IN different countries Choose for the axle different material. Often used wood is considered to be maple, birch, beech, oak, ash. For example, in the southern part of Europe, the tool is most often made from white acacia. In the Russian realities and CIS countries, the most popular material is birch. Reliable wood is considered to be Oak and Maple. In different countries for the axle, different material is chosen. Often used wood is considered to be maple, birch, beech, oak, ash. For example, in the southern part of Europe, the tool is most often made from white acacia. In the Russian realities and CIS countries, the most popular material is birch. Reliable wood is considered to be Oak and Maple.

With birch, it is easy to operate - elementary processing and grinding. It does not feel strong returns and fatigue. Wood withstands heavy loads and blows. Serious disadvantage - rotting due to the properties to absorb moisture, which leads to loss of strength. Birch dries, but the shrinkage becomes too big. Somehow to protect the birch from moisture is not possible.

With a birch ax, you can go to the forest for a couple of days, after drying it. And everything seems to be fine, but after 1-2 months you will notice that the toporishche is very staggering. A temporary solution of the problem is an additional wedge. You can also soak the ax in water. However, now you have to constantly pump the ax to work with it. Birch topor You can not call a reliable tool if you are not ready to do every month or buy a new one.
In the hikes most often, the tool is needed to cut across the fibers. In view of which the ax receives a strong load if it is from the birch, it may be overwhelmed.

Toporiste from maple

The topoporis of the maple is not characteristic of strongly loosening. Even if the tool is exposed to variable humidity. The axle receives a clean and smooth surface, there are no problems with its processing. Maple does not rot as fast as birch. Accordingly, the maple is better than oak and birch, but on the impact viscosity of birch in the first place.

Many people think ash the ideal option. This is confirmed - production from ash keystores for hockey, bits for baseball, cheerful, skis and so on. Strength, reliability, however, the wood is tougher in comparison with birch, but the advantages of the ash is greater.

Oak and Beech

Of the advantages - the elementality of processing, long term service, high indicator Strength, gorgeous structure. But there are serious cons - working with oak is inconvenient, because he dries his hand. If you make a toporishche enough long, there will be no strong recoil, but the physical activity will grow. With a beech easy to work - he has a pleasant surface. Minus - hygroscopicity. It is possible to impregnate the material with oil, but the procedure will not give weighty results.

Excellent impact strength, the proof - the production of sports inventories from this type Woods, manufacture of furniture. Viscosity, hardness, strength. For the strength of Yatoba is better than oak. Externally, the tool from the jad will look solid (what to take into account if you make a gift).

Advice
To make a toporishche, key headlines are needed. You can not use the boards, because in this case the strength of the axle will be minimal. It is important to achieve high flexural strength to bend. If you choose a birch, then be sure to clean your chocks from the bark and split them on the fees so that the internal layers are as quickly asked as much as possible - otherwise the birch can be contrary.

It is impossible to use for an al-searched wood for a series of reasons:
Minimum strength;

Too big shrinkage after drying;

Wood will crack and brew.

The ax is considered as an important adaptation in household, during a simple hike or hunting, like a knife. It is not always possible to take it if people are going to go snowing, but for such a case there is different types of this device. About how to create axes different species, can be found below.

Battle ax

The combat product is distinguished by the presence of a small footage and a small, simple blade. This is a rather lightweight standard solid with dimensions up to 0.8 kg on a long handle (from 0.5 m and more). The product is different types.

In order to make this ax, you need to work the standard carpenter blade. The top item will have to cut off so that it creates a straight line. The edge from the bottom of the rubbing head is cleaned with a hook, and a simple blade is spinning from below.

Further, the surface of the device is cleaned to the gloss and burns firing flame. The nozzle of this product should be such that the edge of the bottom of the blade and the tip of the axle are connected to a certain line, which will help to avoid auxiliary loads on the handle.

