Changed my mind about chopping wood

I grew up chopping wood. My family used firewood exclusively to heat the house, and each summer I worked to run enough wiring to last through the fall, winter, and spring (western Maine). I don't remember my dad keeping sledgehammers ready to split, but they were nothing compared to this 12-pound wonder. Eventually I grew up and moved south. I got off the ground and never got a chance to use the hammer. A few years ago I reached a point in my life where I had the desire and time to go back to some of my roots. Bought a house with a wood stove. He began to play around with setting up a lumberyard. The first sledgehammer I bought was like the one I used as a kid, maybe a 5 pounder. I quickly decided that I needed to buy a gasoline log splitter. Chopping wood broke his back and chattered his teeth. But then I came across this sledgehammer. It gave me back the joy of chopping wood. Often all I have to do is lift this thing up in the air and point it down and it will break on the first try or two. With very large pieces of wood I have to swing the sledgehammer with force. But the strength of this thing is that it works for you. The main thing is not to overdo it with the swing - drop it, guide it and entrust the work to physics. I like chopping with this sledgehammer!
