Great job Mike,beautiful axe,looks to be a real skull splitter. Question. Is it brass,and hard enough to be functional? Keep up the fine videos, and always have a PBR ready fir emergency..haha right on, brother Valhalla, has a place for you.
it's bronze. adding a little tin or other alloy increases the hardness of copper. to make it harder not like steel. work Harding is performed by hitting the blade edge with a hammer this does the same thing as quenching of steel. bronze was king before iron
silica sand and the water glass harden with CO2. putting it in the bag builds pressure to force the CO2 into the mix and make a better cure. a pressure pot would be better
impressive
thanks for watching
