I saw a guy wind up with the ax in his leg, while holding the log with his foot. I know I sound like an old fart, but that is a very unsafe chopping position. -- Peter

I didn't know till afterwards that was how he was chopping it. When he bought the axe, I told him to find a big chunk to use as a chopping block, but he opted for the easy way out... When they get to that age, there's only so much a Dad can do... On the flip side, he was pretty good at it, chopping up a nice supply of wood for the fire, without injury. He's pretty big, but he's quick, too... Take Care, Dudley

One of the characters, perhaps Anthony himself, chopped his leg off by getting careless with an axe. That is the only scene in the whole movie that I remember. Allen

When my younger daughter was 21 she absolutely shocked me, by asking for advice. She finally realized I just might know something. I used to be amazed at how much my father learned as I grew older. -- Peter |
