    I love old steel. Most of my favorite billhooks I use for fencing work in the UK are at least 100 yrs old. They hold an edge,easy to sharpen and work hard all day long. They are underappreciated pieces of working history from a time almost every town had a different take on the perfect billhook.Good video thx..

Well yesterday I finally found a sweet Mac 10-10, runs beautifully. Today my co-worker asks me if I want another old powersaw, brings it over and it’s an XL76 that runs like a top! And I been grinning like an idiot for two days now haha

Well, I'm 63 and short. my splitter broke so now I have to do hand splitting. I have a Friskar x270. Question ? What kind of ax would you recommend for someone like me. Again, Thank you so much for all that I've learned from you! Still learning.God Bless, with many Blessings your way.

    Never thought much about different axe heads and handles. I guess because I was splitting wood a different way. I can see the advantages of the various ones you've shared. I have only one ax and it does very little, in the way of flying through wood. My ax is a thinking ax. Every time I use it, I think, why did I buy this. It must of came with A gym membership. And a water bottle. Maybe its servers as my therapy. Or as a shopping list starting with advil. I'll be looking for other styles in the future.
