Bushcraft Axe Making How to Make Handmade Bushcraft Axes Tutorial Part 3. Before I secure the handles I need to heat treat the axe, axes I start by belt sanding both sides with an 80 grit belt on my 2 X 72 belt grinder to remove the crust that developed when I hammered the cutting edge on the face of the axe and straightened the tang. As you can see my 2 X 72 belt sander, grinder is a homemade affair and it works great I have been using this for so long I can t even remember what year it was put together.
