axe

This advice is not intended for the tenderfoot, for he should never attempt to "rough it," and that is just what it means to "travel light," for when making long journeys over land, carrying the camping outfit and food on one's back, one must leave behind all of those little articles which are...

Hello, I made this axe (along many others) and decided it was time i tried myself with an axe mask. Leatherwork is not really my cup of tea, and so i made it as simple as i could, which worked out alright i think! I chose a stud button for the snap, also out of simplicity, i quite like...

Last group course of the season and I have a space to fill again. This time it's a week long course to make your own Bushcraft Cutting Tool kit! :Wow: This course combines my knife and axe making courses, with a little extra thrown in. As always the course is run in my Woodland Workshop in...

im looking at mounting 2 axes on my wall as a (usable) room feature. thinking some form of wood hook to hang them on, but was wondering if anyone else has done this or has any smart ideas. Cheers Tipi

Hey chaps, Just thought one or two of you might be interested to see a quick snap of the first phase of my Maine pattern axe production. (similar to the vintage Maine axe I posted about the other month) I'm making wedge pattern axes with high carbon 80CRV2 steel bits overcoated on. This...

Hi there! I am currently working on a slightly different axe, i have always wanted to make some larger axes, and so i thought i would give it a go! The starting material was 50x10x180mm mild steel, the cunstruction method was symmetric wrap with an 80crv2 edge insert! i started by forging...

Lanksy puck sharpener. I have used Lanksy sharpeners for some time and whilst I have tested this bad boy out I can attest to the quality of their products and I expect this one to be no different. Price £4 + £2 postage

As stated this is a brand spanking new Gransfors Bruks wildlife hatchet, sadly I never got the chance to put it to any use but I was overwhelmed by the craftsmanship of the axe itself when I first got it. Please feel free to PM me with any questions about the axe! Price: £50 + £5 postage

I picked up this little Kent pattern axe in a box of tools at auction, cost woks out to be at about 50p. I have been on a lookout for a nice light axe and it appears to fit my needs surprisingly well. It weighs 1lb 10 oz / 730g all in and the handle length is 14" / 36cm. It doesn't appear to...

Hello there! I posted this on a bladesmiths forum, but thought that you might like to see it as well: I took the plunge on a different approach to axe making today! I recently bought James Austins dvd on how to forge an asymetric axe head, and wanted to explore this method myself. However...

Hi...just finished some more items to go in my Bushcraft Show stock boxes....the glaringly bright sunshine has not made the pics exactly accurate but hey, who's complaining! hope you like! regards Sonni

Time for an overdue clear out of the sharps. Apparently, I don't *need* this many axes! :rolleyes: All axes have been stored indoors, in their sheathes, so no corrosion is evident. All heads are hand forged so show usual manufacturing marks, but there is no damage to heads. I've marked...

Hi...after talking to Dready a few days ago about how I'd not done a 'stained glass window' sheath for a while I suddenly got the urge....hope you like, regards Sonni dont you just hate it when you get a hole in your glove...

Hi...it's not as kool as a twodogs bush-shirt and it's not as complex as a fenna-bloke back-pack or as vast a job as a bilmo tarp, but i'm happy with my first decent project. i made this axe bag first as its something i'll use myself...i've woods just round the corner and have often wanted a...

I was kindly given an old Elwell No.5 felling axe some time ago by Jimbo, and it has sat rusting in the garage ever since. A few weeks ago I decided to pull my finger out, and have a crack at it! The condition of the axe wasn't the best to start with. The head was covered in that naff paint...

HI, first of all....I'm new to this world (the only knife I've had in my life was a Victorinox Hunter model)....anyway. I am now living in the mountains of Nepal (1000 meters up, nothing dramatic) and I'm in charge of a little property that I have to take care of.....this will involve making a...

Finally got round to the (semi) finishing touches on my Cold steel spike hawk. It started life as an ugly factory toy screaming out to be loved! Sadly it was too fugly, but fear not! I have been known to tinker and restore glory to such creatures! ;) My original plan has always been to chop...

Hi....just finished this....hope you like! Regards, S

Hi....Sir Ammo has asked me to do a mask and belt loop set for his Estwing so today I knocked up the prototype...and I've just gone and bought myself one of the axes too...my excuse is that I have to own every one of the axes for which I make sheaths so that I can check my work fits correctly...
