Andy M Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Hi everyone, the recent travel restrictions and a two week self isolation requirement from re-entering the country has rekindled my interest in working with my hands. I used the time to restore a Rapid B forge that has been in my container for the past 20 something years. Still a couple of jobs left on it such as the 14T gears require replacement, and to fabricate the pan + ash dump plate however, I didn't have the tooling / resources where I was holed up. Intend to restore more accumulated tools after I move house in the near future (bigger shed:) ). I Also made an axe handle for an old head that I found in the same container - hand cut / planed and shaved a 50 year old piece of hardwood into shape. It has been a very satisfying experience and good use of the current environment we find ourselves in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 It's a great feeling when a project that's been "hanging fire" for a long time, decades even, finally gets done. Can we see the axe/handle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
