hatchet

[theluckyhunter]

i am reworking a factory hatchet for a tbh'er and he suggested that i do a tutorial, before i start taking pictures of my steps how much interest would there be??? should i make it more pictures or describe it in detail?

[Ouch]

both

I will certainly watch along.

A picture is worth 1,000 words, pictures with a brief description as needed is great, then people will ask questions if there's anything needing more details.

Let the show begin.......

i know im jumping around ALOT but im working several angles at the same time one reason is to keep the head cool and this is basically an experiment to me so i want everything to pull together at the same time
