A guy called Bruce Blackistone does not need a moniker.

May I ask who this Captn Atli? Sounds like a man who is keeping all the medieval mill specs to himself.

G'day all, I am a smith from Victoria, Australia who has been at the anvil for 5 years. I have made the decision to dedicate myself to making the finest axes possible. The reason for this post is I am at my wits end trying to find credible information on axe eye drifts. I have scoured every book and forum for information, however all I can find is posts like thishttp://www.iforgeiron.com/topic/29034-a-forged-belt-camp-axehatchet-in-curly-maplewip-pics/ . These are very helpful, but they leave out so much. How many drifts were used, what size and shape where they, how much of a taper did they have, what is the best shape eye for what type of axe? All these questions elude my grasp. I have made a multitude of prototypes but nothing that has produced consistent results. Any help in this area would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time, Sincerely, PLEASE do not do post this way again, it is very hard to read and totally screws with the translators.
