Title: Adze/Hazel Hoe Resto
Post by: NKlamerus on December 08, 2018, 05:56:43 AM: Been wanting to keep a decent garden hoe of some kind mounted in my truck, already have a shovel (spade) and an axe.

Picked this one up at Goodwill for $8, needed a weekend project anyways!

Handle is usable, but I want to upgrade to something at least 40" long. I'm a pretty tall guy and would hate to bend over every throw.

Never hung a head on a square though!

First steps, removing handle and U-Staple holding the head down.

Soaking it and a few other projects in evaporust overnight. First time I've ever diluted it with water so we will see how that goes.

Found a handle as well......not really what I wanted, only thing I can find with a square head. Owner of the shop has never had one returned for grain orientation breaking, running E/W instead of N/W. All 20 or so they had were like that, overall they had over 300 handles. Axes, pick axes, shovels, you name it.

Working on fitting the head now, I don't have any power tools, just a rasp, sandpaper, and a Dremel.
