Hickory is a natural shock absorber along with excellent fiber strength for tool handles. The color of the wood does not affect the strength or quality of the hickory. The U.S. Forest Products Lab has found no difference in white or red hickory’s strength. Therefore, the best hickory handles may be red, white or a mix. Since hickory is a natural product, traditionally, handles have fallen into different grades according to density, freedom from defects, color and grain. The three basic grades are Grade A, B and C along with subgroups: A Grade is a top quality prime handles and can be red or white and meet all government specifications A for industry, commercial and other professional applications. B grade is excellent for contractors, ranchers and other professional tradesman along with home- B owners who want a top quality handle. C C grade is a great value for many applications and occasional use. The finishes applied to the handles may be a… • Tumble Wax • Flamed and Lacquered • Cherry Lacquer • Clear Lacquer • White Ivory Lacquer • Yellow Safety Grip (extra charge) Packing: All handles come 12 to a box with steel and wood wedges included where needed. Below you will find the 7 different grades of handles along with the type of finish applied.

This system will eliminate errors, misinterpretations and is a timesaver. Its use is suggested for Purchase Orders, Catalog Numbers and Inventory Control. The system is compatible with Electronic Data Processing systems. The basic numbers are in the Price List, and the complete number for every handle will appear in the “Item No.” column on each invoice. HOW IT WORKS The entire “Handle Number” is composed of four digits. Hickory Handles have been separated into ten groups as to the TYPE of handle; e.g., Axe, Pick, Sledge, Hammer and Hatchet, etc. These groups are numbered from 1,000 to 10,000. The “Thousands” number signifies the TYPE OF HANDLE. Each type of handle includes several different STYLES of handles; e.g., Bent Single Bit Axe, Nail Hammer, Machinist’s Hammer, etc. The STYLE OF HANDLE is designated by the “Hundreds” number. By combining the correct “thousands” number with the proper “hundreds” number, the type and style of handle is identified. The LENGTH of the handle is shown by the “Tens” number. The length of the handle in inches composes the last two digits of the entire handle number. BRAND Identification: The entire handle number is followed by a hyphen (or a space) and the BRAND NUMBER. The Brand Number is found in the price list or on Page 2 of this catalog. An additional hyphen (or space) and a number following the brand number denotes the weight of tool with which the handle is used. This is required only on certain handles where the weight of tool is specified. SUFFIXES: “X” denotes Octagon Grip. “S” denotes Small Eye. illustrations 36" VICTOR Double Bit Axe 34" REGENT 6-lb.

  • Tula Adze Download

    Tula Adze Download

    Australian Artefact Fact Sheet Tula adze Tula adzed dish Tula adze slug Tula adze slug Where? Across most of Australia with a focus on Central and Western Australia. The name tula or tuhla comes from the Wangkangurru people of the Simpson Desert. What? The tula adze is a hafted flaked stone tool mostly used for wood working (scraping, adzing and hardwood such as Acacias and Eucalypts. They were also used to butcher animals and to chop plants. When they are used to adze hard wood they blunt quickly and were then resharpened repeatedly by knocking off small flakes along the working edge. In archaeological sites they are usually found as exhausted slugs that have been removed from their hafting, discarded and then replaced. When? Tools such as tulas are rare in archaeological sites and especially places that can be dated. This has meant that there are small numbers that have been securely dated. The oldest dated tula adzes come from rockshelters in the Hamersley Ranges near Newman and Packsaddle dated to between 3,700 and 3,500 years ago. How? Tula adzes are made by flaking a core. They have a wide flat top (platform) that allows easy hafting and they have a curved shaped back (convex). The adzes were usually hafted into the ends of a wooden stick or spear thrower encasing the end of the stick/spear thrower in a resin glue made from spinifex or grevillea resin, kangaroo poo and sand. It took about two tulas to make a boomerang and an undecordated spear thrower would take about eight hours to make with a tula adze.
  • Fire Bow Drill

    Fire Bow Drill

    Making Fire With The Bow Drill When you are first learning bow-drill fire-making, you must make conditions and your bow drill set such that the chance of getting a coal is the greatest. If you do not know the feeling of a coal beginning to be born then you will never be able to master the more difficult scenarios. For this it is best to choose the “easiest woods” and practice using the set in a sheltered location such as a garage or basement, etc. Even if you have never gotten a coal before, it is best to get the wood from the forest yourself. Getting it from a lumber yard is easy but you learn very little. Also, getting wood from natural sources ensures you do not accidentally get pressure-treated wood which, when caused to smoulder, is highly toxic. Here are some good woods for learning with (and good for actual survival use too): ► Eastern White Cedar ► Staghorn Sumac ► Most Willows ► Balsam Fir ► Aspens and Poplars ► Basswood ► Spruces There are many more. These are centered more on the northeastern forest communities of North America. A good tree identification book will help you determine potential fire-making woods. Also, make it a common practice to feel and carve different woods when you are in the bush. A good way to get good wood for learning on is to find a recently fallen branch or trunk that is relatively straight and of about wrist thickness or bigger. Cut it with a saw. It is best if the wood has recently fallen off the tree.

