Really pumped to be bringing these 12 axes to you today!
This particular series of axes is made from reclaimed railroad steel dated 1908 by the Great Northern train company, a rare find in British Columbia. For a short time around the turn of the last century the Great Northern made an attempt to battle the Canadian Pacific train company to draw out natural resources from within BC but after some fierce rivalry decided to abandon the rail line.
The head of the axe is hand forged completely out of this rail steel and is fully hardened and tempered to ensure long lasting durability. Each head is stamped with the date of the rail (1908), the serial number of the axe and the makers mark on the front.
The handle is 24” long made from hickory and fitted with a black walnut wedge.
Each axe comes with a custom leather sheath that has been made to protect the user from the razor sharp edge.

Ok, ya'll ran over my web store so fast for these puppies, I figured I better start making some more! Next drop going to be around end of January 2021! If you want more details and keep up to date on this drop, please follow me on instagram as I try to be current with progress and behind the scene work! Instagram name @timothy.dyck Thank you to all the interest and support! Really means a lot to me!
I definitely will buy one Tim.. Can I pre-pay for it???
@@bulldozer7656My next drop is scheduled for end of January 2020 first come first serve. Thanks for asking!
@@TimothyDyck what about a commission to make one? Email me direct b0danni48114@gmail.com, I'll delete this comment after. Thanks so much!
I don't have an instagram account. How's it going with the next batch? Has it sold out yet?
I'm looking for a Birthday present for my father. He's 81 and his birthday is February 28th.
@@rocky3075 Shhhh! Don't go telling everyone lol. Trying to get one for myself
Sold Out! Thank you to everybody for the support! it means a lot!
i missed out... Hoping to get one next time!
Sorry I missed it, but congrats!
Fuck. I only just got the alert to this video.
Congratulations Timothy. That's great news that they all sold so quickly, nothing less than you deserve.
Damn those sold quick, looks like an amazing tool. Hopefully you keep making them in small limited runs so I can get one eventually lol.
One left! Don't wait if you are thinking about it! Again thank you to everybody who has bought one!
alright ill wait for the next batch and style
might i point you towards a pack out size hatchet ?
maybe a 1 or 2 pound 20 incher ? something i can build a fire with whilst hunting
also hows that titanium hammer treating you ? ? ? ? ?
Currently have 4 Axes left at 6:29pm! If you are thinking about one, don't wait! A huge thank you to everybody who has bought one! So grateful!
Not that I've ever re-handled an axe head, but a tip from Essential Craftsmen is to sharpen the axe head on the very last step, after it's on the handle. If you're looking to make a lot of these, perhaps look into the "Russian knife sharpener" that Cody from Wranglerstar has a few videos about. Makes consistent, razor edge sharpening easy.
Another thing I've heard about making the axe head stay on for a long time is to soak the head of the axe (with the handle in) in boiled linseed oil overnight. People would do this with water but it would dry up over time and make the handle loose. Oil fills the cells of the wood and stays there.
Looks like I will have to be grabbing one of those, my Great Grandfather worked as a structural engineer on the Great Northern from 1891 to 1911 designing and building bridges.
Only 2 left! 6:37pm Would love to see you get one before they are gone! Huge thank you to everybody who has bought one!
wow!!selling like a hot cake Tim =]
What was the cost?
So cool to recycle old rail steel. I have a few pieces of the old narrow gauge rail from franklin county Maine. Who knows, might give it a try. Best of luck in the new venture. Super nice axes and history. Thank you for showing us the build.
Very nice! Great idea for blacksmith merch and well made! Nice to see the process and grats on the 100 YO railroad track.
A fellow Canadia and man I love this guy! Just started watching and already got that notification bell on.
Keep up the amazing content and no doubt you'll only grow.
Really kewl to see this. My grandfather had one the originals used it for spliting kindling and when he was trapping. He made a newer handle about maybe 1/3 as long again.
Oh no way! Thats so cool! Have any pictures?
Awesome video. I love how you kept it in real time whilst using the power hammer. I haven't see a video yet without slow mo or ff
Damascus coffee mug! Doo it
Much love to Buckin' Billy Ray for putting me up on you and what you do. Beautiful work, thank you for sharing your talents with us!
Time to turn dem notifications on for the next batch!!! unfortunately missed out on this one...
Maybe next Batch could be bowie knives???????
👍👍just saw you on the making of the BULLET. For Billy Ray!!👍👍👍👍👍
Such a cool thing to make out of this material. I can tell you are improving a lot over the years. Keep it up Tim, you’re excellent at what you do.
Top notch work Sir !
Between you and Martin mate this axe is awesome , Youse make a grate team .. :)
You should do a crossover episode with Hand Tool Rescue and have him restore your press/power hammer combo.
That was awesome to watch All the best from Lancaster, England
Great info on the rail, I got some (canadian) that has 1899 on it, I'll have to see what else it says
Wow amazing. If you would every be interested in selling/trading some I’d love to chat about it. If that interests you send me a email. Info@timothydyck.com 😊
Bought #63 on a later drop, one hell of a great axe! Great job man, really appreciate the craftsmanship!
Awesome! Thank you! Really appreciate your support!
You can use truck leaf spring steel too, incase you run out of steel pieces to forge swords, axes, spears, machetes, daggers, and etc.
definitely gotta start selling those beautiful handles
Rail Splitter from a Rail, I love it! 😁👍
Looks like an awesome axe!! Nice price for it too. Thanks for showing how you made it!

