Curtis Buchanan - 2. Splitting the Oak Log

Episode 2: "Splitting the Oak Log" of the series "Make a Comb Back Windsor Chair with Curtis Buchanan"

[mikeabbott]

Hi Curtis. That's a fine piece of oak. I just dropped on this film by chance and look forward to watching some of your others one lazy evening. I've just seen they go up to 55. Might take a while. Maybe that's why I have stopped making Windsors!

"They don't make them like they used to" .your so strong it's insane. And not even breathing hard

[ghasss]

[EastyUK]

I need to try this with some 40" logs I have so I can get them on my mill.

[hamsack]

Where do you live? I love all the birds chirpin and it's so green there.

[MrPuRpLeHaZ]

what is wrong with my life..i went from rap to watching a man split wood over a course of and hour

[CurtisBuchananChairmaker]

the goal is to keep it green but not let it rot. So, if it is winter I leave it outside and cover it from the sun and split out parts as I need them, If its summer, I do the same and turn it into fire wood as it starts to spalt or if its exceptional, I rive out parts and keep them in the freezer.

Where do I get a set of those custom organic wedges?

[kennethaskildsen]

Nice work Curtis. I'm up to part 3 but can't find part 4. I've built some nice tables but no windsors. It looks like a bit of a bear! 

[LamarSineath]

How old was the logs he picked. I'm guessing he doesn't do this green?

[rodney]

look path shop you tell were he been walking.

[mikearmstrong]

I have offered people the opportunity to split my firewood for free instead of joining a gym. Endurance. Cardiovascular. Upper body strength. No takers.

[revhbateman]

Pretty sure You don't need a gym membership

[alessiomagistrato]

famme capi, che avresti scoperto ? Una nuova formula magica per spaccare la legna -senza-le-bestemmie?

[neilpaulbrady]

[bpmiller]

I cringed when you stuck the nose of the chainsaw into that log.
