Day9
Just hanging out messing around with the camera... here's one of about a dozen shots I ended up with.
I used to be a lot of things, and someday will again.
But for now I'm just a lost jack of trades with neither mastery nor home. ~NoaIsumi

This mask got made with fairly thick leather (7-8oz, typical for a knife sheath. I guess some people prefer 8-9oz.).  Really it's the welt that protects the edge (and you from the edge), so I think you could use thinner material as long as you use a sturdy bit of material for the welt. (And I added those Chicago screws for a little extra protection.)

For overall durability and protection, I'd go with a stout leather (like I did). I know not everyone uses a weight system to measure the leather, my 3 layers (side, welt, opposite side) measure about 7/16" at the edge (compressed).


Awesome info here!  Thank you! :cheers:


Gonna see what I could get, hopefully get it done in time before the end of this challenge!

Day 9 update

This is the edge after I unsmurfed it with a file and chopped it into the end of a log instead of the dirt

Day 10

Five to 10 minutes with some diamond stones and a strop (which I need to recharge with compound) and it feels sharp again

Good stuff everyone :tu:

I'm a bit envious of you guys that can take your axes into the kitchen and do food prep with them, if i tried that with any of my rusty relics i would end up with a tetanus sandwich or if my other half caught me she would take it off me and ram it up my jacksy, so i thought i would make my own kitchen friendly axe  :tu:

My all time favourite hatchet is the Karesuando mini hunters axe ..



Not really for chopping firewood, it's a hunters axe so more for chopping meat and skinning beasts and occasional branch i think but a more beautiful axe you are not likely to find, i have wanted one for quite some time but they are very expensive and i have other things sucking my money at the moment so what to do? Well, as it's Choptober i figured i would have a go at modding my own version  :cheers:

Some of you may remember this, i posted it earlier in the year when i dug it up ...



It's changed a bit since then, and now looks like this ..



Just needs a final polishing and it should slice and dice with the best of them  :tu:

Of course with most things i make it will evolve, i might grind off the poll a bit and thin out the handle a bit more but its a good start

Solving problems you didn't know you had in the most obscure way possible

"And now, it's time to hand this over to our tame race axe driver. Some say, he can live in the forest for six months at a time without food, and he knows of a secret tribe of only women where he is their God. All we know is, he's call the Styx!" - TazzieRob

no worries, all toes are still there. first time i ever used an axe as a kid, I hit myself. after that I was a lot more careful and valued precision over power
