Description: Making a dovetail hatchet from three different metals: steel, brass and aluminum. Inspired by rare examples of steel and brass pipe tomahawk, exchanged as diplomatic gifts between Europeans and Native Americans. This one is also "enhanced" with a solid aluminum handle. I don't pretend this to be functional. It's made for the challenge of making it and as art piece more than an actual work hatchet. It can still chop stuff and seems to hold up well, but of course it has nothing to do with a proper one made entirely of steel. 0:00 Steel Edge 1:25 Head Mold 3:55 Brass Cast 4:59 Head Profile And Eye 6:20 Handle Mold 8:00 Aluminum Cast 8:53 Hatchet Cleanup 10:17 Test Find some of the stuff I use for my projects in this amazon storefront: amazon.com/shop/blackbeardprojects It's affiliate marketing, so if you order something from here you'll help the channel for free!
