Small Damascus Bearded Axe, Hatchet from 4 Bicycle parts! #2

Buy Organic Seeds here! www.seedsnow.c... In this second video we will forge weld a style of damascus or pattern welded steel. Now with our initial two billets forged together, that will get turned into a small bearded Viking style carving axe in part three we can get started on forge welding them into a usable mass of steel. I previously used bicycle spokes, lock and the chain to forge weld the two separate billets. A spanner will eventually becomes the bit for the cutting edge. We will look at an alternate method of making the shoulders! After etching in vinegar the pattern turned out great! But that's in part three! Making tools is great and this is why I got into blacksmithing!

Loving the power hammer buddy it looks like it is really saving you some strokes

[@workwithnature]

Am really glad now I put the extra effort into making it. It seems to have a lot of whack to it that I did not expect. Good old 2 hp motor :)

Really enjoying this series = I had QUESTIONS about the first part ;) lol = Coming along nicely

[@lucalaferla6601]

cool video, looking forward to part 3. Also would it be possible for you to set up some lighting.

[@workwithnature]

Thanks for letting me know, will see if I can get something in town in the next few days. The light makes it at times dhard to see alright.

Great hatchet! When you run with it in the jungle don't shout Allah Akbar.

[@workwithnature]

Nope I would not shout god is great in any language with a weapon in my hand and would never try and convince others he she is great either. Every religion has it's few nutters.
