DSW Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Very nice. At some point I'd like to try and forge an adze and try to work with it. I've always been a fan of heavy timber framing and construction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cracker72 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Lovely! I bet they remove material aggressively. I make a lot of bowl carving adzes for customers from hammer heads. I would love to make them from scratch but the price most folk are prepared to pay for these things prohibits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockstar.esq Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 KYBOY Nice work. I was just reading one of Roy Underhill's books the other night and adzes were covered thoroughly. You did a great job. One difference I noted was that he mentioned that they should have pickaxe style handles so you can get the handle out of the way for sharpening the bevel. I suspect he was more interested in using a large sandstone grinding wheel for sharpening. Unless I'm much mistaken you've made what he calls a shipwrights lipped adze. Really nice work.
