Can't believe i'm just now seeing this. What a piece of Art. From the handle to the blade and spike it's amazing. Also a pleasure to watch it being made
I want so much to learn what you are doing. wish you could explain how you are heat treating and at what temperatures and for how much time. I Subscribed anyway hoping you could make a remake of this video and put in descriptions for people like me to learn how to do this correctly . Your videos are great !
Beautiful work, love the repurposing of old steel. I'd like to do this but dread the idea trying to forge it out by hand with the little skill I have. Out of curiosity what ended up going wrong with the first handle?
So - question: The neck of the handle of a ball-peen hammer seems a bit fine for the use an axe would get - I've cracked BP handles by not being careful-enough with them. > Have you had any problems with that (I've never made an axe that didn't end up getting thrown) - ?
Все понравилось, но проушина узкая надо было расширить, ручку лучше как на томагавке без клина, и термообработка, закалить надо было только лезвие, а так форма красивая респект 👍
Super cool brother.
Thanks brother!
This is exactly the blade and spike shape I have for a future project, well executed!
It looks like a pirate’s boarding axe but so very awesome to see how you made that nice work
What was the stuff you sprayed in it to turn it black?
Cold bluing solution, it's usually used on gun parts to protect the metal against rusting.

Subbed.
It looks like a bluing solution. Could also be a oil based paint in a spray. Although looking at the end product, I’m betting on a bluing finish
One of the coolest axes i have seen. Love it.

It's nice to hear work being done. It adds to the job at hand
Gorgeous ❤
Fine, fine work!
I love the disc sander made out of a fan motor I new i saved that for a reason thank you.
I can’t believe with all the videos and creators I’ve watched I’m just now seeing this and you. That is a fantastic piece and build. Great job!!!
Thanks so much 😊
Now that is unreal! Great work.
Thank you very much!
Other than pie I think that's probably the best use for a pumpkin .😂
Impressive, VERY impressive ‼‼‼👍👍👍
What a great transformation, we'll done.
Great job! And a Beautiful piece anyone would be happy to have.
Absolutely beautiful
Wow, thats awesome
This is the most beautiful axe I've ever seen, awesome work!
Axe be lookin' hella dope, @CurtisHaaland!
Turned out great! That's actually one of the things I'm planing to do, only by hand, don't have a press, yet!
Good job! Subbed
Awesome!! Get you a coal press when you do. Thanks for subscribing!
That's a badass axe.
I really want to stitch up a collar, and sheath for that. Wow. Just amazing work.
Really cool!
Thanks Dylan!
Awesome build! Great video!
Thanks man!!
Gorgeous!
This is really helpful to the sub humans that are currently buying up all the zombie knives!!!!!
Nice work
Very nice build.
This exactly what I want
very nice job.looks great
Nice job.
Very cool.
Awesome ❤
Beautiful 👍
Perfect for the zombie apocalypse.
I would love to have one like it it's absolutely bad ass.
Muy lindo trabajo!!
Very nice
could you have used the vinegar & steel wool wood stain trick to get all of the handle blackened?

I personally would have drifted the eye a bit bigger.
This is really awesome. I'm gona try to forge one. What do you use for blackening the steel???
Thanks! Do it! I use birchwood Casey super blue
Did this in high school for a project w Fisk Knives, by hand.
Beautiful work, love the repurposing of old steel. I'd like to do this but dread the idea trying to forge it out by hand with the little skill I have. Out of curiosity what ended up going wrong with the first handle?
Thank you! Ya I love those old USA made hammers. The hang was loose and the top of the handle was broken.
Man i with i had a power hammer. Though as a hobbyist, i couldn't justify that kind of a purchase.
How does one purchase said perfection?
Great video! Love watching all your stuff man! Hope to buy a knife one day (If I can find one in stock). Thanks!
Thanks Willard! I appreciate that. I really enjoy making these videos.
Curtis, what size and brand of power hammer are you using in this video?
It’s an old Kinyon style power hammer I got from Burt Foster.
Looks like a cross between a small woodchopping hatchet and a naval boarding ax
Hello, very nice re purpose. But what did that poor pumpkin do to you?🤣🤣👍👍
Great 👏👏
Thanks!

Have you had any problems with that (I've never made an axe that didn't end up getting thrown) - ?
Nice. How much you charge to make one?
Oooh brother wondering if ya could do a Dwarven axe or viking and wondering how much would ya sell it for me bubba that is awesome awesome work
Beautiful axe, just feel you should have opened up the eye for a sturdier handle.

Could be a good production line item
I need one of these for the zombie apocalypse
Maybe two!
Not ideal for that
man... I REALLY want to forge this, but I don't have a press or a pneumatic hammer... is it possible to do by hand? Beautiful work too, by the way.
@@KOTEC525 ABSOLUTELY. Might be good to get a friend to help with a sledgehammer doing the heavy lifting at the beginning
@@CurtisHaaland good point... holding it while hitting it with a short handled sledge would be a bear.
Can I ask, why did you harden the entire axe? Didnt you want some flex if you are throwing that beast?
"What did you do this weekend?"
"Turned a $15 ball peen hammer into a $400 battle axe."
Good times
What weight?
I cant quite remember now
@@CurtisHaaland th-cam.com/users/shortsp5FseD9AJIg?si=U22yrCURQeXQHEfM
Bitchin Rad. Had to add beautiful work my man.
Thanks so much!
I always thought it was called a ball ping hammer 🤔
How can order an axe
Que medida tiene el martillo
I can’t quite remember!
Shame that the handle is about 5 feet shorter than what is optimal
Appropriately it's already drawn blood.
If you were really my friend you would make me one.
I tried to do this once with an old ball peen head from my grandfather's tool box, and it just crumbled.
This Is the lazy man's way to craft.🎉
Says the person with video game clips & ZERO craft on their channel
Should have left the charcoal in it😂
wow amring
Thanks man!
@@CurtisHaaland ok you
Didn't realise that ball pein and ball peen are the same thing.
Axe ist Not for Battle
Peen 🤣
What steel do you think this is ?
@@michaeldbhawker3556 not sure exactly but probably something like 1045
Battle axe!
Küçük bir çekiçten böle bir baltanın çıktığına pek inanamıyorum doğrusu...
