I have arrived on the blade scene...

[Gorog]

Because I am the PROUD owner of an almost brand new Kobalt 1 1/4 pound hatchet I bought at Lowes a few days ago! Yay!
EDIT: Ignore the Recommendation? thing going on at the top of the thread.

good for you -- just remember always be safe

 

[Gorog]

Thanks Eric! I will be as safe as possible, for I am too excited to let something as serious and game changing as an injury take me out of woodworking. I am hewing the branch I cut to proper length, or at least, I was, until I retired for dearest Irene and her path of devestation. Now it is too humid and wet to risk taking out my hatchet unless I find some steel wool and scour it good and proper afterwards, which could be a possibility.... Peace, Eric, I'll call you soon, if you like.

Tools that are used get wet.

Irene may end up leaving plenty of hatchet work behind her.

 

[BFH44]

Call anytime David

 

[Gorog]

Thanks for the advice Howard, and I got you Eric, today is the day I'll call you. I'll liven this wimpy thread of mine up with some pictures soon. Peace.
