Found an old axe head in the shed so I decided to make it into something different. The wood I used for the handle is Jarrah. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต

Great work, thanks for sharing!
Keep up the good work !!!
Not bad kid... It takes ingenuity and follow through to do what you did there... documenting the process isn't something I do myself, but I tend to watch a lot of... If you don't mind my saying though. your shaper that you used to sand away the rough cuts... I wouldn't be surprised if you ruin a lot of sanding belts that way. maybe knock down the edges a bit more. it'll save you some time and be less stress on the belts... when sharpening the blade edge... follow the wide edge in a sweeping motion turning it with the contour... you get things a lot sharper that way... Good luck in the future bud... great post, and if you need any pointers on steel work or fabrication... hit me up... I like seeing young men involved in the industrial trades. It's a hard life, but a great one.
Duke Pflieger-I'm not an adult yet but my dad does a lot of steel working to mostly on cars that he flips (fixes then sells)
(*too*)
Love it!
Even though it doesn't look anything like a historical viking axe, it's still very beautiful and nice looking.
Andiders yeah I was gonna say haha
Makes it look so easy, like I wish I knew half this stuff lol
Awesome job Steve, really amazing work on that one.
These are incredibly satisfying to watch. Kick ass axe!
When I make things, I too like to start with the finished product.
And once he is done
"My ancestors are smiling at me imperials!.....can you say the same?"
"I used to be an adventurer like you, then I took an arrow to the knee"
"ah, you smell like wet dog"
Awesome piece of artwork!
that axe is just beautiful!
Making an Axe.
Step One: Start with an Axe.
mrthebillman Same thing I was thinking. More of a reshaping than making project. On the plus side it probably cut sticks before the reshaping too.
mrthebillman right

And destroy a authentic old axe.
finally a Viking axe making video without all the raping and pillaging . thanks bro .
Viking are a bunch of rapist? Are they perhaps goblin incarnate?
What a beautiful looking axe. A class A effort. Well done!!
Damn !! I only came here to see the end result. but never expected so many axe experts to have commented either !! So this is where all the viking axe experts hang out !!
damn it why do these people never have guards on their angle grinders ? Its insane, i know as I have the scars to prove it. But still awesome work anyway, beautiful workmanship.
why do you take it off?
to get more freedom of movement on them.
ive never needed to take it off
some discs are too big to have the guard on. Ive taken mine off a couple of time because of that
Same, but it scares the crap out of me. Yet when i got cut the guard didnt stop it. I was working in the chassis of a semi trailer and the crossbeam I cut closed up and spun the grinder out of my hands and into my chin and chest.
hey dude
just a knife you should make
the Columbia knifer/karambit
anyway keep up the good work
You do nice work. Beautiful crafting.
Love it man, just beautiful!
Beautiful work. I particularly like the way you left most of the metal on the axes sides distressed without resurfacing. It gives it a brilliant look. What type of wood did you use for the handle?
Jarrah is the wood that he listed in the description.
buttered sausage
Awesome work dude! Love this video :) Made a video like this about a year a go it is my most watched video! You did such a good job, so much better than mine. Subscribed :) Maarten, 17, Holland
Miller Knives Oh wow! That is really cool :) Don't think you need any help because your work is amazing and the videos have loads of views! Keep up the great work.
Awesome job! Looks great!
Awesome 'Viking style' axe.... great work...
If I want to do this, how would I go about making the curves all nice and clean without a belt sander???
You would need to make your cuts finer ( more little cuts) and get closer to the finished shape. Then you would have to use a file. LOTS of handwork, but it can be done.
Grinding disc, File and things like that. Not that hard, just more time consuming.
Looks great, just has little to do with vikings or an actual battle axe. A really nice looking woodaxe, tho. me jelly.
very dull however
+Bengt Svenson and the grinding would have ruined the heat treat, so unless he just didn't show us that part, the thing won't be able to hold an edge worth a damn. nice as a show piece though
I don't think it was affected by the grinder, bc there was not enough heat generated.
That blade is also way too thick. Battleaxes' blades are super thin. That's a good blade to chop wood though. That handle is complete bullshit. Norse axes had a nice straight handle with no cloth or leather straped to it.
Leandro Ribeiro hey mate that guy put heaps of effort into that and your just being rude seriously?
