I've added three in a very short space of time.... But they all have a very specific job so that's ok right?

One of them is technically on loan.

Always good to have a few :).. I've got 10 at the mo ready to use and Three in Sick bay, after rescuing them from Car Boots, they are ready for helving now :)..

I thought my three Gransfors was a lot! I'm an amateur it seems when it comes to hoarding axes! I reckon you can never have too many! :)

The best thing is to try different types and makes, then you start to realise that there is some very good kit out there :), think the most I paid for an axe was my cold steel tommahawk.. the rest were a couple of quid each, and a few hrs of graft.... I also make all my own helves if they need replacing :)

Agreed.

Nothing more satisfying then retouching, helving a car boot/unloved axe

I am not one for doing any more then a tidy up and a de-rust, I like to keep axes as they were made :)

The correct term for that group is "a reasonable start" :)

BWAHAHAHAHA! That made I laugh!


Nope, no splitting maul. I've yet to convince the landlord to let me put a stove in so I have zero need for one just yet. But it is inevitable. ;) As is a double bit.


Pignut are those old Kent patterns?

Cheers

Yeh all kent patterns. I to like to leave an axe as is. However those are (mostly) made to remove cracks/splits in the steel
