That sounds like witchcraft that would need a little help from Mecha ...I'd like to design an axe with a 2lb head that weighs 1.5lb
well, actually...there is an unrelated project in the works...That sounds like witchcraft that would need a little help from Mecha ...
So, I've been wondering if a haft could be machined from micarta. Wood takes maintenance and as a natural material is subject to quite a bit of variability. Wood that meets CPK standards will be hard to come by.
Micarta on the other hand...
Imagine ECAM in an axe handle, or a rubber or ebonite inlaid version.
Heavy,The subject came up about a CPK axe. Honestly, it sounds like fun.
Would some of you guys educate me on the subject matter and perhaps point me in the right direction? What makes a good axe? What makes a bad axe? What kind or kinds should I make?
I would love a small camp axe or easy to carry hatchet for hiking in D3V. A small, thin profile hatchet seems to really fit the strengths of D3V. I was thinking along the lines of the RMJ Bushcrafter which is all steel with handle scales. I think Lorien and CPK could hit something like this out of the park.
