Hi,

Motivated by an axe thread on the forum I went out some time ago and bought a Wetterlings Bushmans Axe - Les Stroud Model.

Said axe has been missing for 6 months, I spnet many an hour searching high and low for it to discover that my son had removed it without my permission to cut Leadwood for the braai. Now an axe is a personal item much like a knif ena I was suitable pissed off.

Anyways, the axe has some small chips in the cutting surface and the blade is very slightly loos on the Hickory shaft. Obviously from the excessive force required to cut the larhe Leadwood pieces.

The handle is affixed by a wooden wedge driven down the center of the shaft. How do I retighten the axe head on the shaft?
