Blacksmithing: Forging a Bearded Belt Axe

- Build this Axe with The Makers Mob: go.themakersmo...
Watch as I build a hand forged bearded belt axe using only hand tools. This Bearded Axe is a functional tool that will last for generations.
From hand forging, heat treating and sharpening the axe head to shaping and fitting the wooden handle, turning a piece of steel and single piece of wood into a razor sharp axe perfect for camping is such a satisfying accomplishment - Enjoy!
The Essential Craftsman lead me here.
This is one of the few production blacksmithing channels I am subbed to that is more blacksmithing than machine shop. I wish you guys would post more. Your videos and personalities are fantastic. Edit: I am excited to see you joining the Makers Mob, but so many of the channels I really loved to follow also joined, and stopped producing videos.
I love it when you work the shaft.

Love the synchronicity between you and your co worker, guess no words are needed, when I nod my head you hit it....
Always an honor watching a true craftsman. Beautiful work.
Absolutely beautiful axes! Thanks for sharing even these shots from your class.
Wow. The craftsmanship is impressive.
Buckin' Billy Ray sent me here. Beautiful work and beautiful farm axe!
Incredible job!!!
Just bought one of your 32 inch handles!
You are truly an inspiration, U live your work and when I saw a video of you I was really impressed but now with that cross axe I’m truly shocked, nice job
Nice control with the drawknife, you didn’t keep going, knowing that the cut would follow deep into the grain
I love the bearded axe look it's on the to get list for axe/tool/functional art
History at work, wonderful to see how it was done long ago and how the tradition continues. Well done Young Master!
Amazing craftmanship,for as long as man can live on this earth no machine or robot will ever be able to produce such a masterpiece.
I love watching Liam! But a part of me dies, knowing i will never be able to afford a Hoffman axe.. one of his camp axes was on ebay and it's already over $600 and the bid doesn't end for another day or so. It would be a dream come true to swing and work with a Hoffman axe. They are works of art. Every one of them.
This video reminded me of when liam and Chad were in the shack with the press
that was the scariest flatter i have ever seen!!
Love Your videos wish you still made them
Fair to say your video production game took a step up... dang!
I subscribed to makers mob and really like it. It’s more than a bargain. Thank you for putting this together.
To be this young and talented and so committed to a craft and not afraid of hard work is very inspiring, great job...
Simply divine, you're a true craftsman Liam.
Beautifully crafted axe, sir.
Simply amazing work. Hoping to own one someday. Truly no steps skipped, even soaking the heads. Some people say it’s unnecessary, but if it’s not done then the most important wood to be stabilized (in the eye) is left untreated! So impressive to see the attention to detail here
Those are gorgeous thin blades.
Finally a new video. I've been waiting. Either way I'm glad to see an upload.
Good to see you back.
Its kind of hard to tell exactly what shape your center punch is but you should try grinding the point of your center punch to a square or triangle. The advantage is that when you're metal is hot you can see your punch mark better! Pro tip
Wow, that is a beautiful axe. Thanks for sharing.
Love the new format of your videos. I'm amazed with the ease at which you make the handles. Beautiful pairr of axes.
A beautiful creation
I would be proud to have forearms like that
Your axes are beautiful and evil at the same time I have always enjoyed your style keep going bud they are second to none.
That’s fantastic looking axe that’s a real axe.
👌 Great filming and perfect audio - oh, and stunning craftsmanship as always....
Good looking axes. Hopping to be able to buy one soon.
I need an axe like this in my life
Nice to see it hand struck nice job thanks
I’ll take one of those beauties! Happy to see Chad. Don’t know how old video is though
Handle part seems to be in the new shop at least
An intresting model my father was made this a long time ago,nice work!!!
Welcome back . hope you will continue
Lovely, like to see it being used.
your back we can see a blacksmith get busy
Wish you had more videos coming, but I get it you have a company to run. It’s cool how many of the tools from the old shop are still there! Nice watching you and Chad using hammers only! Respect you two! Such a fine product. Hope to own one of your axes someday. Cheers!
Beautiful axe! Looks like a great little carpentry / camp / everyday carry axe... good work brother, keep it up!
Nice video wonderful work
Very nice Job!👍🏻
Very nice, If I had a chance I want to buy it
Therapist: Buff nerd doesnt exist, he can't hurt you.
