Making The Most Exclusive Hatchets From Blanks My Sister Forged | FAMILY BUSINESS
#hatchet #axemaking #family
Hey everyone,
no rust this time. This video is all about family business, after my father passed away unexpected for all of us in January, I'm finally finishing two hatchets that I want to give to my two sisters as a remembrance of our father. My younger sister forged the hatchet heads herself in a blacksmithing class and gave me the forged blanks so that I can finish them on my channel one day. A year later, it's the right time to tackle this honorable task.
My father was an enthusiastic woodsman in his hobby, which is why the axes have a special meaning for me. They should remind my sisters of our father and also remind them that he gave them all the tools they needed to master all the challenges in life.
The fact that I am giving the hatchets shows that I also received all my manual skills from my father.
After first preparing the eyes of the axe heads for the handles (I had to enlarge them slightly and weld two cracks shut), I give the heads their final axe shape and then polish them up.
I make the axe handles from pear wood with individual laminations of cherry and multilaminate or purple heart. In addition, both axe handles get palm rests in the handles for a better grip. I make these from bloodwood and also purple heart to make the most beautiful axe handle for each hatchet.
Last but not least, I make leather sheaths to protect the blade and the carrier when carrying and leather protectors for the wooden handle in case a hit is missed.
The results are really something special and my sisters were delighted.
Finally, of course, there was a beer. This time I'm testing a "Giesinger" from munich and this beer is also something very special.

Stay healthy.

I'm very sad for the loss of your dad. He is surely very proud of who you are, and of the beautiful work that you do. ❤
6:35 Pro Tip. Take a plastic bag(s) and turn it inside out. Place the bag(s) over each magnet, then do a sweep over the metal particles. When finished, simply turn the bag inside out again, trapping the metal particles into the bag. Discard the bag of particles. The magnets remain free of metal particles, and you drink a beer like a genius!
I second the bag trick. If for some reason the bag is in the way, you can also use blue painter's tape, but the cleanup is slightly slower.
Please accept my sincere condolences on the passing of your father. Your sisters are fortunate to have you for a brother.
My condolences on your father. If you are any reflection of the man he was, then the world has truly lost some one wonderful. What wonderful finished products that you have given your sisters. You and they have forged, fitted, and finished family heirlooms. Cheers.
So sorry for your loss, what an outstanding tribute to your father. I'm sure he'd be so proud of the work you and your sister put in.
I'm very sorry for your loss, and great work on these hatchets! A wonderful way to remember him
You're an IMPRESSIVE Craftsman.
Dr. Beer, was für eine schöne Hommage an Ihren Vater und Ihre Familie. Deine Zusammenarbeit mit deiner Schwester ist wunderschön, du machst deinen Vater stolz. Dein Verlust tut mir leid. Ihre Videos würdigen ihn und das Erbe, das er Ihnen hinterlassen hat. Vielen Dank, dass Sie den Schmerz und die Freude Ihrer Familie teilen. Umarmungen an dich, deine ❤
I could not say it better. This was a classy tribute to an obviously loved father. I wish you, your sisters and family much comfort at this time. Also you even managed to find the best kind of beer to review on this episode. I wish I had access to all your beers. Some of them have looked amazing, and this is one of them!
Thank you so so much Vickie
Sorry for your loss. My father died in November 2022. We must show ourselves worthy of our fathers and watch over ours as they did. Bravo for this very special work. These axes are much more than simple objects due to their beauty, your superb work and what it will represent for your sisters. Stay strong.
Thanks again for giving my 3 y/o son and I something wholesome to watch together. He loves the polishing wheel.
How it is possible that one person has so many skills 😮😮
These creations are so heartfelt and just as beautiful as the family that worked together to create them. And what a wonderful choice using blood wood, your bloodline is represented in them. You've all done each other proud! My sympathy for your loss of a great father.
Some of your most amazing work. And I'm so glad to see that the beer was good! It feels very appropriate, in memory of your father. ❤
Sorry to hear about the passing of your dad. This video is very well done and what and amazing restoration the finish product looked amazing. Shows what time and hard work can create.
Beautiful projects and again I enjoy watching your videos. „Immer an deiner Seite“ is wonderful. ❤
Sorry for your loss. The axes turned out beautiful and hope your sisters will cherish them forever.
You are absolutely something else. Very well done!
My sincere condolences on the loss of your father. I am sure he is proud of you and your siblings! Artistry must be in your genes! The work you have done, and continue to do, is amazing! What a beautiful tribute to your father, and lovely (and useful!) remembrances for your sisters!
I'm so sorry for you losing your dad ❤ I'm certain your sisters loved those, they came out absolutely beautiful ❤️
You and your sister did great work on these axes. It's clear that this was an important project for your family, so thank you for sharing it with us. I'm sorry to hear of the loss of your father.
What a lovely tribute to your father! Your sisters are lucky to have you create such exquisite objects.
The quality of your videos is never less than exceptional!
