The main stages of work
Then you need to light a gas mini horn to heat the fittings. First you need to heat the fittings in the middle and fold the bar in half.
At the next stage, it will be necessary to give the future ax a tomahawk concrete form. This is convenient to do on a blacksmith anvil with a horn.
Then you need to scald the handle of the ax, after which you need to make a point on the butt. To perform the last operation, you will need to reheat the edge of the reinforcement in the furnace, and then work a little with a hammer.
Next, you will need to grind the workpiece, as well as sharpen the blade of the ax and the point on the butt. For this, the master uses a belt grinder and a grinder. Then the blade will need to be hardened.
