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.

[@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!

[@hoodoo9185]

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

[@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.

[@Evilwetness]

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

[@davidlansing1870]

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

[@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.👍

[@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.

[@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.

[@kalynlambert6889]

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

[@workaholic5318]

Mature adults need to have fun too. Never apologize for loving what you do.

[@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.

[@sindarpeacheyeisacommie8688]

Splendid tool. Finely edged.

[@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....

[@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.

[@odieblock481]

This has been a great channel to find. I go to The American College of the Building Arts (ACBA), which is a school for traditional trades such as blacksmithing. On the other hand, I am a timber framer and have made many friends with my blacksmithing classmates, who recommend me to Torbjorn and your channels. They have been a joy to watch.

[@DarthMeheelos]

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

[@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.

[@olivertaylor3364]

By Hammer and Hand All Arts Do Stand. Thanks so much for sharing. Mesmerising and inspiring. I currently work for a local authority overseeing Children’s Services, within a deprived city in the UK. Due to the terrible things I see and hear everyday, my own mental health has deteriorated to the point that I am currently on an extended break from work to recover. A big part of my recovery has been watching your videos. I am so inspired, I have decided to enrol on a three day beginner’s Smithing course, so thank you. I can’t wait.

[@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.

[@robertoswalt319]

It is great watching two talented craftsmen working together. Thanks for sharing this with us.

[@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.

[@z408rmf]

What a wonderful craftmansship of two skilled blacksmiths! Amazing work!

[@seanflynn2289]

Gotta love some good old fabrication. I always admire the the old school forgers who shape metal into cool projects. Great work.

[@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.😊

[@cable1230]

Awesome video, great watching you two work together!

[@FireCreekForge]

Beautiful craftsmanship!!

[@NineWorldsWorkshop]

Always a treat to see this sort of collaboration!

[@billchesser1475]

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.

[@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.

[@lucas.maestrello]

OMG, it would be such a pleasure have this beautiful piece here in Brazil! Perfect work yours by now, came in here because I already love the work of @torbjornahman and now I'm going to watch and subscribe for your channel! #LetMeHaveThisAxe #FromBrazil #ChooseMePlease #BlacksmithArt

[@markmartinblacksmith]

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

[@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!

[@SeanKozikowski]

It is good to see two smiths working together. I liked seeing the concert of the smith and striker working together. Keep up the good work.

[@billchiasson2019]

That was amazing watching you two work on this axe head! Very cool!

[@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!

[@bernardflood8289]

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

[@kleseus]

It was nice to see how two people work with such joy together to help one another. I am forging since January this year and I dont have people in my peer who share my hobby.

[@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!

[@luke-qo6qz]

That is some fine craftsmanship. I cannot believe that your videos have never popped up in my feed before. You have earned yourself a new subscriber.

[@keesflakes6211]

loved the acting, the driving, the dancing and ofcourse the forging process. Like how the two of you work together and the axe came out stunning, great job!

[@kart649]

The axe with the leather sheath arrived in Marlow, UK today. Really pleased. It is really sharp and has been put in the workshop. Thank you so much Nils.

Happy to hear it arrived safely! You now own a very rare axe :)

[@Scogin]

Always like seeing Torbjörn's videos and now I found a new source of great quality smithing videos.

[@Ordnog]

That was fun to watch - thank you both.

[@torontoknightking2391]

Beautifully done! I have a Tormek grinder also, I put a 10 CBN wheel on it works great, no more dressing the wheel. Thanks for sharing!

[@berhr-gx7bb]

Thats a beautiful axe that you made together. Thanks for the video - always a pleasure to see how things evolve into this fine piece of craftsmanship.

[@felipeherrerias]

Came for TA and stayed for both! Great workmanship and team work...

[@randallporter6841]

The best thing about this video is two friends hanging out and doing what they like doing.

[@russelbutler6704]

Great to watch mates having fun in the shed creating memories.

[@RichardLewis-g7u]

I enjoyed watching you and your friend making your carpenter's ax from scratch. What a talent.

[@buckpence1]

I truly enjoyed watching the forging of such a nice tool. I have not tried anything this in-depth yet. But I have forged a few knives from old springs. This video has inspired me to go make some more. Thanks for sharing.

[@rhotgarr625]

Hello ! i get into forging recently, and, as a complete beginner with almost no tools, i can abslutely relate on the fact that a friend's help is better than anything ! you did a great job together, this axe looks amazing !

[@JPratBo]

Great work again from you both. Thanks a lot

[@ace_3656]

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

[@BaconbuttywithCheese]

You have a very nice collection of axes there. I'm really enjoying your content so far and appreciate the workshop noise instead of overly loud music.

[@ericlysen7577]

An absolutely beautiful tool. I would love to add this to my tool box. You folks are true craftspersons.
