playing with hatchets

[preprius]

Since this is not wood works it has to be in the coffee house.

I wanted to play with electricity and hatchets.  I saw some youtube stuff so I tried it. 

A friend had an old hatchet, I cleaned it up.

He wanted a P51 airplane on it.  so I put the clear shelf paper and added a picture he had. I cut the outline and cockpit and wing edges.  I kept it simple.  Added cotton soaked salt water, passed some 12v though the cotton pads.  Lots of pads were used. 

Clean off tape and picture then sharpened the blade. 

I am giving it back to him on his 95th birthday tomorrow.

I found the same shape of hatchet on internet in museum of hatchets. 1930 or 1940's. here is a screen shot of the international page.

That's cool. How, exactly, does the process work?

here is my inspiration.....

So the theory behind it goes like this.......   I skipped chemistry.  So I have no clue.
