I can think of a few things right now I'd like to use it on. Never seen it before where do you buy it?

I thought I would offer a few safety tips from my own experiences.
Wear safety glasses while splitting staves. I had a very close call when a piece of the hammer head chipped off and hit me very hard right between the eyes. An inch either way and I would have lost an eye.
When splitting staves don't put your fingers in the split. The wedge can pop out and your fingers will be pinched.
Take someone with you when cutting trees. Accidents can happen quickly when operating a chainsaw and felling large trees.
Remember hearing protection while operating power equipment and splitting staves. You want to be able to hear those deer sneaking up behind you in the fall.

I discovered something today about sandpaper. I normally just fold a sheet in half and then in half again. I noticed that the inside surfaces were not sharp when I went to use them. I googled it and found this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oePuXbMPMzw The surfaces that rub against each other wear themselves smooth before you get a chance to use them. This method of folding solves that. This is probably old news for some but it took me 70 years to sort it out ;D ;D

I agree 100% and have had all those things happen to me. The ear muffs are HUGE. That ringing doesn't go away when you get older.

Might seem insignificant, but until I did it always had trouble removing cap from tru oil bottle. Even though my hands are always a mess. I always wipe off bottle, especially top and threads for cap before putting cap back on bottle. Keep it clean and oil free and child safety cap will still be able to be removed.
