    Hi Nils, wonderful work. How many axes can you forge in a day?

    •  3 роки тому +1

      Thanks. Well it depends what you mean. I can forge a few at the same time, but i cant do all the steps in one day. So one day i might forge, the other u grind and heat treat and the final day I make and fit the handle

    If Nils asks if you want to arm wrestle, run away screaming like a little girl.
    You know a man is a hard-ass if he has an automatic pounder, but he mostly doesn’t use it.
