Hi ALL, bought a cheap Bahco axe off FLEABAY £13.35 inc P+P. Looks wise I wasn't so keen on the shape of the head and the finish could be improved on so I set about modifying it a little This is the result:- Attachment 7500Attachment 7501Attachment 7502Attachment 7503Attachment 7504

Cut head to shape using a hacksaw, then some gentle use of an angle grinder to clean up edges. Head was a touch rough so set about removing deep marks with a fine grade flap wheel on angle grinder and then by hand using finer grades of emery paper, ended up using polishing mops on bench grinder to get that mirror finish "there are some slight marks still visible, but it is a working tool". Rubbed down handle with fine sandpaper and used Danish oil to finish off. I quite like it myself, others might think I have ruined a perfectly good axe.

lovely job now lets see how long you can keep it clean lol
