Forging an AXE from a HAMMER

This was a really fun one y'all! Watch to the end to see me DESTROY some pumpkins with the axe! Or you could skip to the end, LOL. But it's not that long of a video so.... 😉. Anyway thanks for watching! Be sure to hit the thumbs up and if you haven't already please sub for more!

    It looks like a pirate’s boarding axe but so very awesome to see how you made that nice work

    Turned out great! That's actually one of the things I'm planing to do, only by hand, don't have a press, yet! Good job! Subbed

    Все понравилось, но проушина узкая надо было расширить, ручку лучше как на томагавке без клина, и термообработка, закалить надо было только лезвие, а так форма красивая респект 👍

    Can I ask, why did you harden the entire axe? Didnt you want some flex if you are throwing that beast?

    Beautiful work, love the repurposing of old steel. I'd like to do this but dread the idea trying to forge it out by hand with the little skill I have. Out of curiosity what ended up going wrong with the first handle?

    Thank you! Ya I love those old USA made hammers. The hang was loose and the top of the handle was broken.

    Beautiful axe, just feel you should have opened up the eye for a sturdier handle.
