Hytest Axe

You've done a beautiful job of hanging that

I think I need an Axe wall 

  Tony. Not very happy with the handle manufacturer's ability to cut a straight kerf. I think it offset the head ever so slightly to one side, but I got it pretty straight in the end.

I'd like to see your axe wall, is your shed big enough?

I have been trying to tidy my garage for the last couple of weeks (again?  ) keep finding more of them
No free wall space in the shed or garage 
I might have to mount one or two of them on my living room wall

FTFY. Plus there's the rotation of axe under your pillow 

[styx]

axe under the pillow? now you're talking my language

[Sparky415]

I have to fight them off with something 


 

[Syncop8r]

The axe wall is starting to get a bit full now...

Looks like a cool place to hang...

I agree. Axe, kukri, chainsaw... common household items that everyone should have

You reckon everyone should have a chainsaw under their pillow? 

[Syncop8r]

I thought Tony was talking about having to fight off the ladies.
Dunno what you're planning Styx..... 

[TazzieRob]

Still needs a proper sharpen, the Husky is the only properly sharp one at the moment

I'm naming the middle one Tiger.

It's got nice stripes, that's for sure 

[Syncop8r]

Actually it reminds me more of a Tiger Shark than a Tiger...

Yup. Might need a bigger pillow

To swing for the fences 
I'm oddly enough not planing anything. This might be a belated reaction to too many Halloween specials (and generally liking the occult and horror subject)

If my former fiance looked like that I would've gotten hitched. But alas she was a nightmareish creature of another kind - the kind that wants you to give up your tools, working with hands and anything outdoorsy

[Sparky415]

Yep that's what we all need a woman in a brides dress with a bad attitude

Time for a top up 

[TazzieRob]

Yard clearing and burning my pile before fire permits or fire bans are put in place. I never go down to the back of my block in strong winds because of widow makers like this in a couple of big gum trees. Thought I'd give the newest chopper a go to buck this into a few lengths instead of one

Could still be sharper, but this is very hard seasoned timber

Still a bit of original green on the left side of the head

I like your chopping block. 

Were any of those meant to be portrait? When I attach portrait phone photos here they come out as landscape despite me rotating them on the computer. What I do now is open them in something like Paint, rotate one way, then rotate back and save, seems to sort it.

[Sparky415]

Fun! 

[styx]

looks like it worked very well

That root gets a hit from the mower every now and then!

The last two should probably be in portrait, but the last one is in portrait in my phone album. Looks like Tapatalk auto rotates to landscape at least if you use the in line attachment option like I did. Maybe the original full size would me unmolested?

[TazzieRob]

Fun! 

Direct square hits weren't much fun, very jarring. Once I got the angle on and started taking out chips it was much better, and the "chopping block" helped back up and stop a lot of vibration from the unsupported branch

Once I got the technique right it did go very well!

I used to live in a house surrounded by trees including a couple of big gum trees which were quite close. One night the snow was really bad and all night we heard big branches breaking off all around, hoping none would go through the roof.