  • The Bow and Arrow in the Book of Mormon

    The Bow and Arrow in the Book of Mormon

    The Bow and Arrow in the Book of Mormon William J. Hamblin The distinctive characteristic of missile weapons used in combat is that a warrior throws or propels them to injure enemies at a distance.1 The great variety of missiles invented during the thousands of years of recorded warfare can be divided into four major technological categories, according to the means of propulsion. The simplest, including javelins and stones, is propelled by unaided human muscles. The second technological category — which uses mechanical devices to multiply, store, and transfer limited human energy, giving missiles greater range and power — includes bows and slings. Beginning in China in the late twelfth century and reaching Western Europe by the fourteenth century, the development of gunpowder as a missile propellant created the third category. In the twentieth century, liquid fuels and engines have led to the development of aircraft and modern ballistic missiles, the fourth category. Before gunpowder weapons, all missiles had fundamental limitations on range and effectiveness due to the lack of energy sources other than human muscles and simple mechanical power. The Book of Mormon mentions only early forms of pregunpowder missile weapons. The major military advantage of missile weapons is that they allow a soldier to injure his enemy from a distance, thereby leaving the soldier relatively safe from counterattacks with melee weapons. But missile weapons also have some signicant disadvantages. First, a missile weapon can be used only once: when a javelin or arrow has been cast, it generally cannot be used again. (Of course, a soldier may carry more than one javelin or arrow.) Second, control over a missile weapon tends to be limited; once a soldier casts a missile, he has no further control over the direction it will take.

    Tools of the Cabinetmaker, but Also Like the Cartwright, the Hatchet (Handbeil) and the Drawknife (Schneidemesser)

    CHAPTER FIVE The Chairmaker The chairmaker bears the name in common with English chairmakers presumably because his trade is originally transplanted from England to Germany, or because several types of chairs that are made in his workshop have been common first in England. In the making of chairs, the settee (Canape), and sofa, he wields not only the plane and other tools of the cabinetmaker, but also like the cartwright, the hatchet (Handbeil) and the drawknife (Schneidemesser). I. In most regions, and especially in the German coastal cities, chairmakers make their chairs out of red beech wood, in Magdeburg out of linden wood, and in Berlin out of serviceberry wood (Elsenholz). Red beech is lacking in our area, and the cabinetmaker, who before the arrival to Berlin of chairmakers that made wooden chair frames, chose therefore serviceberry wood in place of red beech. Likewise the chairmakers, when they arrived in Berlin, found that circumstances also compelled them to build their chairs out of serviceberry wood. If the customer explicitly requires it, and will pay especially for it, they sometimes build chairs out of walnut, plum wood, pearwood, and mahogany wood, and for very distinguished and wealthy persons out of cedarwood. The chairmaker obtains the serviceberry wood partly in boards that are one to five inches thick and partly in logs. The farmer in the [town of] Mark Brandenburg brings this wood, partly in logs and also in boards, to Berlin to sell, but the strongest and best comes from Poland. If the wood has not sufficiently dried when purchased by the chairmaker it must stay some time longer and properly dry.

    Major Work by British Artist William Turnbull Joins the Wadsworth’S Sculptures on Main Street

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media Contact: Kim Hugo, (860) 838-4082 [email protected] Image files to accompany publicity of this announcement will be available for download at http://press. thewadsworth.org. Email to request login credentials. Major Work by British Artist William Turnbull Joins the Wadsworth’s Sculptures on Main Street Hartford, Conn. (Sept. 19, 2019)— Earlier this week the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art installed Large Horse (1990) one of the largest and most archetypal works by acclaimed twentieth century artist William Turnbull (1922–2012). Also on view is a selection of eight drawings he made between 1950 and 1957. “Art has the power to humanize the urban environment with sculpture having a distinguishing public art role throughout history,” says Thomas J. Loughman, Director and CEO of the Wadsworth. “We are delighted to work with the Turnbull Studio in creating this major addition to the cityscape, particularly as the world is rediscovering Turnbull’s work.” The Wadsworth has been placing sculpture on Main Street for a century beginning with Enoch Woods’ sculpture honoring Nathan Hale which was installed in 1894 and has been on view ever since. Large Horse (1990) by Turnbull joins Tony Smith’s Amaryllis (1965), Conrad Shawcross’ monumental steel Monolith (Optic) (2016), and Woods’ Nathan Hale (1889) on the museum’s front lawn. Turnbull’s casting repertoire began in the early 1950s when his most frequent subjects included bronze masks, heads, and horses. Large Horse (1990) is the product of a late- career return to these three dominant themes. On loan to the Wadsworth from the artist’s estate, the nine-and-a-half-foot bronze is the largest cast metal sculpture Turnbull made.
