Garrick found a cool video of some guy crafting a tiny battle axe out of nail stock on youtube. So we gave it a shot!! Lots of fun. Note: steel nails are a LOT harder than IRON. Much of the shaping came from grinding in the end. Our pounding techniques mostly made strange pancake shapes. Practice makes perfect I guess...
A few steps are missing from the photos. But the axe head is made from the upper end of a large nail, and the handle is made from a smaller nail with the end riveted (smashed) into the cavity we drilled.
