To start 2018 off right I decided to refurb one of the 2017 axes

I chose the 3 lb Hults Bruks because it had that epoxy wedge .


I started to chisel at that chit , way to slow so I took the torch to the epoxy and as it would smoke I could chisel it easily as it would crumble away .

The head was still stuck fast , it looked like there was a 16th " of epoxy between the head and the haft so I stuck the head in one of the air ducts in my woodfurnace , opened the draft and threw more wood in .
20 minutes later after listening to the wife ask "What's that aweful smell ?" a few taps of the hammer and presto !

I was able to save the haft but I really don't think that there's enough meat left to get a good hang so I'm gonna think about the next step .
