Didn’t have an axe drift and too broke and didn’t have the time to order one and wait for it to get here, so I grabbed a hammer bit from the rental place and forged one, this thing was shaped like a 2”x 2” X2” cube meat tenderizer at the end lots and lots of forging

I love seeing different from different makers and it helps me see a bigger picture

Jason Knight was talking about the Chile Forge on one of his Youtube streams, He spoke very highly of the ones he had

thank you for showing this! I will definitely keep that in mind and watch for them

Nothing going on until I get my welder fixed, I traded a Rem 700 22-250 whose barrel I had wOrn out, to a friend for an almost new ESAB 141i Fabricator welded about 2 years ago. In my non welderness I ran it too hard and overheated the gun and melted the plastic stuff in the grip that holds...

That’s awesome! I just inherited my grandfathers checkering tools, I’m itching to try them out on some small pieces of wood I’ve got laying around!

I think Ed probably gives as much, if not more advice in PM on here and on FB. He really really tries to help educate people.

I don’t like the 5160 mild steel combo, it feels weird under the hammer, even at welding heat there is a major difference in how soft the mild steel is vs the 5160, it spreads laterally really fast and you really gotta keep on top of squaring your edges up. I have a lot of 5160 and shop funds...

Forged out another camp axe. Mild steel body with a 5160 bit forge welded in. The handle is American hickory.

stand upwind when you burn the used portions, speaking from experience, the more diesel you pour onto the fire the better the smell coming off of it.

I think I will like them better when I get a buffer, I hand sanded that handle to 2500 grit.... I'd like have them have a nice luster to them

I need to buy a buffer, I sanded this micarta to 2500 grit

Knife is done now it’s time for a sheath

Are you going for an elongated diamond blade cross section or are you doing a triangle shape? I made a letter opener for my wife this winter and that grind was really fun, I think it would be more fun on a bigger thicker piece, I kind of want to try forging the bevels in on one. I have some .270...

When you guys go to shows and get your tables set up you should post pics on here for us newbs to look at!

I’ve heard of guys using them for shaping axe and tomahawk and hammer handles as well.

Almost done, just needs a few little kinks ironed out of the handle and a sheath

So.. I forgot this knife was a WIP, I have it all glued up and ready for handle profiling and shaping tonight

I want one! Lol
