If you’re talking about the floral battle axe, it was pretty much all fabrication rather than forging. I made it out of scrap. I found a piece of 1/4” plate and i used a band saw to cut out the overall shape, so it was just a flat pied of metal. Obviously 1/4” thick is nowhere near enough material to slit and drift a socket, so I found some 4” diameter mild steel pipe and cut about a third of the radius out in two pieces, then welded one up to one side of the blade, cut out the flat piece in the middle with a cutoff wheel, then welded on the other side. I cleaned up the welds and ground them out with a flap wheel to make it all seamless, then drew up stencils for the floral pattern, marked it on the steel, and cut those out with a plasma cutter. After all that I ground in the edge and carved a mattock handle down to fit in the socket.

I grew up on the lower east side. My father sold fruit. My mother sold shirt-waists for a factory. Let me tell you, you don’t get to climb the American ladder without picking up some bad habits on the way. There’s a ceiling for certain types of people, based on how much money your parents have, your social class, your religion, your sex.
