Two masters at work! Couldn't ask for a better video! Great work👍

[@davidlansing1870]

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

[@kristofferjrgensen696]

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.

[@matthewmarting3623]

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.

[@stevenlewis6554]

It always a treat to see both of you working together!

[@UseR7O8]

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

[@williamsember1038]

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!

[@Cajerunner]

Torbjorn to the rescue! This is an awesome collaboration! I love how he zoomed over! Great looking axe! Wonderful video Nils ❤🔥🪓

[@milankaderabek472]

Very nice cooperation. Thorbjorn's arrival was super arranged. More videos like this.👍

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 :) /Nils

[@trapper8015]

Two of my favourite blacksmiths forging an beautiful axe together... woud really like to own this axe. I hope I am the lucky one! I am already waiting for your next videos 😊

[@bttmlesspit25]

Sign me up for the axe. Thanks for the video.

[@admiralaido3795]

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?

[@CHIKINBEATZ]

gimme gimme!

[@Lmr6973]

Wonderful piece for sure. Throw my name in the hat please sir.

[@pickletreewoodcraft7858]

I really appreciate the craftsmanship you both share, it’s an ancient art but it’s not antiquated!

[@dejavu666wampas9]

No job I know of is harder with two people. Thanks for showing us your struggles. Makes me feel better about struggling while trying to accomplish something by myself.

[@jimromine5186]

I generally work alone, but you've inspired me to find a blacksmith friend with whom I can work and laugh together. Great video.

[@kalynlambert6889]

My good friend, Michael, was a remarkable forger. I would have shared this with him; but, sadly, he has passed. Thank you both. 🙂

[@antoneriksson4244]

Superkul tävling! Det var du och Torbjörn som fick mig att börja smida

[@bernardflood8289]

Greetings from Ireland. It's great to see two masters at work together.

Great work for the both of you! Love to see my two fav blacksmiths in youtube working together again

[@micoberss5579]

I wish I had such friends that come so quick when I call them

As do I. But I'm the friend they all call. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Using tools to make tools, well done to you both. Beautiful piece, who ever receives that will hopefully utilize it for its intended purpose.

Hadde vært kult å fått denne øksen over grensen til Norge😁 du lager en kjempe bra kanal👍🏻

[@codyo736]

Just recently found your channel after researching some axes I found metal detecting. Started with restoring others’ work and now finding the inspiration from your videos to slowly step into the forging world. Thanks for the great content and keeping the craftsmanship alive! In a world of mass production, it’s extremely refreshing to see you and others do what you do.

[@nickdouma-rh4ox]

15:02 It is absolutely mesmerizing watching tools appear from a block of steel! Thanks to the both of you for sharing your craft.

[@johnjude2685]

My favorite Blacksmith team 💙 You both are lucky to have each other helping Thanks for showing

[@billthompson8953]

It is always great to see the two of you working together. Looks like y'all had fun on this one! Cheers!

[@DTOSESQ]

Great to watch two truly talented craftsmen work together to make something both beautiful and functional.

[@markmartinblacksmith]

The axe turned out great! It's good to see two talented smiths working together and having fun. Thanks for sharing the video.

[@williamcunha9136]

Awesome Video! I enjoyed watching two Masters at their Craft made the beautiful axe and having a great time doing it! Thank you for sharing!

[@robohippy]

I have one long time friend who is a blacksmith. He has a T shirt that says "It's a Polyhammerous thing" Loved it! Me, I am into wood. Metal maybe in another life line....

[@user-tz7xv1vh6q]

Great work again from you both. Thanks a lot

[@cable1230]

Awesome video, great watching you two work together!

[@georgeedmonds72]

I loved watching your process! I'm an amateur blacksmith and can appreciate the skill and effort involved. I especially enjoyed watching the 2 of you work together. Thank you!

[@xRoSkii]

Been watching you for a long time and your homemade power hammer video is what I had seen first. This video really made me laugh out loud with the editing haha. Good work fellas.

[@catey62]

your video came up as a suggestion, and I had to watch as my Grandfather was a blacksmith, as well as a builder, carpenter and farmer, he was a true pioneer here in Australia. loved watching your work, and seeing the finished product.

[@donaldhoffman5519]

Excellent video, thank you for taking the time to share your skills.

[@EDWINWHARAM]

I am still learning a lot of the basics, I am a toolmaker by trade. Enjoy making and fixing things. You and Thorbjorn are respected forge experts by my standards. I enjoy craftsmanship that make it seem so easy. Thank you very much.

[@DarthMeheelos]

Great job, Master! And Thornbjorn’s participation in the work is a separate amazingly positive aspect of the work! Thank you!👍👍👍

[@andrewking7182]

I loved the way you filmed the video of your friend coming to the rescue my wife and I were laughing so much, good luck for the future.😊

[@danielsimonsson2570]

Alltid kul att kolla på dig och Torbjörn när ni jobbar. Hoppas yxan hittar till Värmland!

Very nice hand axe. I’ve been admiring Torbjorn’s work for a number of years. This is the first time I’ve seen Nils Ogren’s work. Will definitely check him out.

[@ace_3656]

Awesome video and really shows the different forging steps. Definitely a fun watch!

[@deathsromath]

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

Super video- thanks for a great demo!

Beautiful piece of work. Amazing. Thank you. 🙂

Such an amazing tool! It is beautiful. The winner will be very lucky to own it!

[@Asgard2208]

I watch all your videos. Enjoyed this. And lovely to see TÅ participating.

[@Rotorhead1651]

As a fan of antique tools, it's refreshing to see someone working in the old methods, making virtually everything by hand, rather than taking a modern tool or leftover bit of material and modifying it with power hammers, saws, and grinders. THIS is blacksmithing. Well done, Lads, very good indeed. Very impressive.

[@patkeefe5834]

Good to see you 2 having fun!

[@matthewdbranson]

I completely understand using the modern technologies like the power hammer for your day-to-day production, but I absolutely love when your videos are 100% done by hand. Amazing work! Something I aspire to!

[@Xlatty]

Very cool process, looks like you guys had some fun too!
