Differential edge hardening?



I'm not sure what he's doing but it's bound to have an effect on the cutting edge of that ax!

There is a classic example of.... "A few pieces shy of a full puzzle".

What a maroon.

But stupidity knows no bounds. It is a real crazy to light a cigarette. I've always thought that people who resort to extreme self mutilation must be hurting terribly inside to go to such lengths to be noticed.

Hey Robert, his ear is notched to fill in for the missing pieces.
Wanting to smoke a cig in the first place tells you all you need to know.
I have an angle grinder just like his. That model DeWalt was a piece of crap.
