tompdw Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Hello everyone, I am trying to make a battleaxe. I started out with the intent of making a tomahawk sized axe but it got a little large and heavy. Could anyone offer some suggestions on mounting it to a handle? The back part will have a point when I am done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
son_of_bluegrass Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I'm aware of 3 ways to attach a handle to something like this. Bore a hole, drift a hole or lash a split handle on. If you can provide more detail of what you want to do and pictures from the top and bottom (to see if there is enough room to bore or drift a hole) you'll get better answers. ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I use a hammer handle drift to make an eye that will take a regular sledge handle hammer for things like that---we just did a warhammer last Sunday: slit an appropriate sized hole, rough drift open with a bull pin drift, final drift with the hammer handle drift from both sides; done.
