The handle bracket mounts in between 2slats and locates in-line with the bottom holein the side proﬁle. Slide the handle bracket
between the M8 nyloc nuts inserted in 2.1
position the axe bracket to where you would
like it mounted.
Tighten all the M8 x 16 button head bolts(Item 6).
Place the Axe against the handle bracket andmark the handle of the axe, use a 5mm drill
bit to drill a pilot hole and open up to a 12mmhole.

hole from the other side - this will stop
the wood splintering.
