FFBM = No More 2x4s

[Tyrkon Lawson]

After having modded my FFBM and put the Edge Pro to work on it I wanted to see how it chops now. So here you go.

2x4s just are not a challenge for this beast anymore. Now it cuts better and, with its girth, still busts the wood in half.

sweet video. i think i should get an edge pro one day.

 

[Chocula]

Huh...so what do you do with all those chopped up pieces of wood? Gigantor bonfires?

Nice. If that edge was anything like the edge on the BATAC, I am not surprised at all :thumbup:

 

[J. Rosa]

Very cool TL. It some good sized chunks out! The edge is convexed right?

 

[dniice87]

Nice vid. I see an edge pro in my near future

 

[Waldganger]

very impressive!!

did I see someone use an edgepro to do a convex?

How adjustable are the angles?

I've been thinking of getting one for a while now.....

 

[Tyrkon Lawson]

The Edge Pro makes "V" edges. I wish it did convexed edges. But I have yet to damage a "v" edge on my INFI. So I am fine with that. I always use the 2x4s for my nightly camp fires. I may live in the hood but I can "pretend".

Man I wish I owned a lumber yard where you live Gerry

Yeah.... the FFBM demands a bigger challenge.

I enjoyed the vid though.

Cheers.

The angles on the Edge Pro are adjustable. I am not sure what the max and min angles are though. I suppose in theory, the stones could be replaced with a similarly sized rectangle w/ mousepad and sandpaper glued to it. Anyone know?

Sounds like another tutorial TL

I cut 4X8's because they are much more work and tend not to break.

Nice video! I used my FFFBM last night to make kindling out of a 2x4 and came in the house with an arm full to show the wife. She was not impressed...

Now I know what to get on my next run to the hardware store. :thumbup:

Impressive Video Tyrkon ! :thumbup:

I need an edge pro and you need something bigger than 2X4 s

 

[Ban]

That looks to easy man! :thumbup:

 

[Tyrkon Lawson]

Thanks guys.

BTW: As you guys know I reattached my handles on this bad boy using the threaded spacers and 1/4" screws. I have done a good amount of chopping and so far everything is holding perfectly. No play at all. And I haven't even added the Blue lok-tite many of you suggested. Just fyi for those of you sonsidering using screws and threaded liners for the handles.

Ive never seen a 4 x 8

Ive seen 2 x 8's and 4 x 4 and 6x6 but a 4 x 8.

what's it used for?

I beams..LOL

And yeah i am sure that would give the Mistress and its user a challenge.

 

[knife hunter]

Oh yeah video is killer.

find a 4 x 8 and whack it to hell:thumbup:
