Hi Red, I know you are probably on top of this, but I have to make the point, it's illegal for anyone to sell an axe to anyone under 16 years old (even if they have their parents permission). Selling it to Leon's mum would be fine - she can then give it to Leon legally.

Regards,
Martyn.
 
god martyn sure knows his legal stuff
my mum will pay for it through check, would that be legal?
leon
 
Thanks Martyn, good point.

Leon,

Get you Mum to send me an e-mail saying you are allowed to have it.

However - no money will change hands on this. Remeber Leon, I promised you wouldn't lose out from "paying it forward"

Leon,

Good man Red, just to cover your own back I would address the parcel to Leon's mum as well. ;)

I know no money has changed hands here, but for the benefit of others with regard to under 16's, remember it's the seller who breaks the law and risks preosecution, not the buyer. ;)

Leon,

E-mail received thank your mum for me!

Your axe will be despatched tomorrow mate (addressed to your dad) and you should have it before next weekend. Its not very old (Make sure you read the little book that is attached to it). Also make sure you get Kevin or one of the old fogeys to show you proper technique

Have fun little bro (under supervision to start with - show us some piccs)

Red
 
cant wait untill it arrives, yes i will definitely put pics up, is the axe sharp as my sharpening skills are not up to much
leon
 
Leon,

Its a new Granny B so it will sever a limb if you are careless :eek:

Yes mate its sharp. It can be improved later if you want surgical sharp. I am happy to pass on what tips I can (my axes are as sharp as my knives), however you are in the presence of one of the real, all time, axe experts on this forum. If, and its a big if, OldJimbo was to instruct you in sharpening, I for one will sit with you and learn from him.

He is a busy man, but a very, very, wise one.

You can only ask (Jimbo is Yoda to my Luke)

Red
 
Well, I suggest you ask OldJimbo how to sharpen your axe! :D

Explain your age to him though and what kind of axe you have or he won't understnad how to pitch his explanations ;) Jimbos grandaughters are older than you (however I fear Jimbo is younger than me :rofl)

Have a browse through his site

http://www.oldjimbo.com/

You can find a link there but here is a link to the manual

Read and Learn - awesome stuff
