To progress! To a productive year!


Yes, I have actually made some progress. The axe is now sturdy, but I left the handle area free of fiber and because of that it bends a bit when swung...don't know if that's a good idea though, just a hunch.

Practical things: the weather in Finland is crap. Either it's freezing, raining, snowing or all those at the same time and resin doesn't cure very well in that kind of an environment. So I made a box for it, out of foam sheets and a small heater inside. While it works marvelously it's seriously not-too-optimal, so as a proper start for a more productive new year I'll built a proper, bigger, better box this week (if my budget holds) and it can then also be used to handle the foaming that'll come next.
