Isn't it nice when someone says "that's a great piece of kit, where did you buy that", then you can modestly reply "you can't buy it, I made it myself". The moral is, it's amazing what you can achieve if you put your mind to it.

If it's cutting the handle off above the head that's the problem, I use a Japanese fret saw. It's got a stiff brass back. It trims well without tearing the grain.

dont worry i made loads of mistakes and just kept changing the handle till i got to a standard i was happy with....and then swapped it for a sfa lol
I just kept restoring axes until I could get it right. Restoring teaches you so much, even now after restoring a fair few of them I still end up scratching my head at times. Plus with different axes, you then have to learn what handle style works for that head ect.Originally Posted by headshot
