Some really cool hatchets here

New hobby since about the start of the year. Super fun. Still learning. Got real lucky with a few heads. Some I bought for $5 and others I paid $40 for. I’m amazed at how little is required to get going. I’m paying retail for new handles.

I’m using an ultrasonic cleaner from HarborFreight, white vinegar, brass wire wheel, hand-files, rasps, box-cutter blades, drywall-backed paper, and a tiny soldering torch. Finishing with BLO and wax.

you've got some really awesome stuff here.

Thanks! It’s been really fun. I’m slowly zeroing-in on what I prefer to work on. I found a 2.5 lb Collins Cruiser the other day and I think it might be my favorite so far. Also that little Norland Tomahawk. It’s amazing, the deals you can find when you start looking. I found a Gransfors splitting maul bundled with a S&N mini-maul for $50 a few weeks ago. The Gransfors remains the only one that I haven’t re-hung so far, out of about thirty.

Stumptown just got a 32" stick on my 4lb perfect. He knocked it out of the park

This is the start of a hot romantic drama of a forbidden love of two different axes, that even though they're from different social economic classes they will go against what the norm says and "forge" their own fate.

Took my dog to "The Lake" with some of my recent projects to split some wood for my Mom.
