good morning let's make a single-handed battle-ax oops what's that oh I never
let my political views be known here's all you're gonna need a hammer and a saw
blade that you don't need anymore a couple of carriage bolts and here's the
shape of the axe and the only tool you're gonna need I have a plasma cutter
that I'm gonna cut these up with you could use an angle grinder and just cut
slots around this it would be a lot harder doing it that way I have done it
that way before I had my plasma cutter but uh fixing using a plasma cutter to
do that so that's really be the hardest part of this job is cutting them arcs
out they're not with my plasma cutter okay there we go cut out I'm gonna put
this on my grinder and cleaned it up and we'll go from there
all right I got it shaped for lack of a better word and you know you could have
cut this up with a with a oxy acetylene torch as well and I was wrong about
that's the only tool you're gonna need I put this on my bandsaw to make it wide
enough to fit this
now I need to drill a couple holes all the way through this and I want to miss
that big hole there so I'll have to drill it up here and down here also I'm
going to take a angle grinder with a sanding disc on it and sand all that
paint off so it'll look shiny and new like the rest of it okay holes drilled I
got this thing cleaned up both sides now put it on here and put these bolts
through here and then I'm gonna have to trim the end of this off but let me get
this put together first oops here we go I'm gonna put paracord I'm gonna wrap it
in paracord here I'm gonna stain this and I'm gonna put some clear on it I'm
gonna stain it probably dark oak and I'm going to cut them off round them off on
the grinder make them look old or at least not stand out so much but what I
generally do is before I tighten these up real tight I give them a few cranks
every couple hours you know and then come back and get a quarter turn another
quarter turn another quarter turn and it sucks these down into the wood pretty
good and you never have to do it again after you do that so let me let this set
I got some friends coming over and after they leave I'll come back up put a few
more turns on this and then finish this up and then tonight I'll put a pair of
cord handle on it
all right two more coats of clear and tonight I will paracord wrap that handle
and you know what I think I'm gonna give this away from my thirty thousand
subscriber giveaway just a little novelty all right we're not done two
more coats and then paracord I'll when I get it inside and it's all dry I'll show
you the handle all right one on one do now is put a paracord handle on it
