| Adam |  HatchetsJune 4th, 2008 11:14 PM I was able to put a Craftsman hatchet to good use the other day for "woodworking". The warehouse uses solid Douglass Fir shelving in its Sturdi-Builts for shelving. But, we had more wide boards and not enough narrow boards to complete some of the new units. What was needed were some "quick and dirty" reduced width shelf units. Well... The Bandsaw was tossed a few days earlier (seriously) and the vise was not bolted down to the ONE remaining workbench (old bench tossed within 4 hours of removing the circa 1959 old Craftsman "Royal Crown" logo vise). So, a quick chop with a Craftsman Carpenter's (hammer head on one side) axe came to the rescue. Worked pretty darned good - except around knots (duh...). Wish they still hand the single beveled Craftsman broad hatchets. Would have made the trimming more easier. I've got "my" Craftsman Broad hatchet at home, but've been warned about the possibility of personal tools being tossed, so I made due with the double-beveled axe. They missed tossing the 2 inch belt sander (kept it moving around), so at least the hatchet I had was nice and SHARP. Sometimes the old tools are still the "right" tools for the job. |
