I have mission: Set up a kit with tools from this image:

Using materials as close as possible to what the originals probably were. most of them are fairly easy; chisels from the 18th century can be re-hilted because they are essentially the same. The one that's throwing me is the socketed axe. I need a smith who can work in wrought iron and put in a high-carbon bit, and can make it look dead-on like the one in the image.
So, what I'm asking, is: does anyone know an appropriately-skilled tool-maker who may be willing to take on the job?
