I Forged a Custom Axe for

In this video I am going to show you how I forged a quite unique hewing axe/adze for Erik Grankvist. I also had the pleasure to go and visit him at his cabin where he tried the tool out.
Hope you enjoy the video :)

    Nice adze. You might consider shortening the handle so you can straddle the log and swing between your legs. I find this to be a much more comfortable and efficient angle at which to use an adze for this purpose.

Of course a few tinnies on ice won't go astray.... an yarn away the evening! Just one question mate, how do your addze perform on eucalyptus wood?? Got a bit of spotty gum I need to whittle down a bit for a keel of a boat.... cheers, from the land down under..... (If you're upside down)😂
