Group Buy on a Nessmuk Axe?

[British Red]

When they are ready!

Cegga will send me a prototype to test when we are both happy with the design. We will use that to check angles and grinds etc.

Then we build up the mask based on the axe.

Then - well we'll see. Not quite sure how to bring them to market yet - there are several options we are considering

I can do some thats bigger and some like the one I made already .But first I want to do them as the big chife want them I think there will be some thats smaller and some thats bigger when I forge them this are made by free hand so it´s not easy to get all in same shape, hope that I can make what you all want :yikes:

Red,

Any new developmenrts regarding the Nessmuk axe?

How did the testing of prototype #3 go ?

Any photo's of it with a handle?

Cheers,

I would deff. be interested in an axe as proposed. Iwould be willing to pay £125 thereabouts.
I think a special tool like this would deff. be woth the top dollar.

Hi guys,

Sorry no real progress from the last update - I only got out of hospital yesterday and Cegga has been tied up. He tells me he hopes to have some time to work on it in the next coiuple of weeks

Hi.
I Hope everything went well at the Hospital Red. Can't wait to see the prototype axe.

 

[British Red]

Not bad mate ta - the aftermath is more uncomfortable than painful - a 48 hr nosebleed is less than amusing!

I can't wait myself and have been nagging Cegga

Well, Cegga is exploring handles for the first working prototype

This one is interesting and different - offering three grips between the sweels - full choke, half choke and end grip.

I have to say I like the look and can see the practical benefits - we will probably fit this to the prototype #3 (not the head shown - the one shown earlier

Just posted this to let you know things are progressing!

That looks nice but what's wrong with a straight handle?

 

[British Red]

Nothing at all. Cegga had this one knocked up by a wood worker and asked if I liked it. I thought about it and since this is a pure one handed axe, there will be no "sliding" action involved on the right hand. A swell at the bottom is necessary to save an "flying from the hand" risks. Why not a couple more to offer a carving and choked grip?

Fun to try on the prototype anyway - I may hate it in use but I'd like to try it!

Red,

How did the testing go? any new developments? I'm kind of hooked after I saw how expertly Cegga forged and shaped that cruiser axe head

Cheers,

Ceggas on holiday for 6 weeks at the moment (lucky guy). So we are on hold till the end of August. We haven't got a "working prototype" yet since tooling up will be required but we are getting close I feel

looking forward to seeing the finished result - missed out on axe buys so far, so i'm determined to get in on this one!

Hi Red,

How are we going on this? Any update

 

[British Red]

Cegga's back now (6 weeks holiday) and we'll do another stint of development shortly. I rather suspect this one will turn out to be a very limited run though - its a very tricky thing to get right.

[Wayland]

I'm very seriously interested in this one.

 

[British Red]

I'll keep people informed - I don't now yet whether we can do it though (a vaiable design / price combination). Its been a long slog so far

Very interesting this is BR!

Hey BR. How goes it? Any chance of progressing this. Been waiting to hear since last summer! Now that I have missed out on the 5 BR Hunter Group buy (and yes...I know, possibly the last!) I am as keen as mustard to seek alternatives from Cegga.

Cheers!

I'm watching this like a hawk, this is the axe I want and I just hope I don't miss it when it goes up.
