Ball Peen Hammer Axe Process Shots

These are the process shots for making an axe head out of a ball peen hammer.  Or really it's most of the process, I didn't take pics of some of the other steps. 

This is a plain old 24oz ball peen hammer from Harbor Freight.

This is the same hammer head after a good day of heating it, burning off the handle and whacking it a whole lot with a hammer.

This is the same hammer head after a rough grind.  The rough grind is the first grind used to give it it's shape before tempering, annealing and the final grind.
