My first successful tomahawk

[usulrah]

Forged from a old ball peen hammer the haft is hickory which I've burnt. The finish is rough as guts but this is just for me to fuck around with and more me trying to learn the forging part

And my failures

Not bad for your first time imo. I'm a machinist but I have never done anything like that. How long did it take to make?

 

[ithinktheymad]

Well wasn't the first time I tried was the first I didn't fuck up in a catastrophic way hahaha

Didn't time but was bout 4 hrs forging
4 hrs heat treat ( that has a lot of time with me doing nothing)
Then prob 3 hrs grinding and finishing

Great job! You must have a great sense of accomplishment. I certainly would.
