Using my Haults Bruks

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

I was using my Haults Bruks felling/splitting axe today while I was doing some spring cleaning in the garden

Usually I use my Kukri for this sort of thing as I feel more comfortable/confident with it, but I decided to use my axe instead for a change. Well the first swing for about a year reminded me how different a beast an axe it , less controlable, less accurate (but better with some practice) but oh so destructive

Once I finished tidying up I then spent about 30 mins chopping and splitting wood for my parent's chiminea , I'll probably pay for it with it with sore shoulders tommorow, but is there anything better than twirling, hacking and slashing with a big sharp, scary tool

Axes are great fun ....thats it really, i feel like i should contribute more to this post but i feel my view on the subject matter has been covered so i'll leave it at that for now.

Nothing exciting, we have a generic cheap hatchet at home, would like to get a Gerber/Fiskars hatchet at some stage though. Not got a real need for a splitting axe, but i've used one in the past (it was part of the job description!) and it was a great stress reliever, good exercise as well

Cheers! Although my housemate (although it was used by an idiot to take a pallet apart and it needs a lot of TLC ) has one so i know what they feel like, very comfy in the hand, but it's been a while since i've used it due to the afore mentioned trouble!

Sorry I'm late!    I love they way it's me that sends things OT.    Mike, you know you are the king of Spam. 

I have never used an Axe believe it or not.    Never had one and never had the need for one.

I'm shocked! You're gonna have fun at the meet up then Do you think we are gonna need to bring wood with us, doubt there's enough trees in Nottinghamshire to quench our thirst for destruction!!

Thats a distinct possibility, most campsites I know off are civilised places, I doubt they'd let us go on a rampage
