I always pin the axe head to the handle on my axes. Not the way the old timers did it, but I never let my axe handles get soaked, and they seem not to loosen this way. Never had an axe head break from this either.

I dont like that, looses versatility. I like to have a removable head. Makes for a great hand tool.
I remove the set nuts that come on them. Momentum of chopping keep the head snug on the tip.

Yeah. Im only gonna put an axe next to me if it has multiple uses. Hammer - Check, Chopping Tool - Check, Hand tool for cutting things such a meat or making wood shavings - Check, Being able to throw it on to a stick if the handle brakes - Check.

Yeah, my hunting buddy has the same thought. Then about two days into deer or elk camp, he puts his beloved Estwing camp axe back into it's purty sheath and puts it away in his truck and grabs one of my truck axes made from someones great grandfathers axe head I bought at a garage sale for a buck and then refurbished,  and my buddy then gets to splitting full size wood for our campfire.

If it was just for splitting, Id go over a full size axe for sure. I just have a suv so this axe sits snugly next to the drivers seat incase of an emergency.

I'm a lumberjack, and I'm okay.
I sleep all night and I work all day.

MOUNTIES:
He's a lumberjack, and he's okay.
He sleeps all night and he works all day.

BARBER:
I cut down trees. I eat my lunch.
I go to the lavatory.
On Wednesdays I go shoppin'
And have buttered scones for tea.

MOUNTIES:
He cuts down trees. He eats his lunch.
He goes to the lavatory.
On Wednesdays he goes shopping
And has buttered scones for tea.

He's a lumberjack, and he's okay.
He sleeps all night and he works all day.

BARBER:
I cut down trees. I skip and jump.
I like to press wild flowers.
I put on women's clothing
And hang around in bars.

MOUNTIES:
He cuts down trees. He skips and jumps.
He likes to press wild flowers.
He puts on women's clothing
And hangs around in bars?!

He's a lumberjack, and he's okay.
He sleeps all night and he works all day.

BARBER:
I cut down trees. I wear high heels,
Suspendies, and a bra.
I wish I'd been a girlie,
Just like my dear Papa.

MOUNTIES:
He cuts down trees. He wears high heels,
Suspendies, and a bra?!

[talking]
What's this? Wants to be a girlie?! Oh, My!
And I thought you were so rugged! Poofter!...

[singing]
He's a lumberjack, and he's okay.
He sleeps all night and he works all day.

He's a lumberjack, and he's okaaaaay.
He sleeps all night and he works all day.





Oops, my bad, couldn't resist!
