when you makeing an ax,hatchet,tomahawk or anything like that how do you make the hole for the handle to fit in? this is for forging specifically. Thanks:confused:
 
normally you either punch the eye, or make a "wrap around" eye (not sure if this is the correct terminology) and forge weld it back into the bit.
 
Go to the shop talk forum and do a search and all your questions will be answered.
I believe the tool used is called a drift.
 
For hawks you usually use what is called a "tomahawk" drift. I got mine from crazycrow.com..
