Thank you, be safe, and be grateful.
So honored and humbled by this Scott! The axe itself is absolutely beautiful, and watching you create it was stunning! So very kind of you for all of the nice words you spoke, that’s one of the reasons why we all love you! You’re a very genuine and sincere person. Thank you very much, and I’m looking forward to seeing it and sharing it with all of my viewers! It’s going to be a nice tool to pack in the camper. 👍🏻👍🏻
Adam! I’m hoping to get it shipped tomorrow!
@@essentialcraftsman My two favorite people on youtube all in a bromance... Awwww.
You are so blessed. So cool.
This is so cool. I found this in Abom79' stash that I'm watching and it took me a second to realize who I was watching. It's been awhile since I've been to your channel EC but I've certainly enjoyed your house building series. Shifted away from the house to watch welding and machining videos and it's like so many UA-cam channel hosts are connected in one fashion or another. Recently found This Old Tony who always brings a smile to my face and his inclusion of Abom into one of them plus other people in other videos and it just makes the world feel alright. I work overseas in an office by myself but I find solace in watching you craftsmen do your trades. Connection between craftsmen like this just makes it all that much better. Thank you both for fine fine work and edutainment you provide. Thanks to all of the other craftsmen who do the same. Kudos!!! Oh and Oregon was my home of record during my 20 years of service, just out on the Eastern side of the state. Cheers!
So inspiring to watch, challenging yourself to learn new skills and to use them effectively to create something unique to your own design has to be one of life’s most rewarding pastimes. I no longer watch the news in favour of UA-cam, the world seems a better place already. Regards from 🇬🇧
When you spoke about Steve Harris and showed his shop and skills it reminded me of something my Grandfather told me when I was a kid. I don't remember what broke, but I remember riding with him and dropping it off at someone's shop. As we drove back to the farm I said, "Granddaddy you didn't ask him how much it was going to cost!" Granddaddy replied, " Son, he's the best I've ever seen. In your life, if you meet someone like that you don't ask them who much it costs you ask them when they can get to yours."
Grandfather's have the wisdom of a lifetime to share.
Love the tip from Grandfather.
What's sad is most people today do not know how much work goes into a quality handmade product. I do woodworking and people always want me to give them a cheap price. They have no idea the hrs I put into it.
@@Rufio1975 I'm hearing you brother. Don't come down to their level. If they want the cheap price tell them to buy from China or Vietnam and wait out the delivery time.
@@Rufio1975 The other thing to do is to ask them what they do for a crust and find out if they work for a cheap price for you. Bet you that the answer is no.
Nice Axe!
Thank you Torbjorn!! Your videos helped me a LOT!!!
High praise coming from this guy!
see this is why we like you, EC. you give back, you share the credit, youre humble, but despite all that, you have huge skill, and make a great mentor. God bless you. you rock.
Luci, Adam Booth is built from the same stock.
Holy smoke dude, you are amazing! No short cuts, no tricks, no gimmicks...just old fashioned excellence.
A definite thumbs up.
1) It was a gift for someone l also admire.
2) The thoroughness of the process was very well done .
3) It's always a pleasure to watch someone preform that has
learned through practise .
I do not have the proper words to describe how I feel watching and listening to you. You remind me so much of my Dad. You skills are a pleasure to watch. You are very inspiring. God Bless.
So glad I got to meet you at the 1st GOTL Fest in 2018. I visited Abom's shop with my 80 year old mother back in 2017 while on a road trip to visit Adam Booth, James Kilroy and Keith Rucker. We had an awesome time. I wish I was as good a friend of yours as Adam to get something for my collection as nice as that. Adam's a lucky guy. If you ever decide to make something that your fans could purchase please put me at the top of the list! I am a huge fan of all you and your son are doing......"Keep up the good work"!
I love that you mentioned Alec Steele! His channel is actually how I found your channel a while back. Love to see things come full circle!
Well these based dudes need to spread the word because UA-cam won't spread it for them as they aren't rabid communists thus unwanted by UA-cam.
@@bashkillszombies , awww... you're spoiling it for the Conservatives who only whisper these truths behind closed doors. Totally true and needed in America.
