I was at TSC this afternoon, and noticed a cheap (hecho en Mexico) 6lb sledge. I was pounding a bunch in the past two days with the 3.5 axe, and wound up buying the sledge. I was thinking a 24" stubby 6 pounder would be cool. What length would u guys go with?

my pounding axe is on a custom made 28"

How was the fishing? Are you a fly fisherman? What is your favorite way to prepare your salmon?

No fish today.
Flys no.
Cedar plank or the smoker

I know ya a smoker .......but going after salmon with a cedar plank might explain why ta didn't catch nothing lol

guess it depends on hight and personal preference. if ya over shoot ya target a lot prolly shortin the handle will help. if ya find yerself choked up on the handle a lot it prolly to long. ya haf to experiment to find the length ya like.

I haven't got it yet! We had another discussion about the saw today. I guess he just paid a yearly bundle payment of $75,000 and he is trying to get his heart rate back down! :hmm3grin2orange:

Ya look like a poor mans version of Paul Sr. On OCC. You guys all look quite a bit manlier than me I was asking about a stubby sledge. TS how long is your sledge. At six lbs I won't need a lot of speed. I haven't used an axe to actually chop anything in several years, and figured a stubby sledge may be better for bucking and driving wedges from one knee

All valid.
But you gotta spend it make it. Keep pushing it. You really should roll out with a couple saws.

jon ya have to look more refined lol..........If any of us walked into your hospital we'd scare the patients lol........anyhow trees don't care what we look like ......they juss try to get us from time to time .....prolly payback for killing one of their relatives lol


a pounding ax is handy jon .......it a lot more use when working on trees than a sledge imo........generally tho I kinda use the saw to fall things me being lazy that way lol

I use an 8# n cut the handle to 24". I never on a knee tho, squat normally so I can git away if I need to. the heavy driver works well with the heavy tops n shorter stems I get into. by the way I've tried a lot of wedges, k&h and stihl seem to take a beating well.
