The Birth of a Tool: Axe Making

Reading time: less than a minute.

The love of handmade tools is something many of us share, this short film by John Neeman Tools is an excellent look into what it takes to make an axe from scratch – including the handle and dual-density axe head. All in, the film is only 6:30 long and is well worth a watch.