I came to watch your video because Adam Booth. Sir, your are a special person, the same type as Adam, God bless you. Your craft, superb!
I would adore it if we could have a long-form video of you hand forging something. No music, no voiceover, just the sounds of forging.
Don't get me wrong, I love listening to you talk and share your knowledge, but your shop has such an amazing resonance to it. Anvils in your shop don't sound the same anywhere else.
That would be incredible. Thank you for all your time and energy
This is beautiful. My favorite machinist anecdote centers on the man who taught me to run basic machine tools when I had my first job (I went to a fish plant in AK to work the line, one thing led to another and I was in the engineering shop before the season began). In my third year I had been promoted and was working as an assistant to our boiler tech, my assignment before the fishing season kicked off was to punch the tubes in our boilers, I found mineral deposits in one of the tubes and an inspection had to be ordered before we could fire the boiler at full pressure, and to prep for that inspection we needed to scrape the deposits in the tube so the damage could be assessed. We didn't have a scraper, so we turned to Lance, our machinist. Lance had made a living for many years custom building race engines from scratch on manual machines, and continued to do so in the off season. He spent a minute measuring our tube and came back shortly after with a beautiful hand machined scraper. Unfortunately we had to return it to him almost immediately because he had machined it to such a tight tolerance that it was nearly impossible to use, as a lark before he turned it down we worked it into the tubea few inches, plugged the other end, and pulled a vacuum when attempting to extract it.
A friend of mine just told me about your channel. I love what you are doing. I'll be buried for a while going through your videos. Thank you sir.
Men like you are few an far between , thank you for being an inspiration, an showing what true friendship is about
Channels like this one are what we need to keep the trades going. My welding instructor attended a meeting at AWS and they told him that large companies are afraid to bid on projects for the lack of skilled workers with that priceless grey-beard experience. The ability to look over the shoulder of these craftsman is a privilege to our youth. Please promote the passing on and trade of knowledge. If we humans are going to make it off this planet, access to universal knowledge is a must. Well here it is boys. Welcome to the parts house of the human brain engine. Love this era of world classrooms.
15:30 “I hope Adam didn’t buy a radius cutter just for this project.” Ha. When has any craftsman lamented a good excuse to buy a new tool!? Making a gift is the best justification of all because you can view it as selfless … and you get to keep the tool!
True words spoken.
In japan the remaining old school Master Craftsmen are requarded and respected as 'NATIONAL TREASURES' and deserve it..Great Job Sir. all of you.
I am still in the Philippines waiting to get back to Canada with now my 1 year old daughter keeping me awake at night and I have quiet time to watch and learn. I am building a welding shop here with a blacksmith wing for locals to learn and make there own tools. I wish I could send you a picture of the local blacksmith shop anvil - looks like a swayback horse. I have no Idea how many years old it might be But it has been hammered on for more than one generation.... It is so good to be able to watch and learn from real tradesman at there craft.... You have encouraged me to do my own channel here maybe -
Made in the Philippines - Stick - Rock - and a broken piece of Glass ...... Thanks for making such great videos ....
Adam, from just his videos, is such a nice person. super kind guy!
My grandfather was a machinist for Seeger Refrigerator Co. (eventually Whirlpool) in St. Paul, MN and retired in the mid-70s. I still have his Kennedy tool box and most of his tools. He could make anything out of steel or wood. I am sure he would love your UA-cam channel. He's probably be interested in the new tool systems Abom uses.
Wow what a wealth of know! When you not sure on how to do something in today’s world some one has probably all ready shared it. Thanks you for the Attention to detail and to the Pointing out the simplest of actions that will make most things go smoother. Being a Carpenter, Block layer ,tree cutter, amateur blacksmith fix anything kind of guy for 30 years I love to watch your videos and learn something.Thank you!!
I hope I'm not overstepping, if not overselling it, but this is the best homegrown video documentary, I’ve seen. It’s worthy of some sort of video award. I mean you see, feel and embrace the purpose of this axe and how special it was to make and even more special for its intimate reasoning. Awesome. just, awesome.
Most excellent production.
