Forging an adze isn't easy. Even when you start with an old hammer, forging that adze will straight up wear you out!
This was a mason's hammer. i noticed that it had what's called the "adze eye" style of eye on it, and thought, "Well, why not make it a proper adze then?!?"
Hours and hours later, gallons of sweat poured onto the ground in tribute, she's done. Now it just needs a short handle and it will be ready to make bowls and other projects.
It was a good learning experience and I've already started on a second one!
