For the handle I would suggest using Bondic. I got it as a gift and so far I really have liked it. For the metal cover, I don't have any easy fix, but a machine shop might be able to use a tig welder it get it back together. I have no idea what that would cost though.

Well I guess I'm not in any real big hurry, I just got the flywheel broke off the 306a, that should keep me busy until it get here, that and finishing the prep of this axe handle.

Sometimes you can smite the clutch with hammer and soft punch, but if your gonna be doing this alot the right tool is prefered

Funny brother just fixed up a double bit axe and i was thinking about doing my double bit, also i was compemplating restoring my great grandpas two man cross cut saw

 

[Kensie1988]

You most definitely should!

I just picked that handle out at Home Depot, sanded the clear off of it and am now going to finish it with danish oil or tung oil

Little story time, my great grandpa was a mountain of a man, he lived through the great depression. He would go out everyday and cut a wagon load (like a hay frame wagon with sides), of firewood with the very same cross cut i have, for a quarter a day! Thats a man sir!

True story. Dad said he was never sick a day in his life cause he didn't have time for it haha, and he never got bit by mosquitoes because they couldn't puncture the skin.

Yeah, I have a single cross cut saw to restore as well, but that won't happen until spring when I can work outside.

I'm going to want to see the finished project if you have the audacity to post a pic of an axe in progress.

Same problem. I see that Crosscut Saw Company sells some sharpening kits, but I don't know if I can justify spending that much on a kit yet.

I love hearing stories like that, if I had an axe head like that I would put an extra nice handle on it and probably just display it.

So my Dayton muffler is shot, so if anyone has any just like around I could use one.

Talk to acornhill

 

[Kensie1988]

Haha yea, I might do that, but I have to check my clutch springs first, and if they are bad then I need to get those from him first.
