The axe was one of mankind's earliest tools. It got invented more or less the day after stone knapping was invented; I think it was a Thursday. :think: And the axe is still a popular tool today, so there must be something useful in it's design.
(https://assets.atlasobscura.com/article_images/33259/image.jpg)
Here's the idea: participants will try to maximize the use and uses of an axe for 30 days, in order to learn the full capabilities of these great tools.
Here are my proposed rules for the challenge, we could change them as need, but they are mostly in-line with any standard 30-day challenge:
(https://i.imgur.com/AMkpjcXt.jpg) Each participant shall carry and/or use an axe (or axes), hatchet, or tomahawk for 30 days. I may not be possible to carry an axe all-day, every day, but you can try to use it in lieu of other edged tools.
(https://i.imgur.com/AMkpjcXt.jpg) Each participant in the challenge shall post a photo of his or her axe for every day of the 30-day period.
(https://i.imgur.com/AMkpjcXt.jpg) Every effort will be made to use the axe as a primary tool for the duration of the challenge, to the exclusion of other tools as possible.
(https://i.imgur.com/AMkpjcXt.jpg) If another tool, e.g. a Swiss Army Knife, is used, participants shall be expected to provide an explanation as to why the axe wasn't capable of performing the job, e.g. "It seemed odd to open a box of copier paper at work using my tomahawk, so I used a Skeletool instead."
(https://i.imgur.com/AMkpjcXt.jpg) Participants are expected to use their axes in a safe and lawful manner during the challenge. Don't take your axe to work if that is frowned upon....or get a better job.
There are quite a few challenges lined-up in the near future, and, since it's most fun to use axes outdoors, I think we should run this first-ever MTo 30-day axe challenge in the Summer or Fall. I've added a poll to this thread (no pun intended) for people to vote on the month they would like to do this challenge. We'll try to go with a majority vote. :tu:
Please, vote only if you want to participate. Thanks.
I don't expect this will be an easy challenge. It's harder to lug a battle axe around than it is to pocket a Victorinox Executive. Still, I suspect this challenge could be very educational and a lot of fun. I hope we can get a few intrepid axe fans to join in!
-- Nix
p.s. I have requested a badge be created for this challenge. The early indication is that this request will be approved...nothing official yet, but if a few of us complete this, I think a badge is likely to be developed. :tu:

Please keep in mind that for this challenge, like most other challenges, you aren't required to take your axe, hatchet, or tomahawk to work. (If you have a job where an axe is useful, that's a different matter.)
Likewise, it is not recommended to carry your axe into the grocery store, bank, or post office. I'd also discourage participants from taking axes into movie theaters, restaurants, and bars. Although there are some pretty cool bars out there where axes may be tolerated.
For most of us, our axe use will be limited to mornings before work, evenings after work, days off, and holidays. If you are tempted by this challenge, but think it might be too much of a hassle.....reconsider. The demands of this challenge are relatively light, and merely designed to showcase these great tools for a month.

So, I am already super pumped for this challenge and figured I would share a great video about a cheap and reliable sharpening stone for our axes. I have always had a fascination with whetstones but have never had one. This upcoming challenge is just the thing to inspire me to order one so that I can check it out.

Post by: Nix on February 21, 2019, 09:20:41 PM
I think....and nobody hold me to this...that I'm going to go with this axe for the challenge:
(https://i.imgur.com/17fPTbx.jpg)
It is a Wetterlings Hunter's axe. It is essentially a large hatchet. The poll is rounded off. I think that was originally done so the poll could be used to help separate a game animal's hide from the carcass. This one looks like it could use a bit of cleaning up now......
My grandfather taught me to sharpen an axe with a mill file and a puck like the one in the photo above. I'm curious about how you puck works. I'd be interested in upgrading mine, if yours works well.
I also have taken to using bench stones and sandpaper to get a really sharp edge on my axes. For the challenge, I'm going to try to keep the axe razor sharp in order to maximize it's all-around versatility. :tu:

Granfors Bruks makes a great range of axes, I have their Small Forrest axe (another 'boys axe') and their Wildlife Hatchet. The Small Forrest Axe is probably my most used axe, but lately I haven't been using an axe a whole lot.
That's about to change..... ;)

To be fair, my S&N still has it's original handle and has no issues (10+ years old).
However, if I had to run out and buy a new axe before being dropped off in the middle of the boreal forrest tomorrow, I'd probably go with a GB. They seem to get it right the first time, every time.

An updated version is still being made and issued to some US troops, like combat engineers. Apparently they make good tools for breaching operations, etc. I always thought the handles were a bit short, but that may have made them easier to tote around, along with all a soldier's regular gear.

I was thinking short handles as not to catch all the jungle vegetation. Much like cutting the long barrel shotguns to short barrels.

I have to say, this line brought a wee tear to my eye:
Quote
If you search the Internet for ax, axe, or axes, you will probably find more sites related to guitars (referred to as “ax”) than you will to those dealing with cold, hard steel.
I'm now starting to think of our axe challenge as a small step to reverse that trend. :tu:
Post by: FInixNOver on March 10, 2019, 12:12:13 AM
I do have an axe but, in all the time I've had it, I've used it zero times!
I don't really have a need for an axe in my daily life. Sometimes I wish I did...
Have a great challenge guys. I'll be following it.

You don't have to carry it every minute of every day. Just try to use it when and how you can. And post a photo every day.
I really have no idea where this challenge will go or how it will turn out. But that's the point!
One thing I promise to try, as I do in all my challenges, I will try to cut up a chicken (neatly) with my axe. I'm thinking I'll try to spatchcock it and then grill it. It could be a huge mess, a disaster, but let's see what these axes are really capable of!
Think about it, FlnixNOver (and everyone else). :cheers:

I have a British proof colonial era repro 'hawk that I'd love to put to the test.
Each station of the Dept. I work for was issued a breaching kit, including an axe. Unfortunately, it's nowhere near as cool as the SOG Hawk. It's the same kit the military was issued. I'm at a highway station now (as opposed to a county station where we dealt with pretty much everything you could imagine :facepalm:), but I'll see if I can find one that I can get a pic of.
Nice 'hawk, Ray.
The originals 'Vietnam Tomahawk' was designed by Peter LaGana, who I believe was a USMC vet from WW II.
(http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/uploads//monthly_03_2016/post-123-0-83605400-1457556040.jpg)
An updated version is still being made and issued to some US troops, like combat engineers. Apparently they make good tools for breaching operations, etc. I always thought the handles were a bit short, but that may have made them easier to tote around, along with all a soldier's regular gear.

OK, first, nice axe. Second.....perhaps...just perhaps....this is an opportunity to try to see what that little gem can do?Still got some time to make up my mind, but let me warn you just now that, my hypothetical participation will consist mostly of beauty shots.

I cannot carry it to work, and once I get back home, I don't see myself needing it.
I bought it hoping for more picnics in the woods and more camping trips... So, maybe then, I guess...

That's part of the reason I'm choosing a small axe (hatchet) for the challenge. I've always used larger axes and haven't done much with small axes, I think the challenge might be a good time to learn more about this size of axe.That is very true. The challenges do get us to start thinking about the tool in hand!

I was in a cold-weather survival school once. As part of the instruction, we viewed an old black & white film made for the military. A narrator and a Canadian (Ojibway) woodsman were dumped out on an island in the arboreal forest with just a full-sized felling axe.
In short order, the woodsman had built a fire using the axe. He then proceeded to build a shelter. Then he built some kit to spear fish and traps for small animals. When their food stores got raided by a bear, he built a trap to catch the bear.
Meanwhile, he used the axe to build a canoe and a paddle.
He then paddled off to effect a self-rescue.
All with an axe (and a lot of knowledge and skill).
I think the point was that one can be quite resourceful if necessary. But the utility of an axe stuck with me. :o

Not sure which I'll use most likely a sog fasthawk.
I may rotate in a couple others. Probably going to be a lot of kitchen prep and beauty shots.
I have to be careful because public possession off of "real property" is illegal in Texas.
I can walk down the street with a sword but a little tiny tomahawk...nope
On that note would an axe shaped object such as an Tops Atax, OffGrid Survival "axe, Farson blade, Klax, or one of the various other compact survival gadgets count?
Then again some of those may be more knife than axe
Post by: Nix on March 13, 2019, 04:13:51 AM
I'm a bit confused by those Texas laws. An axe is covered under separate law from knife law? I'd love to understand that better.
Anyway, hope you'll join in! :tu:

2. Rapid Ray (needs a vacation axe)
3. RF52 (hasn't committed to the challenge, but will in a couple of days)

As long as you aren't a felon you can own just about anything you want, taking it off your property is another issue.
Single Edge knives 5.5in & less are unregulated aside from total weapon bans in places like Gov buildings & airports
Double-edged knives, throwing knives, swords, sword cane, spears, and anything over 5.5 inch you can take anywhere that you can legally carry a gun (30.06/7 "no carry" signs do not apply to this)
Clubs, blackjacks, tomahawks, axes, Etc are considered "illegal club" and banned from carry off your own property or anywhere you have permission to be with one.
So for axes it generaly gets applied as reasonable use ie: landscapers and campgrounds are ok but having one on you 'just because' is a crime.
There are other regs for diffrent weapon classes and even body armor but I wont get into them.
As for the question of oddballs that may or may not count I was just looking for an excuse to buy more toys

Tested the hawk today
Cool looking 'hawk, RF. It strongly reminds my of the LaGana tomahawk.
I can imagine the spike could be quite useful for all sorts of tasks (aside from stabbing through an enemy's helmet), but it does also seem to pose a bit of risk to the user. Be careful with that bad boy! :tu:

Had to google that one, but you are right, it is very similar :like:
It is probably useful, but maybe not so much in the woods :dunno:
Only thing I'm sure of is that it would be a bad day if I got that spike in my eye or something :rofl:

The edge will still need a bit of work: it slices thick paper but isn't shaving sharp yet. I like this axe, but the head is fairly heavy (around 2 pounds). This is a bit of an oddity, since it has an axe-head on a hatchet handle (~19"). The handle is just long enough to use two-handed, although it is a skinny handle. While this axe would bring a bit more horsepower to the challenge, it might be a bit heavy for 'EDC' use when hiking or fishing or hunting.
Sort of a first-world problem, I know. :facepalm:
And I'm still looking around for a restoration project.

My Fiskars camp axe and hardware store hatchets will most likley be sitting this one out. I simply don't "live" in the woods the way I used to.
I am however also toying with getting something new and unconventional. So here are a couple that I was looking at.
Farson Hatchet:
Fremont knives made the Farson blade which is a D shaped survival tool that looks kind of like a herb chopper and then after customer feedback put out a hatchet version with a handle. To me they look like a miniature Ontario SPAX air crew rescue axe w/o the spike
The back stories on these are they are based on a stone hand axe found in the Arizona desert.
Tops FDX-17/18 Mini Axe
While it is a normal one piece axe it is so small with only a 2.5in blade anf 7in over all. It really is pushing the limits of axe v knife. But Tops does list it with their axes.
I really like the look of this but question its utility.
So here I am on the fence about getting a new toy...
Any thoughts?
Post by: Nix on March 16, 2019, 06:32:28 PM
That Tops 'tool' looks like a fun tool and a useful knife. It doesn't really read 'axe' to me, especially at that size. It seems more like an Ulu-Axe hybrid, much like the one Ken used in the Fixie challenge.
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190201/cb7015dd3fcb880c796643850d0241ed.jpg)
Especially at that size, I think it would be used like a knife more than an axe. Again, that's just me. :dunno:
On the other hand, that Farson is really cool and does read 'axe' to me. I would love to see that in the challenge. That seems like a great all-around chopping/cutting tool. And bottle opener. Which is important. Especially in the desert. ;)
OK, that's my 2¢.
As far as I'm concerned, the challenge is here for you to make it what you want and what would benefit you (and the rest of us vicariously). :tu:

Post by: Noa Isumi on March 16, 2019, 10:58:02 PM
The Farson is curious as many would confuse it with a cleaver (an asthetic shared by Condor Thorax)
I have plenty of actual axes and hawks to do the challenge. I am really just looking for excuses to buy more.
I am also thinking of also pocketing a hawk head without shaft instead of my knife.(which is a historicly accurate use)
Fiscars Medium axe (same as "gerber sport" if I remember model sizes correctly)
Untied VietnamHawk replica w/ Vaughn 14in framing hammer handle instead of the stock 10in ballpeen type
Sog FastHawk
Camillus bearded Hatchet
Stanley joke
Hawk, hand forged by a friend who is Seneca. This was my go to while hiking/hunting for several years and has gone through a few handles.
Note: not pictured 2 cheap hardware store hatchets

I was tempted by an old hatchet, but the 'toe' had been rounded over more than I would have liked.
So I'll keep looking. I wish we had some Scottish middens around here.......

