Slight setback today as I worked yet again to cut up the wood left over from the front yard spruce tree.
I got the second wedge to make sure I could split these big logs (they look big, but they're only about a foot thick. Still).
There was only one thing to do: Go to Ace Hardware and get two more wedges, but true wedges this time, not the diamond wedges. Figured they would concentrate the splitting force in fewer directions.
And it worked. I still have half of the log to split, but the wedges are free and I'm refining my technique.
I've spent about $50 on additional wedges, but Zundel wanted $300 to haul the firewood off, so I'm still saving money. And getting some good cardio in to boot.
