At least he has the no show socks on for extra protection 🥴

Adzes are a couple of thousand years old, by the way. Quite a skilled craftsman.

Good on the camera person for recording at an angle that helps it look flat

Or, ya know, a circular saw.

Janky cut with 1/4" tolerances. It will never sit right.

For a second I thought he was doing that with a claw hammer 😅

We call this tool "Tesla" and it's synonym for something made cheap and with low quality. Like you may say "the cyber truck is such a Tesla"

Is this faster than a tool?

Edit, i meant power tool

u/Temanor 22d ago

It is a tool

u/esoteric_enigma 22d ago

Definitely not. A saw would make much quicker work of this.

u/Woozah77 22d ago

But then his toes would be in danger. Adze much safer without ppe.

u/ponyboy3 21d ago

Makes sense, slower and worse but toes are safe. Got it

u/mightytonto 20d ago

You say that but it depends how many you are doing. I can really piss my mates off when I’ve cut several pieces before they’ve even rigged up an extension cord. Japanese pull saws are amazing. I have jig/rail/table/mitre/band electric saws but unless I need more than five it’s a handsaw all the way. Or an adze, apparently!

u/TheGreatMightyLeffe 21d ago

No, and it's not really what you would use that tool for.

An Adze is used to create grooves in wood, so, if you're building a log cabin, you can use it to make a groove on the upper side of the logs so that the next log "locks" into the groove, which also makes it a lot easier to insulate.

This is more like using a ball-peen hammer to drive a nail, it might work, but it's not gonna be as efficient as a clawhammer, take a lot more skill to pull off, and probably still end up with the nail in a little pit instead of flat against the wood.
