Piecing together a budget heavy

[Shakey]

That doesn't help with what I need, I know the theoretical force output at the end of the arm, but that doesn't help to know if it would just be a feeble attempt when compared to other heavies. I was wondering if any of the guys with experience with axes might know about what I should be looking for.

The best thing to do is test! Try stuff out build your axe on a test bed first
