Then I should have skinnied down the hickory handle!

Now the problem is to get the maul 'off' the handle ...


hold the sledge in midair, head down. Heavy hammer and alternating
blows side to side on the sledge head. Ignore all the "don't hammer
on hardened heads". It is 90% BS and 10% wishful thinking.
