- The simple wrapped eye axe or tomahawk we started the other day still needs to be hardened and tempered. After that we can ad a handle and try it out as a throwing axe.
I purchase tomahawk handle from House Handle Company

Watching you videos is like having the greatest neighbor ever! Wealth of knowledge!
I really appreciate your videos, thanks
Love the ending. Glad we didn’t see that coming.
I use a cut wrap of tanned deer skin wet it wrap in on the handle and slide it together and let it dry!! It will help to keep the handle from sliding loose! If it gets too loose just wet the leather and tsp the handle down again!!
I ran a bead of 8018 weld in the eye of mine to help hold it better.
I've gotten to the point where I'm excited to see a new video from John. I have learned alot from him and there is still so much to learn. Side note: I believe he mentioned a gun rack in another video before. Would be cool to see that when he gets the time.
I think we’d all like to see these little trade axes added to your Etsy site! I’d like to use something like this for backpacking.
Well John, you did it, you inspired me to make my first axe and do my first Forge welding. Happy to see I succeeded in both. Thank you very much, I love your Channel.
Great to hear.
Love it! Nice bloopers at the end too! Thanks for the link for referencing where to buy the handles... Thats nice.
Timothy Dyck househandle.com. Awesome place great customer service too.
Your videos are very very informative to a newbie like me
Awesome job. I recently forged my first successful thing. A set of tongs. With your playlist on tongs I built them like you educated. I'm a lefty so I built them baasackwards and am proud of them. Thanks John for the awesome content 👍
Great video and a great tip at the end! I never would've thought to wedge it at 90 degrees.
Thanks!
Nice video
I liked the end with the beloppers and camera fal.
😂😂😂😂😂
🤘😃🤘
Thank you John for another great video!
Thanks for taking us along!
Thank you for your great work
Yep love the ending! Love the throwing axes too!
Finished out fantastic
Great ending! Thanks John I'm learning a lot from your channel.
Thanks for watching!
Keep up the good work!
Excellent instructions thank you
Looks Great Man I will definitely need to make one!
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 thumbs up, great job, keep the videos coming!
Nice job John!
Very nice project. Thanks for the reminder about House handle Co, I need to get some handles from them.
Very nice work.
Toaster oven is definitely my go to for smaller blades. Great work mate, a beautiful and functional tool!
Great instructions today bud. I would love to make one of these when I ever get time eh. Thanks John. Nice throwing eh !
Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge sir.
Nice video, thanks!
Hi John, I could be wrong, but don't you think that the temper colors were risen slower in that one corner because that was on the anvil the whole time (heat sink)? Or don't you think that makes much of a difference? (great video btw, the editing is getting better and better (that shot of you pre-heating the oil while mentioning it, small things like that make a difference), really enjoyable to watch)
Pretty spiffy Mr. John. Nice rustic project. I like the way you treat and temper in the traditional way if the time period. Gives folks an option of doing it old school.
Ohhh dang, hope you dont need a new camera now giggle 🤫
Blessed day sirSir,
Crawford out 🧙♂️
Lol. We all miss sometimes. Nice little ending
Hello John
I love this two Videos
I like what you doing and i like that stile of the Videos
You now change the shop and the stile
The Videos are still good and teachfull but a littlebit of the Flair is gone
Ok that is my meaning and i am still watching and learning
All the best
Yours Frank
In what way is the flair gone? I certainly want to keep things interesting
@@BlackBearForge hello John
To make thinks clear i love your Videos and i like you as a Person
You are a though guy and try thinks out
So you decide to change the outfit of the shop and it is good it is your shop
Now the shop looks clean and very Organized for me it is to clean to organized .
In your older Videos there were some small imperfections the shop looks a littlebit Dusty it seems that you can smell the coal the Paste wax and the hot iron the flux
Now i Think alot of this is gone
What you do now is perfekt teachfull and i learned a lot from you but you do it not so light not so ok i do it lets see what comes out
There it looks like something heavy is in your thinking and that spread in your behaviers it take the Joy out of you.
