Another day in the awesome world we live in.
In other news, I finished fixing my Cold Steel poleaxe. It lost a foot of shaft from the top, so I had to improvise a fix. I cut the metal tube-section beneath the axe head, then he remainder of the top into a jar of water for two day so that the wood expands from the water. I then grinded a bit of the rim down, hammered the axe head back on, drilled a slight rectangular-shaped hole down the top of the shaft, then hammered a metal wedge down in, thus expanding the wood and holding the axe head in place. The wedge came from a railway spike, I used an angle grinder to cut the tip off.
