Forging a Viking Axe from random junk I’ve had laying around my shop for ages. I take a quick dive into the forge to forge weld some scrap leaf spring to an old axe head, shape the handle from an old ash baseball bat, and finally top it all of with some creatively sourced leather for the handle wrap. This was a fun little project, although it wasn’t as brutally time consuming as some of my other builds, the end result is badass.
I intended for this build to be a little different than my others, instead of retaining a wasteland aesthetic from the components I wanted to really test the potential of these materials by transforming junk into a work of art. I love the final product, not only is it beautiful, but the thing packs a serious punch. Enjoy the fast paced, no BS build video; thanks for watching!

Metal is sort of eternal matter - it can`t be a trash or someone`s treasure - wether it`s Eldorado gold or Viking`s machete. Well unless it`s Metallica.

I'd really love to see him make a video explaining all the steps he does to forge a weapon and why.

[@WizardManWoWo22]

Yes

[@Johnnyreborn]

In my opinion , one of the best jobs done replicating that kind of axe on KZbin , specially because you're not claiming that it's a perfect replica of what a viking axe is supposed to be. Great job man !

[@tamjidtahim3422]

plot twist: no belt were harmed in this video

[@user-ng7fk8rh1i]

[@Gogramat]

Викинги не расклинивали топоры, у них была обратная насадка! Т.е. топорище сходилось на клин и просто вставлялось сверху, тем самым расклинивалось в проушине само при каждом ударе. Ну и я бы сделал топор потолще чуток в области лезвия, имхо. Автору респект, не смотря на все мелкие придирки с моей стороны! :) Так держать! Ждем следующих видео!

[@joehayward4545]

Very impressed. Half my family is Norse Viking. The other half is Cherokee. I was brought up around axes, bows, & spears. Very impressed. It is a nice axe.

[@mikedrop4421]

This is convenient time to upload since I just came across your videos and subbed a few hours ago and I've been binge watching your videos since.

A perfectly working bat and belt went to youtube heaven .

[@lecobra418]

The bat was broken.

That axe is worthy to adorn the halls in Valhalla.

I miss your longer videos.

[@Amekdalaz]

I liked the belts storage idea very useful

[@thecrazyslopoke]

Nice never thought about combine two pieces to make a longer blade.

[@lsmft9576]

Adding wood now? Sky's the limit. Excellent build!

[@garretttanner9788]

It's borax. It acts as a flux and helps the welding process

[@k7l3rworkman97]

This is really cool. Why doesn’t anyone ever put a metal handle on anything but swords?

[@georgemauropoulos2461]

Beautiful

[@KageStelhman]

Nice to see old steel repurposed... and that is a rather vicious hand axe I might add . Subscribed ^.^

[@chrislandry671]

Nice vid Keaton, it was cool to see part of your build in person.

[@FarawayForge]

Thanks man! Yea I'm glad you got to check it out

[@TheKinchaos]

I got a trick for you : take off the plate of your belt grinder to smooth wood. and work with cubi II and trizact gator, best combo on wood for me .

[@WinchesterxNL]

Amazing piece of artistic craftmanship! Although I couldn't stop yelling "Noooo! Wilsooonnn!!" as you made the handle. I really do love the end result. Quick question. The 350 on your oven. That Fahrenheit or Celsius?

[@FarawayForge]

Thank you! 350F for the temper

[@ganumanc7201]

You are actually good in making beautiful weapons, i have one suggestion for you, make a weapon which name is ' trishul ' as pn hindu mythology, its awesome, i want to see you making trishul, please friend 😄

[@JoeR_1]

Overall, your axe WILL KEAL! Nice job man.

[@elijahjohnson215]

Shoutout to all the Danes who broke their axes trying to fond out how to sharpen it. #weremember

[@joshlenz2761]

This kind of thing is a dream build for me, learned a ton from the video and it answered some questions I had too, regarding that specific forge welding trick, with the splitting down the middle. Just one question though, how did you get the eye to stay aligned/straight? I never saw a drift or punch or anything.

