I have this new store bought saw and steel axe, but making boards and blocks is still taking ages.
im just trying to turn 1 tree into boards and blocks, but its not working all that well.

this is the saw i bought among the boards im trying to make with it.

here is the axe i have


so far in 4 hours here is the blocks ive made!



there must be a faster way to do this!!!

What's that, My First Lumberjacking Set? You generally want the blade of the saw to be longer than the diameter of logs you're cutting, and you want a bigger edge on an axe so it doesn't get stuck in the grains when you split blocks.

the large pieces were delivered like that, we have a hydroulic splitter for them
the saw is for the small trunks.
the axe is for the sawn trunks

Still, that's a terrible axe for splitting, the head looks like it weighs under a kilo. You need something with a lot more inertia than that toy. If you had a real axe that pile of wood you chopped up in 4 hours would be at least thrice the size.

well, the axehead has a small edge compared to the head. but its a hammer and an axe.
although i agree on it being somewhat small.
its not meants as a primary tool for the job. just meant for the smaller ****.

I would agree that the axe will be rough outside really small jobs. That hydraulic splitter is a super amazing tool.

Wow so many wood choppings. You can fertilize so many fields with that.

Try this saw:
