PART 1: Make single axe out of 2 hatchets; DOUBLE BLADED VIKING INSPIRED LONG-BEARD AXE

This is the 4th viking inspired axe I have made. They keep getting more and more elaborate as I learn more. This is the 1st one that I have documented the whole process of creation. It is also the first double bladed I have done.
