  • I show two homemade swage blocks for blacksmithing - one I manly use for hardy tools and one I mainly use for axes. I also show the accessories - like bolster plates, hammer and axe drifts.
    Most of the tools I show is homemade from leaf springs.

    This is one of my favorite of your videos. Your ability to clearly explain your process, without saying a damn word, is even more remarkable than your bushcraft. I have no idea how you compare to other blacksmiths, but your presentation is outstanding. Thanks for making this!

    That's a remarkably clever, simple, and versatile system. I've just abruptly ended my search for a decent old swage block :-)

    Ah...the old way's of smithing, damned hard work but also very rewarding. It goes to show that, many people in this day and age have forgotten things like this and also very hard work for the simple things. When making things the process should be approached in the manner of producing things of what I call "Craftsmanship" level, meaning they should be produced with skill and care. Sure some things CAN be made mass production and be OK, but they will NEVER outlast nor will they ever approach the quality of a hand made product that the maker put his/her heart and soul into. This is old world aka good world, a single axe made by this man could serve generations of people and still keep going when taken care of. We live in such a finite world these day's, so much waste and useless things when we could have quality and less waste. I would gladly pay a large sum for some thing masterfully crafted, than some cheap junk for a mass producer. Love the video, black smithing is an art that is sadly dying, though perhaps not...there is some resurgence in it in some parts of the world I believe.

    This is just awesome !
    Blacksmith'ing made organic, somehow...
    I really think that your videos should be shown to older grades in schools (Folkeskolens ældste klasser).
    It would result in an explosion of the numbers of blacksmith's and woodworkers.
    It's inspirational what you do, Malthe.

    I like that you keep the primitive approach alive in everything you do, It is not as easy as most would think when there in many cases already exists a newer and quicker option.

  • @gabrielbowman4564
    @gabrielbowman4564 5 років тому

    Great video dude! What type of steel are you using to make your drifts? Is the type of steel important or do you just have to quench them more often while drifting if they are a lower grade steel? I love this series on your blacksmithing tools!

    • @BertramCraftAndWilderness
      @BertramCraftAndWilderness  5 років тому

      Thanks. I use spring steel, not heat treated, for my drifts. The same for punches, just heat treated in most cases. I use spring steel from the local scrap yard for 99% of my blacksmithing tools. If you just making one or two example axes is is the steel of the drift not critical. The closer you get to mass production the more critical does the steel of your drifts get.
      If your drift isn't made from hard steel will it not last very long.

  • @rickw.3436
    @rickw.3436 5 років тому

    Can i ask how you came by these solutions? Because you have a number of answers to tricky questions, did you arrive simultaneously at the idea to use wood as a backing for swage blocks and bolster plates, or was it from careful study of viking smithing? You have kind of answered a question of mine, if you want to make viking axes, make them in the same way. Thanks.)

    • @BertramCraftAndWilderness
      @BertramCraftAndWilderness  5 років тому +1

      Thanks. I just made things up as I went along... Used the tools as a full time blacksmith making axes.... so did continue to improve until it was ideal enough. No inspiration from anything specific - just in general from all over the world. I just don't own a welding machine or power hammer or similar.... so I am use to all my home made solutions need to be something like this.

    • @rickw.3436
      @rickw.3436 5 років тому

      i like that you arrived at the same answers as they did through the work. asking the question, what do i need to make this? how can i do it? and then going about making the tools to make the thing. i like that its possible to step outside of our time and arrive back a place where something great is still possible, and with very little in terms of tools and devices, and very much in terms of observation and skill. i know it takes a long time to get to that place, but when you do, you can transfer abilities from one thing to another. your work is exceptional because of that.
