It followed me home

that's a nice one halfaxe. The ones I go in for. Lots of character.

Got these old crosscuts from a guy for cheap yesterday.
42" and 72"
The 6-footer is pitted to all hell and not useable. The smaller one is in great shape and very useable (after I get a handle for it)

 

[A Visitor]

Buddy dropped off some things he thought I could use. Cross wedges are cool, think a picture of them attached to cardboard label was posted before. The Sears wedges are in boxes that have 15 and 19 cents printed on them.
If anyone is collecting axe stuff and would like to trade the boxed wedges for modern ones- let me know.

Great looking saw. Just needs some nuts and bolts. I've never seen those wedges before.

 

[A Visitor]

I have the bolts, took the handle off to soak in vinegar , The wedges were being sold recently at Blacksmith Depot as "French Wedges". The ones I got are marked England and I suspect they are the same that Garry3 posted in a wedge thread. They still have the wire around them- paper is probably long gone.

Hey Cody, I watched the pulaski vid earlier today and was wondering to myself why I never see you on any of the axe sites. Guess you found your way...lol

Four quality pieces, a good haul. You gotta wonder what someone was thinking with that froe.

That's a Wooding's Verona.

Just what I needed, another leg vice. The one in the middle is my latest. The one on the right has been shortened and welded on ect, still works fine and is mounted to the table. I really need to part with one of these.

 

[Chris Montgomery]

Very nice Gary. I need to get a leg vice. When I find one I am broke, when I have money I can't find one. So it goes.

[garry3]

Are you in Idaho?

 

[Chris Montgomery]

No sir, I am in Arkansas. I will get one soon. There is one on CL that I am trying for.

My leg vise is one of the best tool purchases I've ever made, right up there with the drill press. The vise gets used the most.

 

[Square_peg]

I made a bracket to mount the leg of my vise down the the patio. This was forged out of a railroad spike.

 

[screened porch]

You got some distance out of that spike.

 

[Chris Montgomery]

Nice job on the bracket Pegs. I like RR spikes for these kind of projects. They are good clean steel.

I looked for one that I could afford forever it seemed. Now I have one too many. Wish I could pick up another anvil or two.
