It followed me home (Part 2)

[phantomknives]

Got the wood one on Saturday for 10 and the metal one last night for 5,wood one is labeled montgumery wards and the metal one millers falls.Both had Disston saws with them the longer one has Disston and millers falls on it

looks like we got some more MF langdon miter saws, maybe qe can put up a timeline of how these saws evolved, i have a turn of the centure saw and one i think is from the mid/late 60's, i think yours might be late 40's without a close look

Those are all nice tools plus that looks to be a good sheath.

The 5lb with a 32”+ handle would make a good dedicated splitting axe.

 

[DOGPOUND77]

yes sir --quality leather sheath usa made.....

yes that 5 pound axe would be --but a great wall hanger too....

 

[phantomknives]

I thought those were all CT axes

These followed one of my tool hunters home. Anyone know what pattern the vaughn single bit is? Oh, and all this was free.

Flea market find with original handle and paint still on the head, the price was right, so it followed me home.


This came home with it.

Holy crap! That's nice!

The only single bit I see in the image looks like a Michigan pattern. The Flint Edge double bit is also a winner for sure!

Had a job in the city the other day and every time I go there I stop by a few shops I know of. I found the Rixford 2.25 pound FS boys axe with what I believe is it’s original handle. Being in OK we don’t see many FS axes. This is my first. The pole has some mushrooming but you can see a lot of the stamp still and the year code. And on the opposite side the FS stamps are very clear. I think I am going to leave this one as is and leave the handle in it. The gentleman I bought it from said he brought it back from Colorado.

Here's a few things. The Townley db i bought from fleebey for 39 bucks w/ free shipping. I liked the etching and thought it would be cool to have. But I ended up with a twofer!

And (drum roll please)

It was impossible to see through the rust. Score! An original Garant and a 30" white ash handle. I've really gotten lax about posting new stuff. I've gotten so much recently i just haven't bothered!

I can fix this no problem. It's a real clean break and it'll take glue like a champ!

 

[Hickory n steel]

Glue that up and it'll make a nice wall hanger for sure.

 

[Yankee Josh]

Wall hanger!?!? No way! Lol. Tomorrow after that glue is set up I'll sand it and rehang it. The gorilla glue once set is stronger than the wood anyhow so I'll not be afraid to use it.

 

[Shimo]

I honestly thought you were joking with the clean crack and glue. Good on you for fixing it up!

 

[jblyttle]

I don't know how that will react to strikes, but I wish you luck. Wall hanger is worst case but it might have life again.

 

[Yankee Josh]

I'll, literally, keep you posted! I will do my best to test it/ break it with hard use. Not misuse but hard use. I'll hang that garant back on it and swing the hell out of it! It'll be interesting to see how long it lasts.

 

[phantomknives]

most of the time i glue it it cracks within 10 swings but i use titebond, i dont have any experience with gorilla, this should be some valuable info

The results will be interesting. If I were to try to repair something like this I would go with titebond also. Keep us posted Yankee.

After the glue dries, why not drill a couple holes and tap in some wooden dowels coated in gorilla glue also. Then when that dries, sand then down flush. ? Seems like that would have to increase the chances of it holding.
