Forged Splitting Ax with Handle Guard

One of the ways to make the axe handle live longer is to protect it with additional reinforcement. At the same time, to make it a beautiful part of the axe, as a result, it turned out to forge such an axe for chopping firewood.
The weight of the head was: 1.5kg
The length of the handle: 550mm

Beautiful work demonstrating real finesse when using the press. Really appreciate the handle guard, although I imagined the axe was going to be bigger (not a criticism, just my thoughts), but it looks like it works very well. Thanks for sharing this.

What sort of camera setup do you use? The lighting is absolutely stellar. Also you should definitely film the process of making a handle if you're going to do another tool, because the handle looks nice. Also do you do custom commission work? This is the kind of skill and craftsmanship that I'm looking for, and is one of the nicest I've ever seen.

The settings are different, depending on the moment of shooting, everything is solved by a softbox and another lamp. While I'm only shooting the forging, another master makes the pen so that the videos come out more often and faster. Thank you for your support and kind words

@@Owl_axe I'm also curious if you do custom work for a price.
