Nick Brodsky Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Hey people I'm at the point of wanting to step up my forging of large stock a bit mostly in the form of axes. What do you guys recommend for a next step I was thinking a log splitter press mostly because I've heard good things about them online and they often fit in my 600 dollar budget but is there a better option? Thanks for any help:) PS What forum would I ask about where to find axe steel with out having to buy it new. Thanks. Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Sells Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 If you look through the forum here you will notice we have an axe section. New steel for axes is less than $4 a pound if that is too expencive I suggest reevaluating your ideas. Used steels are never a good idea for bladed weapons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Brodsky Posted July 26, 2019 Author Share Posted July 26, 2019 Thanks again Steve what supplier would you recommend for a axe I did a quick search through the list and saw a few good looking options but was wondering if you had a personal favorite.
