My crude leather mask for a Council Hudson Bay Axe

[Bushcraftdave]

Very crude, it's my first attempt. Used pop rivets and really basic tools. Tomorrow I'm going to take it to the sander and make it pretty. Then sand the handle down and oil it.

I'll be uploading a video of this on my channel this weekend, if anyone's interested: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpS...k_B3Np7cnkjnBA

Nothing crude about it. I need masks for several of my larger wood carving tools (draw knife and a couple of adzes.)
Question: what prevents the axe bevel edge from hitting the shafts of the rivets?

Looks sturdy and well made for the job. Tidy work.
