My take on a mini-hatchet

[Imagedude]

Had a go at making a mini hatchet last weekend:

Small 1LB hammer head in the forge

A few I started to make earlier

One of the first off the production line

The first three, I'm still experimenting with the shape

Fresh out of the oven

Next to my hook for scale, the heads weigh 8oz each

Now they are looking really good!

 

[mrcairney]

Excellent stuff. Are you powerhammering them down or just using a weighty hammer?

 

[Imagedude]

I've got a powerhammer

Looks good to me.
I do like the beard on them.
