What did you rehang today?

[Siskiyou Woodsman]

That is a beautiful handle Siskiyou.

And it looks sharp :thumbup:

Thanks Agent, had fun with this one.

This is a Collins Homestead boy's axe head on a 24" handle.

A Handsome boy's axe.

Tasteful handle, handy length.

Well honed, fine edge there.

A fine looking axe. You might rasp down the shoulders a bit.

Put this Ardex 3.5 pounder on a 36" straight handle. (Too long, perhaps. Maybe 32" would be better?) I thought it would make a good splitter. Might do as a feller as well. As many on this forum say, it's like personal preference.

Just finished this Berghaus. Unfortunately, I had to give it a vinegar bath, so it has that dull finish. I would have preferred a nice patina. It's on a 32" handle that's been sanded and treated with mineral oil and beeswax. Lots of filing went into this one. Staple broke off at the base of the handle. Not a fan of the staples.

http://imgur.com/a/BZ83h bingmaster handle on the flint edge, all i had to do is make a new wedge, i love it. house handle on the sager. black walnut, burned with BLO, or just BLO for a finish? i know my grinds are sloppy, i got metal in my eye and wasn't focusing.

Not a rehang job. More like a hang up job. I'm finally getting around to putting up more OSB on the walls of my work shop. I got my collection out of a bucket and onto a wall where they can be appreciated better.




I moved my draw knives while I was at it.

Underhill hatchet & Plumb blacksmith chisel with an oak firewood handle.

You don't see many old blacksmithing tools with the Plumb logo.

I rehung this Norlund on it's original handle, it still needs some straightening but the hang is tight now (and doesn't have that stupid metal wedge). I'm not the biggest Norlund fan but this one was given to me by my Grandfather so it's sticking around. Yes it cuts well.

 

[jblyttle]

Yes it cuts well.

Damn, no kidding. Just goes to show, just because something is overvalued doesn't mean that it isn't good. Nice axe.

 

[phantomknives]

well, i have a sager, i have a collins, and a kelly, time to start looking for a norlund

 

[Square_peg]

....time to start looking for a norlund

Why? Same axe as a Mann era Collins - i.e. - homeowner axe. Go get a Flint Edge or a Plumb. You'll be happier in the long run.

 

[phantomknives]

i dont have a plumb yet, will do

 

[DarthTaco123]

There's nothing special or mystical about these Norlund axes, they're made post 1966 by the Mann Edge Tool Co., the steel is a bit softer than older axes and it has flat cheeks (which I usually don't care for). The saving grace on this particular axe is it's thin profile and the fact that I reworked the edge very carefully. You'd be far better off with an old True Temper or Plumb by far.
