I made this awhile back, figured I'd post a few pics.

Put my makers mark on the back hammer.

Wow Avery! That is a Brute, it looks very powerful!
I just love your style!
Your axes look the way I think an axe should look!

All right! You know the drill! We want stats. It is a beauty though.

Thanks for the compliments fellas. I've done axes for other folks for a while now, so it's nice to do one for myself. I do a lot of camping and such so I wanted something that above all is functional. I believe that beauty stems from function...

Stats

Head material-tool steel (started out as 32oz ball peen)

Absolutely disgusting. You should send that to me immediately to make sure you no longer have to use it.

Seriously, it looks nice and Kiri is right. I do like the look. What's the total weight?

I actually don't think it would stand up to use.....I tell you what.....since we are brothers.....I will take it off your hands for disposal....I will even pay the shipping to my part of the Wilds....plus $10 for your gas and time to attend the post office....

Avery P. · Post by **Avery P.** » Tue Apr 24, 2012 11:26 pm

Thanks all.

The total weight is about 1# 2oz, give or take.

@E. Mac and Cinead- lol, yeah see I would send it off but I was so disappointed it with it, I already threw it in the trash....

<----- is picturing Erich dumpster diving for that!

Well I can.. I mean really, it would be all about 'Safety'.. wouldn't want any of those poor garbage men getting hurt by it now would you? So he would gladly fetch it out, too keep any of them from getting hurt.
