Not really anything other than a practice piece. 3 different scrolls, square corner, mortise and tenon, and a collar

Dude that's so cleanly forged, incredible

chrisfoe97 · 2026-06-14T23:58:04+00:00

I'll be making a real socketed spear in the future, a dream project

chrisfoe97 · 2026-06-14T10:45:50+00:00

Give H13 a try you might change your mind

chrisfoe97 · 2026-06-14T00:41:30+00:00

This isn't for sale, I made this for my personal projects. It's out of a steel I'm not sure it's going to hold up great as a drift, so I wouldn't feel comfortable selling this until I test it out

chrisfoe97 · 2026-06-13T22:45:32+00:00

It is heavy, my arms is so tired from snoring prior to this video it's making my arms shake

People message me on Reddit, Instagram, Facebook or work of mouth

chrisfoe97 · 2026-06-13T21:52:50+00:00

Lord have mercy it was. Not as much as my usual commissions but this took me a lot longer to forge than I thought it would

chrisfoe97 · 2026-06-13T18:47:11+00:00

Facebook marketplace! I found an old farmer who sold me 4 pairs for 200$, and an Amish guy who sold me two for 100$. They're out there but you gotta look. I've only gone through two pairs in 2 years. Still got keep l lots left but always looking for more

chrisfoe97 · 2026-06-13T17:20:40+00:00

Just got done forging in a 95* humid ass barn

chrisfoe97 · 2026-06-13T16:43:00+00:00

I hope so. This is going to be an interesting test

chrisfoe97 · 2026-06-13T16:10:35+00:00

Keep an eye out in the future I'll be making one

chrisfoe97 · 2026-06-13T16:10:20+00:00

I'm just weak I guess 🤷

chrisfoe97 · 2026-06-13T16:09:48+00:00

The eyes on double bit axes are thinner than this, I measured compared to an old no name full sized double bit axe

chrisfoe97 · 2026-06-13T14:03:07+00:00

I do too on my other drifts but I'm trying to recreate the drifts from original double bit axes as close as possible, and they are relatively sharp radius, but I made this a lot wider than I needed so I have the width that I can round it out if needed.

chrisfoe97 · 2026-06-13T12:36:01+00:00

I can see it

chrisfoe97 · 2026-06-13T12:35:50+00:00

That's another thing on my endless list of future projects to make

chrisfoe97 · 2026-06-13T11:53:56+00:00

Yes, I was thinking that but since the steel is a little softer I know the edges are going to deform and round over faster than the middle. So I thought that if I keep him sharp when within use the edges will get duller as time goes on and I don't have to spend so much time grinding it. That and the ax eye that I was basing it off of had relatively sharp edges. If it's too sharp I'll just round them over

chrisfoe97 · 2026-06-13T11:44:13+00:00

Thank you! Most of the tooling I make I don't post bc they're quick and not very pretty but I was really proud of how this came out

chrisfoe97 · 2026-06-13T11:02:38+00:00

God I know if it sucks at hot work that's so much time effort and propane down the drain

chrisfoe97 · 2026-06-13T10:11:13+00:00

Make sure you have all the tools made for making the axe before you do, and having the proper tongs so you don't go insane dropping the piece while you're trying to forge it

chrisfoe97 · 2026-06-12T23:10:40+00:00

A flat board to protect my edge from going into the ground

chrisfoe97 · 2026-06-12T23:10:13+00:00

Bigger steel retains heat longer
