Watch as I build a hand forged bearded belt axe using only hand tools. This Bearded Axe is a functional tool that will last for generations.
From hand forging, heat treating and sharpening the axe head to shaping and fitting the wooden handle, turning a piece of steel and single piece of wood into a razor sharp axe perfect for camping is such a satisfying accomplishment - Enjoy! - Розваги
The Essential Craftsman lead me here.
This is one of the few production blacksmithing channels I am subbed to that is more blacksmithing than machine shop. I wish you guys would post more. Your videos and personalities are fantastic. Edit: I am excited to see you joining the Makers Mob, but so many of the channels I really loved to follow also joined, and stopped producing videos.
I love it when you work the shaft.
Simply divine, you're a true craftsman Liam.
Good to see you back.
👌 Great filming and perfect audio - oh, and stunning craftsmanship as always....
Wow, that is a beautiful axe. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful axe! Looks like a great little carpentry / camp / everyday carry axe... good work brother, keep it up!
I love the bearded axe look it's on the to get list for axe/tool/functional art
Love the new format of your videos. I'm amazed with the ease at which you make the handles. Beautiful pairr of axes.
This video reminded me of when liam and Chad were in the shack with the press
Absolutely beautiful axes! Thanks for sharing even these shots from your class.
Love the synchronicity between you and your co worker, guess no words are needed, when I nod my head you hit it....
History at work, wonderful to see how it was done long ago and how the tradition continues. Well done Young Master!
Finally a new video. I've been waiting. Either way I'm glad to see an upload.
Your axes are beautiful and evil at the same time I have always enjoyed your style keep going bud they are second to none.
I subscribed to makers mob and really like it. It’s more than a bargain. Thank you for putting this together.
Buckin' Billy Ray sent me here. Beautiful work and beautiful farm axe!
Always an honor watching a true craftsman. Beautiful work.
A beautiful creation
that was the scariest flatter i have ever seen!!
Welcome back . hope you will continue
An intresting model my father was made this a long time ago,nice work!!!
Welcom back pro... Amazing axe
Wow. The craftsmanship is impressive.
Beautifully crafted axe, sir.
Lovely, like to see it being used.
Fair to say your video production game took a step up... dang!
Very nice Job!👍🏻
Works of art!
Simply amazing work. Hoping to own one someday. Truly no steps skipped, even soaking the heads. Some people say it’s unnecessary, but if it’s not done then the most important wood to be stabilized (in the eye) is left untreated! So impressive to see the attention to detail here
Nice control with the drawknife, you didn’t keep going, knowing that the cut would follow deep into the grain
One of these days I will have the money for one of these works of ART!
Good looking axes. Hopping to be able to buy one soon.
Incredible man
Very nice work.
You are truly an inspiration, U live your work and when I saw a video of you I was really impressed but now with that cross axe I’m truly shocked, nice job
Amazing craftmanship,for as long as man can live on this earth no machine or robot will ever be able to produce such a masterpiece.
Awesome Axe !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey man. Thanks for the video. I will own one of your axes one day.
Nice to see it hand struck nice job thanks
Very nice sir i hope to eventually make my way into forging axes
This is art
Those are gorgeous thin blades.
That’s fantastic looking axe that’s a real axe.
Nice video wonderful work
I love watching Liam! But a part of me dies, knowing i will never be able to afford a Hoffman axe.. one of his camp axes was on ebay and it's already over $600 and the bid doesn't end for another day or so. It would be a dream come true to swing and work with a Hoffman axe. They are works of art. Every one of them.
Love Your videos wish you still made them
Welcome back to YT Liam. It's been awhile. Cheers mate!
beautiful
long time no see, welcome back!!
your back we can see a blacksmith get busy
Outstanding
I need an axe like this in my life
Its kind of hard to tell exactly what shape your center punch is but you should try grinding the point of your center punch to a square or triangle. The advantage is that when you're metal is hot you can see your punch mark better! Pro tip
Wish you had more videos coming, but I get it you have a company to run. It’s cool how many of the tools from the old shop are still there! Nice watching you and Chad using hammers only! Respect you two! Such a fine product. Hope to own one of your axes someday. Cheers!
