Thanks for that Hedgesparrow.I'll do that.I've only been laying for a couple of years as a member of South of England Hedgelayers and as most of them use old tools I'll give it ago.

I use my grandfathers, very precious to me.

Got a couple of bulldog yorkshire bills but hardly use them, also go an old spear and jackson welsh style which gets used if I need a billhook, but for hedgelaying I have used a brazillian made machete for years as can keep it in a belt sheath and is always to hand when needed

Found one of these today whilst digging a garden, don't know what make but might be worth cleaning up abit.
