Fair play, i go to Crickhowell to the tools for self reliance, my wife tells me my eyes light up like a little kiddie when i walk in there.

Harvestman have you been to Rheola Market in Neath, i bought a lovely billhook there, it was a couple of years ago mind. A chap there had a table full of old tools, i'm sure there a few old axe heads in a box under the table. It's open on saturday morning.
