Before I even started this seemingly simple project it was destined to fail. The plan was to shape the axe head and give it a polished finish then add a round shaped handle. After I started cutting the axe head I realised I needed to forge the eye of the axe head to a more round shape, but at the moment I don't have anything that would have got the axe hot enough to reforge it or harden and temper it afterwards.
(I should of realised that first, Must have been one of them days)
As I couldn't reshape the eye, making a round handle like a regular tomahawk axe was now no longer an option so I just shaped a long oval shaped handle. When I had finished I was less than impressed with the finished article, Then as I thought it couldn't get any worse after editing and rendering the video most of the audio is missing!!!!
I have tried over and over again to get the audio fixed but I cannot figure it out. So I am sorry for the lack of audio.
Overall this project was a massive failure and probably not worth uploading, but after the time and effort I put into the axe and the editing I couldn't just bin the footage.
If you are also underwhelmed with the finished product let me know in the comments below and spread the disappointment

Ahhhhh Well, On to the next one....
