That Bell system is cool. A good friend just fond a really big Bell System axe head for my collection. I will be doing a video on it at some point. Love the vices. Got a few cheese boxes holding leather tools on my desk. Great haul. You got a new subscriber.
Hey man, Bell system are some of my favorites. And axes from friends or family are the best! I check out your channel and subed on the first video! Keep on the same path and you'll be successful for sure, good content. 👍
And thanks.
@@old_iron_axe_and_tool thanks, I truly appreciate that.
On the vice "rods"... secure them to a 2X4, wrap them with electrical tape, find a pipe 1/16" larger than the knob, and straighten them until your heart's content.
All GEMS! Wow! Thanks for sharing!! 🪓🌲🪓🌲
BTW... Your "Mohawk" bench vice also conveniently comes equipped with an anvil on the backside if you haven't noticed by now.
@ 31:20, That's an "E-Tool" (Entrenching Tool) Used to dig Fox holes, set Claymore mines, trench around your hutch for rain drainage, dig shitter holes and cook Jonny cakes on. Sometimes in that order... 😂
I love your content, this is becoming a passion of mine in my spare time. I actually completed my first axe rebuild the other day.
Norland was made on old Collins Company machinery after Collins went out of business in 1966.
Nice haul!
The first machete looked like a martindale
I love these videos going through collections I’ve been meaning to start sone of mine. That Collins fire axe is sub1900. Hartford was Collins first location I believe so that’s cool I have a Collins Hartford Connecticut on a nice old octagonal handle. Also that stiletto on the 40 inch handle is something wicked
First comment! Thanks for the video!
Gps FIRST! Ive really been digging your content man
Hey thanks for the positive feedback man.
Great haul....i have the same norland hatchet
Hey Alex, this is my first norlund. I've got a question for you. When your looking at the poll, with the bit facing away, is it squared? Or is the bottom, from the poll to the beard slanted at an angle? I've read that norlund wasn't known for high quality axes, this one has a crazy slant to it. If that all makes sense...
That item you called a draw knife is a fleshing tool I believe. For skinning and tanning hides.
Nice man lot of cool stuff
Right. It's been pretty good out there.
This is awesome. I love hauls like this. Alltrade is an interesting one. I’ve found some that say made in china and others that say made in Japan, but I’m not totally familiar with the history on that brand. I picked up an Alltrade boy’s axe recently, which is nice and kinda rare. I’m on the west coast too, but have only found one Stiletto so far. Picked up the yard sale axe search bug a few years ago, and I’m on the hunt every weekend. Good luck in your future finds!
It's been good lately for sure. Is that boys axe a dayton patern? You in comifornia?
@@old_iron_axe_and_tool It is. Yes southern CA
@@old_iron_axe_and_tool and luckily, axes are politically unaffiliated
@@keithhastings yes. I didn't mean to insinuate any political views by saying that. It's a habit of mine I developed working out of state, where alot of people were biased towards Californians. 👍
Haha first time I have heard anybody say "Toast" I say it all the time, you would think it would be a more popular term
I want that tape measure
The Sheffield is a fleshing knife for fur handling.
Makes sense, thanks for information 👍
Sand where you want and Evaporust the the rest of that active rust
Phaff , German Sewing Machine Company
8:20 def a Woodings-Verona - looks so much like the standard 3.5lb Michigan (which is such a workhorse of an axe). No US ## stamp?
That 1st machete looks like an old Marbles. The old ones were great. The new ones are made in China out of mystery "steel".
The ‘Barco’ Pulaski you showed, is it perhaps, Bahco? They are a Swedish tool company (now owned by SNA, Snap-on) and a re-brander of axes
It's Barco, they're an American company that bought true temper. Not sure if they still own TT though.
I'm no machete expert but I've found a couple old sugar cane machetes that look similar to those if that helps
Found a couple of estates sales going on near me. I'm going to check them out next weekend and look for some old ax heads for my first restoration project. Any advice?
First is to be there as soon as they open and be aggressive about finding them, Axes go fast. If you don't see any, ask if there are any. Generally you'll find them with the other yard tools. Remember that the heads are small and hard to see if they don't have a handle. Don't be shy about digging through stuff, I've found some gems in odd places. Around here axes or heads go for $1-$10 a piece. Good luck
Awesome should be a fun hunt
The green axe kinda looks like a Collins Commander. I picked one up the other day with the same flat handle.
Did it have a sticker or was it stamped?
@@old_iron_axe_and_tool It had a sticker and blue pained bevels. But I have seen them without.
Do you ever come across or have any information on American fork and hoe company 1944 hatches? Thanx for your channel loving it
I've got a 1944 or 45 American Fork and Hoe. I'm assuming your talking about the m1910 army hatchet?
Yes sir it’s a 1944 and I was wondering if it was a military issue because of the U.S. stamp on it. Can’t find a lot of info on it but would love any info you have. Thanks again and love the channel
How many axes do you actually have? Just curious if im the only one who hoards them.
I haven't counted. Id say a few hundred heads, but it's growing fast.
Your not alone, and don't let anyone tell you it's a problem. 😁
My naibour has over 3,800 heads. No shit.
@@old_iron_axe_and_tool well i guess ive got a ways to go than..
@Jon Halliwill fortunately it's a cheap hobby. A man really only needs 2 or 3 axes, but men like us want every one we see.
@@old_iron_axe_and_toolman, what a true statement!
Have you seen any WALTERS axes lately ?......How good are they quality wise?.....I've got a couple.....One is a BLACK DIAMOND........
I've not found a Walter's. Canadian right?
Imacasa or tramintina machete
The first machete is British as I own one not sure the manufacturer or name God bless from Canada eh
It does say england on it. Pretty much everything else is unreadable. You in the burn area?
@@old_iron_axe_and_tool I'm from Canada
