old hatchet(new pic)
beetlebailey1977:
I have at least 4 of them sitting in the corner of my shed.
RBLusthaus:
I think initially that hatchet was for shingling - one side to split out the shingle and the other to nail it in place. They are also very useful for splitting out staves from logs - used as ax to start a split or used as a wedge with the hammer end as a target for your sledge.
I use one just like it, 2 wedges, and a sledge to split logs. Warning - you are not supposed to hit metal on metal - so be careful if you do and wear those safety glasses.

Like many others here, I hunt them and gather 'em wherever I find 'em.
Hatches, Hawks, Axes... oh and hammers too!
My wife asks me how many I need... I tell at least "One" more...
:)
Maybe I do have too many hobbies...
