So, where exactly can one obtain a wood axe? I want to chop me some firewood.

There are a couple just laying around, often near one of the woodcutting areas. I remember seeing one near the campfire at the entrance of bleakfalls barrows (the first dungeon), and at least 2 others in the halted stream bandit camp near whiterun. Maybe the woodmill npcs give you one too, i'm not sure.

I recall taking my first one from the lumbermill in that first village, but there seems to be at least one near every lumber mill.

You are also likely going to want to have a pickaxe in your inventory at all times too, those are usually pretty easy to find if you just look around in any cave with people in it though.

Thankies, and I know a fort along my way that has a pickaxe I can nab.

Started a new character because I took the perk for dual casting, not thinking about the fact that I don't use dual casting because I have a sword in one hand.

Incidentally, you can use a pickaxe as a weapon, and it does decent damage for the beginning of the game, and the power attack is amusing.

[Yoink]

Although it looks rather silly, since you wield it in one hand for some reason... Is the woodaxe the same? Also, why on earth can we wield those two, but not shovels and brooms?

[The Merchant Of Menace]

Yeah, I want to sweep away oppression!
Or bury my foes, literally!

[Shadowlord]

Well, since the invincible NPCs problem (definitely the worst design flaw I have discovered so far in the game) prevented me from

  clearing out the evil gang of criminals in Riften's sewers, I decided perhaps doing the first quest would then allow me to kill them, since it's revealed to the player that they're the Thieve's Guild quest-givers. No joy, they still get back up with their inexplicable invincibility.
So, the next desperate course of action for my character is to deliberately fail the second quest, where you have to extort a bunch of shopkeepers. The only way I can see to fail is... To kill them. But alas, we all must make sacrifices in the course of justice, and that is the course my character is now set out upon!
I just need to get the bounty-money to stop the guards from hunting me for wiping out half the Black-Briar family. Surprisingly, my spellcasting hired thug managed to survive my disastrous attack on their manor, and caught up with me many miles away outside of another city, after I'd considered him dead.

Really? I haven't done any thieves guild stuff, but when I was doing the Main Quest and looking for a particular person, I was advised to ask a particular huckster in Riften where the fellow I was looking for was. He was not inclined to talk unless I stole something and planted it on someone else, so, despite my quest arrow pointing at him and being given no alternative path in the journal, I left him, went into the Ratway (as it had previously been mentioned as where he would likely be), and had no issues killing the hostile named NPCs (who I presumed to belong to the Thieves Guild) who got in my way (specifically, they were all hostile, until I reached the tavern).

The ones in the tavern were not hostile, so I left those ones alone.

Yeah, and saws and pitchforks! How can you have any kind of good mob action without a pitcbfork? And hell, I want to be able to tie a saw to my broom and have the ultimate weapon! No, wait, I want to be able to tie a saw to my forearm! A dwemer mechanized saw! With extra tearing damage!

You can duel wield pickaxes. what more could you want?

[freeformschooler]

I will admit, it would be amazing to wield the wide variety of miscellaneous items in the game

This game needs a way to respec perk points. I don't care if I have to pay a fortune or do the hardest quest in the game for each point, but it needs to have some way.

[Greiger]

Beating folks to death with bugs in jars, dragon bones, solid dwarven metal, hagraven feathers, giant toes....

Backstabbing somebody with a carrot would be good.  Or using Azura's star as a throwing disk.

[Rose]

God, what do you think this is, dwarf fortress?

Next you're gonna want to catch live rabbits and throw them at Dwemer Centurions.

Well now I do.
