Miner's axe

The mine timberer works all the mine wood with his axe. It is a hand tool of approx. 1 - 1.2 kg with usually a curved handle (approx. 40 cm), the edge of which (approx. 6 cm; the riveted iron is wider: approx. 9 cm) diagonally opposite the stem. The iron is made of one or two pieces. In the first case it is asymmetrical at the top and sometimes ends opposite the blade in a square hammer. In the other case, a rectangular blade is riveted to a U-shaped piece. The latter serves as an eye. [MOT]

Miner's saw

Although the miner's axe is mainly used for sheeting the mine galleries, a saw is sometimes used for this. It is a folding saw with a rigid, rounded blade (approx. 35-45 / 4-5 cm). This blade is attached to a straight handle of the same length by means of a spindle. The teeth enter the groove of the handle for transport. Sometimes, however, the blade is fixed. The handle is then shorter and the saw is carried in a wooden tube. [MOT]
