Wrench Tomahawk

We all have something lying around that can be repurposed into something better, like an old rusty wrench. There are so many things that you can make a wrench out of. We are going to make a tomahawk. I bet you are wondering why would you need a tomahawk. You may have a lot of free time and you have always wanted to get into axe throwing, or you need something for self-defense. You can also be an outdoorsman and you need a new tool for splitting wood or self-defense, or if you need something to prep for the Zombie Apocalypse.

The things that you will need

• Hammer: Any hammer will do
• Tongs: If you are not a blacksmith any long pliers will do
• Anvil: Any thick piece of metal will do
• Forge: A fire pit will do but you will need a blow dryer
• Work clothing: Needs to be something that is not cotton or flammable
• Wrench: the material that you will make the tomahawk
• Vise: you can use it to bend the head links back
• Belt Sander: to make the blade
• Angle Grinder: to shape the blade
• Water or Oil: to quench the blade
• File: To sharpen the blade

Take the old wrench and throw it in the fire. Wait for the metal to get to bright orange and then take it out.

When the wrench is at the heat you won't, you are going to first bend the biggest link of the jaw. Then when the metal cools down and the color goes away, put it back in the fire. Then when back to temp, you can bend back the smaller link of the jaw. At the end of everything, the wrench should look like a T.

When you have the T shape. You can now start making the base of the blade and the blade.

Before the quench, you need to let it cool down and then you can make the blade. You can cool it down by dipping it into water. The way to make the blade is to use a belt sander, angle grinder, or a file to make and shape the blade, and sharpen it.

Now that you have your blade, it is now time to put it in the forge one last time and quench it. The way to see if it is to the right temp is to take a magnet and touch the metal. If the magnet sticks, then you need to put it back into the fire. If the magnet does not stick then you can put it into the water or oil.
