Hello everyone

Well I am ready to help train those truly interested in learning the use of historic tools namely the broadaxe, adze, and I have now added the interesting topic of creating your own handle for your broadaxe, some carving and glass finishing are involved

I have helped many around North America and Europe master these tools, and create their own offset handle

I have 3 generations of family history using these tools, as well as 30 years of personal experience demonstrating to high end tourist groups and lectured to the timberframers guild on 2 occasions on historic timberframing's many challenges using hewn material to create true copies of barns, drive sheds and other outbuildings, that the Ontario gov't wished to preserve for future generations at upper Canada village

If any of this seems interesting drop me a line at richard2@xplornet.ca for further conversation
