  • That axe turned out quite nice. If you make another you should give the buyer the option to have a curved or straight handle. Most firefighters I know that carry an axe opt for a straight handle since they tend to use the spike more often than the axe face.

  • Wow! As a firefighter both blue and red card certified, that's a really nice looking axe! Thank you for taking time to forge, film, edit and post this video.

  • That axe looks amazing and the handle is perfect! 👌 I love the way you've made the box, so you could use the box to display the axe when you aren't using it. Absolutely fantastic work and I hope she goes for a great price 😊👍👍👍👍👍

  • I worked in my dad's metal plating shop and we had an axe come in from the local fire department for a nickel coating as a retirement gift. Being a Maine I asked to do the plating. The axe looked just like that one, and now I wonder if it was. Nice work!

  • I like it better with the rough and raw forge texture.. with only the blade ground.. It just looks great.. When you grind everything, it just makes it look manufactured and kinda takes away that "Forged" look that I love so much.

  • Wonderful video!! I wish you(or any hammer man) would do a video/ series of power hammer tooling(how to make and use). I’ve been at the anvil for 40 years now doing door hardware. Joints are starting to show that and have started doing way more of the work using the power hammer and tooling. New way of thinking for me and would greatly appreciate help.

  • It seems a good 1912 one off axe to make is a Pulaski. The US forest service started using them in 1913. So a 1912 stamp on one would fit the timeline...

  • 1921 Carpenter's Hammer? Or hatchet? I've long been fascinated by the hatchet featured in Happy People: A Year in the Taiga. Here's a link to a scene of it in a lot of use: kzhead.info/sun/mcahgK2DZKF4qXk/bejne.htmlsi=-v5YSwhjqGjMvfcD&t=420 The flare, the hammer end, the flat blade. Thing I've never seen all brought together. But the things this man can do with the tool!

  • Very interesting and also relaxing video, thanks! 😄 One question though: Why are there no windows in your shop? Wouldn't a bit of natural light be nice while you work all day?

    @katarn999@katarn99916 күн бұрын
    • absolutely not. forging is done in dark shops so you can see if the metal is hot by the glow and can judge the temperature of the metal by the color and intensity. adding light to that would skew everything. it's an issue that comes up a lot when metal gets worked around windows of it being overheated because the metal must get much hotter to see the glow. so, the darkness is necessary for consistent metal working.
