooden wedge

Still fun to see a stone wedge though

Took all of 40 seconds.

Now THAT would take a lot of effort.

Indeed. Though in some of the more testing conditions, you really need to be splitting your wood.

A wedge is a very powerful tool that often gets overlooked by people. I make them instead of packers for fitting door casings and the like as I can just tap them in a bit more to adjust the casings.

Exactly right. Just get the physics to work for us.

Blimey - how bad is your saw technique?

Whaaat??

Sawing a wedge in comparison to picking up a rock?

Ummmmm

How bad is your picking up a rock technique?

Ah there are girls like this all about, you just have to find them, and sometimes encourage them a little.

Can't really argue against that one.
