Default Stump reduction

There has been talk here in the past of how to remove tree stumps, well I
have just done one.
Having replaced the mower with slightly wider model an old stump was in the
way so I decided to attack it with an old wood chisel and hammer. Despite
the stump being very hard wood half an hour with the chisel did enough
damage to get the mower through. I will attack the rest some other time and
reduce the whole thing to below ground level. I found that working in from
the sides was the best approach.

This and the next two pictures show what I achieved in about half an hour.