The attention the the humanity of "the craftsman". The next generation in the saddlery shop. The tribute to your mentors old and young. The fully voiced appreciation to the talent that guides you. Make you the real craftsman. As the real craftsman never stops exploring, learning developing.
Thank you for giving us this moment in time.
I put you (EC), Abom79, and Andrew Camarata as my three top favorites on UA-cam. (I also have given up on watching TV for the most part, as UA-cam is so much better.) I noticed last year that you guys met at the Good of the Land festival in Lindale, Texas. I currently live on the east coast (NJ), and grew up on the West (Santa Cruz and Montague, CA), but I spent 13 years in Lindale, so that seemed cool.
Oh, and I saw today's video from Andrew Camarata. He was bragging on the Burke Bar you give him. (Which he broke a while back, then welded together!)
My UA-cam favorites are like good friends I get to keep in touch with. And you guys have gotten me started on my garage, finally turning it into a workshop. I'm going to try some videos too, but that won't be right away.
Thanks again for the great entertainment, the great teaching, and the great inspiration.
Thirty years in aerospace dealing with tolerances even tighter, the idea of working metal into a working tool is still mystical. The elements of Damascus steel, tempering, and metallurgy are the true science from which it all began. Just getting to spend time on the shop floor makes all the time at the design table worth it.
I commented on Adam's video that it is a work of art and useful. The work, thought, and heart you put into the axe speaks worlds of you sir. God bless.
I wonder if people appreciate how effortless you make it all look. Speaking to a camera and being so warm, friendly and conversation like.
I suffer from depression I hate being round negativity as well so I close my self away from everyone.
The destruction and evil that we humans cause has made me lose faith in humanity. But when I come across a person like this gentleman it warms may heart as I didn’t think there were people like him around and this makes me think WOW WOULDNT IT BE BLISS IFF THE WORLD WAS MADE OF PEOPLE LIKE THIS GENTLEMAN it would be heaven.
It’s ok to wish surely x
Such a talented and humble soul.
Thanks to You Tube,I really enjoy watching you work.
My grandfather was a machinist. I still have his Kennedy tool box that he used for 40+ years. He could build anything out of steel or wood. I still miss him. He's been gone since '81.
It will be great to see Adam use this Axe during one of his camping adventures.
Thank you for showing, you have demonstrated over the time that I follow your videos a grate cense of goodness in you, a mentor in forging, respect for others, you are just a good person, thank you. They should be more like you. I have a very small shop I make knives, and turn some pens, and I enjoy looking at your videos because reminds me of my Grandpa, he was just like you and all I have learned about Damascus I leaned from him and now the knives I make I do not sale them I give them to people to enjoy, the same with the pens. I thank you for taking me back to the old good times with my Grandpa, and have a wonderful day.
I love your humility. Love watching and learning what I can from you and like you mentioned Alec Steele. You both are incredible craftsman. I am yet in my humble beginning of this hobby. I built a riveter forge and have had more fails than success, but my boys and I keep learning. You remind me of my father and grandfather. Just good down to earth and willing to teach. Keep up the good work.
I love it when the crafting/machining channels collaborate, it seems to be a very friendly group of people.
May favorite is AvE making Copper Swing Presses for all his favorite channels. EC got one. They are beautiful 2ish lb chunks of CNCd copper
I an old Fitter and Turner from way back and a would be Blacksmith.
Been watching Adam and Alec for ages. I love hand made stuff. And you two making interesting stuff for each other is simply great UA-cam
Excellent work! It is heartwarming to see good people using the cesspool known as the interwebs, to show respect to other good people. As you were. Keep up the good work.
Just wonderful old school hand made craftsmanship. I found your channel through watching Adam Booth and its on my list now - im just an old mechanic but ive always loved the idea of working with ones hands and either restoring something back to original or creating something new for the first time, its an art fast disappearing and its a good thing theres channels like this for the young to see and hopefully pick up and pass on to their friends and family.
The big man showed your Axe on his channel, it is outstanding and you have gained yet another subscriber. The Axe is outstanding, and your craft skills are absolutely impressive. I look forward to catching up on your videos.
I really enjoy your videos Scott. Your skills and knowledge, tempered by your humility, brought to the viewer in easy and comforting manner are truly a pleasure to watch. Thanks for the video.
