I saw this axe on the bay, saved the pic as it shows quite alot, really need to find out what parts were used, i think the top part that kind of holds the blade on was from a hairdryer ?? but which one is my question cry

Would love to try and get all the parts together especially if they were all real parts, another bit looks like a spark plug from a car.

fett sniper you have a message

That piece with all of the slots looks like an old Con-air blow dryer/ brush. It didn't have a nozzle ( like a gun) , you actually brushed your hair while blow drying. The ball at thebottom looks like a toilet part, the float.

Thanks for the link, will have to do a search for some of those parts, not feeling to lucky though....

Thanks to Solochaser ive realised that the slotted section is infact a Gillette Super Max Hairdryer, and the ball section at the bottom is infact a Melnor Soft-Flo Soaker model 5330c, this was for a hose pipe!

Thee is a detailed thread on the RPF about it

and as a side note,
I found a Supermax today at a thrift store for $3.50

I managed to get the one from the bay in the end, gotta get my buddy to take a mold of it so that i dont destroy the master as that would suck :wacko!

If anyone has any of the other parts used or can get hold of them LMK as i would be very interested.

In the end i want to be able to build an exact replica and possibly offer them to other people in a kit form.

Hey Steve, have you talked to David (Dougie Fett), I know he is working on some Skiff guards, you guys could save yourself some time maybe..........and if you need any help with molding etc drop me a line, Also, I would be interested in owning one of those some time if you figure it out.

Rob.

You have a PM Fettsniper.

 

[FettSniper]

T-bone, PM back at ya

Rob, i think i will have to send dougie a PM also, his skiff build is awsome. Yeah one day if i ever get all the parts together i may be able to offer a kit to everyone but knowing how i work someone else will probably beat me to it

If I remember correctly the actual model of soaker is long out of production. However, there is a similar one available but you have to have two of them to make it look right. I'm still trying to locate the store I ordered mine from for you.
