For those of you who are interested here are a couple of other ways to practice your axe skills.

By the way if anyone wants to post up your finished products from either vid, that would be cool to see.
 
Good vids,thanks for posting IA.
What is the largest (diameter/length) tree trunk you can process with your axe?
In other words, what are the limitations of your 26" Wetterlings (1.9lb head) in your experience

I am glad you had the dog take a pee during this video - it has been missing from your other videos. ;)

That would depend on skill as much as the axe. I think this axe is well suited to take out a max of 8" seasoned dead hard wood. Maybe a 10" green tree. It could take out bigger trees, but a felling axe is more suited for that.
 
Again a good video

For limbing small stuff like that
I just slide my axe on the branch and by changing the angle of the axe I can control where I make the cut
It is almost slicing than chopping, this way the branch does not bounce
