    Used and Broken Tools

    I replace my hoof files about once a year, always saving the old ones. Ran across a high school kid taking blacksmithing classes , a perfect recipient. You would have thought I gave him gold bars, he was so happy to get them!

  11. Waxing your axe/hatchet?

    The heavily pitted one is a splitting machine. Slightly heavier than the one on the right, but splits better. The smaller head would work for kindling, and I might get a handle for it one day, I just use it for a bucking bar for now.

  12. Waxing your axe/hatchet?
