Have you ever seen a real crowbar? I didn't realise this, but they're
FREAKING HEAVY! Seriously, there's no way you could just flick one
around with your wrist like that...

Yes there is, it's more technical thing than force one. Same goes with
axes (the ones actually ment to chop wood - not the ones ment to take
with you to urban nightlife). Guess what's my other tool in Project
Floor ;).

Well, I don't know about that, but I do know that me and my dad wasted
several hours trying to get through one quite thin tree trunk with an
axe one time. Brand new axe. Took seconds to go through the bark, but
did little or nothing to the wood beneith.
And then my dad lent against the tree in exhaustion, and it snapped off

Check the difference between these:

http://www.fiskars.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10001&langId=-1&catalogId=10101&categoryId=10277&productId=10534
The first one is the one I have, there a significant difference ;).
28inch is 72cm - which is pretty much for an axe. Still it's stable and
fast to handle, when you know it.

Making a tree come down with an axe ain't easy. You'll need to cut with
the right angle to get optimal get-trough time and still the mess will
be awful. I'd advice a saw for even a little bit bigger trees and one of
these to the smallest ones:

Even then it's technical thing to get the tree down, actually :p.
Usually it's one hit with that brush axe to one little tree.

Heh, that's life :).

This kind of maul works great for splitting wood,
but you probably couldn't hit a headcrab with it =P

Couldn't you have used a saw? We had this saw once which was really good
for cutting down small trees (anything between 5 and 30 cm diameter) - the
teeth were pretty beefy and much bigger than a normal saw you would use for
woodwork, made light work of chopping up lots of wood.

In hindsight, that would seem to be significantly less work, yes...

I almost hesitate to ask, but you were using a *felling* axe, yes? Not a
hand axe? ;-)

I have no idea. All I know is dad wanted to remove the tree, so we want
out and came home with a small axe...
