Chelley's Crafting Room Chaos

Thread necromancy activate!!

This is one of my current projects. This axe was left behind in my garage by friends who had been living with me for a few months who no longer play Amtgard. On first finding it, there's several weapon safety specs it doesn't meet. The haft needs more padding and the strike edge on the axe head was coming off.

These links are all the before pics. Minimum specs are that it needs to be 2.5 inches wide. and there needs to be 1 inch of foam on the strike edge of the core.

I'll update this thread with new pics once I've finished this project. To get the haft to spec I just took it off entirely and have rebuilt it from scratch. Weapon smithing, particularly with a flat edge like this will have is not really my forte. I usually stick to cloth creations and food, so we'll see how this turns out.

Also, if a link doesn't work, let me know so I can fix it asap!
