In Response To: Re: Off Topic: My log splitting method video (Bill Hamm)

Thanks for the response about blacksmithing. So Etienne's magic wedge axe could have been invented 500 years ago.
I wonder why it wasn't? (the theory on why the axe was so rapidly improved in the Americas was because trees were suddenly unlimited and free. I'd be willing to bet that all Japanese design is based (on Chinese origins--everybody knows) but also on their straight grained easy to split cedar trees.

I find it hard to believe that all the thousands of years of splitting wood, plowing fields, etc... these things weren't invented everywhere right at the beginning. Philo T Farnsworth, walking behind a plow invented the television of horizontal scan lines.
