    Default Aussie made?

    Froes, Broad Axes, Adzes. Does anyone know if someone in Australia makes these tools ( I'm particularly interested in Froes )?

    A skilled blacksmith will be able to help with the froes. I saw one made at the Deloraine craft fair in Tasmania a couple of years ago. There are still a few blacksmiths about.

    Yep, one of the best jobs I've had, and a top lot of blokes to work with and as a bonus McConnel Dowel were a great mob to work for.
    Another bonus was the blast rock I got from the job which is being used on the outdoor oven I'm building at the moment.
