Forging a bearded viking axe

[@HiltsyAdventure]

subbed, just for the fact that you did most of the shaping in the forge and not the grinder :)

[@heydenlabelle513]

I ordered a 3 lb rounding hammer from your etsy shop and its my favorite smithing hammer. Great job.

[@sirchristopher1684]

Amazing job as a historic blacksmith tradesmen of over ten years I love this video! Lovely work well done! Great job laying out the steps!

[@AaronPowellvox]

I gotta axe you a question? HOW ARE YOU SUCH A BAD ASS? Great work bro.

[@richardrivera1913]

Very well Put, you are axing for trouble.

[@torbjornahman]

Nicely done!

[@rovtarforge4004]

Torbjörn Åhman Thank you! Nice to hear that from another craftsman.

[@chrissoto7187]

I have a question do you guys know what steel lawnmower blades are made of and can I forge weld it to leaf spring?

[@BlitzOBitch]

yep nice

[@javanbybee4822]

@@chrissoto7187 breh, use google.

[@Mr.56Goldtop]

Fantastic! Marvelous skills to have! OK, time to go out a Viking to find some Saxons!!

[@hughlink3122]

You are one of the best I have seen on ax making, very good

[@matthewscanlan4387]

Nicely done. First time ive seen thos style of forging a bit, ive only used a hardenable steel and welded it to the head. Gonna have to give this a go

[@dirkd340]

It would be an honor to add this to the my bug out bag

[@lovejcdc]

That Sir is a great looking axe. I think you did a great job and one heckuva blacksmith

[@caccomacaco]

Hi, awesome job. I was wondering, how many hour took you to craft an axe like this? Thanks!

[@lewerim]

Man, I love to watch a forging video where the Smith really knows how to move metal. Well done...

[@ChacoOutdoorsman]

Amazing!! I forged my first hatched yestarday from 5160

[@zacbailey8249]

I ordered a bowl adze from from your Etsy shop. I can't wait to get it. You seem quite skilled, so I'm sure it'll be a great tool. Excellent video too, wish you would make more.

[@nightwalker5278]

Incredible skill and talent. That really is one amazing axe. Thanks for sharing.

[@mariosarajcic8094]

[@thevikingoli8847]

Respect, the gods of Valhalla would be proud of you. Damn your a good blacksmith 🤘🤘😎😎🇧🇪🇧🇪

[@cabbldr]

Just ordered one of your hatchets!! Can’t wait to get it

[@LightPresident95148]

Although theory and practice are two different worlds, I can now say to you reasonably, that I know how to make a Viking beard axe 💪😊👌

[@tubanoyoutube2802]

Awesome. I would like to purchase one hehehehe how can I do it? Greetings from Brazil

[@rovtarforge4004]

You can contact me through my etsy store and I can get it done.

[@leonboss8147]

do you still have your power hammer ? Don't mark over the egde of the anvil cold steel. One day you will blunt them or do a hugde chip. Btw.Nice axe. One more thing.....i can see anvil in the back what brand it is ? How much it weight and why you are not forging on it ?

[@rovtarforge4004]

yes, I do still have the powerhammer, I will do more videos with it in the future. Don't worry about the edges, they are welded on with hard facing rods, they do wear with time but it is a really convenient way to mark material and I can always repair them. the anvil in the back is one I made myself and I only use it for finer stuff and more accurate work since it has the flatter face. thank you for commenting

[@leonboss8147]

Ok I understand :) Keep a good work !

[@jessewellsproductions3979]

Dang dude! Great job!

[@usmcretired2112]

Very nice to watch the craftsmanship you put in this art. I try and learn something new every day.

[@Mistraker]

That's a nice looking axe. You should be proud of this.

[@davidwright4361]

I ordered a rounding hammer from you yesterday and thought i would check out some of your videos and i am glad i did. You do awesome work! Cant wait to get my hammer! Thanks!

[@isorokudono]

Where did you find enough Vikings to make it?

[@Jetmech01]

Absolutely awesome, take my money! 💵💵💰💰

[@vincentrosa9631]

[@sternum16]

[@HikeordieTV]

Fantastic work. True art.

