The Birth Of A Tool. Part 2. Chisel Making (by Northmen)

- This is the second part of a short documentary movie that shows the whole process of how Northmen tools are being hand crafted.
"It is a tragedy of the first magnitude that millions of people have ceased to use their hands as hands. Nature has bestowed upon us this great gift which is our hands. If the craze for machinery methods continues, it is highly likely that a time will come when we shall be so incapacitated and weak that we shall begin to curse ourselves for having forgotten the use of the living machines given to us by God."
Mahathma Ghandi

I have watched these so many times. I find inner peace. Zen. 🙏🏻 thanks
Outstanding video. Amazing to see a mixture of old and new world skills combined.
if TH-cam had Grammys then these two videos together should clean house in all catagories. Moving. I want that pair of tools!
I love that he uses the chisel to thin out the handle that fits into said chisel.
Wow that was so nice to watch...Thanks for your good work
thanks. we will make the "Part III" in a while about scandinavian knife making.
Please another video
i love this series keep them coming. amazing craftsmanship!
Damn you make me want to do this art. I want to move to the woods and start making tools now. DAMN YOU! such beautiful craftsmanship.
Devotion to an important cause!
My hat is off to you sir. Those are absolutely beautifully crafted tools. I am buying a draw saw from you next chance I get. Incredible. Thank is all I can put together to say.
This is a man of many talents. He is just amazing!!!
I love the mix of theold school skills and the laser etching cnc. Perfect.
This almost makes me regret what I've been doing with my life - my childhood dream was to be a blacksmith, and seeing you two and the level of skill that you have...I only wish I could have spent more time developing some sort of skill, something that I can proudly say I was good at. Amazing video, you are truly artisans of your craft.
its newer too late
@@artursandins - Lol, appreciate the supportive words.D In the last decade I haven't picked up blacksmithing, but I will be buying a house soon and will hopefully have a shop to work in!
Your tools, the process you use and the video are all beautiful. Amazing work, can't wait for more!
John... I watch this movie when I am sad or when I want to motivate myself to go forge. It's such a spiritual experience, to watch You working wth Your hand, to hear Bon Iver. Best wishes from me and my family. Maybe someday I'll visit You :) I have only 1020 km to You :)
Pure talent-- thanks for sharing..
Amazing work, John.
So Beautiful, nice work
Bon Iver is so perfect for this
sick skills, envy the dedication, life style and location
where do you live and are you far from other people or are you just a couple minutes from a town? btw really nice video. i love videos in this kind of format :) great job. ps cant wait to see part 3
perfekt und schön... großartig... top..
Thank you for these videos!
Amazing. I love your products. Since i was child i always dreamed to do a job like yours. You are the best!
Did you become a blacksmith?
wranglerstar sent me her. awesome video
Waiting to receive my set from these rightous craftsmen. My kind of people. 4 months to go.
Amazing work, and amazing videos! Thanks so much for sharing. :)
Your craftsmanship really touched my soul. amazing & beautiful.......
Great video
Hope to have one in my hands one day.
there is always an option to mute it.
The movie about Scandinavian Damascus knife making will come in autumn.
perfect video, beautiful tools :-)
LOVE these videos...Makes me want to get back out in the shop!
One thing did bother me.....
NEVER wear a long sleeve of ANY KIND while working with a lathe...I worked with metals and around a LOT of lathes..the things that have happened to people for making such a mistake could literally make you cringe at just the site of one.
No safety glasses while putting his face next to a spinning lathe...
(don't get me wrong, I love this guy and these videos are amazing)
ChristmasLights And the wiggly anvil... He's clearly not German.
Rion Rich I'm bothered by the absence of women in these videos...
Only bearded men in sweaters
@@sharonsharon2604 From my perspective the only reason that it shows a bearded guy in a sweater is that he's the one making the tool. If it was a woman making the tool I have no doubt it would show the woman. What these videos focus on is not the patriarchal tendencies of contemporary society; these videos focus on the process of turning raw materials into tools and buildings. If you desire to see women featured in these videos i suggest checking out "The Birth Of A Wooden House." which is also featured on this channel, it details the crafting of the house in which, Jacob, the founder of Northmen, his wife, and their daughters, live. Though there are no female woodworkers shown, it shows both splendid craftsmanship and a deep love of family that shows us why men and women go to the lengths they do in order to cultivate human connection for both themselves and their children.
Thanks for the great videos! As if was in a fairy tale!
Love the craft, the videography, the music choice. Top notch!
How do you even put this through any sort of hard work? Their such a piece of art, labor intensive art. Crafted with the upmost care and precision, how do you expect me to get any sort of work done with this. I would be so worried I'm using it wrong and chip an edge, or snap the handle, or who knows. If I owned one of these I don't know how I could ever bring myself to using it. But as a builder myself, I understand that if a tool is made, it is to be used. And these tools, these individual masterpieces, are dying to be used to the best of their abilities. I need to see one in person. I hope that they start taking orders again soon.
+Adam Slater I see what you mean, but I almost feel like they are a blank page, and the chips or scratches tell a story and it grows and personalizes the tool for you as it stays with you for your life. Eventually it will show your wear patterns in the handle and will become one of a kind, like your leather jacket and baseball glove. You can't ge tthat out of a $10 tool you can replace at Menard's.
+Steven Micko This is the truth. Yes, tools of this kind are meant to be used, but also cared for. Hit an old nail in an old timber and chip the edge; craft a new edge. These tools are timeless so long as they are owned by a craftsman who appreciates fine tools and knows the true value associated with them. Use them indeed. When their broke, mend them with your own hand with the care only a true craftsman can apply.
