My first try at a handle. Made out of a larger scrap handle. It’s not perfect but I’m really pleased with it.

Great hang Nbrackett! Nice and tight all the way round! That'll last you a good long while. Nothing better than giving a tool new life. It's almost altruistic in a way. Something useful and something to be proud of.

Thanks! I’m really enjoying giving these tools new life. I’ve also enjoyed gifting a few of them to others that will hopefully use them for years to come.

What a beautiful tool! You did a great job. I hope that, when I get around to rehanging my True Temper Jersey, it turns out at least half that nice!

It looks fantastic and should be an excellent user. You may not have needed the metal wedges. Most of us get by without them and the splits they make.

Well, it was my first time hanging an axe and everything took about 3 1/2 hours. But I’m pretty pleased.

Thank you! Yeah, I really debated on the metal wedges. It mushroomed out well with just the wooden wedge, but I couldn’t stop myself. It was my first time hanging an axe and I thought ohh what the heck it’s my axe and I’m going to make her look perty lol

Looks like an excellent job! I like the dark wedge. Is it a stain or a dark wood?

I've had this little Wards Master Quality collared hatchet head laying around for years. I tested the steel several times, and it's HARD. When I sharpened it today most all of my files would do more skating than cutting.

Great workmanship paring that wood into shape!

WoW Awesome! As has been said great shape to that haft. Elegant AND bad ass! Can't beat it!

That looks amazing, perfectly shaped so that it could pass for the original handle. Awesome job. That's one you can never let go.

The Kelly in the first pic is great too.

This is a Collins Legitimus on a great NOS handle. 3lb head, 29.5" handle. Treated with BLO/Turp, then pine tar.
