Aside from the excessive overheating from the angle grinder... Especially taking the angle grinder directly to the toe and heel to reshape the bitting. You can't tell me that didn't mess up the heat treatment. Nor did he actually reprofile the blade. Not that it will keep an edge, because of probably ruining the heat treatment.

Good craftsmanship, terminator music. Nice content.

Why do you have only 106 subscribers? You deserve more! And btw I love how you used chemistry too

what was that etching process? Be cool if you had a complete list of materials required. I'd love to make my own axe.

It is amazing... I want it too .......

This is awesome! My friend and I just found a tree that has a really cool design, I was thinking if the wood was too small could we either mold the axe or are there different sizes of them?

Hi Joe, yes, you can find diferent axe sizes. If you really want to use that wood even realizing its too small the best solution would be finding an axe that fit in proportion

holy crap dude - this is so good!! do you have a list anywhere with what you used for this? Obviously - besides the stuff in the video I just had a few questions - such as the sand paper you used for the wet/dry. also where did you buy the head?

Amazing work! How long did it take?

Wow, amazing work, you definitely motivated me to try and do my own axe. Can I ask if you could explain more on the carving process. What did you taped on the axe? Where did you get it? And what was the electricity method for melting it (not sure if this is what you did). Thank you very much. And are you Bulgarian by any chance?

Hi, sorry for the late response , the engraving process is called “electro etching” . The tape is used to protect the part that you don’t want to be affected , I’ll try to make a video explaining the process but you can find it already on KZread

Nice looking axe! Did you use a cricut or similar for the resist and was it normal vinyl? I've dabbled with this as a hobby and have used an old car battery charger and dunked the whole axe in saltwater. It takes about 45 minutes to loose about 1 or 2mm. Your etch seems deeper and more pronounced. Is that because of a higher amperage? So many questions. This is fun stuff. Keep up the good work. You've got another subscriber👍

@jammesworkshop9721

The axe has already a heat treatment so if you avoid to heat to much while reshaping the edge you shouldn’t affect the heat treatment. The easy way is to cool the piece with water