The best material to create an ax will be comer Simple birch. On the axle, where the head of the head will end, it is necessary to make a hole forming, after which it is necessary to create a slot under a wedge near the created hole. Then the head should be planted onto the toporishche, and in the slot, drive the wedge, lubricated with glue.

Product made of wood

Wooden hatch can not compare with the work of the ironBut sometimes it is very necessary. Thanks to a small weight, it is easy to take it in a hike to cut simple branches, and it can be used as a weapon for training or in everyday life.

How to create this product? The axle and head can be made it separately as separately and whole design. The material is selected strong, dry, without fibers. It is worth taking Oak or Maple.

To create a blade and an ax, in a separate process, 2 chocks are required, sawn input to which the template put. Then they simply glue and connect completely. The blade of fixtures should be molded and burning with a flame or to cover the plate made according to its bend.

Ax for hunting

Hunting tool must have a wonderful balance of the handle for execution right blows. It is best to apply a all-metal device, because the likelihood will decrease, which will fall apart with a carcass in the separation of a carcass or during the bone of the beast. If there is no chance to have such a product, it can be made it alone from the blade and the wood spray.

Before creating an ax created for hunting or fishing walks, you need to make a thin wedge-shaped blade. The blade treatment is performed by a disk with a small abrasive, you need to try to give it a round shape (but not similar to the semicircle) and do not move with sharpness.

Then you need to harden iron. To create an ax, a special birch, rowan or elm is used. To find out the correct length of the hatch, it is necessary to take it in one end, while the particle with a nozzle for the product should touch the ankle. When hitting the blade on the item, its end must be described for better fixation. After that, it is performed by the cutting of the painter and the wedge is installed.

Excellent if the wedge is created from the same material that the ax. It can be put on glue, and when the inner part of the course is loosened, the problem will quickly decide if you soak fitting in the driver. It is not necessary to use a wedge of metal, because it will start rust and spoil the tree.

For bird hunting and small game, the axle is created lightweight, weighing up to thousands of grams, up to sixty centimeters. To hunt a large animal, its length should be at least 65 centimeters, and the weight is a thousand grams. You still need to look at the growth and weight of the person himself, who hunts.

Tophopishche do it yourself

The drawings will first need to create this product. This is a very important adaptation that is easy to do. In order to make it easily, you will need:

• Wood blank.
• Knife.
• Joiner-plumbing tool.
• Cutting device.
• Pencil.
• File.
• Hammer.

The creation process itself will be performed in a certain order:

• On paper create a template. The toporishche of the finished fixture is put to the cardboard and rub the simple pencil. Cut.
• From the dried wood they make a bar. The billet particle that will be put on a part of the ax, should exceed the dimensions of the metal of the metal for two or three mm.
• The contours of the template are transferred to the billet from the tree. From the front should leave the reserve of ten mm, and in the back - in ninety mm.
• Armed along the upper and lower part of the tree bar create propuls, whose depth is not reaching the selected pharmaceuts.
• Working nozzle parts made of metal are performed by blowing a pile. If everything is suitable, make cleaning.
• Almost finished base is drained everywhere with a blade. The file is trying to smooth out the corners and transitions. At the end, everything is grinding emery paper.
• Using a small hammer, knife and chisels, the workpiece is completed to the necessary form. A knife is exhibited in the place of sleep and slowly bother with his hammer. That's all, the axes for the ax, done.

The main criteria of choice hand tool It is considered quality and convenience. How well he will sit in his hand, largely determines the impeccability of work done with it. These requirements for the ax are most relevant, when using high labor productivity and safety depend on the material of the axle and its proper nozzle.

Considering that the dynamic load on the ax is high enough, and working with it is conjugate with an increased risk of injuries, especially with an imperious treatment or absence of experience, you need to know how to make a right axle and be able to plant it.

