I bought my wife a new axe for her birthday, 'cause she broke the handle on her old one.  I might need to get her one of those chain and spring jobs for Christmas.   Thanks for the hint Marcus.   :thumbsup

Take your prized possessions with you because the locks will be changed when you get back.   :eek

I guess at least you'll have the ST13.  Maybe grab the passport and piggy bank.

Thanks Marcus, I'll use that idea. Saves the back bending down to pick up the bits when they fly all over the place after each stroke!  :thumb
Wish our hardwood split as easily as the pine they use in the video though  :-[