I'd like it if you would restore the terms 'heel' and 'toe' to the anatomy picture. Those are good terms. They help us talk about the axe bit in a detailed way.
And Sparky probably agrees with me, because he's smart about these things. :pok:

6. Greg 'Chopper' Jones (with a couple axes and a positive attitude.)
7. KBM3 (with an axe to be named later...)
8. Fuzzbucket (with a cobbled together midden relic)
9. 'Battle Axe' Barry Rowland

The good thing about some challenges is that it makes you get your finger out and do something about those projects you have on the backburner, those " i will do it later" ones. As it's only 6 months till the challenge i thought i better make a start on sorting out a couple of weekenders, the Stubai (shiny one) is ready to go and i found a couple of Elwells that need attention, those will be re shafted, sharpened and oiled :woohoo:
I assume some of you guys are the same but when i break an axe it gets thrown to the side and the backup gets used, the backup gets replaced and so it goes on, we never quite get round to repairing the broken or damaged ones, those get nearer and nearer to the shed door as the years go by and soon enough they are lying scattered around outside slowly returning to nature, well..no more, i will make it my mission to return any axe i find to good usable condition :angel:

Found 2 more to add to the mix, another Elwell and a CK, i think i have a couple of knives from CK, an old German brand from way back, seems they have been based in Wales since the 50's, i'm not a huge fan of metal hafts so it will be a challenge in itself to carry this one, it is nice and small though :tu:

We are trying to bring to fruition this first-ever MTo Axe Challenge badge, an honor that should carry with it a degree of respectability. Toward that end, I will continue to encourage the proper use of the appropriate terminology for these historied and valued tools. Borg is even turning over a new leaf. Don't sully our efforts with your callous indifference and wanton, slovenly ways. Show some respect, man.

Fuzzy its 11 1/4" long. The axe head is 3 3/4" and the bit is 2 5/16". Its small it'll fit in your back pocket easily. :)

I've wanted one of these Council Tool Velvicut Saddle Axe (http://counciltool.com/shop/velvicut/velvicut-premium-saddle-axe/) for a while. These seem to be mostly sold out. But I found a place that has one left so might talk myself into one before long. :D
I've look at those before. Very tempting.
I like my Council small axe. And they use 5160 steel for the head.
Sorry....I probably shouldn't have said that.....

Actually, I'm probably going to get this...
Very tomahawk-like. I could see carrying that. And the weight sounds good.
On the other hand....I do like the bit shape of the large carpenter's axe. I like the extra toe, that seems like it could be pressed into service for a number of different jobs.

Aye, the friction fit really appeals - it'll be more usable for me if I can swap different sized handles or use the axe head as wood scraper... Also, I like the idea that, if I wanted to, I can fit a standard handle to it at a later date... with a dirty big knob.

As long as your knob can fit through the eye of that head, you'll have a good time... Otherwise I foresee too much friction...

I might be wrong but i would say a Kent pattern hatchet ? No clue of maker but my one has No2 stamped on it, probably there are many around as they were well made and cheap to buy, or they were crap and nobody used them :dunno:
Lots of potential there. :tu:
Yep, i don't see any cracks so hopefully they will be fine, i will see better once the rust is off :tu:
Thanks Nix, thanks Barry :salute:
Today i removed the handle on the small project axe, when drilling i noticed it had two wedges so that's good, they can be reused.. i must admit it's the first brass wedges i have seen, very posh :woohoo:
(https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7923/47472926071_cb7301b62e_z.jpg)
They look like one of those old window catch things ripped in two, i put one in to show what i mean..or bits of a hinge or something :dunno: who knows, but it raised a smile as although it wasn't my doing, its the sort of thing i would have done 20 years ago, i won't bother reusing them but to be fair the person that did it at least made an effort to make them pointy :cheers:

so what are the minimal tools needed to make a rudimentary sheath
How rudimentary? In theory, I suppose, just a knife if you've got an old bicycle tyre kicking about - cut bit of the tyre to match the bit and use a length of the inner tube to tie it on? :think:

An awl, needles and thread or braided fishing line. Or a Heat gun and PVC pipe.

For a leather mask or sheath, you'll need 1) a way to cut the leather, e.g. sharp knife, 2) a way to fasten your bits of leather together, so....staples, rivets or needles and thread, and 3) a way to make small holes in the leather for your rivets or thread, e.g. drill or awl.
I may try to make a simple mask using just a SAK that has an awl with a sewing eye and a bit of thread. That'd be fun. :tu:
Actually, Nix is quite right, rivets are the way to go - easy to use and it looks great. :hatsoff:

The hardest bit is cutting a clean edge on the leather.
Sharp tools, steady hand.
(And then use some sandpaper to erase your mistakes...*cough, cough*)

In lieu of rivets, one could assemble a sheath with 'Chicago Screws'.

It's size 00 so very light at 400g. I just thought the design was very interesting and unusual - it has a very flat haft.... and because it has a flat narrow head, I'm hoping it'll make a decent carpentry axe if I make a smaller handle for it.... I won't really know until I get my hands on it.

Axes are dangerous tools and should be used with care.
Basic safety equipment is advised when using an axe.
Do not use an axe when you are tired, delirious, under the influence of mind-altering substances, or are Fuzzbucket.

I bought this funny looking axe mainly as a teaser/taster for the forthcoming challenge - just as something to have a bit of fun with and maybe even use as a carpentry axe, but not to use for the challenge, I wanted something a bit bigger and heavier for that.
Well... I think I've changed my mind now, because this thing is seriously smurfing fun to use... and smurfing weird to boot! :2tu:
I don't know where to begin really, also I don't want to say too much about it really if I'm going to use it for the challenge, so I'll stop arseing about and just post the pics for now...
What I will say though - this is a serious chopper!!! :ahhh

The edge seems angled down toward the handle more than I typically select, but I bet that aids in chopping.
The squared up handle seems a bit unusual, and I wonder if it would be comfortable to use for long periods. Though I suppose a rasp and some sandpaper could ease any hot spots.
Nah, seems like a cool axe and a good choice for the challenge.

You're absolutely right and it's going to take a bit of getting used to... However, my Bahco hatchet is a lot heavier and is good at cutting kindling, but as you might expect struggles to split hardwood. This however has no problem and it's only got a 400g head... I'm a bit dumbfounded really - how did it manage that? :ahhh

Perhaps the more acute edge & blade geometry enables it to drive into the wood better? Facilitating a better wedging action?
I was chopping kindling with this today - which it's excellent at, probably the best axe I've used yet - I'm holding it less than halfway down the haft and it's slicing it up effortlessly... Anyway, I was thinking about what you said. I think the angle of the bit in relation to the handle has a lot to do with it - it's a bit of a morbit comparison, but it's very similar to a guillotine blade.

Sorry Tazzie, I meant to reply yesterday. Yes, I saw some of his videos not that long ago and thought they were quite considered and thoughtful, but I need to revisit them I think as I didn't spend nearly enough time watching them.
I also saw a video of a young American guy doing a review on a Rinaldi felling axe. At first I was thinking, oh here we go - sprog hasn't got a clue etc, etc... Then he started using it and he was smurfing outstanding with his technique and just general confidence in himself and with the axe. It's such a reassuring thing to see young people like that.
Post by: Syncop8r on April 16, 2019, 11:46:25 AM

Perhaps the more acute edge & blade geometry enables it to drive into the wood better? Facilitating a better wedging action?I guess if the handle is horizontal at the moment of striking then all the force will go into one point (at the far end) of the blade. :think:

I'm brushing up on my ancient Greek philosophy in preparation..... :ahhh

There's no point seeking pearls of axe related wisdom from the greeks - they were far too preoccupied with other things...

Look at that... not an axe in site.

Right... Nix n I have had a right good chat and we both agree it would be proper nice to have an in challenge GAW to help us all get through the long arduous wait 'til October... or Choptober as I like to call it. :2tu:
So, without further adooo... let's play...
NAME... THAT... AXE!!!
Doo doo-doo doo doo doo doo-doo doo doo....
When I got my new Rinaldi axe I wanted to name it Killer, but Stevey - the wise old pillar of MTo that he is (he's almost 70 this year) - err'd caution and suggested that I start a Name Fuzzy's Axe thread instead and leave it to the Gods to decide!
(http://u.cubeupload.com/Fuzzbucket/34B3BF1B256C40AEA937.jpeg)
Well, the Gods have tended to be a tad unpredictable recently, so I'm consulting the next best thing - the enlightened and esteemed members of MTo and I'm asking them to play.... Wait for it....
NAME... THAT... AXE!!!
In return the lucky winner will receive this - The Ax Book by D. Cook (Marine Corp Vet who served with distinction in WW2 fighting in the Pacific theatre). Now, I confess, as I did to Nix earlier, that I have not actually read this booky... but I have had a bloody good thumb through it and it seems delightfully interesting and rather enjoyable at the very least ... plus it gets five star reviews from anonymous folk online who I'm sure know what they're talking about.
(http://u.cubeupload.com/Fuzzbucket/F5AB16170BDE417D8903.jpeg)
But wait... There's more!
As well as this book, which does look bloody good actually, I'll also include something else Axe related too... more hands on... and shiney. What could it be?!?
Right to play... NAME... THAT... AXE!!!... simply add your name to the usual GAW list with your suggestion or suggestions - you can make as many as you like - just remember to number each suggestion separately... You all know what to do! Usual rules apply - open to all MTo members with 50 posts or more etc... and Fuzzy rules are subject to sudden and unpredictable change etc.
However, there is one condition though that needs to be clearly stipulated from the get go: The winner has to get involved in Nix's forthcoming challenge in some way or another, either by participating directly in the callenge or by cheering from the sidelines injecting insightful, helpful and/or unhelpful tips!
Right... I'll start...
NAME... THAT... AXE!!!

1. Notable because he is the only Scottish philosopher thought to be able to read.
2. It's not clear that the great philosopher's axiom will convince Mrs Fuzzbucket or ameliorate her judgements.

