Back at the museum tomorrow before and after the parade.
Looking for a babbitt ladle, another soldering copper or two, possibly another blow torch, and hopefully another misery whip or two.

In other news, I ate way too much... 3 sausages, and two kinds of potatos.
 
Cleaned my old axe up, sure good to see it again after 40 years missing,

Okay Jerry.......Paul Harvey the ax story.....

Axe went missing when I was 21 and no one I talked to knew anything about it.Same thing happened to a few of my treasured hunting knives. My foster brother confessed on his deathbed to having stole them and sold them for pocket money. I figured I knew then where it went,...I was right!
 
Cleaned up just fine !

How did it get lost for 40 yrs ?

It was always kept clean all the time I had it in my possession, it was my grandfathers axe, given to me and my dad made the handle for it. I would recognize that style handle anywhere, hand made and that wire job was his signature plus a mark he made on the top pommel. That axe head is a coveted hand forged Blenkhorne C , you can see the strike marks left from the blacksmiths hammer.
