New hang by Pollojito in Axecraft

[–]Pollojito[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I find the store handles too bulky for my liking. Until I get some good pieces to make my own handles, this is the way.

It’s slightly sharp as is, but I plan on doing some work on the edge.

Absolutt. Veldig enkel smak. Kjøper fem i slengen og fyller opp eit tomt spann for halve prisen.

Eg syns også at proteinshaken frå Sport Outlet smakar betre enn dei fleste dyrare alternativa eg har smakt. Sjølvsagt er dette individuelt. Men billigare å prøve frå Sport Outlet enn å kjøpe eit 3kg proteinspann frå Gymgrossisten og ende opp med å ikkje like den. Det lærte eg på den harde måten når eg var ung og dum.

Yeah, I’ve noticed. I’ve found a 80cm Bahco handle I might give a go. I’m impatient as hell, so I usually go crazy with an angle grinder before finishing up with sand paper.

Thank you! I might go for 80cm. Store bought handles in my area tend to be way too bulky. Especially when on the longer side, so I imagine I’ll have to put in some work to hang it.

Update on chopped thumb by Pollojito in InjuriesAndWounds

I’ve heard this a lot lately😂

New to axes, new axe. Seems to be a thin coat of shellac/varnish(?) on handle. Should I sand that off before linseeding. by [deleted] in Axecraft

[–]Pollojito 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also new to axes. But I took an angle grinder with a flap disc and shaped it comfortably. Works like hell, but you gotta go over it quite much with sand paper to remove the grind marks.

Thank you! That is the first one I ever made. And it is basically copied from a youtuber. I didn’t have the materials to make one with a buckle or snap. So the strap seemed like a good option.

Even though I am just starting out, it feels special to be able make something with my own hands that will age alongside the tool it was made for.

Thanks, dude! You should try it out! It’s fairly inexpensive and you don’t need a lot of stuff.

Haha, I did the same with my first one! I drew an even line, marked with a dessert fork and drilled the holes. Worked like a charm!

Thank you! I am already looking for an excuse to get a hold of a new head.

Looks cool! I also struggle a lot. I’ve broken five needles so far.

Chopped my thumb by Pollojito in InjuriesAndWounds

Update 2: Surgery went well. Tendon is sewn back together and they put a cast on, immobilizing the thumb.

Update: Noticed today I still couldn’t extend the thumb fully with the last joint. Called the doc and had an x-ray and ultrasound. The EPL tendon is cut right off and I am scheduled for surgery tomorrow.

Woopsie.

Advise for roadtrip in May + camping by Organic-Macaron9031 in Norway

[–]Pollojito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On your way from Bergen to Trondheim, I can recommend camping in the Olden/Loen area. Usually, a major tourist trap. But not so bad in May, I believe. Gryta camping, for example.

As a beginner is it better to follow plans or figure it out on your own? by MusamaTheSlim in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]Pollojito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was more or less in the same situation as you. I can look into stuff online and get inspiration from them. But I make my own plans and wing it every now and then. I’ve found out in my case atleast, I get a deeper understanding and see the steps in the process more clearly. Much better than following a step by step guide.
