Hello everyone i my name is josh and i am a lumberjack. I have collected axes for a number of years now and have over 1200 so i have no problems identifying those. I do however have a lot of old tools that i have alot of questions about so this seems like the best place to learn and share some knowledge. thanks everyone.

 We are glad to have you, let's hear about the axes and ask away about the other old tools.

Welcome aboard from the other side of the pond in the United states.

Wow 1200 axes, now that's a large group.

Hi Josh

I have just joined too and am based in South Wales. You sound like a bloke who might be able to give me some advice. I picked up a cracking Plumb double-bit head at a car-boot, but can't find a handle. I have bought a billet of hickory to make one but as it will be my first attempt, my hopes aren't that high! Do you know anyone in the UK who sells them, just in case mine doesn't work out?
