I'm on mobile so I can't really check if you have answered this anywhere but, how did you make that super cool axe?
lady-feral answered:

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.
