Some workin' tools

[idroptapul]

A few users to take on trail....

The saws are a Craftsman (by Disston) taper ground D-handle and a Simonds Royal Chinook, segment-taper ground.

The axes are a Snow & Nealley Hudson Bay and pulaski, a Kelly Michigan pattern, and a Plum Dayton pattern with a 4# head.

The William Henry and Opportunist don't get much carry time.

Every one of them from a fine maker I learned about on this forum.

Training new crew leaders.

Getting some use out of the Disston.

The rest of the tools aren't quite as purty.

Very, very cool collection of tools. To say I'm envious would be a major understatement.

i have a nice old crosscut,just found it the other day. Disston
Tuttle tooth one man never been used, with a real good top handle.
the metal had a little bit surface rust but cleaned up nicely

also bought a fabulous Champion two man with a fine readable etch for a dollar at an estate auction. nobody wanted the old saws that day.LOL

can't find anybody who'll pull with me.

i am going to make a tooth set out of a pair of pliers with a hook welded onto one of the jaws to gauge the set.

is that a Jersey pattern axe on the right
wish i could work some timber with you.

By George, you are correct. That is not a Dayton, but a Jersey. I just checked the NFS manual.
If I ever pass through Missouri, I'll drop you a message and bring my boots. We'll cut on some of that hardwood stuff I've heard so much about.