[@rkaag99]

First time I saw on KZbin the plasma cutter for material removal! I've been wondering why everyone goes for the cutter/grinder method. Perhaps no plasma in the shop. I wondered if it would work or ruin the hardness, but now I'm eager to try it! Thanks!

[@DetailingJourney]

Of course it ruins the hardness if you cut a hardened steel. But he was cutting the axe before heat treatment so it's ok.

[@vikinggeek352]

I'm a viking and i approve this craft! Skål !!!!!

[@MdSayem-tb6nb]

Keaton Goddard Bro Make a Spiked Mace

[@tunesgarage]

Does it really count as forging since you only forge welded it? Awesome axe tho, love it

[@bearly1395]

What does thermal cycling do for the steel

[@BlackBeastWorkshop]

Gives me an idea of what to do with an old rusty hatchet I got from a swap meet

[@erickwoodard9991]

It will KEEL.........LOL Awesome job man

[@RC_Berserker]

One thing I wanted to see... wasn’t done in this video 😢 the eye on the axe head wasn’t modified! There’s supposed to be a wider and sorter eye. Like an egg 🥚 shape not a sharp raindrop shape. A modern axe has an hourglass shape inside for shimming. A Viking axe is different. The handle and eye are tapered and the head slides over the handle til the taper traps the head. Then the head can be removed by tapping the handle vertically on the ground. Then the head can be used as a knife.

[@Shmuckers]

what does the scratching it after quenching it for?

[@baldovi5927]

for the next one, a bigger and heavier ax

[@bigrev1601]

Love the beard of this ax!

Vikings would be very proud with this. Dual wield 2 of em...poor British Saxons wouldnt stand a chance 🤘

[@yournamehere1935]

Absolutely gorgeous axe. Please please please don't do brass handles like some others who shall go nameless.

[@prophesytheorist5130]

I got the wrong idea when you undid your belt

[@AKAxeMan]

Cool build but that handle looks a bit chunky.

[@iso-abyss3574]

from the belt now we have a axe sir

[@happymonk4206]

Yup, I prefer to wear suspenders too😆. Ok but seriously, that axe looks great.

Pls can you forge the double daggers of solo leveling?

[@kenpachizaraki9155]

What's that powder you use in 1.53?

[@enerc2333]

He asked me how much the gas bill will be, instead of putting an ax on I would oppose to roast a chicken to eat.

[@paitonwood1366]

Idk if he reads comments or someone can tell me whats the white stuff he started putting on the axe starting at 1:38

[@FarawayForge]

I't's borax, acts as a flux to protect the weld

[@robertobautista560]

What's that powder that's put in the hot metal? And the liquid that set the hot axe on fire?

[@FarawayForge]

It's borax, it acts as a flux for the forge weld. The liquid is oil to quench the blade, so the oil is in fact burning, not the axe 👍

[@mrbunda7433]

Would hate to break into this man's house huh

[@nekrossan9048]

Amazing !!!

[@Asbjern_Longfellow]

Good work, man! But what do y'all find so fancy about those mirror-polished blades? XD I like the dark and grim look the steel has right after the quench :D

[@jony0019]

make an assassin's blade pleaseee

[@robbywill726]

what the powder is that u put on forged?

[@robertgrell486]

Nice Axe👍🤘😉

[@FarawayForge]

Thanks brotha 🤙

[@DeathKnight-vv1po]

7:19 oh god I think I got ptsd from that

[@harshavardhans1590]

What's the white powder u added

[@FarawayForge]

It's borax, it acts as a flux for the forge weld

[@orionrma21]

From the start of this project, to a finished weapon, how many hours/ days did you use on making this Viking axe? 🙂

[@FarawayForge]

It took me four days start to finish 👍

[@svn6877]

Dear Faraway Forge , can you craft 'Keris' , I would like to see . Subscribed ! 🙂

[@FarawayForge]

I'll put it on my list, and thanks!
