Title: Red Becon 464 Scoutmaster hatchet
Post by: TazzieRob on October 25, 2017, 04:59:45 AM: EBay purchase German hatchet
Made up a wedge that tapered towards the top due to the larger gap at the bottom
Currently the handle end is sitting in a cup of linseed oil and the wedge and handle gets a topical treatment every so often(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171025/47bb499a3a14a284bb176469969908a0.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171025/ddf178f6a3fbe79337b553a240d40c8e.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171025/0f8241f8a6f30a67fd2bd003fad6c810.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171025/f5859d61ea61bbabb61fa8869b5693dc.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171025/a46ffab36069e87ff6958a79316d4919.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171025/2d5a6b6d774296f9833a56dd57cf7880.jpg)

Nice looking Axe Rob :tu:

Does that edge need a little work? :pok:

Post by: TazzieRob on December 30, 2017, 10:22:08 AM: It had about a 1/8 inch thick "EDGE", but I've given it a bit of flap disc shaping to give it something resembling a sharp edge. Probably needs some file work and stones to hone it up. Still in progress of moving house, so haven't done anything with it since

Post by: styx on December 30, 2017, 11:21:34 AM: That was a thick "edge". A belt sander might help with that one

Post by: TazzieRob on December 30, 2017, 12:35:34 PM: Actually 1/8 probably a bit too much. At least a sixteenth or a bit more. The flap disc on the angle grinder is my version of the belt sander. It can take a decent amount of material off. I go slow and make sure it isn't getting hot

That's my new back yard :tu:

I need to make a strop to polish up. Might still need a touch up in the middle of the edge too
