yer very little cost billhooks which had sinse i started cleaving irons (froe) made from a busted leaf spring on my truck and the one for paling an old blacksmiths rasp and an old cut down grass swap to make a shave out of. really enjoy making my own fencing materials and putting it up in a fence being able to take it from standing tree to finished product . by the way quickthorn very nice job of that hedge in your avatar what style do you do was you at the hedge laying nationals?

not sure what there paying at the moment as the last couple of lots ive done we have used are selfs made them a little bigger for hedge laying stakes the other day i had all the lengths alllready sawn out hand shaved and made 28 bundles with 25 in each bundle know guys that do it all the time that do far more than that
-
have made thousands of bundles of chestnut pailing over the years its supricing just how quick you can get at cleaving them out .if you try doing it with a splitter you wouldnt be able to correct it when it starts to run off like you can with a froe you would get so much waste and miss splits i couldnt see it being cost effective

cheers for all the advice guys those hiax look like some nice boots . im wondering just how much heavier and hotter a chainsaw boot would be to work in than normal safety boots all that padding must make a difference i know my saw boots i have at the mo are heavy but take a bit longer to get wet feet in than my work boots lol

They do different lengths chains for different size cc machines if you use then on a husky you will need a spacer washer as the hole size is different than a stihl work great on bracken and brambles but as Luke said they don’t work so well on grass

you wouldnt want to do cleft post and rail with that would lose to many they would run out the side normally done with a hammer and wedges or a cleaving iron but looks a great tool for splitting firewood