Varieties of topores

Axes are several species, and everyone has its purpose. Professionals distinguish this tool in the width of the footage, which can be wide, medium and narrow. At the same time, some use it for universal work, others for cutting forests, and separate varieties are used for neat carpentry.

Main types of axes:

• koluna;
• for rolls of forest;
• construction;
• tourist ones.

Inside each of these groups exist various options Tools intended for narrow-profile or other special works.

A bright example is a fire ax. Its device does not differ from others, but in front of the blade he has a pointed Kirk. With it, you can make a hook of heavy items, fix it on the roof or smash door locks.

Differences of the handles

The toporiste is so called the handle for the ax. There are many of their varieties manufactured from different materials. Plastic and metal copies do not use widespread demand, and their practicality can be confidently questioned. The most common wooden components of the instrument capable of extinguishing inertia oscillations during operation.

Classification of axes on the handle:

There are a number of other varieties, but they are among the professional intended for special work requiring specific skills.

For example, an ax straight short handle and a small bevelled at an angle of a sharp blade applied to a wood thread.

Nozzle on handle

To figure out how to properly put an ax on a toporishche, you need to decide on the method of nozzle. There are several of them somewhat and depend on the professional skill, experience and material of the product. It will take a little time, some carpentry tools and wedges.

Topor nozzle methods:

• Welding. This method is suitable for axes with a metallic axle.
• Gluing. The hood of the ax and the axle gluits with epoxy glue in a special chamber.
• Squeezing is this method most preferable for conducting the procedure at home. The ax should be put on the handle and separate.

The handle must be pre-prepared. The location of the docking with the eye needs to be processed so that it is slightly narrowed, but it ensured a dense landing. At the very end of the handle, the longitudinal propyl is done for the subsequent installation of the wedge.

Tightly putting the eyelash, you can encounter that part wooden knob will act beyond its limits. This is normal, surplus at the end of the work it will be necessary to freeze. After that, a metal wedge is clogged.

Sometimes wooden wedges are used, but it should be borne in mind that their density should be significantly higher than that of the material from which the handle is made. Before climbing, they are lubricated with joinery glue.

Clogging of several wedges

In order for all components of the tool to be securely fixed, resort to crushing using multiple elements. On the landing place The handles make cuts in the shape of a lattice for five wedges. The width of the gaps should be 1 mm, and the depth of no more than two thirds of the yoke.

Contrary to the statements of many professionals, the use of the same material for the handle and the wedge will lead to a weak fixation of parts of the tool. It is necessary to use more dense wood, beech, oak or holbe. Pens make from ash, birch or maple.

After fitting the size of the wedges, they are driven by two thirds to the peoples and are covered with gauze or a cloth impregnated with epoxy resin or carbon black glue. Then dresses the overall so that it provides the highest possible connection. All components are clogged, and the tool is left for drying.

Sharpening and hardening the ax

Like any other tool, the ax needs periodic care and maintenance. Over time, when performing everyday work, the blade is blown up and productivity falls. In this case, it should be molded.

To qualitatively perform this procedure, you need to know how to get an ax correctly. General principle Almost no different from the sharpening of ordinary knives with grinding machineBut you need to adhere to the rules for the formation of a burr.

To avoid too frequent sharpening, Steel must be as strong as possible, and for this you need to harden. At home, the procedure is performed using a gas burner and spent motor oil. The blade is repeated to red and immersed in working out, then completely cooled in water. The procedure is repeated several times.

Handle with your own hands

It is not always possible to use the handle for the factory manufacture. In this case, it can be done according to the drawings with your own hands. At the same time, it is necessary to start work with the selection of wood varieties. Most. optimal option Birch is considered for such a tool, but you can use a maple or ash.

Manufacturing handle, you need to immediately customize it under the dimensions of the existing blade. The main criterion should be the convenience of working with the future tool. therefore special attention It is necessary to focus on the size specified in the drawings.

