Hello to all lovers homemade. Today we will learn how to make a simple ax without much effort from a wrench. This idea belongs to the author of YouTube channel "miller knives". I will try to convey to you the entire manufacturing process and I hope that you will not have any difficulties in its manufacture. This ax is good in that it is strong, light and it holds sharpening well.
Well, let's begin, it will take
Wrench
Hammer
Horn
Belt grinding machine
Grinding disc
Step 1. Shaping
At this stage, the wrench warms up to red in the hearth (this is done so that the steel becomes more elastic and can be molded). Then, with the help of a hammer, an ax and a wedge are formed on the anvil.
Step 2. Grinding and removal
The next step is grinding the workpiece, then with a felt-tip pen it marks the shape of an ax and removes the excess with the help of a belt grinding machine. (Before grinding, it is possible to harden steel. To do this, you need to heat the workpiece to white and lower it into engine oil) And finally, the entire workpiece is again ground.
Step 3: forming the blade
Now the author forms a blade on a grinding machine (the longer and thinner the blades, the sharper the ax will be). After the blade, the wedge is sharpened. Well that's all, the ax is ready you can enjoy. I hope I explained it intelligibly (but just in case there is a video below). ATP for viewing, put likes.
