Here in Texas, we hold the steel close to our bodies to cool us down in the winter.

Northern Ontario here. One of the top guys at the mill where i work has a glass eye from a frozen axe/wedge (can't recall) shattering while logging. Frozen steel is dangerous while doing impact work. Stay safe.

This is how west coast men invented axe deodorant

My great grandfather walked the woods here in New Brunswick Canada. At the time it was mostly pine for shipbuilding. Men like him no longer exist. Winter camping and cutting for months on end. Truly a different breed. 🇨🇦

I call BS. They stuck it under their arm to make it stinky and add a poison damage buff.

My grandpa and I were shake rats and we would use steel froes and aluminum mallets. We would build a small fire in the winter time to warm up our tools to prevent them from breaking in the cold weather

This is how west coast men walk with their boyfriends.

Now that's what this guy should be talking about, not starting a fricken revolution.

Good advice, I went outside when it was too cold to practice throwing axes and knives and the axe broke on the first throw very cold and hardened steel don’t mix well

Thats neat, my wife’s grandfather was a feller in NFLD during the war.

Paying buy the hour is the WORST incentive. Money goes round the world because of RESULTS. Great tip.

My grandpa's first broad ax got a huge chip in it his job was limbing and cutting Knotts in Oregon in the 40's

And we still teach our structural and wildland firefighter recruits to always carry the axe just like this. “Because it’s safer if you trip” was what I was always taught.

Last cold snap we had i broke all my #2 bit tips. I bought more and kept them in my lunch box with a hand warmer.

[dallintaggart]

So that is why they say he has a chip on his sholder.

[chrishoesing]

Interesting, but I find it hard to believe that even the lowest Pacific Northwest temps would get cold enough to cause axe steel to get brittle.

[stevencunningham]

Thats a nice axe Cody. I built my son an axe like that for his b'day.

I think i remember my father referring to that area as you "axter". (in Ireland)