On the bar of suitable dimensions that do not have bitch and cracks are made of handle sketches. Then extra parts are dug and cut off with a knife. A place for landing under the outer should be swallowed and all the product to the ideal state.

Undoubtedly, people living in a private house or often exercise in campaigns, such an indispensable tool is needed as an ax. To buy it, it is enough just to go to the market.

If you have questions about the quality of the purchased ax, it can be done by himself. And this can be done very easily, if you use the instructions and advice on its manufacture.

Classification of axes

Axes are the following types:

1. Carpentry. Lightweight, small axes must with a sharp blade. Designed to join and accurately working with wood.
2. Carpentry universal. Miscellaneous axes. They do not have a big handle. Use them for inaccurate wood treatment.
3. Ax lumberjack. It is used to cut a tree, has a wide blade and a long handle.
4. Ice ax. Used in mountaineering. It consists of a spike, head, blades and sharpened at the base of the handle. Outwardly, he looks like a kirk.
5. Colong. The cone-shaped ax having a high weight. Form and weight help to split solid species of trees.
6. Blacksmith. Such an ax is possible to cut off metal materials. Apply the ax to the place where you need to cut off, and beat the hammer on the okuhu.
7. Potable. With it, we cut the tree. For efficiency, the ax has rounded blade.
8. Cook. The ax having a shortened handle and a heavy and acute rubbing surface.
9. Puzzle. Used to cut the grooves with the edge on the blade. The cutting part is perpendicular to the topopor.
10. Firefighter. The ax with a metal handle, which is isolated for maintaining a voltage equal to 1000W. His feature is that there is a spike on the outer, which is used to cut the passage through the dawns.
11. Storm fireman. Massive ax with a long handle. In case of fire, it is broken by heavy designs.
12. Tourist. A small ax with a short paint. It happens in combination with a knife or saw. For security, it is equipped with a case.
13. Tsalda. The blade of the ax, made in the form of a sickle, is used to clean the territory from small shrubs.

Independent manufacture

The procedure for performing work is as follows:

Operating Operating Topor

Before starting work, it is necessary to make transverse cuts at the top and bottom of the bar. The depth of cuts should not reach the line of the axle for 2-3 mm. The chisel is removed the extra layer of wood. Raspil is cut out the places where the corners and transitions are needed. At the end, the ax is grouped using sandwich.

Selecting a stitching

At home, the metal canvas does not do, so you need to know what to pay attention to when it is elected in the constructionarket:

• ideally, steel should be marked according to GOST;
• the eyelet must have a cone form;
• the blade should not have dents, bends or jar;
• if you look at the volatility, then its ends should be perpendicular to the blade.

Attachment on the ax

You can do this by completing such simple operations:

1. On the axle in the upper part make transverse and longitudinal cuts.




2. Cut 5 wedges from solid wood.




3. The scrambled gauze in the resin is wound over the axle for a more dense passage in the eye.




4. We clog the axle in the eye of the ax.




5. Drive wedges in cuts.




6. After drying, the protruding parts of the wedges are cut.

Sharpening blade

A good feature of the ax will provide right sharpening blades. Depending on the type of work performed, select the sharpening angle.

For example, the taiga ax is sharpened at an angle of 25-30 degrees. If you need to chop fresh wood, it is necessary to sharpen at an angle of 25 degrees.

As you can see, having a small set of tools in arsenal, the instruction for the manufacture of the ax, it is not at all difficult to make it under your sizes and needs.

See video instructions For the manufacture of a taiga ax do it yourself:

Recently, a real Bum of forging is happening. The blacksmiths are young people. Knives and axes made by their hands, real works of art.

Nothing is impossible

Looking at the work of Kuznetsov, visits the idea that there is nothing complicated in the manufacture of the ax. But in practice, it turns out to be much more difficult.

In addition to the piece of metal for the forging of the ax, you need: Mountain, anvil, trifles for the eye. Such a set of tool is not everyone. Of course, you can make a mountain and breaking, but you can also try to make an ax in other ways too.

