Yeah I am sick of it and am just starting the process to get hearing aids

[MacStill]

you're lucky, my hearing loss is irreversible with permanent tinnitus :crying-blue:

[Zak Griffin]

To clarify; I don't actually use a drop saw to cut dominoes.

Last time I used my leatherman and a 9/16" spanner.

[whiskeyshiner]

use a chisel. one hit and they r split. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Thanks mate might have to steal that idea cheers

small axe and big hammer on a piece of timber does it for me Splitting wood is so satisfying, especially oak as it splits true and there is no sawdust to clean up

Gave it a go but my axe needs a clean up cheers :handgestures-thumbupleft:

[Zak Griffin]

Seriously, just get a decently sharp knife and a little hammer, and use it like a chisel...

[MacStill]

I could run em through the garden mulcher and turn em into chips :happy-partydance:

:laughing-rolling:

We aint splitting Railway Sleepers here fellas. Even a blunt knife and a tap on the back with a small bit of wood will do the job.

[Zak Griffin]

All well and good if you want human blood flavoured rum, Mac :teasing-tease:

[Cane Toad]

:snooty: :snooty: Just get Mac to order smaller dominos next time,job done :handgestures-thumbupleft:

[Sam.]

I just bite them in half :whistle:

[SBB]

After using a worn out Bread and Butter knife and a lump of wood for so long , I was beginning feel a bit left out, so tried something different. I think I'll go back to the knife before I lose a finger.

Only slightly :teasing-neener:

Anyway I can't remember how much I paid for my Demi's it was a while ago but they were from the brew shop

Yeah i asked the silly question :laughing-rolling: well to be honest i just hadn't thought about how i was gonna do it

P3T3rPan, when I ordered my demis from that link I ordered a fully wrapped block of about 12 and they did a good job on the freight.
It worked out way cheaper than buying local.

Since then however I've found lovely 5L WIDE MOUTH mason jars in Shiploads that are being sold as 4L and they are a great price!
Get 'em while you can lads! I'll be going back for a couple more boxes as they are just perfect for oaking and infusing :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Cheers,

Mech.
