Making a Bronze Viking Axe | Nordic Hatchet

In this video I make my first axe, and first casting using a sand core at my home backyard foundry, a solid bronze viking battle axe with engraved Norse symbols. As far as I know, vikings did not make weapons out of bronze, however this was still a very cool and fun project and it turned out really well with the engravings and details. It turned out to be very sharp, and cut my finger just from lightly touching it.

What other axes should I make in the future? Please like and subscribe to see many more bronze weapons!
