      Looks the business Tony. To me the back end looks a bit heavy, probably because its quite far back - does it affect its turning much??

      Think I ought to start getting my crusher built too

                Im bored so i will post the probable specs of lumberjack:

                600g single headed pneumatic axe with buffer tank
                and small scoop/shovel.

                Two 12v drill motors.

                12v ni-cad pack.

                20mm peice of HDPE for base of chassis.(Ali box section for the rest.)

                6mm HDPE for the armour.

                I know the axe isnt very heavy but it has a buffer so that should make up for it.

                Dan.

                    I am still waiting for the HDPE.But i will be going to B+Q this week to get some ali box section.I will be using one of those ready made woodmans hand axes with the plastic handle to start with.But if it dosnt hold i will take the head off of a full size axe (weighs nearly 1kg) and make a custom titanium arm for it:wink:.What is terrorhurtzs axe arm made from?

                            Let me find that sheet of .5mm C75 hardened spring steel. See how that stands up with the 10mm HDPE as backing.

                                Two questions:

                                I thought for my axe head it will 3mm steel.

                                I think this will bend.

                                So will 6mm stand stand up to it?

                                Secondly:

                                Should i use 10mm polycarb or 10mm HDPE for my chassis base?

                                Thanks.