Buff nerd:
(That was just a meme, theres nothing wrong with being a nerd, and, this is some great craftsmanship, so, keep up the good work!)
Nice axe/hatchet. To bad the grain of the wood is not as good. It will work but it’s not at the peak. It is nice to see NC back in the saddle again
Welcom back pro... Amazing axe
Very nice sir i hope to eventually make my way into forging axes
Sehr gute Arbeit. Frage zu 12:30 feilen nach dem Härten...
Very nice work.
DAMN THAT IS THE BIGGIST BELT SANDER IVE EVER SEEN HOLY HELL
Look up Fireball Tools GoKart Sander.
It's no 2x72
great to see Chad again
Hi Liam ,What steel are you using for the axes ? Thanks awesome work
hey Liam
you should start producing Draw knifes aswell
I bet you could make some awesomenessss ones!! all the best
Yes indeed! Draw knives, plane irons and maybe even chisels! You've got the equipment now!
One of these days I will have the money for one of these works of ART!
Dear Liam, thanks for presenting your method of axe making. It looks controlled and precise, something that I am yet to learn. The end result looks superb. The chunks of steel you started with look like my source of toughened steel - fork lift tines which is 4140. Is that what yours are? Cheers.
Awesome Axe !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey man. Thanks for the video. I will own one of your axes one day.
Marvelous! Both the process and the product
long time no see, welcome back!!
Not a smith or anything, so sorry if this is a dumb question...
But when you put the sacrificial plate over your anvil to protect it, you have to keep adjusting it. Why not make a piece with the edges bent around the side of the anvil so it doesn’t move around, but is easily removed/placed?
Incredible man
beautiful
This is art
Can you do a 2 bladed sward
Looks exactly like the council tool craft carver.
Welcome back to YT Liam. It's been awhile. Cheers mate!
Wait wait wait, you have a youtube too? I thought it only was insta
Works of art!
Amazing!
The axes themselves remind me of my father's "hacho" (oversize ax w/a short handle used by miners inside the mines to cut the woods w/which the lay the tunnels (passages inside the mine) a heavy oversized ax...has to be heavy for inside the mine they lack the space to swing it so it has to weight more than a normal ax....my father was a coal/iron miner in NW 'ern Spain many moons ago ....dead.
Forging newbie!
Can someone explain to me what he did at 13:00 where he rubs the blade with some... Sponge?
I really enjoy seeing the blacksmithing craftsmanship brought to these axes.
Any chance you might produce some tomahawks in the future? If so, I have no doubt that they would move fast, given your axe design. Put me on that waiting list if you ever decide to go there.
Quick question, why don't you use a Power hammer? instead of a second person. You could hook up a short activation cycle with a raspberry pie computer connected to a mic and make it voice activate to hammer at an indicated sound (s).
Popeye forearms!!! True craftsmanship my friend
Awesome axes and so nice to see how axes would have been made with a Blacksmith and apprentice. Have either of you thought about entering a local strong man competition? Your arms are like tree trunks!!!!! LOL
Where you been man? Too busy to make videos I bet huh? Hope to see more soon! Thanks!
The axes are great. Definitely show a lot of detail in your work. And feel free to send me that anvil anytime. Be happy to take it off your hands for you. Lol
Outstanding
Where did you get the steel billet
Was that a water quench? Was it tempered? How do you heat treat 4140?
Really nice keep it
Dude has massive forearms
dam would love one
what kind of steel you are using for this
What steel do you use? Where do you buy it?
What steel does he use to make the axes?
Have you considered offering your own draw knives??
Liam how does one buy one of your axes?
Liam, take my deposit and put me on waiting list, no longer than 4 years, I am 72 and Wikipedia indicates average life span of a male in USA is 76. I just want it as an heirloom, I believe your axes will be the holy grail of the future, “Hey, I just got a Black Raven”. So, check out this Hoffman Farm Axe!!
"Oh lay ye hammer down".
Hi friend how much cost this axe??
Is it nessecary to be as ripped as you are to do this?
Sorry, but what in god's name was that goop that you dunked them in, in the end? Btw, nice axe.
Boiled linseed oil
How much for one of these?
How much is one of this!?
