Chic Silber said...: Nice that she's showing them how

& she's a lefty to boot (me too)

At least she has a big target; 04 August, 2012 12:53

Chic Silber said...: Kiln dried flame tempered hickory

handles are no match for gearless

axle stakes (this 1 is fiberglass); 06 August, 2012 13:48
Chic Silber said...: That's a 12 lb hammer & the stake

has a welded cap & this young lady

has my respect & admiration (shame

on those wimpy boys); 06 August, 2012 13:57
Chic Silber said...: Explanation of gearless axle stake

for anyone interested is that most

heavy car & truck rear axles make

excellent hard ground stakes but

the pressed on gear that meshes in

the differential (rear end) will

shatter from repeated glancing

blows leaving just the shaft hence

the more difficult target as well

as no cap to secure lines to; 06 August, 2012 14:24
Chic Silber said...: Wimps generally use 8 lb to 10 lb

hammers while the sturdy folk go

all the way up to 16 lb (tough); 06 August, 2012 14:27
