Forging a Viking Axe from random junk I’ve had laying around my shop for ages. I take a quick dive into the forge to forge weld some scrap leaf spring to an old axe head, shape the handle from an old ash baseball bat, and finally top it all of with some creatively sourced leather for the handle wrap. This was a fun little project, although it wasn’t as brutally time consuming as some of my other builds, the end result is badass.
I intended for this build to be a little different than my others, instead of retaining a wasteland aesthetic from the components I wanted to really test the potential of these materials by transforming junk into a work of art. I love the final product, not only is it beautiful, but the thing packs a serious punch. Enjoy the fast paced, no BS build video; thanks for watching!
