I had no work today so I finally got around to doing a project I've been planning on doing for awhile. A Lochaber axe! Thanks to the guides and photos in this thread, I made my own with a large dowel, some aluminum, and a few screws and nuts. The whole thing cost me about $20 and took me an hour to finish.

Keep in mind I have NO metalworking experience and was doing most of this freehand with just some photos as a guide.



What do you think?
