    My axe collection

    To be honest two get more use than the others And thats the Wetterlings mini it’s compact but fairly heavy ( more like a lump hammer ) used for splitting weathered Oak on my canoe camping trips mostly. And my Gransfors mini it’s so small and compact and light that I take that for when I’m...

    Little axe project

    The mods were the following I removed the old handle by carefully drilling out the old the old wedge. I reduced the size of the head by cutting it down with an angle grinder and some thin cutting discs. I kept the head cool but constantly cooling it down with a water soaked cloth. Refined the...
