How to make a DIY mini axe from an old saw blade

 























Tools and materials I propose:

Stick welder

Grinder / belt sander

Tormek T8 Sharpening System

Angle grinder

Metal cutting discs

Lathe

Wood turning tools set

Mineral oil

Wire Burning Kit

Bandsaw


In this video I make a small axe out of an old table saw blade. I also turned a mahogany handle for it, on the lathe. 


I begun by cutting the shape of the axe using my grinder. 


I then used my stick welder to weld the blade with a piece of metal pipe. 


I then cleaned the welds with my small grinder and my rotary tool.


After polishing the blade a little bit, I created the bevel on my bench grinder. I did the final sharpening on my Tormek T8. 


I then turned the handle out of a piece of mahogany. 


I then connected the blade with the handle. I used a small wedge to keep things really tight.


I finished the handle with mineral oil.


My little axe was ready at this point. You can certainly use it for small jobs but I think I will keep it as a decorative piece.


But that was it. See you soon with a new project video.
