    I have looked at a number of videos regarding making foam axes and the majority attach the head to the handle by inserting some form of metal rod inside the foam whereas you insert the handle inside the axe head. I am a newbie first timer and wanted your opinion as which method of attaching the head to a wood axe handle would be easier.

    • @JaxCosplay
      @JaxCosplay Рік тому

      I think both methods would work. The method I used worked pretty well and it's still holding together a few years later. I think for a wooden handle, you could make a hole in the foam axe head and insert the handle and glue in place. Hope this helps. 😁👍
