This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEM curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the Straw badge in Metalworking.

Need to chop down a tree?  Let's forge an axe!

 
 

Here's a gentleman showing us one way to do it:


Minimum requirements:
  - Forge an axe head
  - Any style is ok as long as it's for use on wood (splitting, felling, etc)
  - Visibly sharp

Provide proof of the following as pictures or video (<2 min):
  - The project underway
  - The finished project
 
Think of how dumb the average person is. Mathematically, half of them are EVEN DUMBER. Smart tiny ad:
