Making a Prop Viking Axe

Showing you how to make a prop viking axe out of leather. If you need a prop axe that looks decent so you can hit people with it or just not be worried about hurting people for a scene, this video is for you.

I got to take part in Shieldmaiden, a Vancouver Film School production. I had a chance to act in it, do stunts in it, and I even made an axe for it. I'll link to that short film when it becomes available.

I love this method. I think I'm going to try using this method to make a leather sword for ren-fairs and cons.

[FrigginBoomToys]

Real cool. I'll probably use some of those tips about strapping the head

Looks awesome, Rich! Loving your videos!

Go look into metalsheet workers tongs, they are perfect for 90o deg bends with thinner metal. Quite expensive tho!

My suggestion would be to do a double layer of leather. The first one you could stitch together to hold it on the handle, then a second layer over that glued on to conceal the stitches

[JohnMartinez-smsk]

Pretty cool looks real, you should be in vikings

[zackbop]

how much would you charge for this prop?

[brandonkramer]

What did you have on your draw knife at the beginning of the video to control your depth of cut?