Excellent work !!! ... be proud, be Viking !!!
really nice conversion of an axe
Ive only watched 2 vids so far but from the penny claw folder vid I saw was posted (ill watch it next) Im assuming you live in the land downunder like me too. Im also going to assume you're a young guy from what I can see in the vids. You are doing some really rad shit. Unfortunately youtube attracts alot of deadshits and trolls that all have an opinion begging to be heard. Dont be put off by the waves of retarded comments. I really feel there is a better place for you to be seen. Try Australianbladeforums.com if you havent already. Keep up the great craftsmenship, I'll be following your progress.
well i just found a great site now cheers fellas love the work would love to do this stuff but work takes up to much time.
I wish I could move that fast.
@@crocodileman9712 HA GAY
You know it's spead up
@@kingofthemonsters8659 r/woooosh
devekut2 🥑
Videos like this are spead up so to make the video shorter
Nice seeing more videos from you.
beautiful piece of work !
i think the problem is that even with all that material removed, its still way to thick for a battle axe...like a one handed battle axe was way thinner than what a fellin axe would be. if you had gound down the sides so the thickness was alot thinner than that you would have had more of what a real battleaxe was like. but thats still really super...
That is true
Yeah, that irked me this entire video. It's a nice axe, but by no means an axe of war.
During the early medieval era of scandinavia, tool axes where more common on the battlefield than more specialised war axes... They work fine with shields.
+R3ika that's not true
R3ika could you please give some evidence to this, an article maybe or a paper written on that?
not to insult you but I do not think your sighting real facts there but perhaps giving a misconception
what is that sander brand?
I came to ask the same question. Besides knowing it's a "belt" sander, is it a specific type so I can search for one?
+Jeff Baker it's home made
looks like an 84 engineering shopmate 48 to me.
Love to see recycling. Looks great, keep it up.
Beautiful axe.
You should try making a viking seax
Seaxs are gay, mate. Ulfberhts for the win.
The fuck am I doing comparing a knife to a sword?
To the people saying "This is not a war axe". Of course not. But also you need to be more specific about what you mean.
many early "Viking era" axes found on battlesites, while maybe not as thick as a modern axe, were just as thick as the axes they used historically to cut wood. So why the false equivalence?
It's not like the "war axe" popped up out of nowhere. It was an evolution made by necessity from a progenitor tool. So what is a "battle axe"? Well it's an axe you take to battle...
Whether that's your grandpa's wood axe, or your brand new thin model made specifically for it. While, many people were able to go "Sure I have an axe for wood and an axe for killin'." There is a metric fuckton of blurry lines all through the archaeological record. The typology of period axes has many thicker variations than what one might consider a "war axe". In example... www.hurstwic.org/history/articles/manufacturing/pix/axe_assortment.jpg
Could he have gone to the grinder and made this more historically accurate? Sure. But don't counter with "That's not a Viking battle axe, it's too thick! that's for choping wood" as though thinness is what defines all Viking Era axes used in battle, and thickness defines the tool, because it's not that easy.
Hell, There's also no such thing as a "Viking style axe" any more than there are "French Meter maid burglar suits" or " American McDonald's employee ski masks"
But you're gonna let that one slide because why? Because you haven't done your homework.
indeed. Vikings were not a single people either, but rather came from a number of Nordic countries. Although it's now a noun it was actually a verb in Norse and meant raiding.
To them and me this looks more like a fantasy/role playing axe, and he added his own flair and styling to make it look good. They just want to point out that it's not authentic. Then, viewers might get curious and look for what it really looked like. You shouldn't have a problem with that.
KalteGeist an axe use to cut wood is to eavier than a "battle axe"
The battle axe is light bc you don't need a lot of metal to kill an human, instead of cut wood
So how does one aquire a "french meter maid burglar suit"? Sounds like fun
Absolutely a great job
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!! AAAWESOME WORK!!! BLESS YOU!!!
the axe head is awesome but the handle could use some work
Im Thing the handle is Bit to big for the smal Axe head
Выполнено красиво. Но практическое использование....слабое....на мой взгляд.
Труда вложил прилично.
Молоде
Utterly fascinating video.
Good Stuff....Nice axe, A joy watching you work.........
why do people have to be so critical of videos , i mean sure he probably didnt have a gaurd on his angle grinder or yes this is way to thick for a viking battleaxe but please just keep these comments to yourself .
the reason im mentioning this is because 90% of comments are critical instead of positive.
ZayWave not using a guard is pretty viking.
Not having a guard will kill you one day. It's not the sort of critical comment that you're meant to keep to yourself.
A smart man would rather hear critical comments than positive comments, because through critic you can learn to improve.
