MINE CRAFT AXE

My GRANDSON come to visit this weekend and we spent some time in the shop making this axe but before we started I ask him to make a sketch and that was followed by looking at some pictures on Google and he said kind of like that one but nicer.
We did a layout full size and soon realized that we had to reduce the size as you can see in the second picture . Anyway I started cutting a bunch of 1 1/4" squares from 1/8" hardboard and he sanded all the edges and putting a slight bevel on the edges and then did a dry fit adding some strips for the top and he liked the result .
My wife did the painting which was breeze since she could paint all the pieces separately having them marked for colour . Then we assembled all the pieces on some 1/4" MDF and cut out the shape when the glue had dried over night .
A bit of sanding and a coat of wipe on poly and done.
I can’t think of a better time then to spent in the shop with my Grandkids just love it
I think he will be happy when he gets it .
