Garage archeology

Post by FWiedner »

I was performing a 'dig' in my garage the other day and I came across these axe heads.

Image

Like finding a couple of old friends.

I remember when I bought them about 35 years ago, I thought the handles that came with them were too decorative for use. Left them on for a few years and they held up pretty good, but they got burnt and cracked the way battle-axe handles will.

I took the originals off, telling myself that I'd put better handles on when I had time and could afford it.

Well, maybe it can be found in the budget.

I mean, because it's important... :lol:

Government office attracts the power-mad, yet it's people who just want to be left alone to live life on their own terms who are considered dangerous.

History teaches that it's a small window in which people can fight back before it is too dangerous to fight back.

Yeah, I just hate that when it happens, but all my battle-axes keep cracking or get burned.

. . . I need to find less furious battles from now on. . .

Fred I have a hatchet/axe affliction that I acquired at a early age when I became interested in sharp things theres only so much you can do with a pocket knife and as Pop said never use force get a bigger hammer, I started with hatchets and worked my way up. danny
