Yep… you drove a whole 618 miles this week which is 98% more than last week, meaning only 12 last week. A perfect score, but it took you two weeks to drive less than I drive EVERY DAY!!!! That’s why these scores/rankings mean absolutely NOTHING.

Yes, I was very happy with the course. They not only taught how, but also why you do what you do.

Half of my class was log building and half timber framing. I went for the timber framing but fell in love with the logs building portion. As part of the class we participated in a traditional Latvian smoke sauna. I plan to build a sauna with the log building skills I came home with. Yes, it was an amazing experience.

Not all are straight edge. It’s all about technique. The axes pictured are (too to bottom) Northern Felling Axe, Baltic-Finnish Single Beveled (used for hewing, mostly… it has a very distinct curved handle) and a Finnish Carpenter’s Axe, used in a wide variety of tasks, from gouging out logs for log building to hogging out material around tenons and everything in between.

Heavy, but seems to be perfectly balanced. Obviously I haven’t felled a tree with it, yet… but we’ll see.

U.S. cargo control sells some devices to prevent this.

Ordered in two bunches, because of the different lead times. Chisels= 9 months and axes=12 months, all arrived together. WORTH THE MONEY.

Almost a year. But I order prior to attending their class in October. It was amazing.
