Axe Making - Ball Peen Hammer Tomahawk

This is my first attempt at forging any type of axe. I'm quite happy with how it turned out and I learned a lot in the process.
This was made as a gift for my brother, so I didn't want to ruin the finish by putting it through a few tests, but will definitely do that with the next one.

Nice! I've got a couple of these ball peen hammer heads hanging around the shop. No idea where they came from. But this might be exactly where they're going.

Great video. What is that tool that you are using around the 1:40 mark? Seems pretty handy.

[@HTSTAAL]

Thank you, it's just some simple welded round bar to protect the fuller/shoulder areas.
