Is it a take down now?
Looks great! Do you disassemble, clean the head up, re-handle and sharpen? Would like to do something similar one day :)

:yikes: OMG!!! That carpenter's axe is a collector's piece!! They sell on ebay for around £400!!





hehehehee I'm kidding widya. Really impressive modifications on it too. I like the curved blade part especially.

VERY well done! Clever idea using a pick axe handle as well, two handles for the price of one. :35:

The Vaughan is as biker has identified a lath hammer from back when they used lath and plaster on stud walls, some old school roofers still use them for referb work but generaly they have fallen into redundancy for the building trade