Next drop planned for end of January 2021. Follow me on instagram if you want more details on the axe drop as I update more often there!

It might be killing a mouse with an elephant gun ......
You might look into Magnafluxing to disclose hidden cracks, flaws in the stock. It's pretty straight forward.
Way to go Timothy make the heck out of them!

Amazing my friend. These are beautiful and love everything about them!
Super nice awesome work!!!!

Axes look great! Good job!
Buckin Billy Ray sent me awesome work
Keep making Them, i would really like to own one of those axes
Cool to see you do that as a one heat challenge :)
I’m not that good! Haha.
Well done, start to finish!
This is truly incredible Tim! - Kenny
Have you ever tried making Viking style axes,?
New to your channel. Good stuff brother 👍🏻
If someone had a collaboration with buckin Billy Ray Smith on axe design. And made an heirloom splitting axe, then I'd definitely buy for like 4 or 5 hundred bucks.
Great quality and price. I really like the rail date.
Thank you! Really appreciate it!
That’s a cool machine!🔥⚒💪🏻
Those are totally sweet man!
Fantastic work!
I have a jar of odie’s dark myself, and it’s not nearly as dark as yours. Any chance you can ask your friend that gave you that finish if he used any additional colorants and if so how much?
If they all sold out immediately at that price you should make alot more stuff. Like damn.
Wot, no train rail chain mail?
Love the axe I’d love one fantastic job well done TD.👍🇬🇧🤘🍺
So you have an Ax to Grind?
The Next drop is on my birthday and i hope i can get one!!!
Send a hello to Buckin Billy Ray on yt, I'm sure he would be just amazed by the idea of getting one of those.
Hells yes
Very nice product.
Thank you! Very kind.
Your axes are sharper than my pocket knife, and I've been teaching myself to sharpen with water stones... :|
Damnit, sold out.
Yep! Next drop planned for end of January 2021. Follow me on instagram if you want more details on the axe drop as I update more often there!
Are you still using that titanium hammer quite a bit?
You should say the price Tim, so people who might be interested can know if they are in or out.
Freakin awesome!!
Check out Liam Hoffman's channel for ideas on you axe making processes.
Sorry, but this is not hand forged , it's machine forged, hand it's white hand hammer. Sorry my English.
Now I wish I had $350 to spend.
nice work!
Good stuff!
new video!
lets gooooo
Quantos quilos pesa o machado depois de botar o cabo amigo poderia me informar por favor 👍
Shiiiiit!! missed out!!! When is your next run ?
13:00 “subtitles” Music
I would love to get one with a Unicorn engraved on it
350$ is kind of steep when you can buy a similar pattern hultafor forged for less then 100. What are the differences/advantages?
Whould anyone be able to tell me what's the name of the machine that trims and shapes the axe heads? Thank you
I have absolutey no need for an axe for anything, but man i want one :)
Damn it...
What’s the story behind the 1913 train rail?
Will you make more ?
Yep, next drop planned for end of January 2021. Follow me on instagram if you want more details on the axe drop as I update more often there!
Is that USSR lathe 1k62? Where did you get it?
I'll have to be faster next time if I want one! And, Tim, could you tell me what heat treatment do you do on them?
Thanks! We normalize two times, then quench in oil, then temper for 2 hours at 400 F. It’s not a recipe for all RR. If we make axes from different RR then I would have to retest and dial it in. Hope that answers your question.
@@TimothyDyck absolutely. Thanks!
"I'm just really weak." ~Tim, blacksmith
somethings wrong, i can feel it
Hi Timothy,
like your content very much.
Poorly I have seen your video too late to get an Axe, on one side for me to have a nice piece of blacksmithing and on the other side to support you.
But in the first place I have a small question.
Do you ship to EU - Germany? Would be very nice to get one of the second batch.
I would totally ship one to you in Germany, no problem! If your not following me on Instagram, please do as that stays most current for axe availability etc. Thanks.
NOOOOO.... I WANT ONE!!!
As an arborist, this would be a prized piece!
It totally would be! Next drop planned for end of January 2021. Follow me on instagram if you want more details on the axe drop as I update more often there!
Thanks Timothy!!
Hey Tim! New sub, Buckin sent me.
Thanks and welcome
Whats it like forging with the titanium hammer compared to a steel hammer ?
Is rail a good enough steel don't you need a high carbon bit
I would really like to see you do an american felling axe. Similar to the ones that are made by northmen.
What oil do you use for he sheaths? I really like that finish
Do you plan to make more?
Yep, next drop planned for end of January 2021. Follow me on instagram if you want more details on the axe drop as I update more often there!
