I've been waiting for someone to make this happen for years! Good on you sir! Keep it up please. It would be awesome to see you remake a bunch of popular older axes
Really, really nice axe. But dude!! That was some seriously casual chopping. You're lucky you had steel caps on, I could see that axe slipping and cutting off your toes. Stay safe. I enjoy your channel
I’d kill for a double bit Tuatahi - racing axe (cross cutting grain) 15 degree bit one side and 22 degrees work axe (splitting long grain) bit the other side. Wings ground out on both bits.
Great video and beautiful axe, you did a much better job crafting the axe than chopping with it. To your defense, that limb was too light and needed to be fastened down in some way. New subscriber, love your videos.
The box the rod came in is so beat up I can't make out any words on it....Seem to remember it being a Ni rod or stainless...sorry....ask your welding rep
"Two ah ta he" pronounced from the stomach too the throat as a half cast northland new zealnder i think thats how it could be spoken but im probably wrong, hope that helps :)
A dude saw this video and has commissioned me to make one now, so thanks for that. (You cut will be I the mail :p) Out of curiosity, what is that hot cut made from? Holds it shape super well and you don't seem to cool it often/at all. Messed around with lots of different alloys myself too see how each work, so was wondering if you remembered. Cheers man.
Shiny visual is similar to Tuatahi but geometry is totally different. Tuatahi racing axes have hollow cheeks, low angle flat grind, thin behind the edge. It is just forging experiment for fun....so it doesn't matter if it have propper functional geometry or not. But main problem is your chopping technique. It's dumb and quite dangerous. Please have some self preservation.
That was some of the worst chopping ive ever seen... bro you almost cut off your toes multiple times... also you need to make the edge thinner because it glanced way to much and is dangerous
Are you able to email some more info on this. Chopping is outside my regular skill set and I would gladly take some more advice on this topic. info@thak.ca Thanks
@@ThakIronworks i don't use email but there are a few really great teachers on youtube. Ben Scott and kevin kevech. They both adopt techniques from competition choppers and have some good videos talking about that and general axe safety. I also wanted to say that your axe looks beautiful. Maybe a couple tweaks on the geometry and it would be a fantastic chopper. But the job you did creating it was awesome to watch.
Not offended...I don't mind blunt criticism. I am good at some stuff but I am eager to learn more...I will check out some videos...thanks for your input

For someone who isnt into the really detailed fine details and dimensions of a race ax, damn you showed some skill putting this together.
Really, really nice axe.

OK Mr. Time for you to learn safety rules on chopping and work on you technique. It hurts to watch. But nice sharpening.

@@ThakIronworks No worries bro. Im sorry of i came of as an asshole.. just seeing the axe glance like that made me worried for your toes man!
