The secret being ordinary axes have not been modified, having worked perfectly well as they are for thousands of years. This new 'design' adds stress to the top of the blade edge and increases the likelihood of shearing (and accident) as a result. For what it's worth, I have these type of ideas myself...when I'm drunk. Sober, I know they make no sense, so I don't follow through with them.

Neat video but this would never work with real logs, it would just get stuck and probably break. It takes a massive amount of force to split logs, sometimes is barely possible, adding another edge would make the difficult logs impossible. This would only work on much smaller pieces. The 2 axe heads should also be welded together. The single ahead with the piece cut out would eventually break

Hardening on both axes totally ruined, and the secondary axe is held in place by a single screw without proper registration at the back for force dissipation. Also, the secondary axe will not bear any torsion as it has almost zero arm to the main body to keep it straight. Don't chop anything tougher than soft wood, and don't try this more than a dozen times or so.

Just my two cents here, but the harder material always wins in a collision, all other factors being equal. The hardening loss won't matter much for most wood, even hardwoods. Case hardening is also a fairly easy DIY project for something this size.

I was an engineer and manufacturing director for a hand tool manufacturer for many years. This video is a disturbing, yet excellent example of why only professionals with the proper educational background, training and experience should design/manufacture hand tools. People don't realize how many specifications and standards are written for hand tools. Quality manufacturers who stand by their products incorporate these requirements into the design and manufacture of their tools in order to ensure product safety. While tools are designed and thoroughly tested for "unintended use", you can't stop people from doing stupid sh#t like this and putting themselves and people around them at risk of serious injury. Advice to all - never modify your hand tools or use them in a manner for which they were not originally designed. Also, always wear proper eye protection when working with or around hand tools of any kind. And, buy quality tools that you know are made by a reputable manufacturer - you get what you pay for!

I am a professional locksmith and welder for more than 25 years. If someone asking for a job like this I would say: "Ask someone else." If a non professional asks me which tool to buy for normal household an gardenwork, I would answer: A known, long etablisht brand. Not the most expensive, not the cheapest. I should have a good feeling in your hand. Do not buy too specific tools, buy those who can do many things." This cross-axe can do only one thing. It will rust in a corner for most of the time and you have to search it if you need it. You won´t be used to its shape and weight because you rarely use it. Maybe for those dry wood pieces a normal axe needs twice the cuts, but you will be more used to the ordinary axe and find it quicker. Beeing used to a tool adds to its safety. And I won´t trust that screw very long as well. It may come of and if you are lucky it may hit neighbours dog you never liked... but if you are unlucky...

The axe depicted here is designed for splitting. Been used since forever. The double edge axe is used for cutting down and removing limbs. ( pretty much has been replaced with the chainsaw). The splitting maul is a whole different animal. Most people don’t have the nuts to swing a splitting maul for more than a couple of minutes. That’s why we have log splitters.

@@williamsrmonroe8406 The hidden secret to splitting wood with a maul is good control. It's not as much about strength as it seems. But the best thing to control is when to split. I use to wait for a stretch of below freezing weather. Keep the maul by heater/woodstove. Split for 15 minutes, put the maul back in heat while stacking, get a warm drink, then go another 15 mins. The frozen wood explodes as the maul lands. But don't forget to warm the maul. If it freezes the handle will also explode.

I have questions. 1. Why cut up the heads? You know you’re removing metal and that will make it weak. 2. Why didn’t you cut a curf and wedge it then put the barrel wedges in? That would help secure it better. Also scrape the finish off and use boiled linseed oil to coat it top to bottom. For hardcore wood splitting that axe is a safety hazard and a joke. I mean you even you even removed metal through the head to add a bolt. In a matter of time and using it in hard woods or nasty knots, you’ll risk splitting the head there or worse it could break off and brain someone. Think about it. In my opinion you wasted 2 axes, a lot of time making the video. I mean how much wood could you have split if you would have used your time and resources better.

It is an interesting approach to what has been done for several centuries. Splitting small soft wood blocks is ok for kindling, but would likely fail on a 6-8” x 12-18” white elm, or even red oak. I can see this method of splitting wood, as a good way to knock some of the bark(skin) off your shins. After surviving to 76, while farming, and as a toolmaker, around big machinery and animals, I learned to look at dangers before I do things. This does show ingenuity and “stiktoitivness). Keep it up.

several hours of shop work and two destroyed tools just to create a weak POS that is designed to fail, dangerously. The first time that tool is used on an ordinary piece of wood, it will either stick or break. Axes were probably the very first tool ever used by man, so we've had about two million years to perfect the design. Many good inventors and toolmakers have gone broke trying to sell an improved axe design and no one has come up with anything that works more than marginally better than the designs settled on two hundred years ago with the advent of improved tool steel.