Was this you in Basic?
Oh, you had to bring that up!!!
NO!
That was Grandad Nix when he was an instructor. :facepalm:
For obvious reasons they didn't want him on the front lines with live ammunition. :td:
While this may seem like a sad story, I did mean that he survived the war and sire my father, who obviously (most likely), sired me. So this has a happy ending. :cheers:

It does look like a small firemans axe, but it does not have any markings at all and I have no idea what it's made of. It's been laying around in a bus garage for many years and been wet and dirty several times but not a single rustspot on it.
Anyway, I think it looks cool
I'm not sure if I should cut of the spike and try to make the back more of a hammer and use it for a camp axe/hatchet or leave it as is.Sent fra min FRD-L09 via Tapatalk

I also have a kind of "Fireman's axe" made by Marbles, the red one next to the center axe. It's deadly and has so many sharp edges and cutting surfaces, it's a tool to handle with lots of care :o

This one might be a bit arcane, so bear with me.
Philosopher Jeremy Bentham was a pioneer in the branch of philosophy known as 'Utilitarianism".
Quote
Though there are many varieties of the view discussed, utilitarianism is generally held to be the view that the morally right action is the action that produces the most good. There are many ways to spell out this general claim. One thing to note is that the theory is a form of consequentialism: the right action is understood entirely in terms of consequences produced. What distinguishes utilitarianism from egoism has to do with the scope of the relevant consequences. On the utilitarian view one ought to maximize the overall good — that is, consider the good of others as well as one's own good.
I suspect Utilitarianism is Fuzzy's forte and it lead him to purchase the Rinaldi: he gets the good of the axe, we get the good of learning about the axe, and Rinaldi stays in business. It's all good--that's Utilitarianism.
Now, Bentham was a bit quirky, the way English people often are.
Here's Jeremy in wax and bone:
(https://cpb-eu-w2.wpmucdn.com/blogs.ucl.ac.uk/dist/9/20/files/2014/01/photo-17-2.jpg)
I say 'wax and bone', because that is Jeremy's skeleton, covered in a wax likeness, and dressed in Jeremy's clothes and hat, with his walking stick. More on the stick later. He wanted to be preserved so that if people wanted his company, they could wheel him out to have a seat at the table. Sad to say, he doesn't attend parties much, but mostly hangs around some dusty old English university.
Skeleton and stick, yes, but it's not his head.
Jeremy's head:
(https://assets.atlasobscura.com/article_images/46714/image.jpg)
In accordance to his wishes, his head was removed and preserved in the Maori tradition. However, it didn't go to plan and a true Maori-style head was never really achieved. So Jeremy's head gets displayed separately. I said 'quirky', right?
Ok, but what, besides Utilitarianism and a desire for some bizarre form of immortality, do Jeremy and Fuzzy have in common?
They both like to name their possessions.
Jeremy named his walking stick "Dapple" and his teapot was named "Dickey".
It now seems only fitting for Fuzzy to name his new axe:

Since Fuzzy has been too lazy to pick a name from the excellent list of suggested names, I have time to sneak another suggestion in.

Right, where do I start.
First off, it's far too early to pick a name yet... and besides, let's face it, the quality's been pretty pish poor so far - I expected better things, get your finger(s) out you lot!*
Secondly, about Jezza, my brother and I were both totally convinced that we saw that display (in the flesh) at Broughty Ferry Castle in the 80s, but as far as I can see, it's never actually left UCL... So, I ask you, what's that all about? Maybe, it was just a tramp after all as had been suggested by others. Anyway, exceeding interesting fellow none the less - well worth looking up... and, once again, an excellent and thoughtful post Nix. :hatsoff:
I still recon I saw his body though.
*I am of course joking.

At times.....it seems that these philosopher-types have too much time on their hands.....kinda like some MT.o members I could mention..... :whistle: Time that might have been better used chopping wood. Eh?
For instance, I'm not convinced that humanity is significantly better for this gem:
(https://image.slidesharecdn.com/hour2-160131163937/95/part-2-philosophy-of-science-induction-and-bayes-theorem-26-638.jpg?cb=1454258457)
Bayes' enumeration of Hempel's "Paradox of Ravens", while mostly useless, does have a certain charm in its empirical illustration of man's folly and implied encouragement to spend one's time better.
With this as a nudge, it seems prudent to name the Rinaldi, "Brân", to remind us to spend more time chopping wood and less time stuck in our heads.
Brân?
Glad you axed. "Brân the Blessed" was a Welsh King. Legend has it that he had his head buried at the site of the White Tower in the world-famous Tower of London.
Quote
According to the Welsh Triads, Brân's head was buried in London where the White Tower now stands.
He did this, with his face looking toward French shores, so that he could ever protect Britain from invasion. Hence, Brân is part of the tower's legendary strength. Not that axes were always used responsibly at the Tower.....
(http://www.strangehistory.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Execution-at-the-Tower.jpg)
Did I mention that Brân is the Welsh word for 'Raven'? Well, there you have it, a new submission for Fuzzy's axe name, based on Philosophy and why we should chop more wood.
Or something...... :think:

Kutkh is a bit of a trickster who chips away at the curtain surrounding the world, thereby letting in the light. Additionally, he apparently gets around--if you know what I mean--and helps populate the world with various peoples and animals.
Quote
Kutkh's virility is emphasized in many legends.
Not sure why, but it seems appropriate....

I know, that's what reminded me of the story... Mrs Nix told me in GREAT detail. :tu:
I have. I've spent quite a bit of time in BC and Mrs Fuzzy is sort of from there... in a convoluted complicated sort of way. I haven't managed to get back in ten odd years now though.
Sorry for being a bit braggy with the art... I got over excited. :facepalm:

True story: Zeus swallows Metis, being fearful that her offspring will be wiser than he is and potentially overthrow him as ruler of all. However, sly old Metis is already preggers with Zeus' child, Athena. Hephestus takes an axe and splits Zeus' head open (non-fatal injury for an immortal). Out pops mighty Athena. Things get complicated after that, but we do have a close association between Athena and axes.

Despite how much legal trouble I would get to lug around an axe in a metropolis, I'm in >:D . In case of getting arrested for doing this, I want a special badge just for that. :facepalm:
Axemen:
1. Nix (hasn't decide which axe...)
2. Rapid Ray (needs a vacation axe)
3. RF52 (hasn't committed to a specific axe)
4. Borg (planning on a smallish axe)
5. Styx (most likely, if things haven't gone full-on 'berserker', and even then, perhaps.)
6. Greg 'Chopper' Jones (with a couple axes and a positive attitude.)
7. KBM3 (with an axe to be named later...)
8. Fuzzbucket (with an axe to be named later)
9. 'Battle Axe' Barry Rowland
10. Noa Isumi (with multiple axes)
11. David
12. gustophersmob (with an Estwing)
13. Comis (with Chip Chop No.1)
Choptoble, here I come. :popcorn:

Sorry about that. I was trying to remove fuzzy’s witty *ahem* banter to clean up the list, and must have deleted it.

Firstly, I'm going to let Jean-Paul Sartre, the godfather of Axistentialism, be my inspiration:
(https://www.brainyquote.com/photos_tr/en/j/jeanpaulsartre/103662/jeanpaulsartre1-2x.jpg)
Obviously, the Rinaldi has, at least in part, inspired Fuzzy to live a more axe-full existence. So, take that Sartre!

But let us not dismiss Sartre completely. Many of our modern views have been deeply influenced by his thoughts. Yet, perhaps, more people still might consider the great thinker's ideas...

Robert the Bruce was a Scottish toff who got thousands slaughtered in an outright power grab, but he was a revolutionary and led a mad rabble to independence from England, so we have to admire him a bit. Plus he looked good in a skirt....so rumor has it.
Most importantly, the man was known to be handy with an axe, a weapon he favored on the battlefield.

That... my friend... is putting it mildly:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_de_Bohun
"De Bohun lowered his lance and charged, but Bruce stood his ground. At the last moment Bruce manoeuvred his mount nimbly to one side, stood up in his stirrups and hit de Bohun so hard with his axe that he split his helmet and head in two. Despite the great risk the King had taken, he merely expressed regret that he had broken the shaft of his favourite axe."

At the last moment Bruce manoeuvred his mount nimbly to one side, stood up in his stirrups and hit de Bohun so hard with his axe that he split his helmet and head in two. Despite the great risk the King had taken, he merely expressed regret that he had broken the shaft of his favourite axe."
:D
Just total badass...if he is still alive, I'd wonder whether it is a good idea to ask him to join this challenge, it probably make this the first R-rated thread in MTO though. >:D :D

Better known as a writer than a philosopher, the quirky Kafka was still a deep thinker and visionary.
(https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1200/1*6tQVK25UU1XwRL99mb-76w.jpeg)
This may be my favorite Kafka quotation:

2. Rapid Ray (needs a vacation axe)
3. RF52 (hasn't committed to a specific axe)
4. Borg (planning on a smallish axe)
5. Styx (most likely, if things haven't gone full-on 'berserker', and even then, perhaps.)
6. Greg 'Chopper' Jones (with a couple axes and a positive attitude.)
7. KBM3 (with an axe to be named later...)
8. Fuzzbucket (with an axe to be named later)

I don't think you have to participate in the challenge for Fuzzy's challenge, just follow along and make fun of the people who are in the challenge. But, it would be great to have you along...even if you did poach my victory...*grumble, grumble*...

Just need to post a photo of your axe every day....... ;)
Or this...
However, there is one condition though that needs to be clearly stipulated from the get go: The winner has to get involved in Nix's forthcoming challenge in some way or another, either by participating directly in the challenge or by cheering from the sidelines injecting insightful, helpful and/or unhelpful tips!
Which I'm happy to do

The Texas Governor has signed HB446 legalizing brass knuckles, clubs, and tomahawks
:woohoo:
As of Sept 1 I wont have to worry about carrying an axe for the challange. It will still be hard given I live and work in an urban setting so my axes dont get much use, but its 1 less thing to have to think about.

Legalising how, Noa? As in it won't be against the law to have them on you in public? Or you'll be able to open carry a tomahawk on your belt? I mean, that's kinda badass, gun on one side, tomahawk on the other...
Post by: Noa Isumi on June 06, 2019, 04:05:11 PM
Now they will be avalable for carry open or concealed. I doubt anybody is going grocery shopping with a tomahawk though.
The real reason they changed it is the popularity of small batons and the "cat" knuckle keychains for self defense.
I just knew going into this that I was probably going to be doing a lot of beauty shots and kitchen prep...this at least lets me explore more locations.
Post by: styx on June 09, 2019, 09:25:13 AM
Pretty much axes and tomahawks were banned from possession in public; with exclusions for things like active trades and camping use. When the old law was written they got bundled in with batons, clubs, tire thumpers, slaps & blackjacks. So even keeping one in a daypack 'just because' was banned.
Now they will be avalable for carry open or concealed. I doubt anybody is going grocery shopping with a tomahawk though.

I just used some linseed oil I found in the shed. If I was down south, I might have used cedar oil, but I think linseed oil is good enough.

Just finished a smaller (half sized) ash handle for Fuzzaxe this afternoon. Although I really like the original haft, the ergonomics of this one fit my hand better and I also think ash is an axcellent wood... it's lovely to hold. :dd:

The 600mm sledge handle I have feels pretty good, I'd say this will be similar when done.
Just remember, Muscle weighs more than Fat, so getting in shape doesn't necessarily mean dropping in weight so much. If I had Abs instead of Flabs, I'd probably still be a similar weight. Well, that's what I'm telling myself, anyway!

My Rinaldi axe's eye is tapered a bit: skinnier down low, wider at the top. Says 'tomahawk' to me.
Like so:

TR, I think these get hung like a tomahawk. Axe head will slide up the handle to get seated at the top.

