Remaking axe - decorating a cheap axe to Viking inspired axe
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
In this tutorial I’ll remake and decorate a cheap axe to a Viking axe. I decorated and modified the axe head and I also decorated the axe handle. I made this axe so I could continue to work on my electro-etching skills. First I removed the axe head and cut it with an angle grinder. Then electro-etched the axe head and the plates on the handle. For etching I used water, vinegar, salt and a power source. I added some brass decoration and leather on the handle too. I rebuild this axe from the cheapest axe I could find, so it was a quite small axe. So maybe the right term is hatchet? Anyway I hope this leads me to make something more better looking in the future. It’s a small axe so I didn’t waste much money anyway.

I tried something different this time, but I hope you liked it! Any feedback is welcome. Was the music too loud? Did you miss the narrative from last videos? Pepsi or coke? Too many questions?

Thank you very much for your feedback! I'll try to find more relaxing & quiet music next time, I'm using my phone to record so the tool sounds alone might sound boring. And I already have few projects ready and I'll release the videos later, just going to finish two builds, hopefully soon!
💪💯
Very nice work 👍

Does the cutting by grinder in this way over heat the steel? You had to temper it again?
The only thing I think could be improved is if you adhered the conic wedge to the top plate before putting it in it would have a stronger bond. Other than that it looks amazing, great work man

Excellent work! & a GREAT source of inspiration for me, I'm working on a small axe right now. Not sure which masking paint would be the best to use, you said "alkyd"?

Thank you! Yes be sure to use primer paint, that will stick better and won't come of accidentally

What did you use for a resist? I’m new to all of this, and just want to make sure I don’t completely wreck my first attempt…..

Do you mean the paint? It's primer spray paint, that will stick better than normal spray. I've had many failed projects myself so I understand your worry :) You cand try the etching on some junk piece first so it won't matter if something goes wrong
I like to have a axe you making. Let me have a price!
What kind of paint did you use?
