Tim & Martin, I just wanted you two to know that I notice all of your hard work. I recognize how hard it must be to film, work, and edit everyday when you put out daily uploads. I appreciate you both!
Would be nice if you seared your logo on those beautiful handles. How about a T&M mark
3:04 easy, they simply coated them in paint, Mr. Dyck Why bother? Greetings from the sunny climes of Basle, Switzerland P.S. if you need some more W.German + E.German (GDR) , French and Swiss axe heads let me know. Have yourself a very merry Christmas
Timothy glad to see other video in this series. Really nice job. Can't wait to see more videos soon. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Forge on. Keep repairing. Keep restoratioing. Keep making. God bless.
A lot of the West German stuff I've seen has a really rough finish on really good steel. I have a Wiebelhaus where you wouldn't believe the quality of the edge if you looked at the huge dents, dings and machine marks left by the factory. Lovely axe though, full of character.
@Jordon Stevens paint holds better on rough surfaces. In the day Weibelhaus, Ochsenkopf, Adler 🦅 you name ist all threw on a coating of paint. Be it Wörder & Pandel / Widderkopf, Grünspecht Series that was held in green. C-60 steel e.g. tend to rust, what better way to keep them looking pristine till their sold. Same goes to say with the lacquer on the wooden handles, intent for the salesman, not the blisters that they induce.
@Jordan Stevens to this day the companies still go with their color schemes. Take Ochsenkopf / Ox head axes their held in yellow.
Martin looks like he stepped straight outta fallout
Have a merry Christmas tim. Keep the family safe❤️🌲🌲🌲❤️
King of the Convex. Great stills for the website at the end. Merry Christmas guys.
I'm buying axes for the last 5 years. All came with bent hadles and/or the edge bevels are so thick, that I literally have gone through 4 Nicholson Bastard files, however I still don't have an axe that works. My next try will probably be, any of the: Muller Biber-Canada or Hultafors Forest Axe( 1kg head 70cm handle , or Bison Universal Axe, I search for a bit versatile axe, for hard wood, that can cut as deep as possible. Olive trees is our main firewood here, and they are hard as a rock and curly...vry difficult, need a good axe to both bring down medium size hard wood trees. Those axes you made, look great!! Good job sir!!
Beautiful axes. Nice job!
Loving these videos. Maybe you should do a live stream for day 10! I'd love to be able to afford one, but I can admire them in the videos all the same!
Do something with the 2 bad axes 🪓. Like make 1 double axe🪓.
that rhineland pattern made is W. germany axe.. i have an almost IDENTICAL axe.
I’ve REALLY got to pick one of these up soon, Tim… been itching to make a sheath and I think one of these would live just beautifully inside of it… 🤔
Do you have an instagram or other site you'd post it on if you did make a sheath? I'd definitely love to see more of your great work in other ventures beyond what your website sells!
Tim one day "I'm starting to love these axes and want to keep them for myself, please buy them!" Tim another day "oh weird guys, suddenly the axes have issues that make them impossible to send out!" hahahaha I'm only kidding, Love you and your work!! My Keep the Forge Lit hoodie came in and it's fucking fantastic. So comfy and warm without being restrictive or heavy!!
tim buddy I would classifie that big hudson bay style axe mor of a Montreal pattern personally but I could be rong loving the restoration of axes cause I do so myself 👍😁
That W.German Hudson bay style looks so cool!
Hello Tim, have you had any old gränsfors axes on your hands over the years? You can see that it is an old (ish) gränsfors if it has a stamp with (modelnumber) / (weight in lbs) on the opposite side of the side with the gränsfors mark.
I just asked a German. He said Ja.
Day 7. Holds up 3 fingers. Are you burning the midnight oil getting these edits out Tim?
Yeah those look like vampire hunters
Хотелось бы узнать ваше мнение о малом саперном топоре вермахта.
Hey Tim can I send you a couple of my axe heads for restoration and rehandling ?
The handles Martin makes are so nice, it would totally be worth it.
Nice Video Greetings from West Germany..Peter
Yo yo yo
German exes? Or axes? lol Great vid. Du Hast.
Let's see how it goes after all there all gone hopefully not a nother restoration of axes. I love the original content forge on as someone once said
5:20 that can be thickened with welding machine
I also, call myself by my first name when I screw up.
martin @7:44 Damm I moved out of my parents house because "this"
I have absolutely no use for a axe , But I do have a few axe heads in my junk pile so I mite give it a go and clean them up , may be the neighbours mite appreciate them . :)
@Douglas Fathers refurbishing axes is 'empfehlendswert' Greetings from the wintry climes of Basle, Switzerland
Axes are for chopping wood. Mauls are for splitting wood. Change my mind.
I disagree, I can easily out split with an axe, a maul only beats an axe when splitting spongy softer woods like gnarly cedar etc
@@felixchetlanddevries2998 the secret is to wait till it is -40 then split wood then it will not be spongy. It really depends on the size of the wood you are splitting. No way your splitting half metre rounds with an axe. Well not in one swing like I would be with a maul. I mean if I was splitting toothpicks under 30cm across I might consider an axe. The tree I cut down yesterday is a white pine that was over 80 cm across and very pitchy , axe would be stuck after first swing and handle broken as you try to pry it loose.
@@scotttod6954 I mainly split macrocarpa rounds, they are mostly 1m plus in diameter, I just flake bits of the outside with my Axe. There is no reason to split it in half, it just makes things more complicated. I run a Canadian Kelly true temper Dandenong on a 1150mm handle, that thing is a laser beam.
Hey! Big Brother! You changed the title! Or was it the German assistant? Hmmm lol
You really ought to reply to some of the best comments, like mine, it makes you seem personable and will help you sell old axes for outrageous prices. Peace!
Natürlich sind die Deutschen am besten ;-)
Grüße aus Deutschland
⭐🙂👍
I am biased, as I like Aussie axes.
You wood be better off splitting wood with a dull almost blunt axe cause axes are for chopping and mauls are for splitting
You should take all the bad axe heads cut them up and forge them into 2 or 3 new axes.
Or a smaller version of the Witch's flail?
Great video melt that bad axe head down and redo it bro and make a video out of it
West German plus weight in imperial????
Your not sad about that axe being bad. We know your giggling like a child cause you get to keep one.
Better safe than sorry. Maybe it can be turned into something else.
Melt it and reshape it! Yes!!
German all the way!
Not very impressed with the German axes, very crude looking forging and that one with the bunged up eye convinced me. I’ll take a Swedish stump buster any day 🤙
@Minnesota Tomcat as I stated before, 'The crude looking forging' , was intentional. In the day they slapped on a coat of paint, as companies lacquer their axe handles, to keep them nice & crispy looking, for sales purposes.
@@AndreRMeyer I could live with the crude look and huge pits and whatnot, but that one with the misaligned eye is unacceptable and shouldn’t have made it out of the factory, and that’s why I’m not impressed with them.
Yoooooo first like and comment 😂
I got third! Whee!
No Swedish axes are best😬
No! Vintage Made in U.S.A. axes and knives are superior.
Jauregi are the best in the world. German axes lose theyr head the handle is bullsht
