       X-27 wood handle fit.

       So this is the welding forum I thought I would post one of my
       recent projects.
       This is a Fiskars X-27 axe head that the handle broke on and a
       fellow forum member sent it to me.
       I have put it through some testing including driving some steel
       splitting wedges through some rounds.   It has held up very well
       and the head has had no distortion and the handle has not moved
       or loosened up at all.   So far so good.

       I cut the center out of the axe head and welded in some flat
       pieces of metal on the sides to create an opening in the middle
       for a wood handle.
       Did some splitting yesterday with it and the handle is still
       rock solid.  Works very well with the handle being 29 inches as
       oppose to 36 inches.

       Modified the axe head holder.    Now the edge is protected.

       Very cool your able to think out of the box and do that.  You
       guys that can weld sure have the advantage in fixes.
       Do have a question. What happened to the fiber handle?  Heard of
       a few break in past.

       There is a fellow on a different site who has broke the handle
       on two of these now.   He sent this one to me.    You can see
       the axe head had
       been laying around for a while and was starting to rust.

       Just an update.  Put a leather guard on the handle made from an
       old belt.   Does a good job.
