A little every day and they get done. I have one its been a couple years off and on with a move in between. They're always there waiting for you to come back. Lol
 
I am not a huge fan of the half hatchet but wow you did a great job with that one. It turned out nice and clean. You have inspired me to start thinking about cleaning up and re-hafting one that I have kicking around.
 
:thumbup: Nice work. That looks fantastic. What color of stain did you use? Looks like Jacobean or something.
 
Billyp. theres no excuse not have done some thing like that! :) Inexpensive, Done little by takes up not to much time, and is alot of fun.
 
Guineaman, nice job and really like the blueing,going to my local flea store and pick some hatchet projects up. I will post em up.
 
That looks great. Makes me want to drive a nail. Its been awhile since I wanted to do that.
