Chopping Wood!

 We attempted ax chopping wood for Dad new grill he made.  I guess he's going to get a new ax for Father's day cause all he had were really old ones.  Clint's first couple chops below and the ax was broke.

 So, we decided to put a new handle on an old ax.
 Dad is telling us how to put the ax onto the handle.
 Then, Colleen tapped in the wedge so that the ax handle would be tight inside the ax.
 Try it out Colleen!
 Whoops, out of order! Then Dad sharpened it up!
 Just right!
 This process could've been a tv program.  Watching green people try and do things the "old" way and then watching Dad fix the ax = pretty entertaining.
 Got it done - well Dad did most of it.
Hoff was a crazy ax swinger - remind me to hide any axes around this place or the next time we get in an argument, it might just be off with her head.  Not really - just kidding.
