Skull Axe build

My Etsy shop: www.etsy.com/de/shop/Madebyth...
Yeah I know ... it's more of an art object than a normal axe for everyday use. But it works really well for it. And it's way cooler than an Old Axe. A Scary Helloween Axe 👻 The filler metal is harder than normal filler metal. I am totally happy with the result.

Hallo Dirk, das ist nicht verrückt, das ist Kunst. Wenn das keine "Kopie" ist, dann hast Du ein sehr gutes Vorstellungsvermögen.

Hi Dieter, hatte lange gesucht ob es sowas schonmal gab hatte aber nicht gefunden 😅 oft ist es auch so das das Ergebnis besser wird weil man sich manche sachen garnicht richtig vorstellen kann. Und sich das dann erst beim bauen entwickelt 😅

[@jpsimon206]

You are so skilled! I think the projects that you have done that mimic body parts are the most impressive. There's something about the comparison to classical art that really elevates what you're doing. I hope you don't mind, but I would like to make a suggestion. I think you need to attempt a female nude. It could make a pretty cool ax head with kind of a wavy edge representing the profile of the nude. In the art world, drawing or sculpting hands is often considered the most difficult thing. Your fist hammer came out incredibly. I really think that this relationship with classical art is the best way to get your work noticed by a larger audience than metal workers and tradesmen that can recognize how difficult the medium is. I think by slightly shifting the focus of your work, this can become considered art by a crowd with no interest in tools or techniques. Good luck! I really think you deserve this recognition

[@TheMetalist]

Nice words Thank you 😁

[@rv-eb3wu]

I thought your Iron fist hammer was the ultimate mix of art and function but now I think this axe has just told it to move over and is taking it's number one spot.

I think a little bit of rust on it would look cool, like in the eye sockets or on the teeth. How did you mirror from one side to the other? Because if I were to do that one eye would be a half inch lower than the other.

Hi Dirk! Along with the Ironfist, this is really a piece of art; I'm not sure I could really use for chopping woods, I would feel afraid of ruining it. I also discovered a lot of new things by paying attention: you not only used a dremel, but also at 4:01 there's flexshaft for a die grinder. I've never seen one, who makes it? Also the attachments for the angle grinder at 3:17 are nice, who makes them? Last: what model is your face shield?

[@onionhead5780]

If you want a commercial quality excellent tool then I recommend a Foredom Flex Shaft. I used one every single day as a gunsmith for 20 plus years and it will last a lifetime with no issues. If you just want one as a hobby then Dremal makes flex shafts that are inexpensive. Good luck. ✌️

[@TheMetalist]

Thank you 😁 I like the flexshaft from dremel. Maybe not the strongest Bus light, small and cheap. The other on is a big one, it is from Metabo. The attachments for the grinder is from Pferd, M14 to Roloc.

[@TheMetalist]

And the face shield is from 3M (Versaflo)
