The above is a hedge haft I had started for a boys axe a long time ago and messed it up at the time near the head end I trimmed it down and rough profiled it on the band saw and then finished the profile with a finishing farriers rasp.

Finally got to hang this. It came in from @NateSaw last week and I haven’t had a chance to fiddle with it. Thank you Nate! This group of guys is still as awesome as it has ever been!

That’s why I passed on any of the saws. I have plenty of saws and axes but no pickaroon until now. That axe makes a great wedge banger.

Good choice. Mine has a council 4# Dayton head on it. Even though the haft grain is completely wrong oriented it’s still has not budged. Was just surprised it was a council head. That one appears to be such as well.

I believe I will choose 9. Hand forged pickaroon with handle from @NateSaw Thank you guys

Dropped a new maul in the FedEx truck for me today. Whomever replied letting me know they were sending a replacement stated all their axes were made in Sweden though, which I thought slightly comical since it is documented in multiple places that this model is manufactured in Italy….

Just a little update, as of right now they want it taken to a servicing dealer 1-1.3 hours away to be “looked at”.

I have the small Forest axe and use the carpenters axe as a hatchet since I like the longer handle. Both of those are made in Sweden. The maul (newest part number) had a tag stating made in Italy though. Only maker I can think would be or Prandi in Italy.

Any of y’all have one of the newer Husqvarna mauls? 15 min in today and noticed the poll mushrooming. They say it’s supposed to be hardened. Banging on council wedges in live oak. Lower side of the striking face in the photo. Even with the gap at the back bottom of the head, it hasn’t loosened...

To the best of my knowledge they are able to access it currently.

Ring ding, @Johnmn don’t worry about time. It is a finite commodity take yours as needed! The spirit of this raffle is helping a family in need. I can’t see any of this community getting their drawers bunched over someone volunteering their time to help the Linns, if they do get ‘em bunched they...

I have access to a commercial machine at work that we use for cleaning bunker gear. I just spray them down with citrosqueeze brush them with a soft bristle brush and garden hose and let them hang dry while I’m on duty. Citro is approved by many of the manufacturers. It is also what we use...

When you say conniption fit what type of malfunctions is it suffering?

My defender pro’s are still holding up quite well. I do hand wash them though just because I don’t want the crap in my washer that gets on them. I don’t get into the kind of stuff you describe often but they keep my legs from getting cut to crap in thorns and clearing young western juniper as...

I heat shrunk it all the way to the backing plate this morning. Cleaned all mounting hardware chased threads and cleaned mounting point tabs to bare metal. The insulation was in tact all the way which makes me think someone may have replaced it at some point. If anyone has one of these can you...

It is still in tact all the way to the mounting plate. Haven’t dug out the potting to see if it shorted there yet though. Getting 27 ohms from kill lead to ground tab on module. I cleaned all mounting tabs and chased the threads this morning as well as de greased the screws. Went ahead and heat...

Attempted to start my 2100 this morning but no spark. IGN switch not stuck grounded, kill switch wire shows constant continuity to ground though. Pulled FW magnet has good strength. Does anyone know whether the pro line ignitions are worth a darn for these things?

I’m looking for a 2100 flywheel currently have a 501-83-22non front 501-83-23 on back. Haven’t cranked this saw for a long time. Tried today and no fire. The Magnet seems DEAD! Edited to add. So it seems my FW is just fine. Kill switch wire shows continuity to ground.

I can’t ring again till the 10 day deadline set on Tuesday. Hopefully I can get in before the buzzer! What time Friday will the donations come to and end @Johnmn ?

For fear of sounding like a cheer leader!!!! I know times are very tight for lots of us but this thing isn’t far from the goal set on the GFM page. It’s been done plenty of times by the members of this forum it can be done again.
