    you swing the axe with the block stuck and strike the back of the head of the axe on your chopping block. the block of wood dose the work.
    Sorry, but you can't do that with a 400mm diameter block stuck on the end of the axe .... and why bother when a block splitter will do it in one go with less effort.
    Cheers.

    you keep using your block splitter.

    but why dont u just try splittign with a decent axe.

    the stuf you are using for firewood must be nice streight grained wood. there is know way you could plit these ironbark blocks with a block splitter.

    i said a decent axe.

    a good axe and motion will prevent the axe jamming in the block