John i hope i dont hurt your feelings or something in this way that is not what i want
I see the change for me that is one meaning that can only be my meaning and nobody else see this in this way.
I like you and when we were living in the same Country and not so far away with this amound of water between i would visit you that we can talk in Person
All the best to you stay healthy
Yours Frank
Nice video
Enjoyed your vids as always. What grit was in that grinder flap disk? Asking for a friend 😀
I do love how you tells more ways to skin a cat...If you skin cats you would have different knives or maybe tommahawk.
I did see one blacksmith hold the eye from splitting with rivits
Loved the video and I see that you have the same problem with getting holes in your shirt at the same place as me.
If I remembered to wear the apron all of the time, it would help my shirts last much longer
Haha I like your honesty
You could of edited it out...
Nice!
Would you make a small bearded hatchet?
When drifting it was done all from one side. Top or bottom. So the handle can drop in ....thx again ...paul
All done fro the top of the axe
Nice axe! Do you preheat the toaster oven before you put in the tool?
Ooooooooooops!!! There goes another kilowatt dam.
Do they sell the drifts to match their handles or do you make your own?
Nice throwers! Nice oops at the end too! lol ;) I have a question about the wedging you mentioned. If you do put a wedge in this handle will it keep it from being able to be knocked out if you hit the ax head from the top? Just curious, great video as always.
Since they eye is tapered, you might still be able to knock the handle out, but it would be more difficult. If you want the handle to be removable I wouldn't wedge it.
@@BlackBearForge Thanks for the reply. I like the simplicity of this handle but wouldn't necessarily want the ax head to be easily knocked down. I haven't actually made a tomahawk yet, just sorta getting ideas. Thanks again.
What oil are you using?
Am I understanding that you just did a harden and temper in one step? I guess that's why you didn't dunk the whole head right away. Letting the residual heat run and temper the edge. I hope I got that right and didn't miss half the information again.
Yes, the residual heat can be used for tempering. However it is not as precise as using a temperature controlled oven.
Hello sir...quick question, I struggle to understand tempering process. So after the quench you temper in a oven, toaster if you uave it, for a specified heat/time per material. My question, how long? What heats? What do the color mean? If I do it for an hour in a toaster oven can I leave it in until cool or do I have to take it out immediately and let air cool?
tempering is a controlled reheating of the material to reduce hardness from the initial quench, which leaves to much stress in the material. The exact temperature depends on the steel and the desired properties of the finished tool. It is best to look up the specific type of steel to get information on the specific hardening and tempering temperature. The color changes indicate temperature and are reasonably accurate.
@@BlackBearForge thank you sir I do appreciate the response. Now what the particular method is I'm sure depends on the steel but is it common to leave the metal in the oven as it cools or should I take it out? Is two cycles needed?
Ha, ha, ha, crack me up.
I see you turn the gas off to your Forge. But when you turn the gas back one it automatically lights. Do you have an electronic ignition, or does it reignite just because the forge is still so hot?
It reignites from the heat left in the forge. But only do this to make the audio quality better for the videos. I don't shut it off when working normally
@@BlackBearForge thank you
What temp do you heat your oil to
Its about 200F
Where did you get the beveled eye maker
The drift should be available through Pieh Tool
Thanks
John, have supported you in my small way by letting the ads play through, but the twenty + minute ad kinda tested my limit. Had time to make a coupla fried bologna sammich's, ate them, and went back to the fridge for a second washdown beer. Know that it's not your doings, but if you could let the powers that be @ UA-cam know that subscribers are being abused by this practice and don't appreciate this particular kind of abusive behavior, would be a godsend. I, personally have emailed and complained about this issue at least 7 or 8 times to UA-cam. Never got a reply. Am not trying to be an a$$, just a simple 'let you be aware' piece of info. It's not just your channel. Has happened on Abom's channel, Roy's (CCIW) channel, and at least a coupla dozen more over the past three months or longer. If you, as a publisher, can communicate with the 'UA-cam Gods' with any success, I am sure that at least one of your subscribers will appreciate it. Love your effort and content, John. 🐾🔥⚒
