You saw the tools... But I'll run down a list of the basic things you need to get started. Number 1 is and always will be a vice and a stable platform to hold it. Angle grinder for heavy cutting work. Grinding disks, more disks and more disks (this will be a pattern for all abrasive cutting tools, they wear out fast). Metal files. Sandpaper, sandpaper, and more sandpaper. Water bucket to cool off the steel so it doesn't change its crystalline microstructure. Saw. Knife. That's it. You can do everything he did in this video minus the etching with those few tools. To make things easier you can add a scroll saw, a bench grinder, a 1"-3" belt grinder, grinding belts, more grinding belts, milling machine, CNC etching machine, battery or acid to etch with, chisels, dremel tool, dremel bits, more dremel bits, leather punch, leather stitching supplies (sheath), kydex, kydex press, boiled linseed oil, tung oil, polyurethane, cerakote, forge, blacksmith's hammer, anvil, power hammer..... That's all I can think of right now lol.

If you start a project and the end result isn’t perfection that not a problem. You learned what came fairly easy and what was tough for you. Research and practice the things that gave you trouble and you will get better at it. Practice on something that is scrap then you can’t mess up and won’t be so worried about ruining the piece.

@Cascadejackal

4 жыл бұрын

Don't know about the paint (probably just normal spraypaint; it's there as a resist to protect the parts you don't want to etch, and spraypaint'll do the job fine), but the salt solution for the etching looks like a pretty standard mix. Water and salt, that's all. Get a container of warm water (warm water helps dissolve the salt) and pour in some salt. You don't need to be precise about measuring, just get it so that it's saturated/cloudy. Maybe... 1/8th to 1/6th of a cup of salt for each cup of water? If you want something a bit more aggressive, use vinegar instead of water. Just as a safety note, do it in a well-ventilated area, particuarly if you're using vinegar. The process creates nasty gas. Chlorine, IIRC. Small amounts, but not fun to expose your eyes to. Smells bad, too. Be sure to rinse your etched metal well afterwards to remove any leftover solution, or it'll rust quickly. I wouldn't suggest using a welding power supply, partly for safety, partly because it might be too aggressive. On small areas or things like letter and numbers, you can use a 9v battery for power. For larger areas, I find a 12v car battery charger does the job just fine.

Damn u know what im thinking

I know its meant as decoration, but practical side of me is tortured by ruined temper on the edge. I have done similar builds with old rusted axe heads but try to use trown away ones and keep the heat out of the blade by cooling it. You can even weld them, long as you keep the blade cooled. There is also some temper on the back side as its usually used as hammer. None of my work probably ends up used ever again, but i like to preserve its utility use how ever much i can.

Absolutely amazing!

Nice blend of techniques.

A few years back, a young lady I knew was being physically threatened, she mentioned her intention of buying a knife for defence. Why? I asked. Because she knew the person threatening her carried one. For reasons to complex to go into here, I agreed that a weapon would be appropriate, and we were talking about what would work. Suddenly I remembered that the lady was not only Native American, but that within her culture lay the perfect solution. A tomahawk. 8 hours of carefully scooping out dead weight and reshaping the head of a hickory handle shingling axe on clearance at Lowe’s produced an extremely light, but blade heavy weapon that in use was a joy to use. Unknowingly, something in the reshaped head made the blade, while at 90 degrees to the handle, feel as though it thrust into the target like the point of a small sword. To be honest it didn’t look like much, I didn’t have time to make it pretty, but when the final test, just a casual swing into a pork shoulder saw the blade penetrate 5” through tough skin and nick the bone in the center.... Change of plans honey. Remember earlier I said hit the asshole once in the upper body and run? She nodded. Well that’s gonna kill him, self defence or not you do not need that grief. I spent an hour teaching her how to fake high and chop into the outside of his quad, and break into a run in one motion. Three days later, he stalked her, the little ax was drawn cleanly from inside her long skirt. She said he laughed at it and lunged. She said she felt punch through his jeans then crunch when it hit bone, felt things rip as she yanked it out of his thigh, heard him shriek weirdly like wind through power lines, and she never looked back for a hundred feet. She turned. He was on the ground and not moving. Who knows what he told the ambulance or the cops, but my friend was never bothered. A tomahawk is not so different from Ragnar’s axe, and I know first hand what a devastating weapon it can be.

Blue Nights and Yellow Days by Matt Large.

Instead of etching it with salt and DC, you could have done with way faster with the process I use : Acid. make a mix of 30% of hydrogen peroxide and the rest of chlorydric acid (the one you find at the drug store, should be at around 30% concentration, no need to find conentrated one). Keep your paint masking process and just put it into the mix. You'll see it's way quicker and could also be way deeper. One good thing also : you can make the contour or you etching zone with wax (like the one around some cheeses), this way you don't have to immerge the whole piece, just create a "pool" around the zone anf fill it up with your mix. once you're done, use a sringe to remove the acid and simply rinse it with a solution of baking soda, it's a pH stabilizer (around 7), it will neutralise the acid and stop the etching.

Genius ! Easy way to make a viking axe. Cool great artwork.

Wow..very creative work! Enjoyed watching.

I was curious how you'd solve the problem of the axe being way to thick for a Viking axe, on account that grinding it down would likely spoil the temper of the toolsteel. But 3 minutes in, seeing you handfile makes me realize you do not plan to make this a Viking axe but just a decorated Hand axe. Oh well... At least a warning about not overheating of the steel when grinding would have been prudent. If the goal wasn't a Viking axe but a tool axe, then preserving the hardness would be advised.