You need your own tv show ! Great work . Love the humble approach and genuine care Your show in others
Liam Hoffman is about an hour from where I live and I got to take my two sons over to his shop for a homeschool field trip. He gave us a tour of his shop and a demonstration. Liam Hoffman is a class act! He is a great young man and a great craftsman! Great job on the axe! I love it!
gardeningpreacher looking to get a LH axe patently waiting for one to come available that’s cool you got to tour the shop with your boys.
Our boys aren't quite old enough for homeschool, but when we do, I want to tour as many shops as we can. That sounds like a great tour.
Torbjörn Åhmans videos are fantastic. Very well made and his work spans a large range of things.

I just saw the video of Adam opening this gift. What a beautiful and wonderful gift. I wish I could see am episode of antiques roadshow from the year 2320. Where someone has a gem on an axe made by a little known blacksmith in the Willamette valley.
Torbjorn Alman is my opinion the best of the steel masters, and multiple working arts
Thanks, you are maybe the best for the treatment of others Sir
Jack of all trades master of a bunch of them. Thanks for passing on your knowledge.
Fantastic!!!! I'm a friend of Adam's.... Have not seen your channel before but subscribed today. Scott this was an outstanding video and it's obvious that you have acquired a lot of wisdom over the years. It's easy to see why you have such a successful channel as you edify those around and at the same time exhibit such humility. Traits that I personally value and one's that are very hard to find in our modern world. Bless you and your family, I hope I'm fortunate enough to meet you some day.
So nice of you to give me a metal fix with a little heat on the side. I really enjoy metal working projects. But making a living on the feast and famine is a tough way to live these days. I can relate to your slight bad taste of the so called customers that want ornamental iron for their home and are somewhat hesitant on the payment part and very rarely give you a total positive referral that one so deserves and is always told from the beginning to the end.
So nice of you Essential Craftsman to give Adam something to cherish. Keep on making and working with hot metal so we all on UA-cam can get inspired of the truly unique ornamental metal to be had just under one's hand's.
Keep up your great work of the losts arts.
Christ! Look at the tools you have. I respect the fact that you were able to acquire those tools, great job man
Scott you forging really gave me the final push to get me really going to start forging. Axes and hatches have always been my favorite cutting tool and I've never driven anywhere without one in my pickup. I just finished up forging my 5th axe and its definitely my best work. I wish I could share pictures to show you what you inspired me to make.
Love the way you make a thing of beauty out of almost nothing. Like the way you tell your stories too. I'm hooked on your channel now.............
Man.. I recently discovered your channel. One of the most easy listening, useful, and informative channels I now follow. Thanks for amazingly enjoyable content.
My dad was a Tool and Die maker his whole life and years ago before he retired he had me in the shop. There was a milling machine with a digital display and he asked me to try to move the bench 1 thousandth of an inch. I tried...moved it 3 thousandths. He joked, well that would have ruined the piece you were working on. Then he went over and tapped the crank in a certain way and moved it 1 thousandth of an inch. Made me realize he was underpaid for the amount of skill it took to do that work.
One of the problems with watching a skilled craftsman, they make things look easy until you try it and realize how much time and work it took to get that skilled. I went into software development, it's a different skill but I still have a lot of respect those that can make stuff with their hands.
That's my (small) experience with digital readouts too, or turning the hand wheel without the DRO, you've gotta really be gentle to get the 0.001"
Mike, many of us who work with our hands have no clue how to develop software. I, for one have a great deal of respect for the time it took you to earn your skills.
@@travisnull273 Thanks, I appreciate that.
Whenever I think about making something "look easy" my mind goes to major league baseball... Years of practice to play a kids game and make it look effortless. The formula to be truly great at anything is about the same!
Hi Scott, I showed up here to watch the process of making the axe that Adam showed off on his channel. Really enjoyed the video, I think I will stick around for a while.
As to being intimidated by the close tolerances that machinists have to work in, keep in mind that the tools they use are designed for those tolerances, so it makes it possible to machine something to within two tenthousandths of an inch, providing that you have enough skill and finesse to operate the machine correctly.