Folding the ax with a plumbing method

Ideas How to make an ax outside the forge lead to a fitting method. The ax consists of three parts:

• poll canvas
• toporische

If everything is clear with the materials for the manufacture of the hatch and the wedge, then the question is from what, most importantly, how to make the canvas puzzles. Knowing that the canvas consists of the blade and the footage, you understand what you need for the manufacture of the ax:

• metal strip for blades
• piece of pipe for the footage

Blade

Check in full size will show the number required material. For the blade, a solid metal is needed, for example, a versator of the car.

We transfer the contour of the drawing on the refrigera and screaming everything too much. Descents also do with the help of a grinder. It is important not to overheat the metal so that the edge remains solid and kept sharpening well.

Butt

For the course of the middle ax, it will take a pipe with an inner diameter of 38-40 mm. Better if it is thick-walled. Pipe cut off the size from the drawing. Then heated, for example gas burner, and compress in tees, for legend more rectangular shape.

Assembling web

Blade and volatile we connect with welding. It is important to quickly brew metal so that the ax that the ax does not crack during operation.

Then the seam is grinding with a grinder, if necessary, weganize the sinks, we grind again. For additional strength, it is possible to proceed the volatory and blade with metal strips.

Toporische

A good ax implies the presence of a properly made ax. To the question - from what you can make a handle for the ax, there is a simple answer - from solid wood.

The most common tree for the manufacture of the handle of the ax - birch. But, if you make an ax not only for rods of firewood, but for the soul, it is worth looking for a tree a tree with a more expressive texture.

Tree for axes

The handle of the ax from the ash, Elm, the Grab will look very beautiful. Only buy boards from such woods in some regions, especially in the outback, problematic. Of course, you can use online trading.

A tree for an ax should be well dried, be without bitch. At home wooden plank dried as room temperature For six months

The longer the time the wood is to dry, the more stronger it turns out the ax. According to custom, wooden billets were dried over the attics of houses.

Action plan

Drawing up the instruction how to make a toporishche with your own hands allows you to split the process on elementary steps. The list of actions will help to avoid errors and increase the quality of the result. This is especially important if you do anything for the first time.

Note!

Step-by-step process, how to make a handle at home will look like this:

• drawing up the sketch of the ax and template
• wood processing
• nozzle on ax
• finish coating.

Sketch and Topor Pattern

For comfortable work, the axes make about 50-70 cm. After drawing a sketch in full size easier to present the proportions of the future ax. Next, we carry the Fanur Figure or Tight Cardboard and make a template.

Chernovaya processing

By template, outline the contour of the handle on the tree and drink the blank. Give a more rounded shape with a handle. For these purposes, you can use the plane, chisels or a small hatch.

Fitting

The next phase of the manufacture of the axle is fitting forms and ergonomics. We calculate the tree to impart the right shape and convenient grip.

For these purposes, a large rashpil is perfectly suitable, as well as grinding power tools. Here the main thing is not to glorify the place of the axle of the ax on the Toponishche.

Note!

Grinding and assembly

After coarse processing, we see the handle with sandpaper and make a slot under the wedge. Heat the ax on the handle and drive wedge. Many people advise to plant a wedge on glue or epoxy resin. The choice is yours.

Finish finish

The assembled ax is thoroughly grinding fine sandpaper. The tree can be covered with a mourn or leave as it is. The protective layer is applied with oil or varnish.

For greater exclusivity, the axle can be decorated with carvings, inlay or wire ad. On the canvas of the ax, the pattern will look beautifully stood in the salt solution.

Conclusion

Purchase an ax for rolling wood is very simple, and there is no need to make it for these purposes with your own hands. Homemade axes are used as a subject of creativity, but he is able to fulfill their direct duties.

Some independent copies will give odds to industrial patterns, deliver the owners a reason for pride and pleasure from the work done.
