    What a star studded crew. The axe is wonder. I really like the treatment of the handle. Torbjorn's arrival was terrific.

    Torbjorn wire brushing his anvil when his phone rang is probably the most underrated joke of the century

    My favorite part of blacksmithing is working with a friend. Having a striker and learning how to communicate what and how to do. Its such a fun and giving experience.

    1) I am jealous you get to be friend with Torbjorn. 2) I really respect that you filed the axe profile when you had a huge belt grinder (I would have filed it too) and 3) I think you’re extremely brave to buff an edge with an angle grinder.

    It never ceases to amaze me how blacksmiths turn lumps of metal into the most useful and versatile tools. I love watching such videos.

    Truly delightful to watch the synergy between people forging together!
    I started carpentry with hand tools a few years ago. I never expected to do so much work with axe/hatchet: shaping stool/bench legs, roughing out all sorts of things, splitting wide boards, etc. Even hewing short logs to make benches. My tool is too soft to hold an edge for long and too thick to chop with little effort. I was just thinking how nice it'd be to invest in a quality tool like this one when you said you'd be giving it away. I hope it goes to someone who will get a lifetime of delightful use from it!

    Unfortunatly Nick never answered the call to receive the axe, so I had to pick another winner:
    simon myers
    If I dont hear from him/her I will pick another winner in 7 days
    The giveaway will end 1st September. I will then ask the winner here in the comment section to contact me via email.
    The winner will be selected randomly!
    Good luck :)

      Great video! ive been making small knives and decorative pieces for a while but want to break into axe forging. How well does 1045 hold up durability wise over time? I'd imagine using somethin low carbon for the head and then forge welding 1080 or 1095 for the blade would be longer lasting no?

    Just recently found your channel after researching some axes I found metal detecting.

In a world of mass production, it’s extremely refreshing to see you and others do what you do.
