Dan,
I started laughing when I was reading what you wrote. It was a bit of work to create this. I did this for a couple reasons.
1. I have like 20+ spikes
2. Trial to see how to form it and the steps to do it in, how to form the handles
3. Try the technique of burning the handles onto the tangs.
4. Practice, practice, practice (I think :rolleyes:)
I know it probably won't hold an edge, but it was fun to create. My dad also has an old logging saw (unusable) that he has hanging up, this is actually going to go to him for fathers day to hang as well.
Thanks for watching and commenting with the helpful advice. I will be making another one, but out of better material.
