    This will also be awesome for cutting dead and dry hardwood

      @savage: what do you mean by cutting? Chopping? This is not a chopping axe as its blade it thin. Most probably the thin edge and high hardness make it probe to chipping. It especially applies to dry and hard wood as it is unforgiving to the edge.

    Nice work, nice working place and a beautiful axe but is it possible in one of your next video's to show us how you use the things that you make....your video's will be a bit longer and then you show us how that you work with your own materials.
    My respect and greetings from Belgium, Oli

    @Nils, I enjoy your builds more than any other smith currently producing content on UA-cam! Your mastery of forging so many differing varieties of one of man's oldest tools is impressive! I was rather disappointed though, I'd hoped you'd take this new one and make some test cuts, having never seen a "mortise axe." Anyhow, thanks for the build & I'll look forward to what's next!

      I feel ya! It would have been a really good vomplimemt to this video to have an actual timberman use it. Thanks for your feedback! I really apriciate it/Nils

    Your volume of shop noise, Well I have my own noise in my shop and garden.
    I'm afraid to turn down volume for fear of you saying instructions.
    But understand I'm going to watch your teaching anyway Sir Thanks

    Very interesting design, hasn't seen one of these yet. Thank you for sharing. I haven't seen dark linseed oil before, so you buy it that way or is there something you do to it to make it dark?

    •  2 роки тому +3

      I mix regular linseed oil with a pigment, ask a color stor to help you if you are interested

    I'm surprised that in your neck of the woods you don't use pine tar for wood and iron. As much as everyone talks about linseed oil for wood, I've never much cared for it. Pine Tar has a better look and feel, imo, and is a tradition going back eons. More importantly, it has natural anti-microbial jive going on in it and does great at preserving the wood from boring bugs.
