Back at Bentley on Sunday - Super Mario brothers -  Elena Dragan and family from Romania.

I met the two boys both called Mario on Sunday morning and we discussed tools of course.

Their huge adzes far from being cheap in Romania were around £350. Made my ones sound cheap!

I took these pictures with a view to making one next time I am near a forge (and a suitable piece of metal). It looked mainly from one piece, the socket being bent through 90 degrees and then welded.

 

The side axe was perhaps a little overly hirsute.

Clearly the socket was MIG or stick welded.

Big offset on the handle!

 

It was a pity I did not have the time to watch them use their tools.
