#hatchet #axemaking #family

Hey everyone,

no rust this time. This video is all about family business, after my father passed away unexpected for all of us in January, I'm finally finishing two hatchets that I want to give to my two sisters as a remembrance of our father. My younger sister forged the hatchet heads herself in a blacksmithing class and gave me the forged blanks so that I can finish them on my channel one day. A year later, it's the right time to tackle this honorable task.
My father was an enthusiastic woodsman in his hobby, which is why the axes have a special meaning for me. They should remind my sisters of our father and also remind them that he gave them all the tools they needed to master all the challenges in life.
The fact that I am giving the hatchets shows that I also received all my manual skills from my father.
After first preparing the eyes of the axe heads for the handles (I had to enlarge them slightly and weld two cracks shut), I give the heads their final axe shape and then polish them up.
I make the axe handles from pear wood with individual laminations of cherry and multilaminate or purple heart. In addition, both axe handles get palm rests in the handles for a better grip. I make these from bloodwood and also purple heart to make the most beautiful axe handle for each hatchet.
Last but not least, I make leather sheaths to protect the blade and the carrier when carrying and leather protectors for the wooden handle in case a hit is missed.
The results are really something special and my sisters were delighted.
Finally, of course, there was a beer. This time I'm testing a "Giesinger" from munich and this beer is also something very special.

Stay healthy.
