Dovetail Tomahawk

Рет қаралды 32,490,274

Күн бұрын

Making a dovetail tomahawk from scrap. Inspired by rare examples of steel and brass pipe tomahawk, exchanged as diplomatic gifts between Europeans and Native Americans.
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.
I'll do my best to answer questions in comments and I'll add the most frequent one here:
0:00 Steel Edge
3:27 Pattern
5:30 Brass Cast
7:47 Head
10:37 Handle
13:09 Test

@@HvV8446 That's part of what has me curious. Brass melts at something like 1700*F. As I understand it, chopping blades are usually tempered to around 450*F. Pouring 1700*F brass into the mold would likely cause the steel to heat to a level that, once cooled slowly in the mold, would essentially just anneal the steel.

As a collector of Tomahawks, that is one fine looking hawk. And very accurate. Hardened steel was hard to come by back in that day and age. So you only used as much as you needed. Just for the cutting edge. I have one that has a hardened steal edge and softer iron, that is then wrapped around the hardened steel, in what was called a plowshare design. Its been a good hawk for me, for years. Keep up the good work.

@scottcates Жыл бұрын

The pits seem to be where the melted brass was surrounded on three sides by cold steel. I suspect the brass cooled rapidly in those pits and shrunk when it hardened. I could be wrong about the shrinking but two vents in those precise places might have prevented it. I bet there's a fair amount of trial-and-error in production casting to sort out these types of issues.