Sir this video is awesome. There is small corner of the internet where you are king. You mention so many channels which I already follow. Your content is amazing, but most importantly AVE has time for you. I just love everything this channel puts out and much respect to you sir.
I would call it a light weight camp ax. You can chop and shave wood for a fire. Light enough to wheel stacks For tens or just about anything. I have followed Abom79 for years and have jumped to your site many times. Outstanding and heart enlighten video. Thank you
It's so refreshing to watch your videos and listen to your knowledge. Thank you for the videos.
Great job. I watched your video after watching Adams video for the box opening and the explanation of the axe. Always great to watch a true craftsman at work and there were three true craftsman involved with this project. Video Much appreciated as is the craftsmanship!
Wonderful video! Knowing the axe is for Adam made it even better.
Thank you for your videos sir. The simple music and humble words of a master inspire me to be better than I am. Not only at my craft but as a man. Thank you for your art both out of metal and from a camera.
You picked a great person to make that ax for. Great job on the ax.
This is almost therapeutic. It’s watching something start off as “useless” or unwanted, and you turn it into something beautiful. Not to mention so much wisdom. I’ve had an axe in my hand since I was 6. My first and favorite tool to this day. Keep up your work. Makes my day!
What an amazing gift. Anyone worth their salt would be proud to own it!
You are the essential craftsman. God bless hope you are doing well. Your workshop and tools are amazing.
When I heard Adams name I paused for a moment and was like "hold on, I know that name" and then about the time you said his channel name it dawned on me and floored me. I didn't realize you know or referenced every single youtube who inspired me to get back out into the shop and forge more. Not to mention Abom getting me into fixing my lathe and mill.
Scott, you have a lot of friends because you know how to be a friend. Folks feel that from you and respond to it. Thanks for making this old world a better place
Your friend Steve Harris's work is absolutely incredible! I don't know anything about riding horses, but I do know a tiny bit about decorative knots. The pictures on his website are beautiful.
Yepper!!! He is the best!
Watching real men work never get old. Thumbs up. I just spent $10,000 bringing my heavy equipment company tools to the Philippines because they dont have quality tools here, and I was not quite ready to give up my big vices and anvil just yet. Just a heads up if your ever going to move to the Philippines bring your own tools because for a tiny vice that weighs only 5 lbs is over $100 us and you cant even buy cobalt drill bits. Also bring your own power tools and a 10,000 watt DIAMOND CONVERTER... you will be glad you did. Abom is a great channel. Thanks for a great upload
I understand the appreciation for someone, that can create something with such tight tolerances. I'm a third generation Machinist myself, and I love knowing how to get a part to be within 1/10,000 of an inch. I was once asked where I got a tape measure that divides an inch to that degree, I couldn't quite hide my laugh.
I totally agree about the joys of making a gift. However I was recently reminded how nice it is to make something for yourself every once and a while. It has been a habit of mine when making something for myself making it purely functional and not putting any extra effort into making a nice piece . Anyway I broke that cycle and it kinda reminded me why I enjoy making things in the first place.
This sometimes upside down world of ours needs more amazing people like you. Your skills are incredible - from building a beautiful home to mounting an anvil! Your inner peace, caring and generosity are both inspirational and contagious. Thank you for sharing your gifts with us. Stay healthy.
Nice job Scott! It great to see an experienced craftsman try new things.
You are a man of many talents and your passion is contagious. Keep it up.
This is the first time I've seen canister Damascus outside of Forged in Fire.
Lovely work 👍
To many blacksmiths rough out a shape then hack it to final shape on a saw.You did the lot from start to finish with a hammer and the result is FANTASTIC.
Great video and beautiful axe! 2.5 lbs is a sweet spot for camping, hunting, and general bush work. I have a number of good axes and hatchets over a wide range of sizes, but my 2.5'er is my favorite. I bought it when I lived in the Yukon Territory and took it on many trips into the bush and in particular on a float-hunting trip on which it helped to save a friend's life and mine. I hope some day to forge one myself. Thanks for bringing us along on your adventure!
Sometimes I get teary eyed and cry when I see the pure skill and dedication of someone doing amazing work, as a junior mechatronics student I dont get to be in the shop as much as I would like and while watching you I couldn't help but cry at all the amazing things going on. Thanks Scott, keep it up.
