#1 Gota get some of that toxic masculinity. #2 Man babies... #3 Captured his pain from every angle and there is even someone in the background instinctively guarding himself. #4 is animal abuse :( #10 tempting Darawin.
#1- That's rock that he's splitting but I'll bet that trick would work just as well in splitting a big straight-grained log in order to make timbers for a short span bridge. Ripping a log with a chainsaw is a time consuming pain in the ass.
That almost looks like those could be railroad spikes he's using.
#1 Thats old tech, you use a split iron sleeve with a slightly tapered pin. Drill hole using either a hand drill, or, easier, a hammer drill. You only have to drill a small amount. Slide the sleeves in with the split along the line you want to break and start tapping them in evenly. The video shows the results. Before explosives they would slide off a whole cliff face the same way.
There are star chisels used for making a hole in rock. To use, slightly rotate the chisel after each hammer blow. The star is faster than a flat chisel but still is a miserable job.
Single Jackin', a guy alone pounding the drill bit himself. Double Jackin', two guys working together, one holding the bit the other pounding the bit with a sledge.
I'm a miner, I'm a mucker, I'm a mean mother f****r.
You are absolutely correct, IF the wood is very straight-grained. Check out Roy Underhill's first book "The Woodwright's Shop." He uses that technique to split boards for a shave horse. Generally, finding wood that straight is a problem, so you either made do with not-straight boards, or you get the felling axe back out, and find a broad axe. You think chainsaw ripping is a time-consuming pain in the ass? Trust me, doing it by hand takes *a lot* longer, and is generally more painful. However, there is a much greater feeling of satisfaction when you do it right, finally. -Just a Chemist
Squaring adze (I think it was called that) looks like a broad axe, with an offset handle for the side of the timber. If your lucky/rich one for left and right offset. Hewing adze for the top.
Its how they made all those nice squared timbers in old barns.
#4 My dog would be getting all excited after the 3rd rip off. He knows how weak I am and couldn't tease like that and make it stick. He would know there was a big fat slice of cooked bacon nearby with his name on it!
#2 looked painful , But , stupid should hurt .

#4 illustrates why some people should be bit.

DeleteYou ain't never watched Roy Underhill split a log into timbers?

DeleteI'll check it out right now. Thanks to you and Just a Chemist.
Another technique is to drill the holes and fill with water and plug in freezing weather.

I still think a chainsaw would be competitive.
