Benton Frisse Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Finished this one a few weeks ago. Forged from 1x2x3 mild with a leaf spring bit. Found fractures from the spring, I think, once I was doing some final grinding. I worked the bit nice and hot, so I'm thinking it was from previous fractures. Came out right at a pound and a half and stuck it on a cheap Link handle from Rural King. Can't wait to make more like this, my Brent Bailey axe drift is my new favorite tool! Next time, i'll make sure I set my bit further back so I don't have that nasty line where the bit meets the mild steel. All welds are solid. it's a little dirty here, I had already gave it a few test runs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin Quade Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Looks fantastic! Shame about the weld line though personally i like things like this in my work if they arent detremental to the functionality of the piece. I like being able to point to things like this when describing the work to people to better illustrate what was done while making the piece. I didnt see any fractures though, can you take a close up of the issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
