Wake that is great stuff there. I would get a kick seeing a closer shot of the double bit just for fun.
JB Wow. Tool Sherpa status.
I actually have been trying to avoid active tool hunting but when left my own devices have trouble not stopping but yesterday on my way back from town I stopped at two multi-family sales. My neighbors were one of them.
Mortar shell box, Littletown 3 vise, B&C under mount vise, a dollar Weco 8# maul, two crosscut saw handles. I think I left the other handle in the truck.
Dropped my brother at the airport this morning and stopped again to find this as well - solid hang on this one. Dangerous to swing but easy to remove maybe at the same time even.
Ive always passed on the M only marked axes but the bigger ones here make me think they are hardened. This one needs a handle so I might do a quick vinegar dunk to check for a line. They arent pretty but they seem like good users even if not.
The 12 blue and 8 fire hose came from a fireman who wanted a fire axe/hatchet I met today. The hose was decommissioned and he removed the couplings and assured me that it was authorized seems responsible. Neat guy actually. He said his wife is excited to make a leather sheath for him I wish.
I remember reading here a couple of times that old hose it makes good go-to sheaths.
Hey Guys,
I found a few new projects yesterday!
1 Collins Homesteader
1 W. Germany Rahn double bit, with old tobacco tin made into a shield near the head
2 boys axes - 1 from Sweden and 1 unknown but has a mark ( need to research)
1 True Temper Welland Vale pick axe
