Get 4 identical bars of steel. Leave one as it is. Heat the second one red hot and let it cool on its own. Heat the third one red hot and quench it in water. Heat the fourth one red hot and quench it in oil. Now, press-test the 4 bars to see how their strength is affected by various heat-treatment techniques.
depending on what steel you use and what it needs to be quenched in, it simply wont harden, will crack, or not harden correctly and develop heavy distortions. Or it will just cool down and be no different than before. Quenching in water is faster than quenching in oil. Say you have a piece of steel that needs to be quenched fast to achieve its best properties, you quench in water. If you quench that piece in oil, it wont cool down fast enough and thus not harden correctly.
5! Leave one outside in a field in the weather to rust for 1 year (or more preferably) . We do this with engine blocks to harden them. Bring them in, clean them up, bore them out and holy snikees!

I thought that you can see it nicely on the high speed shot that the small axe gets destroyed? but maybe its not clear if you don't know it in advance?
Those axes that seem softer are leaps and bounds better as what an axe is designed to do. Chop wood. You can take an handaxe like a Estwing, traditional steel, leather handle wrap, vs a Fiskar version with…whatever steel it uses and fiberglass handles, and I’ll take the fiskar every time. I’m not saying it’s better overall, but as a chopper, the fiskar is amazing. Holds an edge, and is easily sharpened. The Estwing is an durable axe, but it doesn’t chop as good, it’s heavier, and much harder to sharpen….but it’s durable. So if your going into a post apocalyptic era, the Estwing might last longer. Because of materials. But the fiskar style will preform ridiculously better for a time too.
Weird tool idea: large tapered head with a conical cup to interface with. 10° off vertical is what stackable cups use, it'd be interesting to see stuff smooshed into that form.
Is it just me who has no idea what he is saying when he says the axe names haha. Also could we possibly get the camera back up to see your reactions. Those are the best
Next time, have 2 alignment bolts on each side of each ax, one high up and one near the base, on each side. Should help eliminate deflection issue. Cheers

Here is a very Finish challenge that would be interesting especially due to recent events in the world - crushing ice with the press. You can put up against each other 1) ice 2) ice with saw dust mixed in. Adding saw dust makes the ice so much stronger that during WWII Allied troops actually used ice mixed with saw dust for walls around their forts in the north because it was supposedly strong enough to stop bullets and shrapnel from explosives. People even discussed building battleships out of it (I don't know if they ever actually did - but ice does naturally float on water - especially salt water). But, how much stronger is it than regular ice? That would be an interesting/very inexpensive test for the Hydraulic Press. You can read about mixing sawdust with the ice in wikipedia and on history sites on the internet! All you have to do is leave some water and water mixed with saw dust outside the shop over night!
Not really only difference is the effect of gravity and that's so incredibly weak compared to the power of the hydraulic press. Say if the top blade weigh 1.9 Kg and the press exerts 19 tons of pressure like in the last test then it's the weight adds 0.01 % to the pressure. But even then it's applied equally to the top and the bottom, so no difference what so ever...
Who woulda thought that a guy crushing stuff in a hydraulic press could build such an awesome channel on YT over the years? People really are strange creatures, and so long as dudes with heavy machines are willing to destroy stuff just to see what happens, cool channels will always have a place lol.
What do you mean "of course" . It's based on hardness. LOL. It's based on hardness not thickness or mass. That's like saying a razor blade won't go through a potato because the potato is thicker. Hmm. We'll have to agree to disagree.
Hmm, this test is probably not very representative of a quality axe, because hardness and shatter resistance tend to be inverse. Hard metal shatters easily, so you'd expect the hardest blade to also potentially shatter first. Also, most axes break on the handle far before the blade fails.
I loved this video and shared it. Thank you. This was awesome to watch. I laughed so hard with the Nord VPN cake getting pressed. Such a cool video throughout. Good job. Loved it.
Thank you for all those pressure tests. I'm wondering; have you ever tried a piece of metal from railroads? That metal is very, very hard. If you want to drill a hole in it, all your drills will be destroyed before you even get a decent hole.

This makes no sense. Each manufacturer hardened his steel with different hrc. Lower hrc means the steel took more damage but is easier to refine. Just opposing steels without mentioning the hrc is worthless. It's not always the hardest steel that's the better one...
Just an idea....but all axes are not the same, a felling axe for example is best for well felling trees whereas a finishing axe is better for shaping a timber... I would think the different types of axes would possibly alter the results with diffetent characteristics needed for their given Job....so testing based on the type of axe might be a good experiment.

1:30 hot pee in the snow. I have never heard this one before🤣😂
Just an idea....but all axes are not the same, a felling axe for example is best for well felling trees whereas a finishing axe is better for shaping a timber... I would think the different types of axes would possibly alter the results with diffetent characteristics needed for their given Job....so testing based on the type of axe might be a good experiment.
I hate seeing a good Fiskars being destroyed, but I like the channel!
