I was given this an age ago, a Ewell 2 1/2 axe head. For a long time it hung on a nail.

Until yesterday, I had, key word there a well seasoned bulk of American hickory, it was heading to the charcoal stove. A member of the Local Men In Shed is a wood working nut. He turned into a shaft for the Elwell head.

Nice. Elwell are lovely axes and command good prices accordingly. I have a little Brades Criterion hatchet I got for $5, super steal. Lovely to see good tools working again.

I have been up to similar fun today. I found some handles in a nice tool shop, again American Hickory. You might remember this hammer head I got a few months ago, as well as the two I got the other day and posted on here

I painted up the Warington hammer red for my friend. She does joinery.

And a coat of blue Hammerite for the 2lb ball pein as per all my other eng hammers. Red for wood, blue for metal is the colour coding in the workshop

Cheers

Bought a magnetic broom for clearing up when we are not on the concrete, brilliant tool. £15 ish on the bay of thieves.

As Mrs TYA has claimed him, as soon as I proved it was working, do you think I have a choice?

So long as you've got a can of spray paint, a craft knife and a sheet of 1mm plastic to make a stencil, you've got a choice

You could always add "..etta" to the name - although there's a range with that name already

Got these today.
Donated to me by my Father in Law.



The 2 axes need a dam good soaking in Linseed Oil as they are dry as a bone. But still have a sharp edge.

The extension cord is being junked, damaged case and the cabling is exposing the inner cores.

Went to a car boot, but was too late. Garage sale across the road, picked up a short Acro, on the way out a chap said Do you want another one of them? I was going to tip it...

Clip the plug and keep it if not for brass scrap, a rewireable plug is handy indeed. The wire is worth building up until you have a sack full, then scrap it.

collected this from my dad this morning, its bloody heavy! , it was going in the skip, it was originally a heavy duty sink unit, sink came out and replaced with some ply and used as a work bench for abit, has leveling feet, will post some pictures later when im finished with itView attachment 107534

got my bench finished, i left the thick ply on, the top is 3mm steel with 20mm folded edge. put a vice on also. used some exhaust clamps and ratchet straps to secure gas bottles to the side

one side i have my mig m, torch and mask etc. the other side has my plasma cutter and mma rods of etc, i like how they are away from grinding dust when not in use.

also found i can put an old jack handle on the vice so can be used as a rest/steady when welding

total cost £40

Plug will be scraped, cable will be striped and the plastic will get weighed in as well.

The 2 fuses are the only 2 things from the extension lead worth saving.

You may want to put the fire extinguisher somewhere more accessible?
