A forged belt camp axe/hatchet in curly maple..(WIP pics)
Nice little axe. I glad to know. I am not the only one uses flat edges with round corners on my slitters. People always looks at them and roll their eyes. It seems I can keep it straighter with them. Been using them like that for 25 yrs.

Drilling haft for Pipe Hawk ?
I have tried ever possible way in the world to drill by hand with consistency. Given you have a sharp and straight bit. It still tries to wonder around because of the chips and the heat. I have lucked up on a few, but ruined alot of nice hawk handles. The best way, if you are set upon doing it yourself is the laminated way like has been mentioned. Or buy from Dunlap. I do drill my own. But I do it on the lathe with handle in the chuck and turning , and the drill bit in the tail stock. I use a 1/4 gun drill which has a hole down the middle that I blow air thru. There is a groove down one side to evacuate the chips and I still have to go slow.

Propane or Coal. Whats The better bargin today?
About the same price here. The 1/2 ton of coal will last for months . The same dollar amount of propane will only last for hours.
