It followed me home (Part 2)

[Hickory n steel]

Regardless of whether or not these are really a file handle they sure look like they'd make a great one.

So, I can stick a file it in it for an example but it didn't "follow me home" with myself in mind.
I don't know if that happens for others. Looks like it can take small to quite large file tangs.

*Ok, file.

Tight would set it straight.

Does that file handle have any markings, Agent_H?

Wow JB. You know your finds are a bit overwhelming to take in. You need something like "panorama" or wide angle lenses to get it all in one picture!

I'm not sure at what level a guy becomes a "Master Picker" but what you have going on isn't anything like I have seen in pictures or even person.



12" logging tongs/grapples (I pass these up quite often), Atkins Silver Steel and Nicholson files, and a Kelly Perfect hammer. I also bought a large Quaker-looking flush-mount hand-made bird cage for my wife and something spooky to have sitting in the backseat when I pick my daughter up from the Grandparents here shortly. That is going to be more fun for me than her, I am sure - builds character, right?

Dang. I sure like that Kelly hammer!

Never seen that before!?

'Hickery Holler' Quinton set the record straight about the superiority of air-dried and riven wood. He is also an unrepentant fan of horizontal wood grain for it's flex properties.

What I mean was: I've never seen that file handle before. Something went wrong with quoting! I know the posts of quinton!

I got that out of what you said Kevin

That's awesome research ✔
Thank you for finding and sharing that. As soon as I saw the handle in the AgentH post, I knew I was going to be looking for one as a user for a flat bastard. Even though it looked clumsyish with the file attached, I like the look you know...
Thanks guys for posting the handle and the advert.

The final result of this weekend's hunt.

jb, in the group of axes with handles, tell us about the one at the bottom - has like a long poll and interesting handle shape/curve.

 

[Agent_H]

That one caught my eye and I thought "Tommy Axe/Tomahawk" on a larger handle... But it looks in scale with the full-size axes/heads around it?

 

[Agent_H]

A Catch and release version or maybe “It Followed Me Home Lite”.

To much eye candy once again
2nd one down has such a great curve / swell / shape, rich handle.
I like that lower right, browned handled, curved (draw).
Gold headed anvil shaped hammer is very interesting. Brass, bronze?
Thanks for sharing

I found this Gransfors GAB cruiser in John Day, Oregon while I was there for the eclipse.

I also took a few photos of the eclipse.

Did you tour the China doctors home? And the wagon shop is interesting......

 

[Square_peg]

Missed 'em both.
