I must have gotten a good one because the grind is just damn near perfect. The blade had some grease on it (protective coating maybe?) but it wipes off and the two screws adjust the stiffness.
i find that some grease, and two screws typically adjust many things, quite well. afterwards, things are smooth, and relaxed![]()
thanks Cap'n. I need another axe like a need a hole in my head...but I'm buying that one ASAP. I loves that, perfect lines...and Wetterlings is quality stuff.
Great contest BTW, maybe the best idea I have seen, very generous, thanks Cap'n, you're a peach.
thanks! They'll be out in November, I think I might get one too!
oh and thrill - glad to see your finger healed fast, do you have a lot of scar tissue? mine sure does.
We buried Craig today, pretty messed up here. Also came within a fraction of a nano inch (yes, that close) of kicking my bosses ass today. I shit you not. He cowered like a little girl. SO sick of that assh*le.
Sorry about your loss. Whats the story between you and your boss?We buried Craig today, pretty messed up here. Also came within a fraction of a nano inch (yes, that close) of kicking my bosses ass today. I shit you not. He cowered like a little girl. SO sick of that assh*le.
Does wetterlings use a single wood or a wood and metal wedge?Pass on the Wetterlings, The heads kept coming off. I'm a big fan of the gransfor Bruks though.
Long story, but, he's an assh*le, period. Screwing me around, and I let him know about it today. I just asked him about it nicely. He was backed into a verbal corner, he had no where to go. That's the thing about the truth, there's no counter to it. There's no such thing as a good liar. That's an oxymoron. So, the only thing he could do, besides shake and stutter, was to start yelling. When I got in his face and yelled back, he didn't want anything to do with it. End of argument, but not the end of him being a lying assh*le.Whats the story between you and your boss?

typically a user error
drive your wedges in good. use glass epoxy and small carved wood filler if you have gaps.
THEN soak the entire head in a bucket of boiled linseed oil - the BLO job so to speak. take out, let drip dry for a day or two.
the oil sinks in and swell the wood, realllly good, and protects it as well.
if you STILL lose heads, drill and pin.
if you're really nuts, soak the whole handle too. buff with a scotch bright. good grip.
Any nessmuk owners out there? its starting to grow on me
