Subject: [bolger] Back from a hard Autumns work
sorry i havent had time to do any posts for a few months, but all
the work got on top. Wish I could make some money from it all!.
I dont think i'm planning another boat at the moment but i do seem
to be collecting some deadly looking tools.
in the shed at the moment are 2 adzes. a 2 man saw( misery whips) ,
some 1 man x-cut saws(long toms) arriving next week for restoration
and I'm half way through making my own Broad-axes as The local museum
wont let me touch theirs. i spent a delightful afternoon in the
Museum measuring and weighing their collection. little do they
realize that some of the gear ive now scrounged isin better
condition. It is starting to annoy me that perfectly good tools get
hung up in displays to go rusty and never get used again. The only
tool Ive had to buy is a small sawmill that can do a 9 1/2 inch cut
but the price i payed was far less than the cost of the blades.
All this tool collecting started after i was offered some trees to
take away and didnt want to take to them with a chainsaw. It is an
opportunity to learn to use some traditional tools that are not
around anymore.cheers for now
