Hey all,
I found an old hatchet in my garage that I've decided needs some love. I've taken the axe head off and gotten the rust off it and the edge sharpened, but I noticed that there is a crack on the back side of the eye of the axe head. See the pictures below. When I took it to get looked at, the guys at Kent of Inglewood suggested that I get a grinder and make a small channel on the back, and then do a weld for the pieces to stay together. Problem is, I don't have the tools or the brains to do it. Anyone interested in taking on a small fix like this, or know of a shop/person who would be willing to do it?
Please let me know, and thanks in advance.