Condolences from my house to yours. You are truly a renaissance man. Your family must be proud.
Damn masterpiece. Your dad I'm sure would be proud. Incredible.
This is so very moving. I'm an only child so I have to miss my wonderful parents by myself. Thank you for the lovely video and the beautiful work!
Sorry to hear of the loss of your father, he seems to have been one of those souls whose loss diminishes us all. Carry his light forward, and spread it as far as you can, so that his memory lives on through your work. I hope the memories of the joy you had with him will, in time, outweigh the pain of his loss.
I'm sorry your family has suffered this irreparable loss. What a stunning tribute to his memory.
Wow unglaublich schön, ich bin gerührt und inspiriert, Danke und mein herzliches Beileid.
Good stuff. Condolences for the loss your dad. Thank you for still making content.
I've watched your channel since the beginning and I remember specifically that your first projects were completed in your father's workshop as you did not have a space of your own at the time. It was clear then and now that he was an enormous influence on you and your craft. My condolences on his all too soon passing. My mother passed a few years ago and was the greatest cook I've ever known so I try to honor her when I make my (rather sad) attempts at replicating her recipes. Hopefully your dad is up there with my mom now and sharing a few new recipes with her now that one day we'll both be able to try out! (My mom loved German food and could make killer sauerbraten and potato balls and pickled red cabbage!) Fantastic work, my friend.
My deepest sympathies on your loss! Your love and pride for your sisters and their abilities made me cry. Those are gorgeous hatchets.
Two pieces of art and memory you have crafted there... Awesome stuff!
Sorry to hear about your dad. Your sisters are extremely fortunate to have you as a brother! Hugs❤
Condolences to you and your family during this time. I'm sure he was a great father. Those axes turned out great! Lovely job.
What a beautiful, thoughtful and lasting reminder of your dad. simply emotionally beautiful. No more words needed.
You truly have gifted hands not only to create beautiful objects but to film and edit to showcase such skill is a rare talent.
I'm sorry you lost your father. Thank you for sharing about him to us. It is really great you can commemorate him with these hatchets. ❤
I'm so very sorry for your family's loss. What you've created in your father's honor is priceless. It's so hard watching that generation of men and women leave us. We are much poorer without them.
Utterly amazing job! I normally love your videos, but this one was art pure and simple! I too know the pain of losing a parent. It gets easier, but will always be there. A loss like that becomes part of who you are. And after a time you'll be grateful for the pain, and remembering how much they are missed.
My condolences on the passing of your father. A hug from Spain.
Fantastic and very emotional work. As always.
Beautiful work by you both. My warmest condolences to you, and your family for your great loss.
I'm sorry for your loss. Your father must have been very proud of you. He did a great job raising a talented man.
Please accept my condolences for your loss, you do such an amazing job, not only with your tolls but the videography as well, each one of your videos is a joy for me to watch, I think your dad would've definetly been proud af of you
amazing my brother, as long as you remember your father he will never be far, congrads on 100k followers well desivered
Have no doubt: He's watching. And he's proud of you.
i'm sorry you lost your dad so unexpectedly, but this is a wonderfully sentimental gift to give your siblings.
My condolences 💐
Beautiful work and a wonderful tribute to your dad!
Great job man. Sorry to hear about your pops. It’s nice to see you make such a beautiful piece with help from your sister. Happy you guys can come together. Also thank you for putting that filter over the welding portion around the 4 minute mark. Very helpful on the eyes
This is the best way to remember one we loved. Your craftsmanship is a testament to your father. Prost!
Beautiful finishing of the Hatchetts and the beer looked great also.
My sincere condolences for your oss.
So sorry for your loss. A beautiful job. I'm certain he would be proud

My deepest condolences for the loss of your dad. I sadly know what it means, I'm sure he's proud of you and your sisters, they are lucky to have you as a loving and caring brother keep it up your wonderful work! ❤
Some very skilled woodworking on those handles.
Wow, was für ein absolut wunderschönes Äxtpaar!! Ihr Können und Ihr handwerkliches Können kamen bei diesem Projekt wirklich zur Geltung. Ich glaube nicht, dass Sie angesichts des von Ihnen bereitgestellten Hintergrunds ein besseres Geschenk für Ihre beiden Schwestern hätten auswählen können. Ich spreche Ihnen und Ihren Angehörigen mein Beileid zu Ihrem Verlust aus, aber ich bin mir sicher, dass Sie Ihren Vater stolz gemacht haben!! Bravo und gut gemacht
Un magnifique travail du métal, du bois et du cuir et un très bel hommage touchant à votre Père. Bravo et respect. Patrick
Sending Heartfelt Prayers, Hugs and my Sincerest Condolences for the passing of your dad. Mine passed unexpectedly September 2022. I'm always impressed with your projects but you (and your sister) knocked it out of the park this time. Your Dad and Grandma are both smiling down at you.
