Camp chopper
« on: May 03, 2010, 02:27:00 PM »
this is an anhydrous amonia shank(Used as fertilizer on the farms around here) before and after.
 this breaks the ground up.
I gotta do it. Made a shank out of shank!
 These are semi shaped. ready to forge?
 sanded a little on the unworked one to show that they have been hard face welded inside the bend to help prevent wear.
I will expirement with etching now that I have tested it some. for strength and edge durability. This is a chopper!!!!
Have thrown it at tree for an hour or so.Sticks fair. chopped a log no chips or breaks in the edge.
won't still shave but it's pretty sharp still. too cool!
 
Look up!It's ALL above us.

nice design.... cool wrap.  just clean that metal up and you'll have a nice looking tool.