Really nice keep it
Marvelous! Both the process and the product
I would be proud to have forearms like that
The axes are great. Definitely show a lot of detail in your work. And feel free to send me that anvil anytime. Be happy to take it off your hands for you. Lol
great to see Chad again
To be this young and talented and so committed to a craft and not afraid of hard work is very inspiring, great job...
dam would love one
Lovely
DAMN THAT IS THE BIGGIST BELT SANDER IVE EVER SEEN HOLY HELL
Look up Fireball Tools GoKart Sander.
It's no 2x72
Dear Liam, thanks for presenting your method of axe making. It looks controlled and precise, something that I am yet to learn. The end result looks superb. The chunks of steel you started with look like my source of toughened steel - fork lift tines which is 4140. Is that what yours are? Cheers.
Hi Liam ,What steel are you using for the axes ? Thanks awesome work
Popeye forearms!!! True craftsmanship my friend
I’ll take one of those beauties! Happy to see Chad. Don’t know how old video is though
Handle part seems to be in the new shop at least
Chad!
Looks exactly like the council tool craft carver.
Very nice, If I had a chance I want to buy it
hey Liam
you should start producing Draw knifes aswell
I bet you could make some awesomenessss ones!! all the best
Yes indeed! Draw knives, plane irons and maybe even chisels! You've got the equipment now!
Therapist: Buff nerd doesnt exist, he can't hurt you.
Buff nerd:
(That was just a meme, theres nothing wrong with being a nerd, and, this is some great craftsmanship, so, keep up the good work!)
@ 1:07 were you using hoof nippers as tongs or just tongs that look like them at a quick glance?
"Oh lay ye hammer down".
Awesome axes and so nice to see how axes would have been made with a Blacksmith and apprentice. Have either of you thought about entering a local strong man competition? Your arms are like tree trunks!!!!! LOL
Nice axe/hatchet. To bad the grain of the wood is not as good. It will work but it’s not at the peak. It is nice to see NC back in the saddle again
Sehr gute Arbeit. Frage zu 12:30 feilen nach dem Härten...
Not a smith or anything, so sorry if this is a dumb question...
But when you put the sacrificial plate over your anvil to protect it, you have to keep adjusting it. Why not make a piece with the edges bent around the side of the anvil so it doesn’t move around, but is easily removed/placed?
The axes themselves remind me of my father's "hacho" (oversize ax w/a short handle used by miners inside the mines to cut the woods w/which the lay the tunnels (passages inside the mine) a heavy oversized ax...has to be heavy for inside the mine they lack the space to swing it so it has to weight more than a normal ax....my father was a coal/iron miner in NW 'ern Spain many moons ago ....dead.
What is your steel of choice for the billet?
What brand of hand files do you prefer?
Dude has massive forearms
Was that a water quench? Was it tempered? How do you heat treat 4140?
Have you considered offering your own draw knives??
Hey how much is your forge press and what website can I go to to order me one
Are you still planning on selling the drifts??
What size stock and type of steel are you using?
Always start closest to you and work your way back with a draw knife. Many years of bow building experience.
Tom L lol
Quick question, why don't you use a Power hammer? instead of a second person. You could hook up a short activation cycle with a raspberry pie computer connected to a mic and make it voice activate to hammer at an indicated sound (s).
what kind of steel did you use for the axe?
Ax handled hot cut ;)
Am i right to believe that the metal is high carbon and if yes, where do you purchase it from?
@TechStack Reviews US
I get a thrill when I can punch through 1/4” steel; I can’t imagine what it would feel like to punch such a clean slug through that block of steel!!
Can you do a 2 bladed sward
I really enjoy seeing the blacksmithing craftsmanship brought to these axes.
Any chance you might produce some tomahawks in the future? If so, I have no doubt that they would move fast, given your axe design. Put me on that waiting list if you ever decide to go there.
What steel does he use to make the axes?
Do you make hewing axes?
what kind of steel you are using for this
