How to make an ax “in reverse”
Those who like to make fun of their friends will appreciate the idea of a comic ax of a non-standard shape, in which the blade and butt are swapped. Despite its unusual nature, it is quite functional and can be used for its main purpose.
Materials:
- regular axe;
- wooden ax;
- sheet steel 2 mm;
- black paint.
Process of making an inverted ax
The handle of an ordinary ax from a hardware store is knocked out. If it is plastic, then its butt is heated to melt the glue. After this, the handle will come out with a little effort.
The ax is applied to a sheet of paper and traced, you need to get its exact pattern. Then it is cut out. The template is turned over and applied to the ax back to front, and outlined with a marker. The result is almost a rectangle on the blade.
Next, the blade is cut along the lines. The cut off toe and heel will no longer be needed.
After this, it is necessary to make instead of them blendes from sheet steel bent in half, and weld them to the butt.
It is necessary to recreate the shape of the blade on the butt.It is important that the homemade toe and heel, when bent, have sufficient clearance between the walls for stuffing the ax.
The converted ax is sanded to remove the weld seam and painted black.
The paint is removed along the edge of the fake blade to imitate sharpening. Then the handle is installed.
When looking at the ax from the side, it is completely unclear how this is possible. If someone from the outside sees how they chop wood, they will be very surprised.
