Making the handle for pipehawks and drilling it is very very difficult…..Drilling the 18-25 inch straight hole in a piece of hardwood is a feat unto itself. I usually use ash or fig, which has a hollow pith (which does help alot, although not a silver bullet) and both react very nicely with aqua fortis
@bhaktapeter3501 yes , drilling the hole is a bit aggravating. I find if I start a pilot hole on each end and using a very stiff drill bit and going slow it doesn't wonder and drill out the side.
Ive been making nothing but pipehawks for almost 1 year now. I have yet to try one from a pipe though. I am a glutton for punishment so i forge em out of square and round bar. I just made one from half a railroad spring, which is 60Si2MnA, that was pretty difficult. The results are good but it was a lot of work
@bhaktapeter3501 I have thought of doing it that way. Some of the ones I have forged out of pipe I forge welded a piece of 5160 or 1095 into the end for the cutting edge. This one I used a rifle barrel a customer dropped off. It seems easier to use the pipe/barrel. With the barrel off of the rifle it hardened very nicely and I didn't need to forge weld a a blade in. Worked out really well.
If you stick a wet piece of rag or an old glove finger inside the cold end of the pipe, the heat won't travel up the pipe as much or as fast. Makes working it a lot easier.
I know that's not as easy as most people would think it is,... Tune and tweak it a little bit more and show us how she works in action. 👍
Most definitely
Homemade stuff is a skill not made in China junk made in usa
Nice old fashioned
Thank you for the comment. Yes, focus and determination.
We must not lose motivation, we will succeed together, focus.
I completely agree. I have not had the privilege to visit Harmony Hall yet, but I am looking forward to it.
