    If you have a spare +40min go for it. I would have used the angle grinder (bench grinder if you have it) to rough it out then a few min on the file to smooth it, finish with the stone. I think using something less compressable than a towel would be better to keep your angle consistant. A simple block of wood should work. The finished result is very nice.

After much work profiling the head and building a custom handle I was quite proud of it. After only a few uses the head broke vertically where the handle was attached. Moral of the story: if your going to invest the time, start with a good piece of steel.

    Greetings! It is very interesting to see how a skilled person remakes an ax. I also did something similar, since the shape and weight of the finished axes did not suit me. I want to note one feature. When installing the ax handle, it is better to use not a triangular wedge, but a rectangular one. And in the handle itself, cut a trapezoidal slot. So that the expansion would be towards the bottom. In this case, during the introduction of the wedge, the upper part of the handle expands. A very tight connection with the ax head is achieved. There is no need to introduce additional metal parts there. I made the wedge itself from oak, about 8 mm thick. The handle can be made from any hard wood that is not prone to splitting. It is desirable that the grains in the wood of the wedge and the handle be perpendicular. It is also recommended to lubricate the wedge with a rubber solution in an organic solvent before inserting it into the handle. Then small dimensional fluctuations caused by changes in humidity will be compensated by a layer of rubber. It will also provide even more friction between the parts to ensure reliability. The experience of operating such axes has shown that under no circumstances does the handle begin to loosen.

    You obviously have no experience setting axe heads, the handle flares just below the head to keep it in place, the triangular wedge flares the top on one axis and the circular metal wedge flares the top on the other axis, creating a super tight fit.

  • @hikewomeat

    @hikewomeat

    Жыл бұрын

    The ax is exposed to strong mechanical influences. In addition, humidity leads to expansion of wood. The triangular wedge has more opportunities to get out of its place. Even the use of metal inserts does not solve this problem dramatically. The use of a wedge in the form of a parallelepiped from solid wood gives such an opportunity. In this case, no additional metal details are required. You can verify this yourself by applying this method.

    Even better is using the sinew of the animal. Sinew is the tendon and ligaments of the deer or buffalo. You can use cow sinew. Tendons connect the muscle to bone. Ligaments connect bone to bone. Leather is just processed animal skin. Sinew is often used for American Indian arrows for their bows. Attaches the flint arrow head to the arrow shaft. Apply the sinew wet. Wrap very tight. Sinew shrinks as it dries. Once dried it's perminent. When dried it has the color and appearance of dried glue.

    Hello Julius!! Thanks a lot for your compliment! This kind of axes has often the DIN Norm 5131 B. This norm says, that the material is C40, the hardeness ist between 50 and 55 Rockwell and the edge is hardened in the first 30mm behind the cutting edge. So the part where i worked was not harended.

    @lily tv sorry, but you don't know what you are talking about. It's a cheap Helko Axe for Massproduction that's right, but it's a good steel, easy to sharpend and the handle is also from a good quality. Don't think that quality must be expensive. You can pay 100,-$ for a Axe cause there a cool Brandname on it, but it's not that worth.

    Art as an antonym to science maybe. The steel is still utter garbage, you may as well sharpen a frying pan. Bulk of the cost of a good axe is that it's a good alloy, and forged. This is chinesium.