+Steven Micko Also, there may be times where for instance a slick can no longer be used for that purpose. However, that tool can be repurposed and made to do other things such as chiseling or hell maybe even splitting kindling to start your forge to make a tool of your own. Tools like these have a soul. The purpose isn't always what defines them. These don't come from Home Depot.
thank you so much for using Bon Iver with this video! true craftsmanship
Texan_Strongstorm what song was it
@@fullerva1 Re: Stacks
More videos please!
amazing...
Just like dad taught me.... Every good woodcarver has a bald patch on the back of his hand... Lol
It smoothens the surface of the wood. It is like a polishing method.
I am loving all these Northmen vids, you guys have a great thing here.......What is the Bee's wax in the form of honey combs used to do? If I have that wrong and it is the honey or something else, sorry. But I have so many questions lol.
I love bon iver and axes and these videos oh my gosh can i apprentice with you guys?
Demn, I would pay, just to stand in his worshop and observe this man at work.
My mind is relax... Thank you!
Am i the only one who sees the human face at 2:41?
+Beta Vulgaris (A View From Europe) Looks like Sirius Black out of Harry Potter
I did too.
clear as day! wow
I love that there are some of us in this world that still try our best. Good luck to you.
I really don't do that much wood work to justify having this magnificent tool, but omg, I so want one!!!
Am I the only one who thinks that after all that handcraft, the laser tag seems like out of place?
Well, we must - not totally - flee to another age in time! :)
Emiliano Sanchez I thought about that, but honestly I think it's ok to embrace newer technology as long as you also stay true to what works. I also saw a powered grinder and a table saw but those didn't bother me.
Was thinking the same thing
I'm glad they used it. I've never seen a laser in action, I had no idea how names were imprinted on things,, Pretty cool, along with the superb craftsmanship.
Wow good video qulity in 2012
was that an actual honey comb and why did he rub it on the chisel?
Saul Goodman it acts as a coating and stops the metal form rusting
Raqueesha Dollarzal to me it taste good
Raqueesha Dollarzal that's beeswax
NODENS God of the ocean, hunt, healing and hounds. That's freaking awesome
I'm still confused by your user name
More videos like this need to be made. Just the beauty of this, is phenomenal. the only thing i don't like is putting that beautiful handmade chisel in that laser cutter to engrave the name. maybe carve it instead?? would look a lot nicer and not manufactured
每一次看视频、听背景音乐和观看匠人的工艺，都是一种享受，希望有一天我也能打造一把自己的Tool
Love the video! What does rubbing honeycomb do to the metal?
I would LOVE to learn how to do the things that you do in your Birth of a Tool videos. You craftsmanship is beautiful !!!! You are a dying breed good sir and that surely is a shame.
These are great, you may also consider releasing these without music, the sound of workshopping is great ASMR relax time.
Man, it's all about hard working and loving thing what you are doing, not about laying on the soffa or office chair and farting.
0:45, Forged in Fire wishes they had contestants as real as this guy, you can see him place fuel on hot coals barehanded.
I keep coming back to these videos. seems like the perfect life.
What are the honeycombs for?
MDrebellion rust protection and it also gives the steel a nice patina.
Thx
There’s some neat tricks hiding in here. And it’s hard to get a more natural beeswax finish than that.
Got spooked by the guy at the end - he is my doppelganger from 30 years ago! :)
What does the honeycomb do to the steel??
this is the same guy who built the house, isn't it?
Please teach me your ways!!!
absolutely beautifully put together and edited do you do much color editing on these pieces
These videos are always awesome and yet he seems to have more then a few nitwits that downvotes him in every video WHY????
Just ordered my 3 5/8 flat slick! Can't wait to use it.
Have you gotten it yet? If so, how is it?
@@landminehopscotch3617 it’s really nice, sorry so long answering this. :)
What happened to part one with the axe? Logged into youtube tonight just to see it again.
:-/
beautiful tool really enjoyed your work
Why would anyone dislike this amazing video
can't wait to see it. You are an artist Sir.
Very nice. Fine craftsmanship.
Do you have a lean how DVD out yet.
Great video what's the song?
True craftsmanship. Exquisite.
Is it weird that I have watched this about 20 times this week?
This is so amazing. I want to film work like this. Gahh love it. Very gifted.
Beeswax--it coats and finishes the iron while bringing out the beauty of the forged metal.
Could you please tell me why honeycomb is utilized, and what are the advantages of using honeycomb over other possible substitutes?
Seals the steal and keeps it from rusting and its more natural and a better resource
nice slick
beautiful craftsmanship accompanied by beautiful music,..... This is the intelligent persons pornography!!!
What's the functionality of honey in this case?
Wonderful skill.nice to watch
I just love the smell of Bees wax as it hears up on hot steel.
Whats the name of the tool he's using in the beginning to thin out the metal? I need to make one for myself but I can't find out the name for one so its hard to find information.. It's a some kind of a roller press thingy thing
Rolling mill.
These videos are so relaxing. I had a really stressful day and then I found your videos. Thank you for making these.
It's nice to see someone make one thing, from start to finish, and do it perfectly with such skill.
Song: Bon Iver - Re:Stacks. U're welcome.
Who would dislike this?! Good cameraworks, good music, amazing works of arts... Seriously!
These are my favorite smithing videos.
what is the purpose of using the sawdust on the finished handle after it was sanded?
It's called burnishing, it closes the pores in the wood and gives a smoother more consistent texture to the wood
2:35 face in the metal !
@SelfLESSnessIsKey it is usual wood turners lathe.
Ditto! Where is part 1!!!
FML charlie simpson. throwback much
Amazing!
Very nice!
A Slick chisel!!!! You inspired me to try making one in the future. Thanks!!!!