So many of you over thinking bastards it's Viking style say what you want but this this Viking style and it's not meant to be a battle axe, again it's just the style and yer it's not the sharpest axe ever for cutting wood it does the job and it can be sharpened more besides it's it was used in fight it still would be a fuck ton of damage
If it's "not meant to be a battle axe" then the title of the video is misleading, because it specifically refers to a "battle axe". But yes, the Vikings did have general purpose one handed axes. A battle axe would be thinner and lighter, a chopping axe thicker and heavier, with a wedge, and a general purpose axe somewhere in between.
You do great work.
very hard to find something that beautiful in a production run that's really good work
Just wear some gloves dude! You'll thank yourself in 30 years xD
Why?
this is like direstas axe video
True :D
ikr?
no
это даже не его руки на видео, не говоря об остальном
Epic work!
Great work!
sharpen yhat axe before demonstrations
is this really what you think battle axes looked like back in the day?
Scandinavian Huntsman Nope it's a fantasy-Viking-axe. Some people think Vikings as evil beasts with horns on there's helmets... Ps I'm also from Sweden
oh tjena! men det är fan nästan skrattretande att folk tror att dom vet om hur våra förfäder var när dom gör sånt här
shut the hell up and eat your ärtsoppa
Houman Prez ? i dont eat ärtsoppa
du spiser bare kjøttboller du vel xD
Amazing build
Very cool and beautiful again.
I don't think they had this style of handle back in Viking times. But I heard this from a youtube video by a guy named lindybiege and you can't always trust everything a youtuber says. What he did say the handle design was invented in the 1600s but I would later in another video hear him mention there were axes that had a strange curved handle like our modern times but were different soooo I say who gives a f*ck. It's a viking ax haha
it isnt meant to be an accurate representation
wulf arrow I know. I was just pointing it out to those that didn't. This is why I said, "I said who gives a f***." Accuracy isn't important.
Lindybeige (Lloyd) is not always right but he knows his stuff. I thnk he actually studied archaeology at university too. Scholagladiatoria (Matt Easton) and others (Skallagrim, Shadiversity, et al.) all know their stuff too, and they would all agree this is not a realistic Viking battle axe.
Испортил топор на тамакавк
Really, really nice job.
amazing make over !
that thing is dull as fuck
Lol, for real. I was cringing a bit when it took him 5 strikes to cut a 1-inch branch.
u shouldt forget that its missing a lot of weight
The viking battle axe was very light. It had a very THIN, sharp and wide blade. 1.5 KG / 3 lb was a standard weight.
+Breitermeiter that has nothijg to do with the cutting edge being incredibly dull. that branch was tiny. i know he wasnt using any force behind the hits but even still, it should chop through that with ease
a lot like you then.
looks like a weeb-axe.
Beautiful workmanship, amazing result
EPIC work as always 10 out of 10
"Viking style" is used rather loosely here. Like calling my digital Walmart watch a "Rolex-style" time piece.
+M. A. Packer
Curious comparison, when you know that the steel used in this axe is probably better than the best "Ulfberht" steel. It's rather comparing a digital walmart watch to an old mechanical pocket watch. Cheap, poorly made, with a negative connotation...but incredibly better for showing the time.
The axe shaped here is more "fantasy "viking" style"...but is better than any damascus steel from "viking" ages.
True, reminds me of Skyrim
it's not really a fantasy axe it's not light or made of stainless steel so. i would probably call it a destroyed felling axe.
Apathetic Indecisive you are all wrong it’s a hatchet
A war axe chopping wood is not cool dude. Chop some beef. Or maybe the neighbor's dog... Or the neighbor
Why the fuck the Neighboursdog
@@danielahuber8312 cuz it's the closest one can get to fighting a wolf like a good ol nord
These are somehow so satisfying to watch. See the metal get polished to perfection... Oh yeah.
beauty axe! nice job
All of that wasted metal. Subtractive creation is so absurd.
***** That's not what I'm talking about at all. That aspect is smart.
Additive building is like 3D printing, and is far more efficient than subtractive building, which is taking a block and carving it down.
There's a lot more waste in subtractive.
I don't hate him at all, he makes a valid point. Even though the creation is pretty and all, he wastes material (Sort of) I'm sure he could re-forge the tiny pieces.
+Roger Wilco We each have opinions, that's all it is.
***** Not really, but forcing your opinions down other people's throats, and telling them their opinions are not as good as your opinions is the literal definition of being a douche.
Check yourself.
***** If that's how you read what I wrote you have some issues to work through. Take care.
Badass axe man!
