Axe Making | How Axes Are Made in Afghanistan

People in Afghanistan don’t usually use a lot of machinery to make things.
They make a lot of things with there bare hands.

Teamwork. Smith and Striker have clearly worked together for a long time.

Nice work - that guy in blue with the sledge is seriously strong and has very good aim - I hope you pay him well.

[@lifeinafghanistan5099]

Yes it is, thanks for your nice comment🥰

[@envymask1776]

내가 말하고싶은게 이거임... 강철같은 체력과 타점.. 완벽해

[@anachronisticon]

Technically an adze rather than an axe.

[@frankiejones4816]

I would call it a hoe, but it's an adze

[@weicheisen9999]

Great work. And skilled workers. One question, is the smith sitting because ho lost his legs, or is this a hole to sit in ?

[@lifeinafghanistan5099]

Thank you for your presence, no, they are completely healthy, they made a special hole so that their legs don't burn.

[@ahab145]

It is common for smiths all over the world and artisans in general to work Wil sitting, you see it all over Asia, Africa and such. It is mostly in Europe and America that smiths work while standing and even that wasn't always the way it was done, if you look at artwork from antiquity depicting smiths you would often see them working while sitting too. No way is wrong or right, each got their advantages and disadvantages

Maybe Americans will be able to learn this stuff so we don’t have to rely on our enemies to provide provide basic amenities

[@svenvonbremen9107]

Apparently you haven't seen the amount of American blacksmith youtube channels. There is a blacksmith in almost every town in the USA.

on the topic of blacksmithing, does anyone in Afghanistan still make traditional charay? theres an increasing market for them as evidenced by replicas being made in india and other places.

[@lifeinafghanistan5099]

Thank you for your presence, of course there is still a market and blacksmiths have their own market

[@jeffbenson6658]

They are forging and Adz, not an axe. Adz is used to dig or till soil.

[@lifeinafghanistan5099]

Thank you for your presence. This ax is mostly used to chop wood
