Now before you go crazy with that ax, you need to properly prepare yourself with a tree chopping license and a knowledge of how to use an ax. Also keep in mind that the respect of this powerful and dangerous tool can lead to a safe and pleasurable experience.
- To use an ax, Place both hands on the wood, move your right hand up towards the butt. Then, lift the ax up and swing at your target while letting your right hand gradually slide down the handle.
- Shovels come in handy for many things like digging snow, dirt, and for service projects. When using a shovel always know what is behind you as you could easily whack your friend in the face with a pile of dirt.
- To use a shovel, place both feet on the sides of the shovel, then, use the power of your waist and wriggle the shovel into the ground. Finally, be sure to cut off any grass roots keeping you from lifting the dirt from the ground.
