Blacksmithing - Forging a Kent Pattern English Axe Part 1 of 2

Something I've wanted to do for many years is make my own axe, a gift of a very old broken axehead inspired me to get on with it! The original axe was made by folding wrought iron around a former to make the eye for the handle. Welding the join shut and welding in a high carbon steel cutting edge. For my re-make I am forging the whole thing from one lump of high carbon steel. I'm aided in the task by my homemade power hammer and for the first time - the new (old) flypress. The Kent pattern is a very old design of axe and just about the only regional English axe pattern to survive into modern times.