Yep, the outline on the end of the mattock handle is the smaller bottom/back of the eye, not the larger top/front. Will use the extra meat from the mattock head swell to keep the head on :tu:
Don't take any notice other sledge handle as a final, just plonked it on to get an idea of what it'd look like with an extra 6" on the end. It doesn't have enough wood in the long top to bottom direction of the handle to work though there's enough side to side

The draw knife was great at hogging off the wood, but I did run into some bigger chunks of tear-out. This was most likely due to operator error, I believe. A well sharpened draw knife can be something of a finesse tool in skilled hands; I wish I had a set of those hands around here somewhere......
(https://i.imgur.com/b9K6yOj.jpg)
Once things threatened to get out of control, I switched over to a spoke shave. The wood kept flying off and the head now snugs on to the start of the handle. (yes, this means I have my head where my knob should be.)

I don't really get the anatomy, heels and toes near eyes and cheeks. Would make more sense if it was nose and chin?
Unless the eye is of the brown variety? Then cheeks would be maximus... I'll stop now

In hindsight, I think I could have been a bit more aggressive and split my chunk of maple with an axe or big knife first. Probably could have roughly carve the handle with an axe or knife, and then settled into the drawknife and spokeshave to finish.
Nevertheless, I'm enjoying the process, slow as I am. Who knew that fiddling around with Fuzzy's tools could be so much fun for hours on end? :dunno:

After I mess-up this handle, I might try to look for a second piece of Maple or Osage and try to rough carve the handle first, then finish with the delicate tools.
Fortunately, fresh trees are being grown every day. :D

I didn't even have any of my carpentry gear up north - all that's down south, all I had was an old surform I found in the shed and luckily some good quality sandpaper that took up with me.... and lots of knives obviously, but it was the surform that did all the work.

I do have a couple of planes. They might be great, but I've been using the draw knife and spokeshave. The spokeshave seems to be a good choice, but is a bit slow (which isn't a bad thing). I resharpened the spokeshave's blade, but as a result he set up isn't quite as good as I had it before. It's a fiddly little shave, and I can never get it set up the same way twice......

Wait, you're bragging about that puny thing :pok:? tis but a twig compared to my 700mm handle! :twak:
You also had the benefit of having a factory fitted handle to copy, unlike Nix and myself who are starting from nothing! I beg to differ, good sir, that the flatter handle on yours is vastly easier to make than the curved profile you have inflicted upon us! You probably don't have a dog constantly wanting you to throw the ball for him every 5 seconds either? :rant:
:whistle: (all above in jest, of course)
I do have one of those surform rasps but it was easier to use the plane and provided you're going with the grain and not getting tear out, the finish should require no to minimal sanding. My bench vise is also in a bit of a poor spot for access at the moment (ie there's too much smurf on and around my bench! :facepalm:) All up so far I've probably spent about 4 hours total. Hard to say with doggy interruptions!

It's a bit trickier to use an axe head without a handle than I thought. I planned on using the head on it's own during the challenge--a few bonus points for versatility--but we'll see how that goes.
The head arrived with a useful edge, but I have not given it a final sharpening yet.
.....which might have been a good idea to follow through on before trying to use it as a carving tool....... :facepalm:
It's the catch 22, sharpen and use it to help make the handle, but risk more chance of cutting up yourself at the same time, or keep it "blunter" and use dedicated tools. I wonder with the old trade axes if they would poke a temporary stick handle on there to help use the tool more easily until a proper handle is fashioned?

I would like to tell you that my handle is complete.....

But I'm not happy with the final fit and finish.
I got too aggressive with the draw knife and messed up the top section. I think there were some tricky bit of grain up at that end, resulting in tear-out issues, despite trying to use the spokeshave in multiple directions and even skiving with it a bit.
I could live with some of the chip out, but there is a more concerning issue....
While the final handle is functional, there is a gap at the top of the eye (due to that aggressive draw-knife use) that bugs me. Too bad, because the first 3/4 of the handle is rather nice and feels great in hand. And the little bugger did a fine job splitting a log. Still, 'fine' is not quite 'good enough' for this challenge axe. So, it's back to the carving bench......
Live and learn. :facepalm:

Still, it was a good experience and I think I got a good bit of experience from the attempt. I had used that spokeshave in about 12 years or more and feel I am re-learning how to put it to best effect. The tear-out issue continues to worry me, but I think I'll be able to work around that a bit wit the next try.
Good thing we still have 83 days until challenge start..... :rofl:

Day: -83
I would like to tell you that my handle is complete.....Show content
(https://i.imgur.com/iRZMz2t.jpg)Show content
But I'm not happy with the final fit and finish.
I got too aggressive with the draw knife and messed up the top section. I think there were some tricky bit of grain up at that end, resulting in tear-out issues, despite trying to use the spokeshave in multiple directions and even skiving with it a bit.
I could live with some of the chip out, but there is a more concerning issue....
While the final handle is functional, there is a gap at the top of the eye (due to that aggressive draw-knife use) that bugs me. Too bad, because the first 3/4 of the handle is rather nice and feels great in hand. And the little bugger did a fine job splitting a log. Still, 'fine' is not quite 'good enough' for this challenge axe. So, it's back to the carving bench......
Live and learn. :facepalm:
Looks good, shame about the gap, better luck next time :cheers:
I would also like to tell you my handle is complete...... and it kind of is. I just want to bump it another head length up the handle to get the rear part of the eye away from an already existing dip on the top and bottom (a little bit like Nix's problem). Might be visible on some of the photos.
I'm thinking I may even thin it down even more. There's a bit of handle shock when I tested it out on a hard dry piece of wattle

Taz, that handle looks fantastic and looks to be the business too! Great fit n finish at the top there. :hatsoff:... :cheers:
Nix, from the pics, it looks great, nice choppy size too. However, if it's not right, it's not right and it'll bug the hell out of you if don't do what you know you need to do. Just think how smurfing Sweeeet it's going to be when finished... and the all-powerful

Looking good Rob. :tu:This should show it, the slight dip just to the right of the big swell is less than the width of the rest of the handle, and smaller than the dimension of the rear part of the eye. I'm pretty happy it's making good contact there now so will probably lop a little more off the big end, now, and thin the handle slightlyPerhaps the eye is tapered more than the handle?I thought you said there was a gap but I can't see one.

Yes, the edge holds up very well to Aussie gum, just not so well with basalt rock! I need to be careful chopping anything near or on the ground, as the place is full of it just below the surface, but it was quick to get the edge back. I would rather not have had to do it so early on but no lasting harm done :tu:

I plan on making a mask like this before the challenge gets started. I want to be able to carry Lyndax around as much as possible, and a mask is a definite requirement for me.
I like the video, and this guy does some nice clean work. Kuddos to him for that. :hatsoff:
However, since I have never made an axe mask, I'll play internet-guru and feel free to criticize his design a bit:
1. Leather tends to bunch when folded over, so it's a good idea to cut a relief groove or channel along fold lines. Necessary? No. But a good idea. In the end, the flap of his mask tends to flair open, a groove along the flap's fold may have minimized this gap.
...and,
2. The rivets are cool. I haven't decided if I'm going with rivets or a stitched front closure, yet. However....I'm giving this mask grade of C- for having no welt along the front. A welt would protect the edge from the rivets. As the sheath loosens up with time and use, the edge of the axe will end up banging into those rivets. Not good. I plan on keeping my axe sharp--part of the point of a mask--so a welt is, in my opinion, mandatory.
Overall a nice design. I'm going to copy it and use it to make Lyndax a set of leathers. :tu:
Post by: TazzieRob on August 01, 2019, 11:22:03 AM
This style is similar to the one that came with my Husqvarna forest axe, which has no welt, and if I get some new rivets I'll probably put a welt in.

Made a little more progress on the handle for Lyndax. I think I'm happy with where it is now, a little longer than one of my tomahawk handles, and a tad longer than my Council small axe handle. Feels great with one hand and 'alright' with two. I'm leaving it as is today and will revisit it tomorrow. May end up lengthening it a touch, but sometimes "better is the enemy of good." So, I'm sleeping on it. :D

Since the challenge starts tomorrow, I'll need to finish the handle and get Lyndax sharp, too. This is going to be fun!

I had this piece of Tas Oak and thought I might be able to make a shorter handle, but it is split too much inside to finish off.

Thank you to Sparky415's generosity, this will always remain one of my favorite tools and always put a smile on my whenever I see it. It's been a while since the last use, thinking I should sharpen it a bit to make it shaving sharp. Not entirely sure it was a little bit of surface rust, maybe I should clean it up a bit with really fine steel wool...

These are the two main axes I''l be using during the challenge. Vaughan Mini Axe and a Council Tool Saddle Axe.
Looks great! Does the double bit has different angle? It kinda remind me of Nessmuk's setup when I see your axe with the slipjoint. :like:

Excellent start fellas - this really is going to be an interesting and highly enjoyable challenge... It's going to be great! :2tu:
Fuzzaxe is rather inconveniently 600-odd miles away and I can't get to him until the start of next week. So as a stopgap, I've dug out my Bahco hatchet, one of two that I have, but this one lives with me down south (the other up north).
It's an excellent cheap-ish very German looking small axe and all round good choppa... my only criticism is that the steel's a bit soft. As you can see, it could do with a bit of a clean and touch-up on the edge there... Someone must have put it away without making good... :facepalm:
For the purposes of this challenge, I shall name him Fakaxe!

After the dryness of last summer, I have had several eucalyptus trees die on me. This one is close to the fence so thought I'd kick off the challenge with a bang and take it down, with Bruce, of possible. I used him to lop off the branch on the left, then proceeded to make a face cut. Bruce is very easy to swing with his long handle and light head, but is very jarring in this hard dry wood. Once I got to this point, and despite Bruce cutting well, I didn't think id be able to fell it before dark, so I grabbed the Hickory handled 4.5lb Hytest and finished it off. Bruce watch on from the fence and will come back into force limbing the tree. Despite the amount of chopping Bruce has done in hard dry wood, I haven't sharpened him since stubbing his toe those months back\

Sorry, not much use for the axe today, it's been a very long busy hectic day and the only cutting tools employed were my circular saw and chop saw, and both pretty much used to their limit.
However, the axe still came in useful at one point - to prop a door open when I came home so that I could put some tools and materials away... :2tu:

Day: 02
Made a mask for Lyndax today. My first attempt at an axe mask and the results were......mixed.
First, a little design work
(https://i.imgur.com/7LGfs2O.jpg)
I wanted the heel of the blade to hook in and get captured by the mask. This meant I had to be able to insert the bit and rotate it into position with enough clearance to avoid the toe cutting the sheath open. The geometry of the blade made this a bit trickier than I expected.
Obviously I wanted a welt. For added strength at the toe and beard, I thought I'd use some rivets. Normal stitching is all I think is needed for a knife sheath, but for an axe mask I thought a few safety rivets would be a good idea.
Once I had a template, I cut out my leather. Used both Lyndax and a craft knife to cut out my leather.
(https://i.imgur.com/2tKEPLk.jpg)
This might be the wrondg way to go about making a sheath, but I typically leave the welt a bit oversized, glue and stitch everything up, then trim off the excess. This may not have worked as well for me this time.
(https://i.imgur.com/zKcF09L.jpg)
I've never used Pliobond before. The house is fairly chilly (58ºF) and the glue may not have cured very well (or maybe I rushed it....) at this temperature. Anyway the Pliobond worked well enough and merits more testing.
Once the mask was glued together, I stitched up the leading edge. I also marked out where I wanted my rivets. It turned out that I should have given myself a bigger margin, these are just a bit close to the edge. (Plenty of room for the stitching, so that's not an issue.)
(https://i.imgur.com/LYSC74I.jpg)
Lyndax trimming the tab of the retention strap. (I thought I had brass snaps, but all I had was a dark nickel snap. Planning fail #1.)
(https://i.imgur.com/GYTyKAS.jpg)
Final step was to rivet the mask up and then work on the finishing a bit......but my rivets were too short. Planing fail #2. So I used some Chicago screws instead. These had slightly wider posts and heads....and ended up a little closer to the edge than I would have liked.
Here's the mask screwed and stained:
(https://i.imgur.com/QTjuQ5f.jpg)
Despite a little design work, the mask is still pretty tight and a bit tricky to put on. I'm assuming that it will loosen up a bit and wear in. In which case, it might be perfect.
Lessons learned:
1. Design a touch extra space into a mask.
2. Don't rush.
3. Allow ample margins, you can always trim away excess later.
4. Use a glue as directed, and don't keep the house so cold.
5. A little advance planning and preparation might be helpful.
6. Know your materials and what you actually have in a drawer, not just your head.

