Yer on. Me and my 28 rigging axe, (un-modified) vs. you and your 32. Five nails, green fir lumber with a min of 3.5 depth. (not into the end grain, that's cheating) Best time wins.
Ok ...I'll put some wax and diesel fuel on my nails first...LOL memories...

I'm sure he misunderstood your intent*. Why were you posting the video, Jersey?
Oh thanks for asking. I posted the video because it shows someone using a miter saw to make the same types of cuts that I need to do on a somewhat similar piece of wood.
In that case, landscape timbers, instead of fence posts.
*And I think Markk was referencing an old carpenter joke.
Markkkk is screaming for first position on my crap list at the moment.

That's true. Folks aren't usually cutting up fence posts to begin with. Landscape timbers, maybe. I think we used a saber saw on those previously but I need perfectly level cuts for the posts.
I appreciate all the replies here. I think the chop/miter saw is what I need. I'll have to make sure it fits the fence posts--I'll take a piece with me.
Thanks all! :-)
