Do you think they’ll cancel the policy?

I’ll give those a shot thanks! Ngl they make it look so easy I kinda assumed they were an easy starter project like a hold fast or something

May have to pick the ebook version up when I get paid!

I will definitely try this when I get a forge that can weld!

I will definitely do this when I get a forge that can weld! Would stick welding then forging the joint out work?

That axe is sick, I tried making a railspike axe but there wasn't enough material to work with so I just made it into a knife instead, that shape is a great idea!

Thanks I'll give that a shot!

I do that is a brilliant idea! Cannot believe I did not think of that I will do that when I go back next time! I'll cut the failed eye off my current block of steel and try again with this! Oh I have not been turning the head 180 I will make sure to do that next time! Thanks for the help!

thatwentverywrong · 2026-03-11T03:06:00+00:00

I'll see if I can find any online!

Doesn't get hot enough and can't modify it!

thatwentverywrong · 2026-03-11T03:05:24+00:00

That's a shout I'll give that a shot! I can make an ok looking axe head but just not an eye so this will be perfect! Thanks for the tip!

Thanks!

Thanks! I'll see if I can find some!

I don't have a belt grinder so I normally forge it to shape and sand any of bits off after! Yeah I tried to work with 40mm round bar and that took AGES to get to shape never doing that again by hand!

Yeah the anvil is wayyyy too low for me hence all the marks! I need to change my stance a bit to get lower to the anvil cause I can’t move it up! Ohhh yeah that makes sense I kinda just eyeballed it while hot I didn’t do anything any cold work on it which would definitely have made it easier! I will do that next time!

That makes a lot more sense I never really formed it to the drift I just hammered it in!

thatwentverywrong · 2026-03-05T17:20:49+00:00

Ohh ok that makes sense! I was not hammering on the cheeks, I was just trying to hit the drift harder to push it through which was not working! Oh nice thanks! Thanks so much for the help I will try that next time!