It's going to be a hot Spring day today, and I'll be heading a couple hours North to our other house that settles sale on Monday.
Quick little chop with Bruce, I used him a while back to cut the dead branch off this tree, the big bit in the left is now dead and will have to come down. There were some branch bits I used Bruce to cut to length. This bit took two one handed blows, but with two hands and the supporting stump block could have been one

While I am going to be trying to primary the SOG Fasthawk its short edge makes it a questionable choice in the kitchen. Enter this un-named Camillus bearded hatchet from the 'XPLORE' gift set they offered a few years ago.
I always thought this thing looked better suited for the kitchen anyway. Now we'll find out.

Use Chip Chop No1 to open a coffee packet for breakfast, despite the axe is paper shaving sharp, I was a little surprise it kept skidding and missing the mark if I were tried to cut from the middle. I end up cut across from the side.

(Day two for me) Mini Bruks involved in some food prep this morning. The cherry tomatos from the garden are almost done for the year. Bruks used to cut a bunch up to maks a bruschetta for lunch.

Cutting chipboard. I tried several different techniques to get to work.
First I tried folding the sheets and pulling it through both single and multiple sheets like a knife blade. This really didn't work.
Then I tried planting the tip of the blade and pulling the sheet through...until one with a big mass of fiber in the middle that caught and tore the sheet in half perpendicular to my cut.
The final one that worked was simply to lay them flat and treat the upper point of the edge as if it were the tip of a utility knife.

Upon closer inspection under sun light, I found a little bit of surface rust on Chip Chop, so out come the steel wool and try to take that away. Chip chop also attended mail duty last night, which had a GEC 29 and Buck Ranger. Thanks to Nix's encouragement, gotta find time to make good with the Ranger.

Nice you'd find a way in the end, with the thickness behind the edge, I would actually be really surprised if an axe is really good at push cutting paper.

Hoping for something more exciting to shot...busy day in town. Grocery shopping one of them. Turned out great! I found some Snap Dragon apples! I remember a someone telling me about them here. Honey Crisp has a contender! The Snap Dragon is a very good tasting apple. And crisp, :drool:

But I did get some progress on the Øyo heirloom hatchet :tu
Removed the old worn out handle, scraped of the paint stains, scotchbrite pad helped remove the worst rust spots without ruining the decades old patina :cheers:
The small knife is one I put together and shaped the handle of in about 15-20 minutes, not counting epoxy curing time.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191004/bd30ad6117cff19ca7ed6d83d3299b7e.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191004/420c5221edf4324f1ebb2f79c35314ad.jpg)

I don't have enough experience to comment on that except linseed oil worked for me, but I had been having a blast with Obenauf's, for everything from leather to wood handle. Love that stuff, easy to apply and multi usage.

I thought about the edge, geometry and construction of different axes when I was sharpening mine on a worksharp(the belt attachment is a God send, though probably no comparison to a real belt grinder). Traditionally, we see many axes come with convex grind, but some modern axe, like the Gerber/Fiskars, would do really well with a simple straight wedge shape and are very forgiving with almost unbreakable handle.
Maybe modern tech is changing how we look at the relationship between those edge/geometry/construction? I know with all the 'super' steel, we can now afford to have super thin slicer knife, while not to worry about it chipping/rolling too easy.

After driving over 200km to unload some shed stuff from my other house, a quick split was attempted. I'll have to try on a straighter, more seasoned piece because this bit was a Smurf. Then back in the car for the 200km return trip

Day 4
Upon closer inspection under sun light, I found a little bit of surface rust on Chip Chop, so out come the steel wool and try to take that away. Chip chop also attended mail duty last night, which had a GEC 29 and Buck Ranger. Thanks to Nix's encouragement, gotta find time to make good with the Ranger.

Just guessing but you are using the regular SOG Tomahawk arent you?
This little one is called the Fasthawk. The head on mine is also a bit smaller too.
Here are a couple randomly Google Images that show both together.
one is from the NRA store and one is from Pinterest

Chip Chop No1 helps with the coffee packet, I used to think axe is not too easy to get push cut sharp, but I take that back. It's almost push-cut sharp on this one now. I gonna find something more to chop for real soon!

Went for a short walk and played with saddle axe. Found a small down cottonwood tree. after peeling off the bark I used both bits to make shavings.The saddle axe is a general purpose axe and cant be expected to perform like a dedicated wood craft axe. Even tho it has 25 degree and 32 degree bits. It is still a general purpose axe. It did well enough for me that I'm satisfied with its performance in this little test.

Making some soup for supper this evening. Lyndax sliced up an onion. I split the onion in half, first. This was more of 'split' than a 'cut'. However, once halved, she sliced like a pro:

A little later, some tofu got added. Some people, and I'm not singling out Fuzzy here, think that tofu isn't very 'manly'. But when cut up with an axe, I think it has a certain machismo.

Pine is not native to my area (though there are endemic species of pines in Tasmania), so most pines you find are planted/plantation Pinus Radiata or "Monterey" pines.

Went for a short walk and played with saddle axe. Found a small down cottonwood tree. after peeling off the bark I used both bits to make shavings.The saddle axe is a general purpose axe and cant be expected to perform like a dedicated wood craft axe. Even tho it has 25 degree and 32 degree bits. It is still a general purpose axe. It did well enough for me that I'm satisfied with its performance in this little test.
Looks like a good time! The axe looks sharp! Is it visibly easy to tell which side of the axe is 25 vs 32 deg?

Day: 06 (bonus material)
Making some soup for supper this evening. Lyndax sliced up an onion. I split the onion in half, first. This was more of 'split' than a 'cut'. However, once halved, she sliced like a pro:

A little later, some tofu got added. Some people, and I'm not singling out Fuzzy here, think that tofu isn't very 'manly'. But when cut up with an axe, I think it has a certain machismo.

I have tofu in stir-fries, adding soy sauce to it is mandatory for me. (And sometimes a little ginger)

A little bucking, then you can see why this wood is hard to split. The bark gives it away but it is twisted grain

Thanks Fuzzy. I believe it is spotted gum... aaand, I'm not happy with the handle. It isn't tight enough in the up and down. I'm not sure if a split was there or if I caused it but a small chunk came off in the bottom of the eye. I also think I took too much off at the back of the eye. It is possible that there is just too much leverage with this long a handle that the short eye just can't deal with. I'm going to make another handle, just not sure I'll get it done during the challenge now due to the vast amount of tidying I have to do in my shed to get to my bench after hastily moving the rest of my junk from the other house :facepalm:

Ray, your apple looks like my earlier onion: split not sliced. Did you slice it up further after the initial split? :think:Yes it was quartered. This is the first time I have found the Snap Dragon apples and the core is so small, kinda like what you find on some pears. But boy do they taste great! :drool:

Good and compassionate use!
Hope your Achilles tendon is not hurting too bad, maybe some insoles could help ease the pain? I sworn by the Superfeet blue insoles where a lot of thru hikers used to use.
I injured my ankle during a hike sometime last year, at first I didn't think much of it, but it literally took me couple months to fully heal. I used to heal like a Wolverine, but nowadays the healing time was so slow that was ridiculous. The moral of the story is not to get hurt in the first place.

No use...but learned a new trick.
I was watching Townsend's Youtube channel build a 1700s log homestead. Now his idea for this isnt a final cabin but the 1st temporary home a settler would build to last a few years while establishing a homestead. Because of this there are no surviving examples and few detailes; so its an experiment.
Here is his video with a lot of good axe work
https://youtu.be/UlVENzhq_Xw
Now while watching this I noticed he was using the ballance point of a strait hafted axe to act as a visual level and verify the straightness of the walls. Since I was hanging floating shelves they made a great refrence to test this.
I used a coustom tomahawk made by an old friend. The handle is just a rough chunk of 1×2 oak I rounded off and stuck on it. I picked this one to test because of that straight oak handle.

How thick do you think the leather needs to be in order to make a good mask? I think I might follow suit and attempt to make one.

And look at that snow! Must be beautiful!
This mask got made with fairly thick leather (7-8oz, typical for a knife sheath. I guess some people prefer 8-9oz.). Really it's the welt that protects the edge (and you from the edge), so I think you could use thinner material as long as you use a sturdy bit of material for the welt. (And I added those Chicago screws for a little extra protection.)
For overall durability and protection, I'd go with a stout leather (like I did). I know not everyone uses a weight system to measure the leather, my 3 layers (side, welt, opposite side) measure about 7/16" at the edge (compressed).

Anyway, using just the axe head, this was a quick and easy task. I did notice that the edge is no longer shaving sharp. It slices paper and cuts hair, but no longer shaves. So tomorrow might see a little sharpening time.

I'm a bit envious of you guys that can take your axes into the kitchen and do food prep with them, if i tried that with any of my rusty relics i would end up with a tetanus sandwich or if my other half caught me she would take it off me and ram it up my jacksy, so i thought i would make my own kitchen friendly axe :tu:
My all time favourite hatchet is the Karesuando mini hunters axe ..
(https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48875485733_7c1c533b6c_z.jpg)
Not really for chopping firewood, it's a hunters axe so more for chopping meat and skinning beasts and occasional branch i think but a more beautiful axe you are not likely to find, i have wanted one for quite some time but they are very expensive and i have other things sucking my money at the moment so what to do? Well, as it's Choptober i figured i would have a go at modding my own version :cheers:

Just needs a final polishing and it should slice and dice with the best of them :tu:
Of course with most things i make it will evolve, i might grind off the poll a bit and thin out the handle a bit more but its a good start

Got stuck into things today with Fuzzaxe. First I sorted out the firewood and stacked it...
(http://u.cubeupload.com/Fuzzbucket/8AF4AEB0A2F0454A9DFC.jpeg)
Then after that I began the process of making kindling out of old window frames. it's going to take a few days to get through it all, but it'll provide enough kindling for the whole winter... probably.
(http://u.cubeupload.com/Fuzzbucket/AA039AD26F0D4F7DBFF0.jpeg)
However... after I chopped up the first lot I noticed a brad I'd failed to remove beforehand and I thought to myself, I bet I've hit that... and...

It is if you like crosscut saws. Lots of good info. Crosscut Saw Manual by Warren Milller put out by the Forest Service in 1978 which are hard to find and can be pricey. I found this at a reasonable price several years ago.

Used Lyndax to break into a box of Kandy Kakes. Anyone who has had these will know that they are far superior to Jaffa cakes, instilling a savage appetite and a willingness to use an axe to liberate them for consumption.

I almost missed this one, its been a long day.
So today we will just look at a Fiskars/Gerber axe.
The origonal Gerber axe and its Fiskars counterpart were released in 3 sizes; camp (lg), sport (med) and pack (hatchet).
This is the medium size or Sport as it would be called if it were Gerber labled.
Because this is the Fiskars this axe origonaly came with a hard molded mask/hanger that used a hinged retention strap and was meant to be bolted to a wall instead of a normal mask/sheath. This holder and the handle paint/logo are the only diffrence in these early axes.
One thing to note on the origonals is the way the handle molding sits up from the blade, while the blade is flat. This spot takes a beating and there was a chance for splinters/chips to wedge themselves in between during use, especially while splitting. The questionable wear issue was fixed in the 4th model released; the xl/splitting axe, in which the head flaired out past the handle molding to protect it. The flaired head would become common in all later production.
This axe was my truck axe from '02-'10. As far as use it was packed for about a dozen camping trips along with some light splitting at bonfires and gathering in that time.

