OK, so it's been seven months since I last posted anything. I feel really bad about that. When I'm in the shop doing stuff, I keep forgetting to take pictures. That, and my motivation to do anything with my evenings besides facebook and solitaire is very low.
I have been doing stuff.
One of the mechanics across the alley brought over this SOG tomahawk to see if I could make a longer handle for it. I told him I could, but it would take some time to fit it in. The original handle is above the tomahawk in this picture.
I messed around with some different ways to use this aluminum tube I had. I think I made the best choice. The tomahawk head and handle are untouched and could be reassembled quite easily.
The band below the screws was going to be heat shrunk into place, but I didn't count on how quickly aluminum conducts heat. The fallback was J-B Weld.
I tapped the hole in the end 5/8-16 in case he wanted to add weight/length/or use it as a stash.
I will try to be more diligent about my blogging.
