      That truly appreciate that. The fencing pliers work so well for so many different things. As soon as I decided to put decorative, palm swells on the handle, the traditional style went out the window. But that's okay. I think it turned out great.

    Nice job!!! I like your Shopsmith. I bought one used in the 80s and had it for 35 years or so. When I retired and sold my house moved into a Condo and had to let it go. Rather than sell it I gave it to my nephew so at least I know where it is. Made my girlfriends grandson a baseball bat made out of ash on the Shopsmith. Also made 4 jewelry boxes before I got rid of it. I Should go tag sale and look for one of those vises. On e-bay crappy looking ones are going for a buck fifty or more.

    Grandpa got me carrying a hawkbill. I use a Pringles can and sandpaper. To sharpen them. You can also use the corner of a stone. Im a sharpening, axe and knife junkie lol You can use red lock tight. To glue thin shim to the back of that blade tang. . To increase pressure. or you could centerpunch it. To raise a burr which will accomplish the same thing.

      I think it really depends on the tool and your the desired outcome you are seeking. I would always suggest starting out minimally, abrasive and working your way up. One thing I have found is if you put aluminum in a strong chemical decreaser to strip paint, check it frequently, as the decreaser will actually eat the aluminum.

    Love the videos man!!! And glad the gloves fit. They are definitely supposed to fit snug and are a bit stiff to start. After wearing them a little they break in and you get better dexterity. As far as the tommy axe poll my guess is someone was really using it heavy for hammering or it got beat with a hammer. Ive got a small sledge thats faces are slightly mushroomed in a similar way and im sure thats hardened. But i expect you can judge better once you take a file to it. And simce its one without the No.TA stamp on the reverse side you could do a channel etch on that too!! Looking forward to the upcoming projects man!

      @@_BigLife_ did you see Keith’s video on the 8” Wilton on UA-cam? What a huge vise! I don’t mind getting the 6” for a decent price but the 8” will be of no use to me! It will be a looker and people may thing it’s a plastic store display model!
