SHOW ME YOUR AXES

[Stump Shot]

Got my little guy fitted with a new handle. Gotta put a few coats of Linseed oil on it. Then it'll be ready for firepit duty.

Nice Brian, any idea what the notch is for? Looks like a pop a top for a PBR.

I really don't know, it's to thick for pulling nails.

I bet it was like a camp axe , that notch may have been for pulling tent pegs ???? [emoji106]

Yes they do. Mine has split alot of wood and silver maple is no effort at all. The cherry gave me a Lil work out, but it wasn't as sharp as it is now

They are composite handles. But my felling ax is multiple colors

...and the top is still on your PBR. Lol

I still have what's left of a few old Simmons red tang files that I used Millwrighting. Would get 'em from the saw filers. Best file I ever had.

 

[Sty57]

Simmons could make some steel, if not the best, it would sure do until something better came along.

From what I have seen Kelly made most of the Keen, Diamond Edge, Howard axes and hatchets for E.C. Simmons.

After loosing an axe in the woods, that paint is a nice idea.

I fixed my issue by buying one of those aluminum axe pouches, & if I'm in the woods, it's either in my hands or in the pouch.

I sure would like to find an old good single bit in the 4.5- 5lb range: I like my Council Tools Jersey, even the handle, but I wish it was a tick heavier.

I just proved that theory correct today. Lost my Husqvarna Forest Axe and can not find it for the life of me. Never painted it cause it was so purdy. Guess I need to heed my own advice...

O my , that will make you sick. Good luck on finding it.

Thanks Rodney, I even took a leaf blower and went through the whole work area. What's worse is it is raining out now.
