excellent work i do like to see someone fixing up old axes. its a shame that so few people have the confidence to have a go, so a nod of respect to you sir.

i have been using a hand held belt sander that are commonly used for wood work to regrind edges. it has been very successful and a cheep way of removing lots of metal fast without over heating. i have a nice little kent pattern axe almost finished then i will be getting into some heads that i think were used buy lumber Jill's during ww2.
