Good steel was scarce so as little of it was used as possible.. 905 posts Well we are going ot use the coal forge with a hand cranked blower. Remember, no electricity Location (Appalachia), eastern, Kentucky We use a large deep fire to weld in and bank the coal up. *Heres a pic of the axe head ready for its first welding pass. The eye roughly formed and the high carbon bit in place... *After the very first welding pass, as you can see it still needs a couple more before starting any other magor work.. http://www.iforgeiron.com/topic/22286-traditional-trade-axe-wrap-weld-construction-wip/#entry227064 1 / 11 Traditional Trade Axe "wrap & weld" construction WIP - Axes, Hawks, Spears, etc - I Forge Iron 11/19/2012 *Ok, at this point its been three welding heats and the drift as been used the first time to set the eye shape. It wll be used again in a step or two for the final shaping. You will see a pic of it there.. Here is where you see how good your weld is We use a fuller to forge a notch in the bottom of the blade. The edge of the anvil can be used as well. If your welds not right here you'll bust the head apart! *Ok, now the head is ready for shaping. You know that funny looking thing on the back of your smithing hammer???? This is what its for, spreading the blade out wide http://www.iforgeiron.com/topic/22286-traditional-trade-axe-wrap-weld-construction-wip/#entry227064 2 / 11 Traditional Trade Axe "wrap & weld" construction WIP - Axes, Hawks, Spears, etc - I Forge Iron 11/19/2012 *Here we have spread the blade out and am getting ready to square it up to profile.. *Now we use the drift for final adjustments on the eye since about all the heavy forging is done. You can true it up again later if needed.. http://www.iforgeiron.com/topic/22286-traditional-trade-axe-wrap-weld-construction-wip/#entry227064 3 / 11 Traditional Trade Axe "wrap & weld" construction WIP - Axes, Hawks, Spears, etc - I Forge Iron 11/19/2012 *Alright, since your using mild steel for the body its going to forge at a differnt rate than the high carbon. It will spread out over the high carbon completely jacketing it. The edge of the blade needs to be trimmed up. Again since we dont know what a 2" x 72" grinder is we are using a handled hot cut to trim it up.. *Again no electricity so no grinder..We put it in the vise and hot rasp the head.. http://www.iforgeiron.com/topic/22286-traditional-trade-axe-wrap-weld-construction-wip/#entry227064 4 / 11 Traditional Trade Axe "wrap & weld" construction WIP - Axes, Hawks, Spears, etc - I Forge Iron 11/19/2012 *Here we have a close final shape, stamped with a touch mark. Any filework on the spine and stoning will be done cold..This is what it would pretty much look like as a trade axe. We did go ahead and hot rasp the edge and set the bevels but you cant tell it here..Here we would have brought the edge up to temp and quenched it in the slack tub. Then final sharpening and out to some lucky frontiersman to use.. From what I have researched over the years I think this is a pretty close representation of how a traditional trade axe may have been made..Thanks Please any questions or comments, fire away..

MultiQuote Quote MLMartin #3 Senior Member Posted 20 June 2011 - 03:10 PM There has been many groups that have traded with many other groups over time. You may want to narrow down trade axe to a time period and civilization. If you are going for a American made Indian trade axe for say the 1700 - 1800 you are somewhat off in you shape. And when I say off I just mean for the most common shape being made by Americans Members around that time period. There were many many different shapes made, but that is not the most common one of that 620 posts time period. Location Georgia What time are you portraying? The small axe dose look vary useful in any regards. Not trying to be ugly, It just seams people always say they are reproducing something and don't give any specific context to when or ware the reproduction is to be from. MultiQuote Quote KYBOY #4 Senior Member Posted 20 June 2011 - 08:10 PM I know what you mean, not trying to reproduce any certain type of axe. Just the method used in construction..

It did make me think when I was watching a video from perhaps the late 60s to mid 70s out of Colonial Williams Burg. The master smith was making a small belt axe, and he just pulled the wrought Iron body from the fire, forged and bent it. Then took a welding heat, I thought that maybe they had edited out the steel bit Members being placed in between. Nope. He welding the body, then took a second welding heat and used a drop tong weld and 620 posts just welding the steel bit right on the side. He did not seem to be worried about the steel not being centered at all just Location Georgia plopped it right on there. When he was done the axe looked great. Since the steel hung out by about a inch I guess by the time some one had worn all the way through the steel bit to where it would be off center it would be worn out any way. Just a different way of doing things. I wish I could remember who the smith was, It was the master of the shop right before Peter Ross.

Id like to see that. I have seen a method where the HC steel is folded over the outside edge of the axe head instead of between like in the pics above.

I guess it just goes to show the ingenuity of the various smiths at how they thought it ought to be best. You have come a long way in smithing abilities, you done good.

When you have worn through the steel part you take it back to the smith and have him weld on a new piece.

  • Artist: Tom Boozer Video 2: Process, Part A: Body Carving Boozer: the Drawknife Really Gets a Workout in the First Stages of M
    Artist: Tom Boozer Video 2: Process, Part A: Body Carving Boozer: The drawknife really gets a workout in the first stages of making a decoy. It’s appropriately named because you’re drawing the knife toward you. Now some of the work is already done for me because I’m using the rounded side of the log as the back of the bird. So I’ll already have the basic round shape. And now I’m just beginning to shape down towards the breast, leaving the high portion back here for the primaries, or the…or the wing feathers. Continue using the drawknife to shape the body, especially the area where the head will be attached. The neck has…has to have a very strong seat to sit on. And I’m flattening out that portion right now. It’s also lower than the rest of the back and the tail feathers. When you’re making a decoy, you always have to think round. There’re no square edges on ducks, so you simply think round and just keep rounding it up. And eventually it’ll take a form that you’ll be happy with. All this is simply done by eye. Regular handsaw…I’m going to kind of draw me a line where the primaries go. And I’m going to saw, saw it out. I’m using what’s known as a wood rasp to taper all those cuts in a smoothed fashion. But at the same time, the wood rasp actually tears the wood and it’ll leave me a feathery texture.

  • Use and Care Instructions for Auriou Rasps and Rifflers
    A MESSAGE FROM MICHEL AURIOU USE & CARE INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR RASP OR RIFFLER Dear Woodworker Congratulations and thank you for purchasing one of my hand made rasps. I believe you have bought a tool of rare excellence in today’s world of mass production. I hope that this tool will add value to your personal woodworking experience. I would like to explain a few things about your rasp and let you in on a few secrets that help make my rasps the most sought after rasps made in the world today. Only a hand made rasp can be shaped with such precision and have cutting teeth that are fine and sharp enough to cut efficiently so as to give an incomparably neat finish. Your tool is a precision cutting tool that cuts quickly, with little effort and leaves a smooth surface. The finish achieved will save you time when roughing out shapes and finishing. Remember Rasps and Rifflers are shaping tools and you will be able to achieve great accuracy in this respect. Whether you are shaping blanks or making final corrections to small curves or details one of my rasps or rifflers will make the task much simpler. Some timber is very expensive and craftsmen are tentative about using rasps where delicate shaping is required but you can work with confidence in my rasps – you will not split or tear the edge of your work. My rasps and rifflers are made entirely by hand in our own factory in South West France (you are welcome to visit if you are ever in this area) – our secrets lie in:- Steel Quality – Auriou use a fine grade high carbon steel Our unique forging process – for instance our rifflers are hand drawn using a spring power hammer and then shaped by hand on an anvil by our blacksmith – they are not stamped and cut by machine.
