Three of the four axes. The fourth one had a slight issue, the handle split on me when I was trying to secure the axe head 🙄 ah well those things happen. Tomorrow I'll make a new one and also get back to the Irish Ring Hilt Sword. No rest for the wicked! #donefortheday #fridayfeeling #vikingstyleaxe #ashwood #steel #forgedaxe #forge #blackenedsteel #blacksmith #weaponry #silveranvilforge #leatherwork #handcarvedhandle #handengraved blacksmithcharlie https://www.instagram.com/p/BmlmEWGg61G/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1e053ckzjdadv

The silver anvil logo has been hand engraved onto each axe head, the handles only need sanding and light varnish to finish. Firing up the forge now to temper the axe heads. #nearlythere #progressreport #axeheads #axehandles #vikingstyleaxe #handcarved #handengraved #handforged #forge #blacksmith #blacksmithcharlie #silveranvilforge https://www.instagram.com/p/Bmk_F_mADdJ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1bylz4y3j8w5m

All the axe heads have been hand engraved- front and back- I've taken the angle grinder to them to take off the rough edges left from the hammering and now I'm going to give them a once over with the sander. I don't have a sanding belt so this will be another slow job done by hand, but it'll prepare them fully for the tempering process. #gettingthere #axeheads #vikingstyleaxe #blacksmithcharlie #blacksmith #forge #silveranvilforge #slowbutsteadywinstherace https://www.instagram.com/p/BmjNV4LA4kE/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1npjxiyx5gujx

After yesterday's heavy hammering, I'm taking it a little easier today. The hand engraving is going on the axe heads prior to tempering. Slower work, but it should make for a nice looking axe. The devil is in the details after all. #handengraved #axeheads #vikingstyleaxe #steel #steelwork #forge #tempering #metallurgy #blacksmith #jackofalltrades #handmade #maximumeffort #devilisinthedetails #gottabedone #hammerandchisel https://www.instagram.com/p/Bmfv6aHgcij/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1lfxphnt2ncqz
