Just posted(double) of an axehead I made yesterday. I like to make these and give away to people. They are from my old farrier files. I bend it over, leaving about 1" overhang. Hammerweld, then bend the overhang over and hammer weld it giving the blade more bulk, plus when sharpening I don't sharpen the weld. Great for the small stuff.

Looks like you do a good job on them. Thanks for posting. :D

Really nice! :)

It's always the little touches that make things so different - your idea about a fold over the leading edge is really brilliant! Thanks for sharing.

I really like your axe heads Mikel.
The texturing from the teeth really makes it stand out.
I'm curious, do the teeth along the cheeks and around the eye of the axe ever cause the axe to bind up when splitting wood?

Thanks for sharing.

Haven't really noticed any problems. But with this one it is only light work as the head is not very heavy. Splitting kindling to start a fire is not big work.

I have a weakness for tools/knives made from rasps. That is a well-made ax sir! :D

Nice job.
I have a similar one I acquired a few years back made by Ken Purdy in Georgia.
Maybe one day I'll make one myself. I'll definitely use that 1" overhang idea of yours.