I thought I'd leave a comment as a like didn't seem enough. Firstly, I'm sorry for you and your families loss. Your Dad must have been a great man. He certainly has reared a very talented and close family. Secondly, I watch a few restoration channels on KZhead and have seen many axe restorations. These two axes / hatchets are without any doubt the best. The handles are objects of beauty. I'm sure your sisters will treasure them and they will become family heirlooms. All the very best.
Whay a great tribute to your dad and a great reminder for your sister's.
Hi. Absolutely great job ! The handles are fascinating. Your Dad could be proud of you. (I surely think he is from above). PS: ein gerade so passender Klarsichtbeutel um die Magnete und aufgesammelte Eisenspäne sind in einem "Zug" im Müll.
Made out of love and respect. Beautiful!
Once again: my condolences to you and your family. Great editing on the video, really enjoyed watching it. The outcome looks great, the handles are next level! If I may say so: I am sure your dad would be proud. Stay safe Doc
Amazing job my friend congratulations 👏👏 Im sorry for your dad loss
You were so focused on this project you didn't have a beer till the very end! And it turned out wonderful.
Good job mister beautifully done
Great Family work and perfect result. A nice reminder to your dad.
Bravo, super, amazing work👍👍👍👍👏👏👏
Beautiful tribute. Incredible result. "Always by your side." 😿 *hug*
So sorry to learn of your father passing.. Awesome work!!! Both pieces are beautiful !
Beautiful work and an excellent memorial.
I'm sorry to hear of the passing of your dad. May he rest in peace.
A fitting memorial to your dad from some of his best works. Just beautiful.
You are a decent and empathetic human being. I'm sure that your father was as proud of you for that as for your prodigious talent. You'd better measure your sisters to make sure each gets the correct size hatchet 😁😉 Superb work!
I'm very sorry about the passing of your father. I hope you have the support you need.
Mis mas sentido pesame por lo de tu padre .eres un maestro excelente trabajo felicitaciones 💯👍👏👏👏🇦🇷
This is my favorite video you’ve posted so far. Absolutely beautiful work and a loving tribute to your family
Thanks a lot for watching and commenting @Jrams666
Welcome back, a classy effort all round, from the quality of your materials and the family aspect using your sister's forgings through the video production and the reminder that dad is always with you, to the end tribute. I wonder whether dad influenced your choice of beer, that it was almost perfect, and that it seems a gift from him to you, a son he's very proud of. 10/10.
Well done with the Welding fader.... never seen that, Nice work
I am so sorry for your loss, hope you are as well as can be expected - my thoughts are with you and your family. Those handles are beautiful,also love metal work. Thank you and all the best wishes, Jako 🙏🙏
I'm really really sorry for your loss, mate. All my love for you and your family from Spain. I was tempted to say your video was not that important this time but I realised it's quite the opposite. You are truly talented and your amazing work is the best way to honour your dad's memory. He's so proud of you up there ❤. Thanks for navigate through your sorrows and share this with us. Really moved.
Beautiful work DR.
I sent up a little prayer for your father. I'm sure he's watching over you and your sister.
What beautiful pieces. That purple heartwood is breathtaking. I'm so sorry about your dad.
Handwerklich wieder einmal eine tolle Arbeit - wie auch in Deinen anderen Videos. 👍 Aber diesmal spürt man, dass hier weit mehr dahintersteckt. Aus dem reinen Handwerk wurde eine wahrhaftige Hommage an Deinen Vater und ein wunderbares Geschenk für Deine Schwestern. Als jemand, der beide Elternteile verloren hat, fühle ich mit was Dich bewegt und ziehe meinen Hut vor dieser handwerklichen Meisterleistung.
Absolut klasse Arbeit. Da hast du dich richtig reingehängt und ein top-Ergebnis erzielt. Hut ab, 1A.
That purple heart wood is the most beautiful wood I've ever seen. The grain is amazing.
My condolences for the loss of your father. May you and your sisters find joy in the good memories together. Your fine work will sure be a source of those memories.
Very happy you are back. Very sorry for the loss of your father. He sounds like he was a good dad. Take comfort in knowing that you honor his legacy and memory each time you share a restoration with us. Thank you.
Absolutely beautiful work!
My deepest condolences for you and yours. I lost my dad 7 years ago and my grandfather last month. Remember him every day and lean on those you love. ❤
Fantastic job and a very worthy tribute to your Dad. He's up there smiling down on you and your sisters.
Beautiful keepsakes. You did a wonderful job. My condolences to you and your family.
I'm having a hard time finding the words... This work is simply amazing. You and your sister carry everything your father taught you and could pass on to you. He would surely be proud of you.
Truly amazing and mesmerizing to watch. I am very sorry about your father. Hugs.
Brother, sorry to hear about the sudden passing of your dad. That has to be very hard on you. I’m sorry. I remember watching the video with your awesome screwdriver where you had to run to your Pop’s place for assistance. I’m partial to that video because I restored an old screwdriver as a gift to my father, so a little bit of a connection. I’m sure he was very proud of your work.
My condolences on the loss of your father. ❤
