catbirdseat Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 The program How It Is Made on the Discovery Channel had a feature on how ice tools are made. These were DMM axes made forged, starting with aluminum rod ( the Rebel ). Naturally, there must be several different processes used, depending on whether the axe is metal or composite or whether it is tubular metal or flat metal. Hopefully they'll show this segment again.

OlympicMtnBoy Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Awesome, too bad I missed it. Hopefully it will air again. I sent them a note a while back and suggested they do a segment on making cams. They actually wrote back and said they had recently shot the ice axe bit and were regretting not staying longer to do one on cams made at the same factory. They said to look out for the ice axe show though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
