Whats the angle of the hatchet looks like you holding it at 45° approximately. I find many axes are ground at the factory with the wrong angle. Even log splitters are ground upto 60° Thats ok for soft wood. But with ozzie hard wood I find 45° maximum bevelled angle on a splitting axe and as low as 30° On a axe i like 22° bevelled edge Also the steel shound have a rockwell hardness if 55 to 58 HRC
@@ChainsawUsers don't know, I'll measure it later on and find out. Cheeks on this were quite thick when I got it and it was very sticky. I just thinned it until it worked well enough and left it like that
Good Job 👍
