Thanks alot :) The zebrano and bocote are glued yes, and the wedges are glued to the inside of the hole but not directly to the tang. I am still finetuning and testing this construction method, but so far it has worked very well for the knives i have made this way.

A simple axe mask to go with it:

Thanks alot! it basically means to hot cut a hole in the axe with a hot cut chisel, after that the eye is forged on a series of, so called, drifts (mandrels) to get the final shape!

Thanks alot! I have been toying with the idea to start selling these, hopefully soon!

Now the bit is sharp!

A bit of contouring:

Thank you! Here is the progress on the handle so far:

Hello again, it's been a while, my journeymans test is now over, so i can concentrate a bit on axemaking again! Here is my latest in the making As forged: As it sits now after grinding and heat treatment: And a quick touch up on the edge to check for cracks: All good, now onto...

Yes the you need a good clean hot fire, and many welding heats to ensure a full weld! Charcoal and a hair dryer is probably not going to get you there, but i started with exactly the same! Thanks for the kind words, much appreciated! No orders at the moment, my journeymans test is coming up...

Hi Tommy, and thanks! In this case the axe was constructed in a bow-tie manner, ie without slitting and drifting a hole but simply just folding the material back on itself after forging recesses in the steel, and i don't have a powerhammer either :) Peder Visti

Thank you! The initial edge is ground on a 50mm belt grinder with a coarse 40 grit belt, after this i go to a small homemade discgrinder made to use 150mm velcro discs. Here i do the convex grind pre heat treat, after heat treat i start at 120 grit on the disc sander and go up all the way to...

Hello again! I have yet to get bored of axemaking, and i am always finding myself coming back to the subject. Here is another one, the construction method is symmetrically wrapped with a medium-carbon edge bit! It started out as a piece of mild steel, with the dimensions 12x35x190mm, and a...
