- Welcome to our channel, where today Skill Spotter taking you on an exciting journey into the world of axe manufacturing in the 21st century. If you've ever wondered how those trusty tools that have been used for centuries are produced on a large scale in the modern age, you're in for a treat!
We start by seeing how the steel for the axe heads is melted and forged into shape. Then, we follow the heads as they are heat treated and tempered to give them the perfect balance of hardness and toughness. Next, we see how the handles are fitted to the heads. Finally, we see how the axes are assembled.
This video is a must-watch for anyone interested in manufacturing, craftsmanship, or simply how things are made. It is also a great resource for axe enthusiasts who want to learn more about the process that goes into making their favorite tools.

He works so fast and efficiently! Amazing skill.
the way they cut the bar Is AMAZING
If by amazing you mean come up with third world means that involves enlarging the grain oxidizing the steel.
Amazing how men can work in the squat position for hours on end. Not here in USA; I worked stell mills as a welder for a few years when I was young. Hard hats, saftey shoes, quotas, unions, lunchrooms; nothing like this. These workers are true artisans. 5 Stars++
Doing your health in doesn’t make you an artisan or remotely Alpha, bet these lads would gladly take a union, steel-toed boots and some eye protection. Bet you’ll live longer too.
I think you are mistaken about that. Who said anything about Alpha? Why throw that in the mix when it has nothing to do with the issue.? Beats me.I worked in a steel mill in the union; they would not allow you to do more than 11.2 hours on piecework. "Are you trying to ruin the rates?" union boss asked me. "Get lost for two hours a night I don't care where" he said. Is that Alpha? I don't knkow what you mean. These guys are doing that kind of work with almost nothing, It's not about what you live but how you live that matters in the end, no matter if you live to be sixty or ninety.@@HydroSnips
Having to wear safety gear doesn't make you a better craftsman. Why would you think that? What about wearing steel toe shoes and safety glasses makes you inferior to them?
I’m a 22 year old blacksmith the amount of time I spend squatted down hammering on my anvil in a day would cripple a middle aged man least I never need to hit leg day tho
@@caleblandry1780 if you are spending that much time bent over at an anvil, then your anvil is not set at the proper height. Set it up properly and you will still be able to do it in 20 years
Wish I could buy such axe head in my country.
मेहनत कश लोग , अच्छे लोग 🎉🎉
interesting forge/furnace. It looks like it's made from clay.
Nice work too
You are right!
Thank you very much for your valuable comment.
my god the workman ship is great with what little they have top marks
Jewelry work Masters. Great artisans!😮
Thank you very much.
So nicely they are using advanced technology
Great skill from a hard working man. I’d be very proud to carry on of these on hip
Thank you very much for your valuable comment.
This was amazing
I am amazed at the skill level and the proficiency these men displayed. Absolutely amazed. No protective wear whatsoever, and still producing finished items like they were just any other. You guys most certainly deserve more than you are making for wages.
The craftsmanship is amazing.
Thank you very much.
Interesting video
I was a professional blacksmith for years and made mostly 18th century knives and axes
I made lots of axes , unlike these folks I did it mostly by hand. No power hammers or electric forge blowers.
Most of the axes were made out of sections or old wrought iron forge welded together with a steel cutting bit welded in. Got the wrought iron from old buggy wheels or strap hinges and just used old files for the steel bit
do you have videos on how you make axes?
👍👍👍
It looks like a viking axe. Wonderful work.
Thank you very much!
Very nice work!
Thank you so much! Cheers!
Awesome!
Thank you so much.

Muchas gracias por tu hermoso comentario.
Very nice
Thank you so much!
Nice job🎉❤
Thanks 😆
Amazing how a talented smith can turn lump of iron into a useful tool without computer controlled machines. The steel hardening step is probably the most tricky. Wonder how many blades it took the smith to get the moved right.
Thank you so much for your comment and very sorry for the late reply.
Lo único que no me gustó es el temple en agua, tiene que hacer se con aceite. Por lo demás muy buen trabajo
Is the starting bar stock grader blade?
Well done sir 🙏🏻
Thank you so much.
Onde compro uma machadinha dessa?
The handle support looks great but would be actually useful if it was reversed (on the front side of the handle) and would then transfer the blow to the handle and even protected the handle from misses.
Very true
Make one and how do u make that they know what r they doing true art
Look at an axehandle its wider under the eye thats to keep it from snapping off backwards which is what that support is for , ik wym tho ive snapped them off missing but not often these arent for wood though
Exllent bro
Thank you so much 😀
Sorry for the late reply.
😢 बहूत मेहनत करते है भाई लोहार लोग असली मेहनत😢😢😢😢
I believe these are not for chopping trees or splitting logs but like machetes for brushes, bushes, saplings, and branches.
I wish you could use one of these axes and check how tough these are.
Thank you so much for your comment and sorry for the late reply.

How can I get one of your axes

Why is it always on the floor? I've seen enough of these video's to know these people are Fully capable of making their own tables. They can make everything else how are tables stumping them?
I think they need a wide working space that's why they used to work on the floor.
Thank you so much for your comment and sorry for the late reply.

