Gorgeous! Ancalagon the black, the biggest of Tolkien’s dragons.

[@OldHickoryForge]

That's a serious forge welding operation there. Well done!

[@HeavyForge]

Thanks John!💪🏻

[@JPsBladeworks]

In love the look of the cable. It came out so nice and crisp

[@TyrellKnifeworks]

I love how it came out! The epic landscape shots of Anchorage are beautiful too!

[@HeavyForge]

Thanks Denis!

[@aurysage3043]

All of you seem to be going different directions in your challenge. Makes for some very interesting viewing. Looking forward to watching the judging.

[@leppicknives9830]

Really nice chopper axe and really nice place where you are living. Landscape was truly out of this world.

[@HeavyForge]

Thank you!

[@RainyDayForge]

The etch on the cable looks super dope!!! It's awesome that you'll have a functional piece to bring along with you on your outings.

[@stephenjohnson6841]

What an awesome project/ax! I love the pattern of the cable! Best of luck in this chopper challenge! Thanks again Spencer!

[@HeavyForge]

Thank you!! And thanks for watching!

[@RedBeardOps]

Man, that thing came out awesome! Great work sir!

[@HeavyForge]

Thanks a lot man!

[@memati1110]

Wow, the pattern has hypnotised me 😅.
Well done 👍
Wish you the best

[@Drew_lininger]

Crazy cool pattern and axe! Looks very functional 🔥

[@DBCraftWorld]

From the process I've just seen I can say without any doubts: forging a hatchet is incredibly hard! The second part of the video is very unconventional but I enjoyed it even more than making the axe itself! Great work Spencer! I really like the multiple way you show how the hatchet perform! And I love the handle! Looks awersome!

[@HeavyForge]

Thanks man!! Wanted to show using the tool in a real world environment but I’d rather have chopped up a moose with it!😂

[@DBCraftWorld]

@@HeavyForge ...But there wasn't any moose out there, right? lol!

[@familyonamissiongo4790]

From one construction guy to another
Good job

[@HeavyForge]

Thanks you!👊🏻

[@brysonalden5414]

Well, now we know it's possible to make a beautiful little ax using your technique, if we had your skill. Very nicely done, sir. The title sort of threw me; couldn't imagine making an integral ax.

[@redwolfknives3174]

Amazing build. That’s the coolest integral hatchet!

[@HeavyForge]

Thank you!

[@maguslascivious4980]

That's nice, came out awesome. Full tang hatchets are nice.

[@sigmaforge5088]

Just a beautuful piece. Thanks for sharing your process

[@minnesotatomcat]

I like your work, and way of thinking. Some guys waste way too much time cleaning the metal. You got yourself a new subscriber brother 👍

[@HeavyForge]

Thanks man! And thanks for watching!!

[@y-notforge8913]

..Well done sir. That pattern is going to be hard to beat. It may be a bit thin however it performs...!

[@HeavyForge]

Thank you!

[@PJTForging]

This is so awesome! Love the bushcraft at the end also! 🤘🔥

[@HeavyForge]

Thanks man!!

[@TonySeverioKnives]

Came out great man!

[@ElliottCondon-qb7vw]

Awesome video Spencer, great explanation of the process and it was really cool seeing it in action and a few of the things it could be useful for. Really enjoyed the forging process as well, I’ll be needing one soon haha. 10/10. Thing is a beauty too.

[@sidneyriggs9764]

That is awesome very cool.

[@matthewjamestaylor]

Great job!! Thanks for sharing. Cheers.

[@HeavyForge]

Thank you! And thanks for watching!!

[@douglaswoodard3412]

[@cryp2nite947]

Awesome, great work!

[@jamesperkins9833]

Your work always impresses!

[@HeavyForge]

[@NickToland]

She is a beauty! Instant subbed

[@HeavyForge]

Thank you!! and thanks for watching!!!

[@Jokerkles]

The marshmallows were a nice touch lol

[@HeavyForge]

😂😂😂

[@SmittyTutDesigns]

Too Cool!! :D

[@imperfectionist2575]

Didn't quite get my vote, but well done, and you definitely did get my sub!

[@HeavyForge]

Thank you and thanks for watching!!

[@billcarroll1766]

Wicked AX

[@ClenioBuilder]

👏👏👏👏👏👏🤜🤛

[@wierd-al_3336]

Cool design. The cable is a cool idea.
Silly question. The cutting edge on a dozer blade thats removable. Is that low carbon?

[@HeavyForge]

Yes it is low carbon. Thanks for watching!!

[@Arwndr]

Nice job! Why you don't put inside cutting part real blade with 1-1.2% of carbon?
Those spring steel has only ~0.6% (good for side or back, but not enough for cut blade)

[@HeavyForge]

Thank you! .6% Carbon is plenty for a chopping tool. 4140 makes very nice axes. Thanks for watching!

[@efro4812]

Great work as usual…..but when are you gonna do more wootz?😉

[@HeavyForge]

Thank you and I’m the coming months I plan on filming the forging process of a ingot with phosphorus.

[@ramonpizarro]

Im doing the rounds of the chopper challenge, you get a like and a subscription my friend

[@anthonystrunk5360]

What did that spring come from? Lol.. I need one of those! Great job!

[@HeavyForge]

Railcar. Thanks for watching!

[@anthonystrunk5360]

@Heavy_Forge I have a train spring but mine is only about 7/8 inch.. awesome build..

[@TheoryMaK15-255]

Sorry man... If you can accept critisim or dislike to make you a better man. then I'm sorry its not worth subing ma. Nice channel poor attatude about it.

[@Little_River_Forge]

What are you talking about?

[@406751]

Dude….. freaking amazing job. Looks awesome!!

[@HeavyForge]

Thank you!! And thanks for watching!!