I thought that Gerber brand were still doing the chopping axes in different sizes, but Fiskars only has the splitting axes other than the X7 :dunno:

I am not up on the current models...but when they started the axe line they had 3 that were the same for both plus the Gator hatchet w/the knife in the handle.

I agree, Fuzzy, a very nice companion axe so far. I feel I need to get out and do a bit more wood processing, but at the moment Lyndax is deemed to be a gem.
How'd you sharpen yer axe? File? Stone? Sandpaper? Drug behind the car for a dozen miles? :think:
Grandpa Nix favored a file followed by a stone. I've been converted to a sandpaper/stone system. (Sounds more impressive if'n you call it a 'system'.)

I did use the SOG to cut down some more chipboard but we've already seen that...So I zipped off the top of a pack of freeze-dried strawberries.
Normally I eat these strait as a snack but if you're eating on the road you can also add these to hot or cold cereals, yogurts, and desserts too.

That probably is a better way to do it rather than just using a stone, especially if you're precious about the stone. Although, the stone managed the job in no time at all and as you can see from the pics there was some pretty nasty nicks. I'm tempted to get a puck stone - anybody had any experience with one of these?

I have 2 pucks. One old one I found at a refuse shop, and a Lansky. The Lansky is more aggressive as it hasn't been used much and isn't clogged up with oil. I usually just use a bit o' spit on it

As you can see Fuzzaxe has next to no poll, despite this shortcoming he is immensely good at smacking things and makes a very good hammer - I was able to knock apart those window frames with little or no bother and with no need for additional tools.
Also there's something, for me anyway, extremely satisfying about belting things with the back of an axe. So, with that in mind, I invite you all to... show us your polls! :ahhh

I cheated today......
(https://i.imgur.com/BUYSyPY.jpg)
While I was at the gun range today, my earplugs broke, leaving the green baffles inside my ear canal. (Not seen in the picture, there are usually two ends to these earplugs: a green full silence end and a yellow end that lets some noise in. When I tried to pull these plugs out, BOTH of the yellow ends came off, leaving the green bits stuck in me ear canals!)
Back in the truck, I couldn't figure out how to use Lyndax to remove just the earplugs, so I resorted to using a Leatherman ST300 to reach into my ears and remove the plugs. This is an unanticipated shortcoming of the axe. Live and learn, I suppose.......

Well spotted, Fuzzy.
And I'm always leery of whacking things with an axe's poll. Not all are able to take the impact. And if the poll is able, the cheeks may not be. I'll use a poll to drive a tent stake, but that's pretty much it.

I brought Bruce to work today. His edge was threatening to slice me up so I wrapped him in electrical tape.
I think one of the reasons for excessive up and down head movement is a hump in the bottom of the eye. I'm in the process of filing it out and tidying up some sharp corners. My hope is that I'll get more head to handle contact all around. This may mean my current handle will no longer fit but if it does I might shorten it and make the hickory the long one. If it doesn't fit then too bad, I guess!

Nice photos showing the fix. I think I have a coldsteel tomahawk somewhere, and remembered it used to get loosen from time to time. Maybe it was a similar reason, or the sharp edges are digging into the handle too much. I gonna look that up sometime, good call!

Cant believe the axe challenge is half over already. I found a little project I thought the poll of Mini Axe could handle. Couple of nails had worked up and needed pounded back down.

I used a little sandpaper to smooth out some of Lyndax's rough edges in the eye. I think it helped. :dunno:
I bet it did :tu:
Makes sense, good fix :tu:
I considered doing it before and probably paid for it but I didn't think it was going to cause me any issues
Nice photos showing the fix. I think I have a coldsteel tomahawk somewhere, and remembered it used to get loosen from time to time. Maybe it was a similar reason, or the sharp edges are digging into the handle too much. I gonna look that up sometime, good call!
One of the other problems is the split out chunk on the outside bottom section of the handle. When I hit the handle on the end to seat the head, the inertia of the bit means that it wants to rotate out in the toe direction. So it ends up with a gap at the outside top and inside bottom. Hope that makes sense?

The good news is, the handle still looks like it will fit ok, and there is still a bit more to play with. I'm pretty confident I'll be making this my shorter handle to reduce the stress on it

How long is that handle length? :cheers:
I actually measured it last night, 750mm, so 300mm longer than factory. I'm going to chop it down to 450. Interestingly, the stock handle for Fuzzaxe is 620mm, which has the same 400g mass head, but it is different geometry so don't really know the justification from Rinaldi on that one. Also, Lyndaxe is the same American pattern as Bruce but is 500g and comes with the same 450mm handle stock

Making some chips? Better that your friend is recovering and nice of you to visit. A work mate just lost a good friend of his last week to cancer, 4 weeks after diagnosis. Makes you appreciate a lot of things when you hear something like that

Had a similar problem today trying to get a new handle on a big axe, it was a fight and i couldn't understand why, till i looked down the eye..

Crap picture but there's a thick ridge of steel on the right stopping the handle, the only explanation i have is it has been welded at some point with the handle on and the weld has bled through the wood then it's all rotted out :dunno: i don't have a grinder that small so back to the end of the queue with that one till i can be arsed filing it

Whilst cleaning up in my shed moving stuff around I knocked over the shelf I had my Lansky puck sitting on like a smurfing Smurf and it hit something hard and split in two.
They must use some sort of glue to stick the two grits together so wondering what I should try. Any thoughts, guys?

Right... I know I said I was going to experiment a bit using solely the axehead as a woodworking tool. Well... I didn't, I did something else instead.
The veg patch up here was starting to get quite badly overshadowed by trees, an ash and sycamore in particular, and I'm pretty sure it's impacted detrimentally on the quality of veg this year. So, I decided to remove the boughs that were the worst offenders and open it up a bit whilst hopefully not spoiling the trees too much.
Now to do this I just removed limbs in sections using a 12' pole saw, being careful not to hospitalise myself in the process, and it was an easy enough job. But now I've got about a dozen or so bough sections the size of a small tree that need to be chopped up, sorted and stored on the stick pile for next year's winter. What would be an ideal tool to do this?... FUZZAXE!!! :ahhh... runs off like a small ungainly child to fetch it...
I fitted the longer handle to Fuzzaxe for the job so I could get a really good snap to my blows and he worked SPLENDIDLY breaking them down. It was a hugely enjoyable and satisfying process cleanly severing inch thick limbs with a single glance of the axe.
Anyway, the pics...

No use today, but I found another project axe I have lying around :tu:
Now I just need a couple of handles and give them a new edge.
Would the bigger one work with a straight sledgehammer handle? Any thoughts would be much aprecciated :cheers:
And the smaller one I might get a handle that is too big and shape it to fit

Actually, where is your balance point on Lyndax? Bruce's was maybe 20cm/8" back on the longer handle, now maybe 10cm/4" with the shorter handle. I'd think with the heavier head, yours would have a closer balance point with the same length handle than mine
Post by: TazzieRob on October 18, 2019, 01:01:12 AM
On my new handle, I'm going to have to watch very carefully when I get to the meaty end, I was trying to correct the alignment of the edge to the end of the handle, but didn't notice I'd rotated slightly one way.
Another of my dead trees after last summer. I was able to push this one over after Bruce took some limbs off

Plenty going on just none of it axe related.
So the pic is just the SOG resting under a pine tree.
How about a story of what happened to me last night.
Lets start with the setting; my laundry closet is not actually in my home but rather attached to a screened in porch. For the last few weeks I have noticed a spiderweb stretching across in front of the washer over into the little bit of storage I have in there, but never paid it much mind. So I go out tonight in bare feet as always and decide I dont want to step in it like I always do, so I turn the other light on...
There she is.
First I see those long black legs and I know this isnt the normal spiders I deal with.
Out comes my flashlight.
Black body.
Bright red blotch on the belly...
Yep, I have been rolling the dice for probably 3 weeks now walking barefoot through a Black Widdow nest...

Mainly just doing some maintenance on the sheath of my Estwing and HB. I highly recommend the Obenauf's LP which did a fantastic job restoring/conditioning the leather sheath. And I also just got the Obenauf's leather oil and tested on these sheaths, as predicted, it penetrate deeper into the leather with its higher oil content but will strongly deepen the color of the leather. Obenauf's LP will also deepen the color as well, but generally speaking the color may lighten back again after 1 week. But not too sure whether the leather oil will have the same effect with the color, but still am really please with how soft is the leather now after the application.

Lyndax is balance fairly close to the head. Maybe 5cm along the handle. Definitely leads with the head, not the heartwood.
After being in the rain for a little bit, the handle needs to be smoothed and oiled again.

I'm with Nix, it does look a bit slack, it's possible that the wedge will split the handle below the kerf when it's battered in, try bringing the head down the haft a bit till you get a nice snug fit, hopefully you have enough room and it's got enough taper :tu:

A cool and breezy day today, but I took the opportunity to get out for a nice hike. Haven't been out for a good hike in a couple weeks--it was great to get out!
I was using a small daypack, a bit small for leggy Lyndax. So her head went into the bag (with mask), and haft went into an outside pocket.
(https://i.imgur.com/JPGvTle.jpg)
This worked quite nicely.
Since it was a cool day, I brought along my little wood-fired stove and some tea fixings.
It's been raining (and snowing) on and off for a few days, and much of the wood on the ground was damp. Lyndax got used to collect some dry wood from dead branches sticking up in the air.
(https://i.imgur.com/uuE5xD5.jpg)
To make some tinder and kindling, I sank Lyndax's toe in a downed log, then pulled bits of split wood down along the edge to generate fine curls and shavings.
(https://i.imgur.com/exSQZEm.jpg)
This worked really well. Forgot my bandana, so collected shaving and kindling in my hat......
(https://i.imgur.com/2no2oEE.jpg)
When I had collected enough, I loaded the stove up, set it up in the lee of a rock outcropping, and used the ferro rod in the above photo to spark up a fire. Lyndax is mostly curvy and smooth, so I had to use her primary edge to spark the ferro rod. Worked like a champ, but did roll a slight burr. I hate to use my primary tool's working edge to spark a fire, but it was an emergency (well, it was lunch time any way.).
(https://i.imgur.com/4SzoL6N.jpg)
It was a fantastic day to sit outside, admire the view, sip hot tea and eat a bit of trail mix. I brought along some of these Copper Cow Creamer packets.

These things are outstanding and definitely worth their weight. They are made in California, so they must not cause cancer. Makes delicious campfire tea.
My target for the hike was to climb this hill (they call it a 'mountain', but if you've been to Colorado you know it's a 'hill'.).
(https://i.imgur.com/YdpTgmi.jpg)
Energized with hot tea and lunch, it seemed like an easy hike.
Then I noticed this coming up behind me......

