Forging a small Trade Axe/Hatchet

In this video I forge a small trade axe styled hatchet for backpacking from a old cold chisel. The handle is carved from a replacement sledge handle hammer from the local hardware store, it was much too large so required a lot of shaping with my draw knife and rasps. This was my only good option for obtaining hickory easily.
