WOW... Very good craftsmanship. Nice to see someone forging without using powertools, good job. Good layout on the different steps. I love it. A true work of art..
I ordered a rounding hammer from you yesterday and thought i would check out some of your videos and i am glad i did. You do awesome work! Cant wait to get my hammer! Thanks!
I ordered a bowl adze from from your Etsy shop. I can't wait to get it. You seem quite skilled, so I'm sure it'll be a great tool. Excellent video too, wish you would make more.
dirk d probably I will make more, but I don't know when, follow my fb page and my etsy store to stay up to date with what is available. Thanks for watching
Can you tell me the dimensions of the starting pieces. When i have enough experience I'd like to make one and I'm planning on using an old bush hog blade for the blade end
hiya really liked the video im considering starting this as a hobby where did u learn how to and can u recommend any good books or sites etc that are starter friendly mainly im wanting to look at making axes and knives saves buying them any advice would be much appreciated by anyone cheers
what is your step down measurements? and fantastic job I've been looking for someone to do a bearded axe that doesn't use a power hammer and it doesn't get much better than that great job
do you still have your power hammer ? Don't mark over the egde of the anvil cold steel. One day you will blunt them or do a hugde chip. Btw.Nice axe. One more thing.....i can see anvil in the back what brand it is ? How much it weight and why you are not forging on it ?
yes, I do still have the powerhammer, I will do more videos with it in the future. Don't worry about the edges, they are welded on with hard facing rods, they do wear with time but it is a really convenient way to mark material and I can always repair them. the anvil in the back is one I made myself and I only use it for finer stuff and more accurate work since it has the flatter face. thank you for commenting
I would dare to say that it is hard for him to keep the lighting correct because when you have bright things going on , the camera lowers the exposure and automatically gets darker , sort of like when you look at something bright and close your eye lids so that you can see , not to mention that camera cannot show how hot the steel actually is because it always seems colder then it actually is , for example when in reality you heat something to yellow hot , it will show like it is red hot
Amazing job as a historic blacksmith tradesmen of over ten years I love this video! Lovely work well done! Great job laying out the steps!
I ordered a 3 lb rounding hammer from your etsy shop and its my favorite smithing hammer. Great job.
Hands down the coolest video of axe making and what a gorgeus axe too! I could watch this over and over again
You are one of the best I have seen on ax making, very good
Man, I love to watch a forging video where the Smith really knows how to move metal. Well done...
Nicely done!
Torbjörn Åhman Thank you! Nice to hear that from another craftsman.
I have a question do you guys know what steel lawnmower blades are made of and can I forge weld it to leaf spring?
yep nice
@@chrissoto7187 breh, use google.
Nicely done. First time ive seen thos style of forging a bit, ive only used a hardenable steel and welded it to the head. Gonna have to give this a go
Very nice to watch the craftsmanship you put in this art. I try and learn something new every day.
That Sir is a great looking axe. I think you did a great job and one heckuva blacksmith
WOW... Very good craftsmanship. Nice to see someone forging without using powertools, good job. Good layout on the different steps. I love it. A true work of art..

Could watch you do this all day bro fantastic work
Well done , good old skool ethic in the hands...
This is what I call ART. Thanks.
I really like that you welded the beard on rather than drew it out. ).
Lot of work but is worth it, nice job 👍👍
subbed, just for the fact that you did most of the shaping in the forge and not the grinder :)
Respect, the gods of Valhalla would be proud of you. Damn your a good blacksmith 🤘🤘😎😎🇧🇪🇧🇪

Excellent video brother. Where can I find steel of thickness used in this video?
Do you foresee any more of these for sale in the near future??
Hi, awesome job. I was wondering, how many hour took you to craft an axe like this? Thanks!
Un trabajo muy bueno te felicito desde España
Where did you find enough Vikings to make it?
Very good Job! 👍🏻👍🏻
Is it necessary to harden the blade in oil? Or can that just be done in water too?
Ward Van Damme It can be done both ways, it just depends on the steel
I learned alot today im young and i dont own a forge buy im spending money for one .also in wondering what is that pounder u put on the hot metal?
Um machado fantástico. Parabéns
gorgeous, would you know of a diagram at the stage where you are taking the steel to half-width-ish before folding it to make the eye?
Very good job 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Amazing
I definitely wanna try forging my own axes. Any pointers how to get started? Never forged in my life.
Best if you start with blacksmithing basics and move to axes later on.
Wow beautiful job sir
Do you see any more of these for sale in the future sir??)

Beautiful craftsmanship what do you charge for an axehead???
Nice. My wife jusf ordered a hammer from you for me. Cant wait :-)
do you still have your power hammer ? Don't mark over the egde of the anvil cold steel. One day you will blunt them or do a hugde chip. Btw.Nice axe. One more thing.....i can see anvil in the back what brand it is ? How much it weight and why you are not forging on it ?
yes, I do still have the powerhammer, I will do more videos with it in the future. Don't worry about the edges, they are welded on with hard facing rods, they do wear with time but it is a really convenient way to mark material and I can always repair them. the anvil in the back is one I made myself and I only use it for finer stuff and more accurate work since it has the flatter face. thank you for commenting
Ok I understand :) Keep a good work !
What kinda quench oil do you use
U can use motor oil or canola oil or vegetable oil
Badass. how do I get started on stuff like this?
Espectacular !!!
hi, how long to forge this axe? Which steel do you use?
Mild steel for the body and 1075 for the edge.
How big was that starting stock? It looks really small on video
What type of steel did you use for the axe? Looks like 1/2" x 1" (12mm x 25mm) stock?
Good video and axe! Just as a little constructive criticism try to use better lighting in your clips!
I would dare to say that it is hard for him to keep the lighting correct because when you have bright things going on , the camera lowers the exposure and automatically gets darker , sort of like when you look at something bright and close your eye lids so that you can see , not to mention that camera cannot show how hot the steel actually is because it always seems colder then it actually is , for example when in reality you heat something to yellow hot , it will show like it is red hot