[@-grizzly-7862]

hiya really liked the video im considering starting this as a hobby where did u learn how to and can u recommend any good books or sites etc that are starter friendly mainly im wanting to look at making axes and knives saves buying them any advice would be much appreciated by anyone cheers

[@bluefeather5820]

I like that, its very unique and awesome.

[@yourmotherandthesandpeople2298]

What makes it a viking axe exactly? If you're not sea raiding with it then it's not viking.

[@wesley7910]

Good video and axe! Just as a little constructive criticism try to use better lighting in your clips!

[@18IMAMGODINA]

I would dare to say that it is hard for him to keep the lighting correct because when you have bright things going on , the camera lowers the exposure and automatically gets darker , sort of like when you look at something bright and close your eye lids so that you can see , not to mention that camera cannot show how hot the steel actually is because it always seems colder then it actually is , for example when in reality you heat something to yellow hot , it will show like it is red hot

[@bujidarnikolov5396]

I learned alot today im young and i dont own a forge buy im spending money for one .also in wondering what is that pounder u put on the hot metal?

[@wardvandamme7929]

Is it necessary to harden the blade in oil? Or can that just be done in water too?

[@rovtarforge4004]

Ward Van Damme It can be done both ways, it just depends on the steel

[@Paskanakki-Jack]

Hands down the coolest video of axe making and what a gorgeus axe too! I could watch this over and over again

[@Grease7]

Excellent video brother. Where can I find steel of thickness used in this video?

[@tinman7159]

Well done , good old skool ethic in the hands...

[@lenblacksmith8559]

Very nice, when are you going to do some more video's Bine.?????

[@Robinhoel75]

WOW... Very good craftsmanship. Nice to see someone forging without using powertools, good job. Good layout on the different steps. I love it. A true work of art..

[@sethstanbury6126]

True craftsmanship!

[@Invictus40k]

What kinda quench oil do you use

[@sterlingdelong9008]

U can use motor oil or canola oil or vegetable oil

[@Huwbacca]

gorgeous, would you know of a diagram at the stage where you are taking the steel to half-width-ish before folding it to make the eye?

[@Rodrigo-sg7xm]

Muito legal 👍. Eu fiz uma também. Fico muito bom. Parabéns pelo seu trabalho 👏👏👏👏

[@joseivaltolaurentino2812]

O que você usou para unir essas duas pecas? Obrigado e boa noite!

[@stanleyjaxen8759]

wow great i didnt know you could weld the entire blade on like that

[@LinusGustafsson]

This was some impressive forging! Class.🙂

[@Trigene1004]

da weiß jemand genau was er tut...geil 😌

[@relic6.339]

What type of steel did you use for the axe? Looks like 1/2" x 1" (12mm x 25mm) stock?

[@hendrikerben4141]

Feuer verschweißt, eine super gute Arbeit

[@aceystar1478]

Can you tell me the dimensions of the starting pieces. When i have enough experience I'd like to make one and I'm planning on using an old bush hog blade for the blade end

[@rovtarforge4004]

The head part is 25x10 bar

[@imdo301]

Forging is the real deal! Excellent work.

[@minnesotapetecampbell6920]

Very nice! Question what size stock did u start with?

[@ironwoodreviews8604]

What oil would you suggest for hardening?

[@gabrielmadoz6697]

Espectacular !!!

[@biggrimm7505]

Beautiful craftsmanship what do you charge for an axehead???

[@alechornedeagle7372]

Finally a good video where they forged by hand not with a power hammer

[@Grizl3yB3ar]

I definitely wanna try forging my own axes. Any pointers how to get started? Never forged in my life.

[@rovtarforge4004]

Best if you start with blacksmithing basics and move to axes later on.

[@jeremye21]

How big was that starting stock? It looks really small on video

[@MrRyu1er]

Beautiful!

[@WaerlogaBM]

does anybody know where to find good decent sized anvils in the uk?

[@gilbertomelo1324]

Um machado fantástico. Parabéns

[@fernandojimenez2922]

Un trabajo muy bueno te felicito desde España

[@14USMA]

I'm really curious why the offsets for the eye were on opposite sides?

[@ВоваБугулов-й4с]

Кто такие викинги?

[@geraldinehagar6957]

Nicely done.

[@dirkd340]

Do you foresee any more of these for sale in the near future??

[@bradymcphail9690]
