Puslinch Township - history - Wood chopping by David Stirton Stirton suggested that when the farmers are about to cut wood, they should secure a man accustomed to throwing timber to direct the work, and thus possibly reduce the unnecessary accidents to those occasioned by the sharpening of a saw. Rose began to chop a tree quite near the house, one of the daughters came out to inquire the propriety of remaining in quarters which might be dangerous. Stirton mentioned chopping bees as another feature of pioneer life, but these were not of very frequent occurrence as a bee to chop was one of the most unfortunate and foolish projects. www.clarksoftomfad.ca /WoodChopping.htm   (3252 words)

Competitive Chopping It is pointless and dangerous to attempt to "chop a log" much less enter into competition, until you are reasonably competent in a basic skill of using an axe. If the wood texture is the same throughout the log and the circumference varies chop through the smallest part. Opening blows may be one or two on each side of the log depending on the block size and shape, wood type and to a degree the style of the chopping used. www.usaxemen.com /usaa/guides/chop/main.shtml   (2456 words)

woodheat home Or, wood can be harvested sustainably, burned cleanly and efficiently, and its energy used to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions that cause global warming.

Board Chopping One of the main reasons wood is a more popular choice for board chopping products is that wood is kinder to the sharp edge of the knife that you are cutting with. To make sure you keep your wooden board chopping products in their best possible condition, they will need to be cleaned regularly and make sure you use a steel scraper to scrape the wooden board chopping product and keep it oiled if possible. The plastic board chopping products may be dishwasher safe but you have to bear in mind that eventually the pure heat of the water and the steam in the dishwasher may cause the plastic board chopping products to warp through continious use in the dishwasher. www.boardchopping.com   (502 words)

Chopping Axe Axemen History Australia Youd Chopping as a sport originated at near-by Sprent in 1870 when two coast pioneers, James Biggs and a man remembered only as Smith, staged a contest through 3-ft standing blocks for a wager of £25 which Smith won. He stands close to the wood closer than any other man chopping today -and some say that this accounts for his phenomenal success. When he first began to chop he used to hear the crowd "a little," but now, like other top choppers, he "goes it alone," as the saying is. Ray says he never trains, but as his job is tree-felling at Victoria Valley, in Tasmania, he is really training all the time. www.geocities.com /axemenau/choppingpg.htm   (2732 words)

Goodbye TV, hello constructive time by Dave Duffy Issue #67 Splitting wood and chopping kindling have become healthful mental exercises involving four axes—a double-edged one, a fireman’s axe, and two lighter ones with long and short handles.
