Making a simple tomahawk head from a common rail spike using the slit and drift method for the fitting of a round tapered handle. This is a very simple rustic project that gets you a feel for working with several important struck tools and illustrates the use of a water dipper for heat isolation. Made without spike head tongs. Enjoy!
