			A demolition adze is a subtle tool that is used to hack into and smash off pieces of timber.

			It can be swung with force to damage the piece of furniture or timber that you are trying to demolish.

			It can also be used to pry apart two pieces of timber that have been nailed together.

			Separating timbers
			Step 1 – Insert adze head between timbers Insert the narrow end of the adze head into the gap between the two timbers.

			If necessary, you may need to use force to get the adze head in securely. If you do, hit it with a hammer.

			Step 2 – Force timbers apart Once lodged between the two timbers, you can turn the handle of the tool to twist the head or pull on the handle to tilt the head. Either method will force a gap to open between the timbers.

			This will cause the timbers to separate.
