Working on a new axe:

I made a couple new tools today and tried a couple new method for making this axe. My post earlier showed the tool for the back spike. Now I want to show you a tool I welded together this evening to help me hammer the under curve into the axe head. 

Hot axe.

Welded large round steel bar chunk to angle iron to make a hardy tool. The welds aren’t great but for me they are getting much better. I think I went through a good 10 sticks to make this piece.

Here is the new form positioned on the anvil. I made it double sided with two different sized pieces so I can just flip it and work the next radius.

A shot of the axe after using the smaller radius for a few heats. This steel I’m using is super tough and I have to forge it super hot. Does not move very quickly.

Starting to slot punch the eye hole. I think I probably had to heat this six times to get this punch through 2 cm of steel. That might give you a clue as to how hard this is.

Here is a shot of the axe as I left it tonight. Slotted and I started to fan out the blade a little. The edge is still a good cm thick. Tomorrow I will make the under arch a little bigger and start to spread the length back out before I drift the eye.

You can see the tool I use to slot cut a hole in the top. First I hammer like hell on that thing till it sinks almost all the way through. next I flip it and line up the punch while the piece cools a little, dark red to grey works well. Then I blast the punch back through really quick and it shears off a little slice inside (see that slug in between the axe and punch). It’s a super cool process and beats the pants off of drilling and filing. It also leaves more steel than drilling.

The plan is to have this mostly done by this time tomorrow.
