I took an arm full of them down to Kenny Rowe to have the edges covered. I decided that I would not have this many gathered up at once ever again so I snapped a shot.
These are almost two months worth of research and developement in figuring out the forging process. I think I have it down to where I can consistently forge one of these in two or three basic looks as well as different sizes including the handles.

now that's a pile of axes!!
Wow Lin, thats a big pile of cool!
I'm drooling! Wow, is that a great looking pile of craftsmanship, function, and hard work!
That's a lot of hammering! Nice to see so many in one place!
Nice collection!
I really like Kenny's minimalist edge guards. I made a cover for my full-sized ax and wasted a lot of leather and time covering the entire head.
Live and learn :)
That pile looks about 4 axe handles wide. Very nice!
Thank you guys.
You notice that there is a knife in the midst of the axes. I was digging around in one of my closets and saw that knife from a few years ago. It's a JS knife but not really up to par with what I was trying to do so I had it stuck away sort of hidden. I showed it to my wife and she wanted it. So, I had a sheath made for it. I think she likes it.
Very nice display of cutting tools. I would say you have it figured out.

incredible lin i have a real soft spot for axes.
Looks like the handle on one near the upper right is awfully short, Lin! Love your axes/hatchets. The "edge protectors" look great too and are perfect for a tool that will be strapped to or carried in a pack, as opposed to being carried on my body.

Lin nice collection!
That's a great picture Lin.
I love a tool that's all about function and those have it all over :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :notworthy:
Cool.
Cool x2!
