What did you rehang today?

Charlie K, that handle is nice! I also vote well done. Did you do the lanyard tube? Or is that just how the pic makes it look? That hammer is ready to go back to work.

Thanks.

Yeah I put a lanyard tube in the handle. Not a tough process to do, but it's a lot of fun, and adds a bit of character.
 
Looks good but it's too bad the shoulder of that haft doesn't extent down to where the strap is so the strap can get a better grip on the haft.
 
I hate to admit it, but I'm still so new at this I had to google "Anatomy of an axe" to understand what your trying to tell me Square_peg. Still learning all the proper terminology.

That is probably my fault. I was so excited to start a new project I didn't really look at how it should be and just went with how it was on its original handle. I had to bend the strap to get it onto this new handle to when I bent it back closed over this handle I was surprised how tight it actually locks up with the handle. I don't there will be any issue with the shoulder being up high. I could probably move the strap up one more hole as well...I might give that a try when i get back from tying to get these saws.

We all started somewhere. At least you had the good sense to look it up. Sorry for going all 'axe tech' on you. :D

It's cool...that's how I learn best...I will keep my eye out for a Handel with a longer shoulder for the other one I have.
 
So i was going to rehang an old pick today, but the pick needed some more time in the vinegar. Instead this one was ready so I worked on it instead.



it came out nice...i'm going to give it to a buddy of mine as a graduation gift. He is majoring in Outdoor recreation and management...only took him 10 years to grow up and get his degree.




Thanks for reading
 
Just hung this Kelly Charleston Connecticut pattern. It's my first one and I am beginning to see what the fuss is about.

Sorry about the pictures, they really are crap, but I only have a camera phone it's getting dark here now.
