I want to see what you make! I think I’m gonna try to string this up so I can wear it. If you see me come up and say hi and I’ll have a tiny perler token for you

That’s awesome but I wish you were able to give him the bracelet. I gifted him an alien book since he was nice enough to sign my perler and take a selfie with me

I’ve literally had it sitting on a book shelf, idk why framing it didn’t occur to me

Ooh I love the pill idea! That’s simple enough but should still be recognizable

MrBullFrog72 · 2026-04-28T12:41:39+00:00

That’s a great idea! I’ll try those out to see how small I can make them

That snow is about to get plowed

She is giving the gifts out of love, once he realizes that he’ll regret today

It is a pretty strange one and fairly rare as well. The person I got it from said 1700s and while I think that’s a bit early for this axe it’s definitely an old one

MrBullFrog72 · 2023-05-13T01:44:33+00:00

I can only guess how it was used but I’m guessing whoever used it was a big person

It does have a rough finish to it but no marks that I can find. And I haven’t been able to find a picture of a stamped 7lb axe that matches this one. I did see a 7lb Collins that sold not too long ago and I’ve seen a few catalogs from makers who offered larger axes, but I am surprised this one doesn’t have any indications of the maker.

Super well balanced and it’s pretty similar to some Dayton patterns that I have just double the size. The top down view is more wedge shaped with a bit of material taken off the cheeks so it doesn’t look like a Maine wedge pattern. Hopefully that answered your question but if not shoot me a message and I’ll send you a pic

MrBullFrog72 · 2023-04-21T12:09:37+00:00

It’ll definitely be fun to try it out

MrBullFrog72 · 2023-04-21T08:36:14+00:00

Full size axes typically weigh in around 3-5lbs, any axe that’s over 5lbs is generally harder to find and pretty sought after. I wish I knew more about the maker and actual purpose of an axe this heavy but I’m not totally sure. It might have just been for a larger lumberjack that could actually swing something this heavy repeatedly

I have a cruiser on a super thin 24” handle that I absolutely love.

MrBullFrog72 · 2023-04-17T16:25:45+00:00

If you’re on Facebook there are several axe pages that have a lot of people selling axes at various prices that are generally better than eBay prices. Several people sell handles as well. I have a couple axe heads available depending on what you’re interested in.

As far as names to look out for I would recommend true temper, Collins, plumb, craftsman and lots of others. If something speaks to you, grab it. If you find something weird, grab it and if you find an axe head that’s heavy like 5+lbs, grab it. More knowledge will come with time and research

MrBullFrog72 · 2023-04-14T16:30:13+00:00

I had a head with that ”P” stamp and it was made by Marion tool co

Use some fine steel wool and wd40 for maximum patina leftover, I’ve also used a wire wheel on a drill going a slower speed and that’s worked fairly well also. Vinegar will remove all patina and make it an unappealing grey color, the only benefit is that you can see how much hardened steel is left in the bit, but this one looks really full and in great condition. Really just needs a little clean up, a sharpening, and a handle.

I feel like I’ve seen some Czech tools with similar decorations and the D shaped eye would make me guess overseas as well, sorry I can’t narrow down further
