I have one of the smaller range Gränsfors axes too. 😊

And I certainly see your point. Both with axes and guns.

To me, guns are a completely alian thing, I neither have or ever had any hunters in my circle of friends or family.

Sharp tools however (including sharp power tools), have been in my close proximity all my life.
I guess even if I know what sort of dammage a felling axe could do, I never really think about as there is no way on this green earth I could ever swing one and I stand corrected. 😊

As for the carving knifes and axes I own I pride myself with keeping them sharp enough to shave the hairs of my arm. Honestly, they are pretty usless in any other state as dull carving tools are more prone to slip and injure you and/ or mess up your work.😊

My (maternal) grandfather was a carpenter and taugth me how to use a lot of tools as a kid rather than hide them (that would have been impossible they were everywhere) or forbid me to touch them.
Of cause I only got to use the ones I was strong enough to handle safely and he was allways there to supervise me when needed. 😊

He also told me to respect the tools and never use them in a maner or for a task they wasn't made for because that's when they nip or bite.

I have a Swedish-made hatchet that comes on most adventures with me, and a big razor sharp felling axe from the same company that absolutely terrifies me more than any other tool I own (including hunting rifles). Guns are easier to control and less likely to cause unintended amputations.

Colour me curious!

What company are the axes from?

I have taken up woodcarving (amogst other things) since I used to be around here.

Also not sure about you feelings about guns vs axes. I can close an axe wound on my own... 😏

Thank you Swato! 🌹

I guess I should change avatar to something elese probably a bear (became a mamabear when the cub was born). I'm still fluffy (and a bit fatter 😆) and the fangs are still there... The stripes seems to have washed out tho. 😉

It's good to be back!

Hello!
Nice to be back! Thank you Bluenose.🌹

I'm in self quaranteen (with the rest of the family)since 5 weeks due to a stubborn cold (probably not covid19 they say..).

Despite the rumours things are going pretty well here, the hospitals are still coping and the initial panic and lo-paper hogging is fading out.🙂

The wee one ain't  so wee anymore, turning 5 in late May. I now know a lot more about Dinosaurs than I ever done before... and space and cars and other vehicles... I'm still ahead of him when it comes to Vikings and Knights but I predict that might change soon.😊

As a general rule "This calls for more rum" is a lovely sentence....

This is a very quoteworthy sentence...😉

Seems all right to me. ☺
The Hero bit is new but I have my Toadfishguardianship. Have not tried any mod powers though but I certainly seem to have full access to the forum. 🐙

Darlica, how is parent-hood?


Thank you for asking.
A rollercoaster... as expected.😜

It's a webmail and it works as well on a computer as with the app on a smartphone.
Both Lindorm and I use it for our private mail. We still have and use Gmail for some mail but important stuff now goes to the Proton account now. ☺

If you havn't solved this yet I can recomend "Proton mail".
Googlyeyes can't read it. You can send encrypted messages to anyone and it's free if you don't need multple accounts or msssive amounts of space/Gb.
