Forging a norwegian Carpenters axe (7" Laftebile)

[@erniemathews5085]

It's a treat seeing you use power tools for the grunt work and the hammer work moving metal the old way, and great results.

Awesome, you are the real deal and you create exceptionally beautiful and clear videos! You are one of a kind! Many thanks! ❤️⭐️💫💪🏻👍

[@jakepogg2733]

Excellent work,in every way-observing and interpreting the older work,and the forge-practice itself! Great welding too,in particular that middle skew-weld,just wonderful. The resulting tool is obviously fantastic,clear proof that the technique was interpreted correctly,thanks for documenting the process-a Most excellent and valuable video.

Thanks for sharing your work! Both axe and handle look just right. All the best!

[@jakepogg2733]

P.S. Separate thanks for showing those specialised set-tools for forging the inside of the inner curve,once again,a most competent historic recreation of one of the most important(even iconic) pattern.

A nice piece of work. I am wondering if you sell them, and where you are located.

[@BlacksmithsHeritage]

Thanks, I normally make axes to order but i just got a job working for a large medieval church here in Norway so I can not take orders for a while

[@MASI_forging]

How awesome 😍😍

[@JeffreyHarper-l2i]

What kind of power hammer is that. I have a friend in northern Minnesota in th USA that has a similar hammer.

[@BlacksmithsHeritage]

I am not sure what this hammer is called. there is no markings on it and it has many hand forged parts so i believe it probably was made in a local machine shop about a hundred years ago or so (judging from the fact that there is no welds or castings, all riveted steel plate construction). It had many parts missing so me and a friend built a new clutch and belt system aswell as the anvil and lower die

[@bardgauden8014]

Og velidig fint arbeid!

[@sigurdlorvikhansen]

Smide du utgangsbiten til kroppen eller kuttet du den ut?

[@BlacksmithsHeritage]

nei jeg kutta ut startemnet fra plate, maskinhammeren klarer ikke å smi på så høye emner

[@Kristoferskogsberg]

🔥🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏

[@davealexander9983]

Could I ask, how many hours of work did it take you to make the axe head?

[@BlacksmithsHeritage]

about 8 hrs

[@davealexander9983]

@@BlacksmithsHeritage Thank you for that info. As many others have said, it is a really beautiful piece of work.

[@bardgauden8014]
