I just found your channel last night, watched you forge a forest axe without any power tools, came back to your channel tonight and subscribed. Great videos, thanks for posting them.

[@Butch_Deezlsteak]

You dont consider a 2x72 belt grinder or a disc grinder a power tool?

[@thomaspoulsen1958]

Härlig bruksyxa. Snyggt jobbat.

[@TheWallowingMadman27]

It was def fun and interesting seeing the process of making an axe. Plus my favorite part is when your kitty’s checking it out xD

Haha! Thank you :)

[@tuviaifrah6111]

Great work! Love the way you handle the metal. How much weight is the axe?

[@Silgoodfeeling]

Super vidéo !! Thanh you

[@user-kp5nj6oj7m]

Very nice. I´m actually swedish by birth. However I have been living in other countries for so long that I don´t know if I can call myself swedish anymore. But your video made me feel at home - seeing the forest in the background. I vilket landskap bor Du i? My best wishes to You.

[@Robbie7441]

Looks like a gransfors, but much nicer 👍🏻

[@adamsz5759]

Beautiful I love it, excellent job !. What are the different types of steel used in its manufacture?

[@richardwiseman2601]

Your axe is great a piece of art would like to get one

[@checopasha8772]

6:01 I didn't know you have a south park tattoo. That looks good

[@FiveSubj3x6]

Beast. Niice 🪓 ⚒ axe

[@luciocarrozzo6738]

Fantastic work Nils. great looking axe. Do you make axes for sale? Would like to order from you

[@markbenoit4187]

Ha you answered my question at the end

[@bluudat1site]

blaklader best pants out there

[@markbenoit4187]

Nicely done, I assume the initial block was mild steel then forge weld a high carbon bit?

[@klemenmarkovec4214]

Top 👍👍👍👍👌👌

[@kaponek5014]

What kind of steel do you use for this one?

[@sunwolf8290]

Hi Nils, wonderful work. How many axes can you forge in a day?

Thanks. Well it depends what you mean. I can forge a few at the same time, but i cant do all the steps in one day. So one day i might forge, the other u grind and heat treat and the final day I make and fit the handle

[@daveficarotta2286]

Dude that forest axe is beautiful would you sell me one ? Love that thick handle also 1:17

[@yopoxikeweapescai9066]

15:00 xdddddd

[@vwmuscle]

Hey Nils how does one go about commissioning a 7-8 lb single bit splitter from you

[@whenddris]

Dijual apa dipakai sendiri Bung? Salam dari indonesia

[@shauncrocker8029]

How many hours did it take to make this ax?

[@alinmarin1124]

Howdy! What country are you from and how much does an ax like this cost?

[@assembly_language3948]

KITTY!!!!!

[@lacedpxrp]

Hey bro what pants around 3 minutes mark?

[@murilorech4243]

Awesome, what kind of steel did you used at the edge?

I think it was ss 2090, a fairly common spring steel here in Sweden

[@alt-swe5503]

Vill du ha något att bita i, så gör en gammal svensk hillebard! Tack för intressanta videos.

Tack! Ska undersöka! har du några exempel?

[@alt-swe5503]

@ Det finns många exempel om du gör en bildsökning på "svensk hillebard" i din favoritsökmotor. Det är större spridning i utföranden än vad jag först trodde. Hoppas du hittar någon inspirerande från dina hemtrakter.

[@florincochintu8691]

What steel are you using for cutting edge?

[@AIDENALMIGHTYY]

In an earlier comment he said ss 2090

[@mercator3609]

😀👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@sjvche7675]

You have the hydraulic press but you don't use it a lot, it seems.

I use it ever day, but my videos are meant to help beginners, and moste beginners does not have a press etc.

[@dejavu666wampas9]

If Nils asks if you want to arm wrestle, run away screaming like a little girl. You know a man is a hard-ass if he has an automatic pounder, but he mostly doesn’t use it.

Haha you are hilarious! You should see my big brother ;)

[@willieandersson-lundqvist199]

Heter din katt Bosse?

[@willieandersson-lundqvist199]

Underbar video förresten! Den blev skitbra

Stämmer bra! Bosse och Kerstin heter mina katter

[@willieandersson-lundqvist199]

​@Hehe gillar när djur har människonamn ;)

[@jthepickle7]

I'm thinking about buying a Helko for $160 - with leather cover and handle. If you would sell me the axe head for $160 - no leather cover and no handle, I would buy your product.

[@moose.knuckle]

Er du norsk?

Det beror på hur du menar.

[@NKG416]

i think your power hammer needs oil