Sure enough, as I got to the summit I got caught in a proper snow squall. I was warm enough that my jacket was in my pack and I was just in a t-shirt and hiking pants (trousers in the UK, I suppose). With the wind and snow, I quickly became cold and started to move a bit more quickly to warm up! The squall was brief; I think it got hung up on the west side of the
Great hike and Lyndax was a champion companion, performing very well. A bit heavier than a large knife, but she may have offered a bit of an advantage in the wood-collection job. :tu:

Haha ok, seen them before and wondered if they were something famous :tu:The axe head has the largest eye I have ever seen, and that was the largest handle I could find localy so I'll take the advise of you wiser axemen and give it a try shaping it, but first I need to get the head off the handle :rofl:
I'm with Nix, it does look a bit slack, it's possible that the wedge will split the handle below the kerf when it's battered in, try bringing the head down the haft a bit till you get a nice snug fit, hopefully you have enough room and it's got enough taper :tu:
And it appears to have been used as a sledgehammer so it is a bit deformed in one place, hopefully it wont matter to much.

Today we're going to be taking a look at the axe multi-tool.
This particular example is the Stanley version although they are made in a ton of different labels add configurations. In truth I've never seen one actually sharp enough to call an axe or even to cut for that matter. Usually these are chunky and dull along the lines of crate openers; I have a feeling that's more they intended use.
The handle packs a saw, file w/ flat tip screwdriver, small Phillips w/ bottle opener, and a knife that is questionable at best. The whole thing is made out of 'high-grade' mystery steel, with plastic handle scales.
So now the question is what use is it? what have I been able to accomplish with it?
I have used this thing a few times usually in its function as a crate opener. That flat hammerhead is perfect for driving small tacks. The chunky thick dull axe blade is actually handy as a wedge when you need something thicker than a molding bar but smaller than a full size crowbar.
Also a pic inside my EDC duffel

Axe vs Coconut Part 2, used the Estwing to chop open a young coconut.
Estwing obviously has a more acute angle than some of my other axes, and it chopped like a cleaver more than an axe. Didn't want to wake up the little guy fast asleep, so had to chop as quietly as possible, took a few extra chop than I wanted to, but luckily got it done nonetheless.

Cute wedge! :D I think I used to have one similar like that, but with even crappier tools combination. The handle is so short that even the axe is sharp, it probably won't have enough momentum to 'chop' anything. But I think using it as a wedge might not be a bad idea, and might bring some residue value to this tool.

Used the saddle axe to get some chocolate to enjoy. To answer the question before its asked. No I didnt whale away at it like a madman. No chopping was necessary. :D

I'm never surprised when an enemy, even chocolate, crumbles when faced with an axe..... ;)

Yeah.....you knew it was coming..... Chicken Day!
For me no challenge is complete without using the challenge tool to break down a chicken. Lyndax had her chance today.
(https://i.imgur.com/U2862U7.jpg)
I used Lyndax like an Ulu, which allowed for some fairly nifty cuts. Here she has made a curving slice to liberate the 'oyster' and leave it attached to the thigh. Well done!
(https://i.imgur.com/ApkgWq0.jpg)
She's not much of slicer. Can slice, yes, but better at cutting and chopping (in a slow controlled manner, in this case). Regardless, Lyndax pieced out the chicken nicely.
(https://i.imgur.com/T5bMQJi.jpg)
The chicken got dressed with salt, pepper, and za'atar. Then it was onto the grill......
(https://i.imgur.com/n0WYXyq.jpg)
The chicken was great. I was a bit surprised that Lyndax lost her edge during the process. Beforehand, I tested the edge and she was slicing paper like a proper knife. Afterward, slicing paper was not consistent and there was some tearing. During the chicken breakdown, I did press the edge through skin and meat and into the cutting board. Perhaps this little bit of pressure was enough to roll the egde. :dunno:
A brief stropping (after cleaning) brought the edge back, but not to pre-chicken cutting sharpness. So, tomorrow will see a bit more sharpening. :tu:

Today we get to see my first tacticool axe this one is an unbranded (most likely United Cutlery) copy of the LaGana Vietnam tomahawk. About 10years ago I used a rotary tool to lengthen out the eye little bit so that it will accept standard hammer handles instead of the round ball peen type. It is currently fitted with a 14-inch Vaughan framing handle which still. took a little bit of shaving to fit. I jokingly say this thing is more of a weird shaped club as the steel is too soft to actually hold an edge and the grind on it is too chunky to be made into a cutter without major work.
Sitting next to it is technically another type of knife/axe this is an Aranyk Etoh made in Thailand. This particular blade falls somewhere between a extra heavy cleaver and a Froe (aka shake axe/ paling knife) with an intended uses of universal heavy chopper but a focus on wood cutting and splitting. If falls in that weird "is it a knife or an axe" category that a lot of kindleing froes, heavy cleavers and two handed hog splitters wind up in.
This blade was my preferred fireplace splitter last I had one. The Etoh is no light blade either; it is a full 1/4in thick the whole way, convex ground, and weighs around 2 1/2 pounds. I have also seen people mount these on longer 2-hand handles. In the end I guess it's classification just ends up on being who's using it and for what.

Surprised that the cutting board would roll your blade edge.

I'm not sure what the Rinaldi is made from. I think most axes are left soft to be able to handle impact shock and avoid chipping. So a little edge deformation isn't too surprising, although.... it didn't take me more than a couple of minutes work.
WHe I was carving wood the other day, the edge seemed to hold up just fine. But, of course, my observations are fairly subjective. :dunno:

Thanks comis :tu:
Thought i would give all you axe men a health and safety refresher, taken from a 1965 Forestry Commission safety book i found many years ago, not much about axes in it but i thought these two pages would be worth a pic, it's a nice little book done with humour, and lots of blood in the cartoons..pretty grim really but fun with it, i guess the object was to scare them into doing things safely and make them laugh at the same time :tu:

Kinda curious about this too, I would think most kitchen knife aren't that high on Rc, but I could be wrong. I know Axe edge usually is much lower in the scale, but I'd think it should still be sufficiently ok otherwise it won't hold its edge with all the wood work. Is the Rinaldi made of some kind fiberglass?

Made some progress on the fit, but I'm starting to wonder if the handle is to slim for the eye anyway. But it was a bit of PIA to get the head of again so the fit lenght wise is very good :tu:(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191019/b191154f8266680b90a948eacddb4d0f.jpg)

You don't have much to play with there but if it was very tight at that point and you struggled to get the head off i would be tempted to just go for it and give it a try, i don't have it to hand though so it's hard to say, just go with what you feel :tu: nice wedge as long as the eye and stick a couple of cross wedges in, no gaps at the base of the head i presume? just be canny with it till you can trust it fully, nice axe btw, don't worry about cosmetics :tu:

Only a bit of a scar but the puck is one again. Bruce still had a very small nick in the blade that may be able to be seen as causing a line in the cut in the first pic. 5-10 minutes with the puck and he's cutting clean again. The puck is still rougher than the diamond stones and doesn't strop out all the scratch marks, but it is pretty quick and I only used the fine side

Don't saw it all off, leave about 5-10mm so that it mushrooms over the edge a little. It helps to hold it on.Sorry, that sounded like an order. :-[
I meant that's what I would do. ;)

I was stropping some of my knives, and figured I should give some TLC to Chip Chop as well. Strop is definitely an essential part of my sharpening and repairing tool, don't know I'm gonna do without it.

Day 20 photos
Well, strong winds and all that rain broke one of the branches and it made for a clean up day. Was like 10 or 12 yards long.
Great job of that!
Post by: comis on October 21, 2019, 12:16:43 PM
Oooh, that looks tasty!
How about sharing a few of the recipe details...... :pok:
For sure! I knew if anyone gonna ask, it's gonna be Chef Nix! :D
Here are some ingredients:
For a big bowl of noodles(roughly enough for two, or one hungry man):
Egg noodle (about 1/2 bowl)
Mince pork (1 to 1.5 cup)
Diced Shiitake mushroom (1/2 cup)
Chopped Dried sea scallop/dried shrimp (1/4 cup, mostly for taste, can be found in Chinatown or Asian grocery store, but can do without or used frozen shrimp)
Green onion (1/5 cup)
Parsley (1/5 cup)
Deep fried red onion/shallots (2/5 cup, can also be gotten in Asian grocery store)
Seasoning:
Fish sauce
Sesame oil
White pepper
Salt
Oyster sauce
Sugar
1) Prep the Shiitake mushroom. If you've gotten them dried kind, it needs to be put in water to be 'rehydrated'. Once diced, stir fried with tiny bit of oyster sauce and sugar to give some flavor.
2) Prep the dried sea scallop/dried shrimp, some dried sea scallop needs to be soaked overnight. Dried shrimp is easier, just soaked in warm water before cooking it. If you want, using deep fried shrimp could also be a great alternative.
3) Deep fried some shallot till deep brown crispy, or best yet, get it from a store in a bottle
4) Sitr fried together the Miced pork with 1/2/3 above with sesame oil/salt and tiny bit of fish sauce.
5) Cooked the egg noodle and rinse dry
6) Stir fry everything together with veg oil/sesame oil, once finished, sprinkle as much chopped spring onion/parsley/deep fried shallot as you want on top, add in a tiny bit of fish sauce if you need more seasoning.
I really like the mined pork recipe here, really versatile, you could frozen it for later use, and it's an interesting alternative for taco/nan, or probably can use it for fried rice with eggs.
Deep fried shallot in a bottle, just so random pix I got online, but this is the soul of this whole recipe and adds mojo to everything you put it on... :tu:

I have a puck from Gransfors, and though the appearance looks similar to the Lansky, I think it felt more like fine and medium; it actually works well for knife repair, but probably work a little slow for axe repair.
It'd be nice to have a something of both world, maybe instead of knife use, Fällkniven DC4 would be a better axe sharpener...

If it was me trying to fit that handle, I'd remove excess from the top to get the length of the handle in the eye. If material was taken it from the bottom the handle will be very lop sided and the continuity of grain will be more compromised. Also then thinning it down will make the proportions a bit better :tu:

Actually, Borg, it was withdrawn after a class action lawsuit. Several people injured themselves with the Axplorer because the weight of the ax head lead to that particular blade opening up under the force of gravity. My sister* lopped the top of her right index finger off when using the Axplorer (a design suited for right handed people, but less so for lefties). Sadly my sister* did not qualify for the class action lawsuit because her injury was not related to the spontaneous opening issue. As a result she ended up quitting her pursuit of a carrer as a pianist and took up the drums. A decision we all regretted.....

The benefit of a smaller handle is it would be less work to get the head on it, but I'm sure you can make it work and it will be a good exercise in hanging :cheers:

Fuzzaxe Day 22Great use. :tu:
Did a bit of tidying up in the garden this afternoon, especially in the veg patch, increased my carbon footprint considerably in the process. I'm expecting an imminent visit from Extinction Rebellion, they'll probably superglue themselves to my gate or something now... it's alright I've got an axe...

What's green and shaped like a stick...a very green stick.
No clue what kind of wood that my wife wants to use it for a project so going to be scraping some bark. (It was saw cut)
And a second pic for today
I specifically ordered my breakfast uncut just so I could use the sog.
An Italian sub with pineapple and jalapeno added.

Yes in the smaller branches.
After a little looking you might be right. I found out box elder is apparently common around here. Plant, tree and wood identification are skills I have never had much luck in developing.

Some TLC is long overdued for my Fasthawk, and use the rust eraser/steel wool to take care the little rust spots developed, then I tried to use the GB axe sharpener and Spyderco double stuff to bring it back to sharpness.
Those two sharpeners are pretty reliable for all my field sharpening needs, but for whatever reason just don't seem to get it sharp even confirmed with the marker method. The little axe probably was never sharpen properly to begin with, so out come the worksharp electric sander and finish with some stropping.

Right... today I got my arse in gear and made a mask for Fuzzaxe.
I really like the design and style of Nixies one and indeed the finish :hatsoff:, but I wanted to try something a bit different. This was also out of necessity too, as all my leather working bits n bobs including my speady-stitcher are down south - all I had to work with here was a bit of leather, some rivets and some poppers... and lots of knives and sharp things too of course. So I needed to come up with a pretty simple economical design with as few component parts as possible and this is what I came up with... One single piece of leather with just one single fixing.

