My axe wall

Been working on it for many years:

And the axe floor:

Don't let me know what you think.

I like what I see but I don't see much......

Are you supposed to ???

I like your minimalist take on the subject matter.

I would suggest that storing axes without a protective sheath and edge facing out like in the first photo, next to the hand saws, is a very bad idea. I forgot, you don't want to know what we think.

That is approaching my level of display. Nice old Mac, any idea what year model?

The images weren't showing up before. I saw nothing.

I'm still seeing nothing.

It is about a 1962 Mac 15. It has always run well for me, but I have not used it for about six years.

62 model, unreal. Dad was always a Homelite saw guy but I love vintage saws of all types, thanks for the reply.

My old man of course always had a chainsaw. Back in the 60s he had a big yellow chainsaw that said SEARS on it, he still has it back in the barn, I guess I should get it someday. He pretty much has a chainsaw graveyard, an old Bobcat is back there, and a bunch of old Stihl saws that had various problems where they were thrown in a corner or in a bucket and replaced with a new one. I have another old Mac, two of my father's old Stihls, and an old Stihl 011 an 80+ year old lady gave me. I also have about 150 old hand saws stashed away. When I go tits-up my wife will throw it all in a dumpster.

You have me beat in hammers. Have probably 30-40 hatchets/axes/tomahawks/swords that I restored. Piled up on a wooden shelf to keep off the floor.

Gben, same here. Dad was a small engine mechanic. He put me through school with grease and oil. Plus I often joke that my kids can sell my knives, saws and axes to bury me. We were hoarding before it was cool
