Mark630 Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Hey everyone! I was looking to do a wrapped eye axe with a poll. I was wondering what everyone would recommend for a starting size for the mild steel body, especially the thickness of the steel to start with. Looking to make a 2-2.5lb axe when all is done for a 28” boys axe. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latticino Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 You could do worse than following the video from Mark Aspery: I have done similar with good results. You can also start with thinner stock and forge weld on a poll before doing the wrap. Lots of different ways to achieve this. I can't view the video at work, so am not sure if he gives the sizes. There is also a step by step in an issue of Hammer's Blow (the ABANA publication). If you still need sizes, I can go through my notes tonight. Good luck.
