From an old circular saw for circular, you can make a cool kitchen hatchet with your own hands. Moreover, the author in this case does not make the handle of wood, but of epoxy. It looks very original.
A homemade kitchen hatchet can be used both for cutting vegetables and for chopping bones. Only a grinder and grinder will be needed from the tool.
First of all, on the saw blade, the author draws the shape of the future kitchen hatchet along with a shank for the handle. Then it will be necessary to cut the workpiece using a grinder.
The main stages of work
After the workpiece is cut, it will need to be processed on a grinder or grinder. Then, if necessary, it will be necessary to further refine the file for metal.
The next step is to make the blades descent. The master does this on the grinder. The procedure is standard, so we will not focus on it.
Next, drill holes in the shank. Then the author tempers the cutting edge of the hatchet (heats the red hot in the furnace and cools in oil). Then the metal must be "released". And after that, the author makes a bluing of steel.
Epoxy resin is poured into a pre-prepared form, and then the hatchet shaft is immersed in it. After the epoxy hardens, the author cuts off all the excess from the handle on the band saw.
The final touch is the finishing and sharpening of the blade. How to make a kitchen hatchet from an old circular saw can be found in the video on the website.
