i am thinking of getting a small axe at some point in the near future.
would love it if there was an axe workshop at some point or even one covering tools in general.

also i tried Elder as a hand drill too much like hard work that lol.

what sort of thing would you be looking for in an axe workshop? I am generally the "sharps" man so could possibly sort something out.

well as the saying goes the pink things on the ground are fingers lol.
just general skills to start with i know the very basics.
but it is better as far as sharps go to be taught in a real situation than to learn by a book so to speak.
and of course would be useful as i attend a retreat some years and the last time the Axe was so blunt that it would have had trouble cutting water let alone wood lol.
axe carving would be a good addition to it as well.

Plus i suppose i am itching to meet a few fellow bushcrafters in the local area

i suppose it is a confidence thing and the passing of knowledge as well

Cool, well keep an eye on things as I shall be organising a weekend at the site in the next few weeks and thats one of the things we can cover

dont suppose you could make it a sunday as i have to work saturdays

The idea will be to have all weekend. You could come down on the saturday night, or the sunday morning. It wont be an official course - just an informal get together and sharing of ideas/skills.

Let me know when, as i have got to finish my longbow!!
Oh yes
and return some items to you.....

sounds cool to me. i live in maidstone so could walk down or catch a bus on the saturday afternoon. i am away
13th to 18th August........mind you having said walk i think it is about 12 miles from where i live to Egerton. and as soon as funds allow like when i get paid next month will subscribe to the mag and have in mind a few pieces for it on the lore and mythology of trees etc
