but I've been cuttin' firewood fer sixty years...more or less...with
all manor of hand tools...and can tell ya I'll use my trusty Ol' Husky
chain saw over all the hand tools put together...:-)...and I'll split
it with my trusty Ol' Craftsman twenty seven ton  hydralic
splitter...:-). Nuthin' against those that want to take the hand tool
route...just been there and done that so I have an idea of whats it's
like...:-) Would rather spend my time doin' somethin' I like better
then workin' up firewood...Franklin

I agree with you to an extent. I'll continue with my chain saw. I like
splitting by hand, but give my back another 10 years and I may sing
another tune. I like to be prepared with the hand tools in case we get
in a situation that petroleum based fuels are not available. I think I
might see that day.
