    Thai Pruning Blade?

    I've made many socketed tools and sickles, but never a socketed sickle before. When you say 'mini', how small is your impression of mini? I made hooked blades down to less than 2" long! There are some cool long handled tools that were used largely through the medieval period (and hundreds of...

    i woud love to, if i had a spare few grand, level space and machinery to move big logs to it. I did look into them, but way out of my budget for the amount of use it would get! I've friends friends that hire them out, but it wouldn't be worth the effort effort for what is usually one tree a...

    For Sale Throwing Axes (mostly)

    it's a lump, so any that you can manage! Well, that's what the 16 year old me that bought it did anyway :lmao: End over end like a knife is probably the easiest though. If you are strong enough then I guess you could try the no-spin spike method.

    Glad people liked the article. Although I don't earn anything from the woods in terms of woodland products, it's great to be able to use the material myself as far as I can. I had a facebook conversation with another hippy/blacksmith friend the other day about being able to make the tools to...

    Hand forged awl

    I do make awls, but mostly proper leatherworking awls that fit into a wooden handle. Those look more like pointed awl-like objects that renactors and blacksmiths make (rather than an actual tool maker). I can't see the working ends in the picture, but are you after something to make holes in...

    Sold MSR Whisperlite stove

    I bought this a few years ago, but have only used it a handful of times (I normally have a forge whenever I'm camping!). It comes with a jet for 'white gas and automobile gasoline' and a jet for 'kerosene and jet fuel', fuel bottle, servicing kit and foil windshield; basically everything but the...

    Does anyone know of a supplier of barrel (round) wedges for axes/hammers.

    I don't like them to be honest. They appear on a lot of engineers hammers and cheap axes these days. I think it's because they spread the wood in every direction at once, whereas a flat wedge just spreads it in two directions at a time; so it's cheaper than having two wedges in an axe and allows...

    For Sale Throwing Axes (mostly)

    Here's part two of my excavation of rusty old throwing things :) I think this is the last of them (though I'm sure I had more random spikes, clevers, sickles and things that I used to throw!!). Loose rust has been removed and edges restored for throwing. The handles have suffered a bit from...

    Silverline and Draper make them, so anywhere that sells those tools can order them in for you. I've had them in multi-size packs in the past. https://www.silverlinetools.com/en-GB/Product/ProductDetail?ModelName=474098 Of course, you could buy a length of steel pipe, grind an edge onto the...