I'm quite happy with it really, the fit n finish could be a bit better, but considering the lack of tools (especially a suitable bevel cutter) it's not a bad wee jobbie! :2tu:

More slow cooker cooking.
Where I grew up we had plenty of old school diners but no smokehouses so I grew up with that style of roasted BBQ
DinerQ
4lb Chuck roast (works well with pork too)
2 14oz bottles of good BBQ sauce (Stubbs works well, today I used H-E-B Texas style)
6-12oz of cola, root beer, or DrPepper
* all measurements approximate, just eyeball it
Mix it all up and cook it like you would pot roast. Since I'm using a slow cooker that's low for 6 to 8 hours depending on how far apart do you want it.
As it cooks the roast will want to start to float so you may want flip it about two-thirds of the way through to keep it from drying out on the exposed side.
And yes you will end up with far more sauce then you will ever need in serving it.
Part of the beauty of this recipe is it's simple enough that you can scale it up or down really easy depending on whether or not you're using a roaster a Crock-Pot or just baking it in the oven. Since I use a Crock-Pot I prefer to have my meat submerged in the barbecue which is entirely unnecessary if you say baking in the oven were you use a shorter time and ladle basting it every so often
Pics
1 Opening the beef
2 Buried in sauce before cooking ( this thick sauce will cook down into almost a broth
3 Prepping potatoes

I can think of three uses for the saw (Victorinox saw in mind here)
1. A saw
2. A scraper (if it has a sharp spine)/ ferro rod striker
3. A drill for green wood
4. Tinder refiner

there were already some suggestions on how to use saws. but we can also split wood by using them, process game to a degree (a knife, or even a sharp rock are still needed, at least in my mind), they can allow us to make other tools, plus a frame saw can be used for bow in the bow drill fire

I always find it kinda fascinating how sometimes patches of a tree will turn completely red while the other part might remain green and yellow, and I kinda wonder maybe it was due to more cool air or drafty over one side than the other.

It was a frosty morning here, so took the opportunity to have a wee wander about in all the beautiful new crispness. Fuzzaxe came with me... of course.
(http://u.cubeupload.com/Fuzzbucket/C918BEA7835148DEBCE8.jpeg)
I'd noticed a little bit of oxidation, well rust, on Fuzzaxe's bit, there must've been a little bit of residual water still retained in the new mask I made. So I employed a rather novel Highland way to dry it out a bit more before giving the interior a waxing.

After a morning in town and an afternoon of mowing, I used Bruce to clear some lower limbs from this apple tree. Not the best tool for the job and I don't know what sort of apple it is. It has multiple trunks and the previous owner had placed a tyre at the base but never took it off or put a cut in it so it could be taken off when the tree got big enough. I need to give it a serious prune and probably reduce the number of trunks, or at least get rid of the limbs crossing through the middle and take some height put of it.

Yes, that's the veg patch that borders the main garden - it's a bit of a mess at the moment, but mainly because of the time of year - it looked lovely in June.

Grabbed another quick sunset pic when I stopped for gas. It would have looked cooler if I had taken the 5 Seconds to take the sheath off...or if I didn't have buildings in the background.
I heard a rumor they're building a whole new shopping center and mall somewhere around here. I think judging by the early construction of secondary buildings and a theater that it's going to be this field

Nice use and can’t wait to see the scales on the knives! :cheers: :popcorn:
Day 28b (off-topic)
Oh, almost forgotten to post, I got this scales for the BK24 couple days ago, and really do like them. The original skeleton knife is a 3-3.5 fingers hold, but it didn't feel very 'solid'. But with these scales, it fill up the hand better and feel more usable. The cost a pretty penny compared to knife cost, but at least now I can utilize the knife more.

Just think of the knife as being a 'custom' and the price of the scales rolled into the whole. ;)

Yes, it's all drystone up here or stone dyke as they're known and I'm very fond of them. So much so actually, that I've affectionately named each and every one of them... after famous female vocalists. Just for you Tazzie, here's a selection (cue music):

Tremendous snow storm today. Not much accumulation because the wind was howling like a tormented fiend. Temps started out around 25ºF (-4ºC) and just fell all day. Now around 13ºF (-10.5ºC). Feels like Winter!
No gratuitous snow shots today--I feel I've done that enough. However, Lyndax was pressed into service slicing onions for lunch (Brats and fried onions):

Total fire ban day and it isn't even summer. This afternoon two uncontrolled bush fires have come up, this one back towards my work to the West, and another to the North West of us. Very windy and it was blowing lots of smoke over the mountain to the city.
Not a threat to us thankfully but plenty of work mates much closer to danger.

Made some curls with Chip Chop No.1 today as I reflect on this challenge.
Lately I have been obsessed with updating some of my fixed blades, and had been thinking a lot about more traditional patterns such as Kephart and Nessmuk. While in search for these knives, I also thought about what could be my "Nessmuk trio"(axe, pocket knife and fixed blade). These three could very well be my choices.
And you know how many youtube reviewers would often favor a 5"+ stout fixed blade for the outdoor 'one tool option', where people could use that for everything, even batoning or chopping. But if I were to have the pick, I probably would pick my axe (or a tomahawk) as my 'one tool option'. It's far more efficient for the heavy duty stuff, and multi task just as well as a good cutting tool.
Thank you for this wonderful challenge, Axe is a tool I rarely got to use in a total urban setting, but I am glad to have the opportunity to partake in this challenge, which allow me more chances to get familiar with them. It's always fun to watch many skilled axe users putting them in good use, want to congratulate everyone on a challenge well done! :hatsoff: :cheers:

I think Nessmuck was on to something there...... :tu:
This challenge has been interesting in that the axe proven to be a better "one tool option" than I thought it would. By no means perfect, but the range of tasks it could manage adequately was pretty impressive.
I find a knife (3-5" fixie) to be convenient to carry around, but the axe might be more useful. My axe got used for all sorts of EDC type tasks--opening packages, cutting string, opening cans and bottles--as well as doing some light wood processing, fire making, pruning, etc. Aside from some delicate kitchen tasks, I didn't find that I missed a knife at all. Which is a bit shocking, considering how many damn knives I have.
Great challenge. I'm not quite ready for it to be over. :-[
Post by: Rapidray on October 30, 2019, 05:52:14 PM
The worse case scenario would be between a long term use and you can only have one tool. The hatchet would be my choice. I think the longer handle giving me a longer reach and better at chopping for sure. You can chock up on it, you can hammer with the side. You have a knifes edge, and a Ulu built in. Glad I don’t have to choose just one!

It does felt like it has just began, and thank you for hosting it!
You are absolutely right about how multi use an axe can be, and the funny part is I always have that mental hurdle to not ruining the knife edge with chores such as opening a can, but somehow I seem to have less trouble using the axe for that. Maybe the robustness of the axe gives more confidence or it’s generally more tough than knife steel, either way the challenge does reinforce what a great tool it is.

I had hoped to get out for a grand finale and use Lyndax to build a small cabin, but it was -17ºC this morning and suddenly, quite out of nowhere, making a big pot of chili seemed like a better idea.
Lyndax is not subtle in her can opening technique, but she sure gets the job done.....
(https://i.imgur.com/j7cKNsp.jpg)
It's been a fun challenge. You guys have been awesome as usual. I thought I'd get out into the woods more this challenge but destiny had other plans. Nevertheless, I think this was a good learning experience and I gained some more appreciation for the axe as a multitool. I am starting to feel that I need one with me always now. Well.....not in the bathtub, but otherwise.... you know...
A huge THANKS to Fuzzy for supplying my axe for this challenge. Getting an axe, refining it a bit, and making a handle for the axe definitely made the challenge more meaningful. :tu:
For those who missed out on this axe challenge or just want to repeat, I'd be more than game to do a repeat Fall Classic Axe Challenge in 2020. It'd be nice to use the axe on a camping trip, anyway.
I won't be around for a few days, but do plan on posting some follow-up snaps here. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing how Bruce's new handle turns out. :tu:

I didn't get as adventurous as those food prepping and such but it was great to see the different uses people subjected their tools to. :hatsoff:
Though I'll end up having made 2 long handles instead of one long and one short, I could see the benefit of having both, so will persist with making the hickory handle so I have the option. Pretty cool that you can have that with one tool.
Thanks to Fuzzy for introducing us to Rinaldi axes, and giving Nix and myself the chance to get to know them even more. Who wants to start a Rinaldi thread? I doubt I would have purchased one on my own considering there isn't a dealer in Australia, but since having Bruce I'd definitely buy one in the future if the price and shipping were decent.

Thanks Ray :tu: It's Spalted Holly, as hardwoods go Holly isn't that great but i figured for a 9 inch handle it will be ok, Spalting itself is caused by a fungus (the black lines) and that weakens it too, but again it's only 9 inches so it will be fine as it's not like i'm chopping my winters firewood with it, i used it because i had it and like it, if it breaks it's easy enough to make a new one but there are many far better woods out there for that job, it was well seasoned and dry to begin with and as long as i oil it regularly and look after it i hope it will last for a very long time :tu:

It is a very nice looking handle. Spalting is not a term I'd heard before a few years ago. As the types of wood like maple and birch that seem to be common in the Northern hemisphere are introduced here, a similar type of thing happens with our native Sassafras. The darkening happens in the heart wood, so the term used is Blackheart Sassafras. It causes nice figuring and shades
https://www.wood-database.com/blackheart-sassafras/
Unless you don't plan on using it for another year, why not make a mask now?

It is a very nice looking handle. Spalting is not a term I'd heard before a few years ago. As the types of wood like maple and birch that seem to be common in the Northern hemisphere are introduced here, a similar type of thing happens with our native Sassafras. The darkening happens in the heart wood, so the term used is Blackheart Sassafras. It causes nice figuring and shades

Unless you don't plan on using it for another year, why not make a mask now?
Yeah it is really nice, when i cut my firewood i always throw some of the interesting ones to the side, like this bit of Beech

I also really like the end grain on them and wanted to make a set of scales for a sak with it, i just don't think it will hold up very well and it will have no strength, i suppose plenty epoxy would hold it all together though :dunno:

I wasn't serious about waiting a year to make the mask, i will get round to it eventually :cheers:

True :tu: i had a quick check how to do it myself, i just need an hvac pump and a vacuum chamber apparently, neither of which i have.. i will have a look around and see if anyone local can do it, i like this wood but rarely use it for anything because its so brittle, i now have options though, cheers guys :salute:

:cheers:I was thinking that myself when I found a piece of birch with a very nice pattern, but it got scrapped because of how soft the wood gets(rotten). A cool thing about stabilized wood is you can get it colored when stabilizing it :like: you can't really do it after it's stabilized though :facepalm:

I remembered reading something about this, and was wondering how strong is the vacuum chamber so there is enough negative pressure inside the wood to suck in all the resin. Must be some kind of a hardcore gear I presumed? :think:

Thanks to that, I have no idea. Nowadays I see a lot of fancy scales, some looked dyed, but others I am not even sure whether they are resin permeated or not.

It's worth looking into i think, there are so many beautiful woods out there that we wouldn't consider using otherwise, even bone would benefit from being stabilized probably, i think basically enough vacuum to remove air and replace it with resin..no clue what pressure that is though :dunno:

I am going to leave it for a bit now as it will be a bit slippery until the linseed oil dries, and I want the head to stay solid.
I'm also leaving it a little rough, not going for a super smooth finish. I think that it will help with grip given the lack of palm swell at the end of the handle.
