It is a sort of blood blister making machine.

That was my immediate thought, "I don't think I'd want to swing that more than 10 times" lol

Need to wrap some leather around the handle so as not to tear your hand apart.

u/wooden_chair_farts 11d ago

The axe is an example of a simple machine, as it is a type of wedge, or dual inclined plane. This reduces the effort needed by the wood chopper. It splits the wood into two parts by the pressure concentration at the blade

u/Jo_Beex 10d ago

Even google Ai agrees but I still want to say it’s a compound tool - dual inclined planes and a lever. But I’m not sure how to draw the line at a machine

u/wthulhu 10d ago

Actually it is! It's classified as a wedge, which is an example of a simple machine.

u/Big_Monkey_77 10d ago

Well, technically, a wedge is a simple machine.

u/Voxlings 11d ago

Time to review the definition of "Simple Machine," bozo.

I count two wedges and a lever.

Definition of Simple Machine is: "a mechanical device that changes the direction or magnitude of force."

Can you watch the video again if you're also applying your clown make-up?

u/ihateyouguys 11d ago

What’s the second wedge?

u/Ligoneese 11d ago

Only thing simple is getting into your mom’s pants

u/Nruggia 10d ago

The hard part is getting out of his mom's pants

2

u/probablyaythrowaway 10d ago

Technically it is.

But not the type we want to see MOAR POWER!!!!

2

u/J9Dougherty 11d ago

Well, machine means a device that transmits or directs force. This transmits force created by the users arms, and directs it down through the wood. I'd say that is indeed a machine.

u/illzkla 11d ago

That's not the definition of a machine. Just look it up and post what the definition is instead of making one up.

A machine is a device with multiple parts. You can't just skip the important point in the definition

u/Timsmomshardsalami 11d ago

It has a handle and a blade
