Hammer head axe

[kristophish]

I've been wanting to have a go at making an axe for a while but punching and drifting the eye was my biggest problem.

So I decided to try one from a 2lb ball pein.

Not to shabby for a first attempt if I do say so my self. It needs more work but nearly there

Looks good bud. I started one of them years ago. Lots of work involved so well done indeed. Do post pics once you've got it finished. All the best Andy

Aye Up,

Cracking job, you can see already that it will end up a very nice looking piece of kit. Using it will be all the more satisfying knowing that you created it.

Looks great dude!

if you have any more trouble with the eye, get a die grinder for a drill, it'll clean it up and widen with no issues.

Got a picture of the head post forging? must have been pretty big..!
