Description
In this activity in Zurich, you build your own axe and then test it on the throwing range. You pick an upcycled axe, customise the handle, and assemble your own tool.
While building, you learn how to clean and sharpen the axe by hand. You also decorate the handle using heat, fire, and wood burning. Afterwards, you head to the throwing range to practise different throwing techniques.
