Remaking axe - decorating a cheap axe to Viking inspired axe

[@GarageKnight]

I tried something different this time, but I hope you liked it! Any feedback is welcome. Was the music too loud? Did you miss the narrative from last videos? Pepsi or coke? Too many questions?

[@Unholybutthole]

Hotel? Trivago. Great axe/hatchet btw. Any plans adding some etching to armors?

[@GarageKnight]

Lol good answer. And thank you! I do have plans to decorate my future projects with this technique

[@terencedubay]

Love this! I know what my next project is. Say where did you get the axe from?

[@GarageKnight]

@@terencedubay thank you! It was just a cheap axe from store I bought, like 10 euros

[@geraldschaefer7960]

Nicely done! I took a forging class and made a similar Viking Axe of Damascus twisted steel W5 and 1095. I put a 1095 hardened bit in the edge and flame hardened the entire handle, and wrapped it in leather as well for the grip. It's one of my best homemade projects. Now to go wath the entire 8 seasons of Vikings again!!! LOL

This video deserves way more views

[@dodegraham9512]

Absolutely superb. My ancestors would approve

[@GarageKnight]

Haha thank you!

[@wisdom1298]

That's so lit! Good work dude, god bless you.

[@GarageKnight]

Thank you for your kind words!

[@tombryant5029]

Dude, I'd be unwilling to use it in the field, yet it so deserves to live and be there. Nice work brother.

[@old-horse]

wow...amazing outcome

[@GarageKnight]

Thank you! I've been doing more etching lately, hope to publish the videos soon

[@petermullineux1452]

Utterly brilliant from a beginner maker of Viking axes. I also make do with what I have. I am gong to watch your video over and over an follow your techniques - hope you don't mind! Again - thanks for inspiration from South Africa.

[@GarageKnight]

Awesome, thank you very much!

[@rubenick]

I love this channel, and to see you're from Finland as well like me makes it even better! Amazing skills and videos. Hope to someday be able to make something even half as badass as your stuff!

[@GarageKnight]

Kiitos! Glad to hear you like them, don't be afraid to try yourself, it's a great hobby :)

[@brianphillips1864]

I am planning a weapon decoration project and your video was very inspirational. Thanks.

An exquisite piece there mate. You're a master.

Marvelous

[@strattonlad2137]

Wonderful!

[@thatScoutdog]

Great mod(plus any video where someone uses a angle grinder in the first minute is quality )

[@GarageKnight]

Hah true that, thank you!

[@DaBuild]

NICE WORK! ✌

[@GarageKnight]

Thank you very much!

[@davidmcgahan5328]

First time watching your awesome. I've been making my own axes thanks for the video I get inspired by them.

[@GarageKnight]

Thank you!

[@stankrieger3137]

very cool, love the music a bit loud but gave me inspiration and time set for my build to come, I did subscribe in the hope to follow you in your next adventures

[@GarageKnight]

Thank you very much for your feedback! I'll try to find more relaxing & quiet music next time, I'm using my phone to record so the tool sounds alone might sound boring. And I already have few projects ready and I'll release the videos later, just going to finish two builds, hopefully soon!

[@tannstang]

Wow ! Came out very nice !

[@GarageKnight]

Thank you very much!

[@abandonedchannel7122]

Good dude

[@GarageKnight]

Thank you!

[@abandonedchannel7122]

@@GarageKnight no problem dude

[@Muszkinson]

Does the cutting by grinder in this way over heat the steel? You had to temper it again?

[@bobmoran2007]

GREAT 👌👏👏👏

[@GarageKnight]

Thank you, glad you like it!

[@pavolboda4243]

velmi pekna robota😎

[@GarageKnight]

Thank you!

[@skittle4979]

The only thing I think could be improved is if you adhered the conic wedge to the top plate before putting it in it would have a stronger bond. Other than that it looks amazing, great work man

[@GarageKnight]

Thanks for the feedback, personally I think there's many things to improve but maybe I'll make another some day. Thanks for watching

[@knifethuongnhan9360]

Good job

[@GarageKnight]

Thank you!

[@elvis7880]

Nice work. How can you maintain this look without the metal rusting?

Nagyon szépen köszönöm! I hope I got the translation right :)

[@gs637]

Excellent work! & a GREAT source of inspiration for me, I'm working on a small axe right now. Not sure which masking paint would be the best to use, you said "alkyd"?

[@GarageKnight]

Thank you! Yes be sure to use primer paint, that will stick better and won't come of accidentally

[@gs637]

@@GarageKnight Sounds good, thanks.

[@jamescollins7363]

That's amazing, I'd love it to go wif my collection. How much $$$

[@santosdionma9453]

EXCELENTE!!!!

[@corbinreason6708]

From start to finish how long did making this take?

[@mikemi47]

What did you use for a resist? I’m new to all of this, and just want to make sure I don’t completely wreck my first attempt…..

[@GarageKnight]

Do you mean the paint? It's primer spray paint, that will stick better than normal spray. I've had many failed projects myself so I understand your worry :) You cand try the etching on some junk piece first so it won't matter if something goes wrong

[@ItAintMeBabe99]

Excellent! Where do you get your patterns from ?

[@GarageKnight]

@@ItAintMeBabe99 thank you! I make the patterns myself

I like to have a axe you making. Let me have a price!

[@onewheelup]

wonderful skills you have brother,i need some tips maybe you can help,i bought a light weight Hand-Forged Viking Battle Axe Head from amazon i want to put it on a walking stick or staff,im 6.2 so it needs to be a tall piece of wood,im in texas and we have tons of yaupons so theres millions of shapes and heights,i found one that was ideal and cut it down and put the axe head on it while it was still green and hammered in a round metal piece like you used to hold it on,i got them from amazon too haha but two swings on a tree and it came lose should i have waited till the yaupon was dry im thinking or would maybe oak work better do you know.i do have a yaupon walking stick that ive had for 14 yrs its solid and tough,anyways its just for mainly walking but i would like to cut something small with it at least you know gaaa lee ,any ideas on the wood,the hole in the metal head is pretty small it's not like your axe head that has a slanted hole anyways thanks if you have tips.

[@knowsbetter1]

What kind of paint did you use?

[@GarageKnight]

Primer paint, it sticks better than normal
