The Birth Of A Tool. Part I. Axe Making (by Northmen)

- This is a short documentary movie that shows the whole process of how Northmen tools are being hand crafted.
"It is a tragedy of the first magnitude that millions of people have ceased to use their hands as hands. Nature has bestowed upon us this great gift which is our hands. If the craze for machinery methods continues, it is highly likely that a time will come when we shall be so incapacitated and weak that we shall begin to curse ourselves for having forgotten the use of the living machines given to us by God."
Mahathma Ghandi

Thank you for your service.
Your home, forge, your shop... I couldn't be more jealous! Your living my life man!!!!
For me, this is the manliest video on internet!
It never ceases to amaze me...how do videos like this get dislikes? True craftsmanship...thanks for sharing.
FINALLY somebody who makes an axe handle with the grain oriented in the proper direction!! Beautiful piece of work. Now I want to make one myself.
Your videos are better than 99% of hollywood movies that are churned out every year.
I love your videos! Been watching them for 10 years now.. wow, time flies yet stand still. All at the same time! Thank you for keeping me sane!
Totally cool. Skilled in different trades;metalworking(blacksmithing), woodworking, and leather working. Hats off.
Have watched this about 20 times over the years and the only way to describe it is a beautiful edit with outstanding craftsmanship
Thank you for a fantastic video..True craftsmanship. I use Northmen videos for relaxing meditation
After 5 years since I came across to this video, I've found it again. The first time I watched it, I did not know what career to study and by the end I was convinced to study Industrial design (I don't know why I linked design whit this video at that time) and now five years later Im at one year of finishing my career. So thanks a lot!
Heeey could you be studying InDes in Zaragoza bro?
You´re never finished. You learn new things every day.
I just came back after a handful of years and realized this was my inspiration to start a small woodshop! 4 years strong at realizing my dream.
One of the most beautiful videos I've watched!
Watched this video years ago… I go back to it again and again whenever I need a reset.
I'm absolutely speechless. The quality of this video is amazing.
Had to search for a few minutes but i found this video again as i do ever so often. This video lives in my head rent free, forever.
Awesome. Snowboard all morning and then work in the shop well into the evening...winning!
wow, I don't know why this videos make me feel so relaxed, so zen, so peaceful...
Absolutely majestic! Just pure ecstasy!
The process is beyond beauty; this craftsmanship is spiritual. I must come back to this every three months or so, and I am both enamored to see the product of true craft and saddened I have none.
.. In another time..
I for one would never underestimate the importance of a good hand-axe/hatchet when in the wilderness. Something so many ppl view as a household implement has saved my ass on more than one occasion. That thing is a beauty! Sending love from the bayous of Louisiana! Love the music too
Absolutely stunning!
This was simply beautiful. Thank you.
You are a true artist. It is inspiring to watch you work! Thank you for sharing this with us. Truly beautiful.
I love this video. I find it so relaxing to watch. The music compliments it perfectly and it makes me want to go into my shop and create something.
Beautiful! I'm incredibly impressed!
Your videos introduced me to foreign fields!!! Years later and I still remember the first time listening to this! It's almost like I get transported to a beautiful snowtop ped alpine haven.
One thing I always appreciate with your videos is how well the music matches with the video
The satisfaction of watching this video from beginning to end
This is one of my favorite videos on UA-cam.
Stunning craftsmanship and beautiful videos!
fantastic great job ! i like to work with metal and wood in the old ways. you have my respect.
Another amazing piece of functional art. Thank you for sharing this with us.
A most beautiful process and a beautiful end product... could bring a tear to your eye!
beautiful song, beautiful video, beautiful skill.. i love it...
This is Real Art.
Thanks for showing me this Amazing Art.
That axe is a thing of beauty, the work of a true artisan. It's inspiring to know this kind of craftsmanship is still out there.
Just gives me another reason to watch it again. I think the music works well. I love when you pull the blade back from polishing it and it edge looks like it's encased in glass. What you do is an art form of functional beauty.
For the crew of Neeman Tools: I work with production of advertising films and I am a connoisseur of cutlery. Honestly, the series "The Birth of a Tool" are the best movies I saw on the topic. Besides adding value to the art of ancient technique, adds value to the end product Neeman Tools. Very inspiring!
Exceptionally well done in every respect. It restores my faith in humanity that such skills are not entirely lost among us, that the true craftsmanship of my youth still exists, and especially that such adept young people of a generation or more behind mine are the master practitioners of the fine old arts, and willing to share their skills with others. Carry on smartly. Today's culture is starved for true steersmen, the 'real' instead of 'virtual', for quality instead of 'good-enough', and for the tangible touch of human hands, minds and hearts, rather than the cold, valueless, disposability of machines.
Thank you so much. Somethings work better without words. Love it.
The best video of a kind! Tears on my eyes .... it's the best gift ever! Made by own hands!
This is the most satisfying video I've ever watched on UA-cam. Your workshop is utopian!
Only if you have the skills to use it
