The main "raw material" for the manufacture of this unusual "miracle" ax is pieces of metal and other unnecessary trash that is lying around in a garage or workshop. Despite such a "meager" set of components, the finished tool looks just unrealistically cool. Let's not waste time in vain, and immediately get to work.
Step-by-step ax manufacturing process
The first step is to make a handle or hatchet tool. And for this, pieces of a steel pipe of 32 mm diameter, different in size, are perfect. Also, for work, pipe sockets for 32 mm and even parts from an old screw lock are useful. In general, everything that catches your eye can be put into action.
Then all the elements of the handle are adjusted and interconnected by welding. The canvas of the ax can be made of sheet steel. To do this, you need to take two sheets of metal that are suitable in size, use the template to draw the contours of the canvas and cut it off with a grinder. Next, two halves of the fabric are welded together at an angle of 8-12 degrees.
After that, a blank on the hatchet is welded to the reinforced cloth. At the place where the wedge will be located in the ax, a “plug” is welded from the nut and part of the screw lock. A reclining peak with a locking mechanism made from the hook of a car automatic transmission is mounted on the ax butt.
A homemade bracket with spikes made of bolts is welded to the handle, and the upper and lower parts of the ax blade are welded with pieces of sheet metal. When the main parts of the ax are welded, it remains only to weld different steel "little things" for a more original appearance and to clean the surface. See the video for a detailed ax manufacturing process.
