Good point, and the phone wasn't ringing at home at night when it really wasn't ringing. Did they have home phones then?

On that site's work axes page, it says not to use metal wedges....I guess somewhat understandable, but only to use wooden wedges! What's up with that?

Thanks for the link, Stig. I was Googleing Scandinavian axes. Japan still makes some beautiful hand forged forestry tools, but axes not much.

He who complains about the food becomes the next cook. Better to change camps.

I've been thinking about buying an axe after watching Jerry's videos. Up to now I always carry my short heavy framing hammer to pound wedges, more like a baby sledge. Wonder how good the steel is in the axes sold now? Blacksmiths don't seem to make them in these parts, not a popular item...

Wonder if folks used company axes, or had their own? Could you stop and sharpen, it seems like a good excuse to take a break.

The thing that gets me about those old logging pics, is that you would think the guys would have enormous muscles, but they pretty much look average builds.

They cut that notch then charged people five cents to get their picture taken on a horse.....cool gig!
