Forging wrought iron medieval AXE.

[@chesterfield7770]

Every time you forge weld i see a miracle ! Thank you .

[@martinhazell3147]

Another excellent video !! Really good to see all the handwork, no power tools, in the making of this gorgeous axe !

[@TalRohan]

I like very much that you put iron spacers between the different orientations of wrought iron, it looks great but also shows an exceptional understanding of the mmaterials you are using

[@officinaferraria]

These spacers are made of medium C steel. I put it for better forge welding of wrought iron.

Incredible! Very cool!!!

[@martatomaszczyk4131]

Perfect, as always 🔥

[@richardcook555]

I'm impressed as always.

[@jeanladoire4141]

Seeing how you can hammer upset the iron rod without it splitting shows how well made this iron is

[@officinaferraria]

the most important thing during forging wrought iron is to avoid low temperature. If delaminations are visible in wrought iron before forging it is good to forge weld it

[@jeanladoire4141]

@@officinaferraria thanks for the advice, i have a tendency to always pretty much forge at welding temperatures for damascus and folded steel, and constantly weld the steel onto itself. But of course that means working slower and using more coal (also reducing atmosphere in the forge), do you have any advice to speed up the process?

[@officinaferraria]

@@jeanladoire4141 if forge weld is made properly, later on it is no need to forge it in welding temperature but you have be careful when you hammering parallel to the welds (sometimes can delaminate)

[@jeanladoire4141]

@@officinaferraria Allright, thanks for the advice 👍🙏

Jak zawsze. Fantastyczna robota!

Hello Maciej! Very nice axe that you made here! You are really amazing at what you can do with some pieces of wrought iron, some carbon steel and hammers!

[@mikereibold8379]

It fascinates me how much thicker the front of the eye is on these axes. I would have imagined that they would be thinner near the front of the eye to preserve metal seeing how labour intensive it was to produce. Then again, I'm not much of a knowledgeable smith yet. Always nice to see your videos of your work though!

Tolle Arbeit,ich finde deine arbeiten richtig gut.Bin selbst Hobbyschmied.Mache aber überwiegend Messer.Gruss aus dem Saarland

👌 Jak zwykle. Chapeau bas.

[@roberthayes9615]

Great video! What material are you using for the liners/spacers in the iron to iron welds?

[@officinaferraria]

Medium C steel, 0.5%C.

Where do you get the wrought iron from?

[@officinaferraria]

I collect it on the scrap yards, in Poland there is still planty of it.

[@user-jr2ue9nu6y]

I wanted a bit of advice so I have a Chromium Combination spanner. And a piece of Leaf spring steel. Which is likely SAE 5160. Can I forge weld these two together to make an axe? The Spanner is going to be the handle.

[@officinaferraria]

Chromium steel is very hard to forge-weld in the oxygen atmosphere.

[@user-jr2ue9nu6y]

@@officinaferraria Damn....I need more material for the head. Not sure what to do

[@user-jr2ue9nu6y]

How did you grow a third hand? 🤣
