Be careful the rust gets in your blood and you are hooked!

[MrDanoconnor]

Very Nice Collection of Woodworking & Wood Harvesting Tools

[Mofila]

@MrDanoconnor Thankyou and very nice David Bradley, I hope to get one someday.

[H95Shooterv12]

where can i get augers

[Mofila]

@H95Shooterv12 You can get augers like those at most antique stores, ebay, or websites that sell antique tools. If you live in more of an urban area I think you will have less chance of finding old tools since alot of them come from old farms, but look around, they are pretty common. Thanks.

[H95Shooterv12]

@Mofila we own a farm dating back over 100 years ill look at the where the old house was and my grandpa had a dog that would cary tool in the woods and leave them

[Sille8822]

Nice to see a good collection of tools that actually get used. I know this one guy who has everything you can possibly imagine and he's afraid to use them.

[Mofila]

@Sille8822 Thankyou.

[the1sear]

nice colection,i have a similar hand drill i just cant figure out the brand all i know is its american made do you think you can tell me the brend of your drill so i can extend my reserch,thanks in advance.

[Mofila]

Thankyou. Mine doesn't have a brand on it either. I hate it when there aren't names on the tools lol.

[BZZE]

good now use them instead of collecting them

[Ivvavik18]

I saw this program on the history channel and it talked about how axes were made in different regions of the U.S. to fit the specifications of the logging of that area. Can anyone tell me if there was one made in the northwest? specifically oregon?

[Mofila]

I don't know of an axe made specifically for Oregon, but I did find a Puget Sound pattern from Washington. I think for the most part they used Michigan patterns. Most axes used in Oregon were 4 pound double bit axes.

[lefthandhuck]

@Ivvavik18 Yes, the Puget Sound pattern was the axe of choice in the Northwest. They were commonly hung on 44-48in handles allowing the axeman to reach far into the large tress they were cutting. The Western style double bit was also very popular.

[CrazyBritishB1oke]

Test one of them axe's on ur head.

[bushcraftourway]

wow dude, unessacery

[T3hJones]

Nice tools. I hope you get them into working order and use them and not just store them!

[Conan568]

I have a big old broad-axe like the axe @ 0.10 min, and a smaller Granfers Bruks broad-axe.

I also forge knives and iron-work with old hammers and tongs.

These old tools were meant to be used.

[Mofila]

I'm going to get me a Granfors broad axe once I save up enough money. I have an a granfors american felling axe and I love it. Does your broad axe work well?

[Conan568]

I haven't tried the big broad-axe, but the little Granfers works great.

[blueshadow1996]

Those are really awsome tools there Mofila..That horse reminds me of the ones the old indians used to make baskets with,to make the handles and tops..Nice collection of tools

[Mofila]

Thanks, I didn't know the indians used them.

[blueshadow1996]

Back in the 60s and they still use it today..Its cool to watch them make a basket..They pick the right ash tree and cut it down,and banging on the log untill the growth rings start to loosen and they cut it into strips and peel it off and then pound it some more with a horse similar to the one you made.Great work by the way...they weave it into baskets..

[banjodan99]

Nice collection. Those two broad axes are awesome pieces. I've always wanted one, but never found a good one. Last one I saw, the head was forged slightly twisted to keep from hitting your knuckes on the beam, and someone tried to straighten it and tore out the eye. I like the shaving horse too, I always wanted to make one but couldn't figure out how.

[Mofila]

Thanks. On the second broad axe the handle is bent. The antique dealers that sold it to me said they found it in the Saginaw River. The handle is still suprisingly in good shape considering that it was probably in the river for a 100 years. The shaving horse was real easy to make. It looks like junk, but it works good. I split out half of a cedar log and then just bored the holes for the legs, stuck them in and nailed together the rest.