Aye - vote to see the saddle shop and leather work. Always like to see nice crafted leather stuff
Ahhhh, craftsmanship. Thumbs up to you all.
You make me tear up Scott. We haven't met yet.. you were out to the coast when I came by the spec house....but my heart misses you and all the Wadsworth Co. beyond the telling. God less you all. Darrell
I've been watching Adam for a few years now, I'm just glad he introduced me to your channel. I'm 58 and have a great deal of respect for true craftsmen.
Best thing about the Internet: you get to meet folks you never could have met otherwise, and share your passions and friendship.
Wow I sure do like your channel! So peaceful and well spoken. Thank you sir.
Awesome video Scott! Nice work on that axe 🪓 What a great gift for Adam. He sure is a great guy and I’m sure it will be put to use.
So us "old dogs" can learn new tricks. That is what helps keeping us moving forward. I've been following Alex since he started. The kid is blessed and what an infectious attitude. Keep up the good work EC!
I may or may not have shed a tear here... this is truly remarkable. A relationship of two craftsman who hardly know each other. And yet, they share a kinship and appreciation for one another as tradesman. That’s something very special in my opinion.
Your Shop reminds me of the Machine Shop in an Alaskan Salmon Cannery. Started on my Dad's Boat at 15, always shadowed the Port Engineer when Fishing was closed. Magical places!
Wow, what a great video. Didn’t know this was a gift for Adam when I clicked on it. Adam is definitely a great guy. I had an opportunity to do a couple videos with him. Super nice man. As soon as I seen the metal chips, I immediately thought of ABOM79. Great video sir. Nicely done.
Enjoyed watching little long hair oblivious of her surroundings and in her own world, that's how it's done teach them young don't do it for them but keep an eye on them from a distance and let them figure it out on there own. It's a shame shop time has been put aside from most school curriculums.
Play Safe From Elliot Lake Ontario Canada.
couldn't agree more. wood shop and metal shop classes are invaluable.
We are a few days late watching this, but my wife and I really enjoyed watching you having a good time making this ax!! I have loved tools since I was a little boy and have been a carpenter for over 50 yrs. Thank you!!!! R and W
Outstanding filmwork here. Thanks
Really enjoy the house project and earlier videos but beginning to enjoy the blacksmithing videos more and more!
I would have to say for your first Axe other than a Tomahawk, that you did a very great job good sir. I am hoping that one day I can get a chance to meet a few of the great UA-cam creators I watch daily and its great that you have already got to experience that. Great work once again.
Beautiful anvil. I'm 52 and wanted to learn how to forge things and maybe make some knives for family and friends and I have been looking for an anvil used one that is and boy do people like them they are expensive. I like watching you work and you are a very good teacher. That why I subscribed to your channel. maybe I can learn something.
I’ve now seen both videos, yours as the giver and Adam’s as a grateful recipient. It’s obvious that you two were destined to find each other. I don’t think we’ve seen the last of the creativity you could collaborate on. As a viewer/subscriber of both channels, there is no down side to that from where I sit! 😎👍👏
I love your family And Christian friendly show. I am so glad to see your UA-cam channel taking off.
Thank you for all of your information and insight.
Beautiful acts by the way what a beautiful piece, You’re an awesome blacksmith.
Happy trails for me and my family and I show back to the basics 101.
Luke
You did an absolutely smashing job. It is beautiful. Good on you following your artistic vision on this one. Whenever I pay for something handcrafted like this, I really like to leave the design up to the artisan. There is a reason they are the artist with all the experience and not myself. I have never been disappointed. Your work is absolutely beautiful and really shows the craftsmanship and time that is poured into each piece. It reminds me of our history and how far we have come. Nothing beats a hand crafted tool though.
I agree, handmade gifts generate the best memories! You remember making them, and I find that the people you give them too tend to remember them better as well.
Very nice! I just watched Adam unbox this axe and had to see you. Thanks
Nice work sir! I enjoy your approach and you craftsmanship! Enjoy listening to your thoughts! Thank you sir for taking us on your journey.
Lovely narrative and perspective on the value of making things
