Started with a 2" diameter x 5" long piece of round stock and forge welded a 5160 bit into the edge. It was all done with my arm and a hammer.... I've since bought a forge press haha.

Made myself an axe
Very nice! I wish I had a forge press. This Damascus billet I’m working on is killing me!

Swinging a 20lb sledge with one hand. Ya da Man.
I really would like me a press or at least a good trip hammer.
My old horseshoeing hammers don't move metal all that good unless it's soft and thin. 5160 is danged hard to move with a 3 lb hammer under a POS anvil like mine.
Good work on the axe!