How do you break big bars of steel like that? I tried it myself beacause i have thick leaf springs. I tried making notches, weak points, welding, everything. It never broke. Is the steel quality poor and therefore brittle? Or is there a precise technique to weaken the steel?
Yes that grain structure of that steel is huge and is a very brittle material, I would say not suitable for an axe, especially that thin. But they make those out of whatever they can find over there. Leaf spring steel is one of the toughest ones you'll mess with when forging. Its typically 52100 or some alloy of sorts. I would cut that leaf spring slow with a metal saw or use a angle grinder and cut off disc or several
@@joshyingling european leaf springs are hard and tough, and not brittle at all. I tried hitting my weakened spring with everything i had, it wouldn't break. So i either use an angle grinder or i heat up to white hot and hot cut a piece
@@jeanladoire4141 yeah all leaf springs are made to be tough, these guys were not using a spring steel.
@@joshyingling 52100 is used for roller and ball bearings. Some leaf springs are made of 5160.
It is a type of malleable cast iron. These are very bad products. If they put a steel plate on the blade it could be decent. But these are not axes, these are garbage

Where it's made
Thank you so much,
This is in Punjab Pakistan.
Can I get in India.
Can I get it India. If you had opened For Business you would have had a better economy
Very good skills, but my feeling says this will not do an hard job like splitting wood. Or any we do with an axe. Because the hardening from this steel is bad . Even the tempering. . Maybe this is for some special work ? Can any help ?
This guy has been making these axes for a long time and these are good for splitting wood but not for big logs of wood.
Thanks a lot for your comment.
@weicheisen9999
These axes are for cutting down trees, splitting small logs and carpentry.
And they work much better than with a stone or bronze axe. 😉😉
Woooooo The Bests ❤❤❤❤
Chào thở ren giỏi quá
I love it 😂😂😂😂❤❤❤
Thank you so much for your comment and sorry for the late reply.
Why did this iron break so easily?
they using stick weld to make a crack in the corner of harden steel, so it will break easily
That happened so fast the metal still doesn't know what hit it!
Striking rapidly slows down the rate of cooling
maashaallah
Thank you so much.

I m skilled .black smith...in Pakistan..my wish that I want to work in USA..PL any sport to me.thanx
I don’t understand what metal they make it from.
At the very beginning it looked like malleable cast iron.
The method of quenching in water, metal tempering is not performed. And why do you need such an ax?
But on a pneumatic hammer they work very well
Something from the railroads.

What is the raw steel?
When it is "cut" by a quick weld and then a strike with a hammer it is brittle and crystalline, a strange material to make an axe from!
It's a rail line steel piece.
Thanks a lot for your comment and interest.
I enjoyed watching this, I am an amateur metal smith and am always looking in to learn from professionals, but the lack of safety equipment was alarming to say the least.😂

Thank you.
cool... but anyone with a knowledge of metal knows it's not supposed to break like that. i wonder what type of steel that is, seemed to break like cast iron
It may have been heat treated and thus hardened steel.
@@spudpud-T67 however, if its heat treated, that would make it tempered which means its now at optimal strength so it definitely shouldn't break. even if its hard and brittle, i doubt a good quality steel should break like that
@@cyrillevogler4065 Tempering is just one heat treatment. It looks like its heat treated for maximum hardness only and thus brittle.
@@spudpud-T67 i see where your going but generally heat treated means its at its optimal state and that usually includes tempering. even if it doesn't include tempering, i can't see where they would want the metal to be that hard
@@cyrillevogler4065 In some other comments here the poster mentioned it is a rail iron. Cracking the way it did does not support a temper for strength option.

Why do all these videos of skilled indian craftsman always seem to show them working on the floor. Why dont they build tables and stand up??
Очень жарко, чем к зимле прохладнее 😀
Because they are not from Western societies!
The practice of sitting on the ground and doing any domestic job cooking, eating etc etc is a common practice among Indians...it is healthy to sit on the floor as much as possible....even traditional money lenders, jewellery dealers sit on the floor with a cushion bed of say 5 or 6 inches height and transact crores of business
They are not indian they are pakistani belong to wazir abad punjab pakistan wazir abad in pakistan is cutlery 🍴 hub
Irrespective of the place / nation, it is very healthy for any body, if we are able to practice to sit on the floor and carry on the routine, as far as possible...it all depends on the pratice cultivated and the climate prevailing ... 🙏
Poor quality metal display only wouldn't hold an edge for five minutes in use
Thanks a lot for your opinion.
that title what a joke
Thanks a lot for your opinion!
And these guys have no protection whatsoever..... shame
Recycled steel is horrible. No thanks
guy doesn't know anything about making axes, what he made will probably fall apart quickly.
This guy has been making these axes for a long time and they are very reliable.
@@SkillSpotter I guarantee you that this shit would fall apart after a few hours of working in the forest.
Can u make it for me.

Just for the info, they are Pakistanis 🇵🇰
Traditionally & culturely they like to sit on the floor, to have more room for there job things .
