Old Axe Project

[muddytreker]

Found under a rotting shed some 15 years past, am a hoarder of shite convincing myself it may
be off use in the future, now more learned more tools felt able to do something with it.

 

[muddytreker]

Grinder to rough it out, hand belt sander and some homemade round thingys for curves.

Round thingys

 

[muddytreker]

Round thingys in a piller drill and slowly work the axe head curves for not bad results.

 

[muddytreker]

Used some Birchwood Casey gun blue to black the axe head.

 

[muddytreker]

Picked up a handle, tweeked it a little, made some wedges, due to the how the head
opened at the handle a simple one wedge would leave some gaps, so five wedges seemed
best.

Everything tapped in ok.

Something to cover the edge and aid carry to the job at hand.
Leather always works for this sorta thing and fits the aesthetic.

 

[muddytreker]

A simple sling to shoulder carry the axe, giving a hands free to carry of the wood or
perhaps use the sling to bundle and hold the wood for carry, it gives options either way.
