This is the video version of what I learned chopping a cord of wood over 3 months. It was really fun and I learned a lot, much more than I could articulate or fit into this video. I plan to do a long blog post covering the project and my thoughts in more detail. Hopefully soon, though there are crazy amounts of time sensitive seasonal work to do on the homestead...

Cool Axe and Hatchet Technique for Small Diameter Wood
Okay, this is a simple technique for wood up to around 2 inches in diameter. It is very effective and reasonably efficient, especially when you consider maintenance and cost of a chainsaw. Cutting up small wood with a chainsaw can be dicey too, especially if it's crooked. It can fly all over and cause the saw to snag and kick back. This technique is probably faster than using most, if not all, hand held manual saws and it is certainly a lot funner.
