In this video, the presenter takes on the challenge of making a tomahawk using materials salvaged from a Ford Fusion car. They extract steel from various car components like coil springs and axle, then forge these materials into a billet. The billet is subsequently shaped into the tomahawk's blade and handle, while the handle is made from layers of seat belts in a Micarta-style fashion. The video also includes the use of a Henson aluminum razor as a sponsor. The final result is a unique tomahawk created from car parts.
1. The goal is to create a tomahawk using components solely from a Ford Fusion car.
2. Various car parts like coil springs, body panels, and axle materials are being considered for the tomahawk construction.
3. Coil springs made of 5160 steel, measuring about 12 millimeters in diameter, are chosen for the core material.
4. The team faced challenges such as discovering hollow parts in the materials they intended to use.
5. Seat belts from the car are planned to be stacked and turned into a handle material called Micarta.
6. The construction involves forging the materials together, shaping the tomahawk's profile, and heat treating the blade.
7. The team faced challenges with hollow components and had to make adjustments to their design during the process.
8. The video is sponsored by Henson Shaving, showcasing their aluminum razor product and blade offer.
