  • Here is the process of hanging a vintage axe using hand tools only.
    The axe in this case is a pre-WW2 Plumb Tasmanian pattern head made in the USA.

    Hope you are doing well mate! I came across a beautiful Plumb Tassie with a wonderful slim handle with the reninents of a "Champion Tool Handles" sticker. When I saw it was stamped on both sides I remembered your video explaining that was done pre WWII. I didn't need encouragement...I took it home.

    Very Nice !
    I have slowed down some of how I work when hanging a handle. I find I end up with a much better job. Watching your work , I see I need to be more patient in the process.
    I will look for one of those Shinto rasps. Looks like a very nice tool !
    Thanks !

    I use a steel or brass hammer to hang as well. Will sometimes use wood for fitting. But need steel to set it.
