This is how I forged a large wrench into a tomahawk

Not going to lie, that started out looking HILARIOUSLY rough, but with a lot of clever grinding and it came out looking great, I want one.

Make one. I plan on attempting to.

I totally agree, how can I buy one off you, ? I have a rail rail road nail hammer I use for body work , I love it

Pretty fkn cool right there make me want to start blacksmithing! Good job on that one bro 👍🏽

[@chosenundead4610]

this has to be the coolest tool transformation ever! I just found your channel and I love it! you're an extremely talented and creative person sir.

[@MetalJuggler]

Didnt even know it was possible to smelt and reforge tools like this after all treatments and such to make them the finished tool. Badass stuff man

[@keirantalent]

Beautiful tool, awesome work!

I'm going to need you to calm down sir.

[@hammermantbg]

dude, i followed the steps in your tutorial but now i am pregnant... what went wrong?.....I am a guy.... so help maybe?

[@forgedalaska27]

Wrong type of hammer XD

[@sinbread526]

Now, I believe the correct thing to do is get a railroad spike and forge some tools to perform an abortion.

[@hammermantbg]

I don't think my mother would allow an abortion.... we are thinking about a shotgun wedding i will forge the rings.

[@Stranger8770-r7x]

Hello

[@allrightyallmighty]

Okay I'm impressed! leaf springs, files...now it's time to start collecting old wrenches.

[@TonchyShultz]

Looking very good and useful in many way Hiking, Hunting, Camping ..! My grandpa was blacksmith long time before and he made so many things with power of muscle and hammer..! Thx. for sharing!

[@hunterthibodeau7337]

I love this! your work is improving every time! I remember being your first subscriber! that was a sweet knife then and now a better axe!

[@MaxxsHandle]

you stabilize your anvil more, you will lose less energy, firmly attach it to that frame and. stack up mass on it, again making sure it cant shift around. also, a larger hammer means you get more out of each strike. feel free to disregard this entirely, I'm just a hobbyist, and you do good work in the end. I just thought i would try to helo make it a bit easier less strikes, less possibility for mistakes

[@MaxxsHandle]

+Miller Knives No need for thanks. See if it helps first. You've actually given me an idea on how to make an anvil, as opposed to this large rock I found. I've been watching since that wood handled kiridachi video, so I'll be on the lookout! good luck my friend!

[@gunnarreiffenstein2235]

dont grind the sharp end of an object against the direction of the belt, cos if you are unlucky and the belt is cut, you can get pretty hurt.

[@gunnarreiffenstein2235]

but great job

[@mzmadmike]

Incorrect. That is exactly how one grinds blades. The fear you have is not born out in operation. Every book on blade making shows this, and I've been doing it for 33 years.

[@Ih8stupidhumans]

+Mike Williamson Yet, when you strop a blade, it is done just that way. I've also seen makers grind with the belt traveling away from the edge. Cutco does this, for one.

[@douglaswilliams99]

Due to the shape of the handle the weapon is hard to control, but over all , It will kill. Lol thanks for the share.

[@ttoobbyywweerrhhuunn]

Cool project. So many people have asked me to make them one of these after seeing this vid . It's tempting!

[@Ground_Dirty]

I love these simple builds where you make an axe or a knife outta railway spikes and wrenches.

[@kentmrinfret816]

I want one of those for throwing. You make it look easy! I'm saving this video for future use, but I doubt it will look as good as yours😞

[@ecape8306]

i love your videos becuase you dont cut anything off and make with the WHOLE thing!!! (unlike other youtubers)

[@F4c2a]

The most no-bullshit-just-making-a-tomahawk video ever. Liked just for the zero bullshit factor. P.S. Funny feeling, when you're watching someone do this and go "ooh neat" and then realize that all the tools he is using are an engineering marvel you can't even begin to comprehend.

[@artisansportsman8950]

[@mynameisandycook1]

This is pretty awesome! For some reason when it is sped up like this, it looks like 75% of your hammer strikes aren't hitting the wrench. haha!

Man I love your creations, if I had a workshop I would love to make knives too (even copying some of yours), but as a student in a small city of Austria I don't have the tools and the needed space. So I watch your videos and get satisfied even by looking at them. Continue your work!

[@sir_snipperii2992]

Any one else notice he hit the table more then he hit the Tomahawk?

[@rentacowisgoogle]

you bounce the hammer off the anvil to not get tired as quickly and hit the work piece harder

[@rentacowisgoogle]

Were you looking for reddit and ended up on youtube or something?

[@mzmadmike]

You don't care how to do it the right way? Well, that says a lot.

[@mzmadmike]

Sisteelin: Yeah, I saw a LOT of missed strikes. He did get a good finished product, but there are less intensive ways to do it. He also needed a lot of strikes to upset the end.

[@modsquad8u]

Maori_Inigma Was it missed or just the frame rate of the camera...that's the likely culprit.

[@LoremasterRelomi]

@ 1:37 that's a pretty neat belt sander, did you make it? (if not what are the specs, brand, etc. thanks!)

[@AlexanderLennox]

outstanding piece of work

[@bethanywallace3338]

I love how you did that it was cool!

[@damiaan7021]

A noob here, would you need to harden the steel again or can you leave it the way you bought it? I believe a wrench is already quite hard and probably heat treated, but I noticed you heated the nearly finished product and quenched it in something, I assume water since there were no flames. I am thinking of copying this and seeing how close I can get, would love this bit of info, I know how to do everything else shown here but I want a usable product in the end :D

[@damiaan7021]

Miller Knives thanks, will first try this with smaller wrenches until I spend money on a big one, haha.

[@damiaan7021]

to sum it up for myself, you re-heat treat the wrench after everytime you hammer on it?

[@damiaan7021]

Miller Knives okay, thanks! I'm all hyped to get to work tomorrow, hahaha

[@griffinstahura8353]

+Miller Knives you should make a spear head from a wrench

[@kadenkaps7764]

you would need to harden it again because after forging the metal becomes softer and the previous heat treat of the wrench is ruined

[@stuarthill1581]

That came out awesome. I have to ask if you forge welded a piece on the edged side. Almost looks like an addition. Beautiful work.

[@DNSforge]

He had to have that’s what I came here to ask as well.

[@f.joaquinrevilla]

wich size of wrench did you use for this proect. a do you know the closest one in metric?

[@IamVone]

its about a 41mm wrench

[@chrisa6082]

41.562mm

[@paulhatch7759]

was additional material added for the flat side ?

[@phogelbice]

looks like he welded on material, makes it useless as an axe.

[@kristic6345]

+phogelbice nope, don't think so. the end of the wrench was drawn out and forged, i.e. hammered, flat...

[@michiganemt28]

"Hi mate. I just folded it on to its self and forge welded it" . This is the reply he left on another comment

[@mzmadmike]

How do you figure? I've got a 1000 year old Viking axe here. Guess how the edge was put on? It was forge welded. That was the standard way of making one before about 1900 when steel (vs iron) became available in large quantities.
