How to Forge a Farrier Rasp Tomahawk - Camp Hawk

[@picklesnoutpenobscott3165]

You are a kindred spirit I am an old retired lady, and now I have made bows, I do lathe work, and this year I am learning forging. Much Love, Brother - keep on making!

[@-AT-WALKER]

Hello :) I've watched your videos for literally YEARS now and just wanted to say thank you! Passing on knowledge is one of the greatest things about YT, you sir are very much appreciate around the world!

[@jerrycope8865]

I stumbled across your videos browsing around KZbin. You do nice work. I've been a Farrier/Blacksmith for 26 years. I'll be watching more of them for sure.

[@biggles1024]

That Tomahawk is terrific. The quality of your work improves with every project.

[@closer2theheart684]

Beautiful, elegant and simple design. It looks perfect.

[@patrickjaroch5084]

Well done, Nick. Love your projects . your a great inspiration

[@IIDASHII]

You are getting good at this, man. Nicely done.

[@reneemills-mistretta790]

I like your work, thankQ for sharing another great video. I love tomahawks & Bowies! I like to use railroad spikes, I split in two, forge weld a bit from a rasp for the Bowie knife edge. The cost to produce is as minimal as it gets w/very nice results. Instead of borax I use WD40, that Borax makes a sticky mess in my forge. I hear the dehydrated Borax works better though I haven't tried it. Thanks again. Florida USA 🇺🇸

[@TOGunslinger]

best step by step video of forging I have seen. Keep it up.

[@c1hameline]

Fantastic sir. You've inspired me to give this a shot.

[@iwantcheesypuffs]

This was a modern take on how how to do a tomahawk head with a very traditional handle. The handles at that time were designed to be interchangeable with different tool heads using a tapered handle. This same handle might be used with a froe or adze head. WELL DONE! (including very good description of the process)

[@prepperjonpnw6482]

I have to laugh at the people who actually try to give you advice. They always start with “I’ve been a whatever for a billion years”. And then proceed to tell you how to do what you just did lol. I’m not saying you know “everything” but you seem to definitely know what you’re doing. Great video love all the in focus close up shots. I will probably never have the equipment to replicate what you do but I sure enjoy watching and admiring. Can I purchase a tomahawk from you? Is there a way I can support your channel? Thank you very much for all the awesome videos

[@robertcornelius3514]

I'm glad to see your channel doing so well. Keep up the good work.

[@Ukko73]

Always happy watching your new forging videos, i love the way you make your videos, they are simple and educative. Lack of music is one thing why i like your videos so much and i just enjoy your voice very much. Thank you and keep them coming, i want to learn more and get more inspiration oit of you.

[@Njennings42]

Awesome job, Nick! Much better weld on this one, still not perfect, but definitely better than the last couple. With practice comes experience, and that is evident in watching your videos. You're well on your way!

[@dnngskn62]

Great video and very skilled craftsmanship.

[@gerbenkoelewijn6374]

I love how it looks like it has scales. That hawk looks awesome, sir.

[@davidsteckel7919]

I know this is 6 years old, but thank you very much for doing this video! Outstanding!

[@ryanc5681]

Great work, keep the forging videos knife making and sheaths, coming, all blacksmithing, i love how you go in depth and actually teach as well not just show u make the item, i want to learn

[@BigTimeZergRush]

Haven't seen you channel in a while and just started watching it again. You have been putting up some great videos! keep it up.

[@Page-mm9sq]

Stunning brother....absolutely stunning work.

[@hodagtrapper4167]

You definitely have a gift! Great job and excellent tutorial!

[@romneydodd9227]

Thanks for all the great information and fantastic videos. I really enjoy watching and learning from them. Keep up the strong work.

[@virusinstall9658]

that bit technique is pretty smart. I think I'm going to get into the blacksmith game once I have a yard

[@leandroramirez6879]

As was noted in another post, I like the "dragon scale" look. I enjoyed the video. 👍

[@theluth9046]

Beautiful tomahawk! Seen a lot of knives made out of a rasp, but never a tomahawk! The scale design gives it a great personal touch!

[@justinnystrom2497]

I got your knife making book for Christmas and it’s very helpful and amazing!

[@aaronjackson2780]

Been watching you for years, love what you do! Keep it up!

[@TheOldaz1]

Nice job, weld set nicely, might be time to fire up my forge again, hasn't been used in a while, but I could do with a little camp axe.

[@catyear75]

Beautiful piece ! Absolutely great work!

[@fonwoolridge]

Really nice work! I see you are v. patient - a much needed trait for that type of work! Bravo!

[@smithda13]

Well done on this, always look forward to watching your videos. Good effort 👍

[@alexmoore559]

never fail to impress me mate, love your work.

[@waxnmoon8604]

Just found your channel, I enjoy your easy to follow instructions. Look forward to more forging videos.

[@avalonbear61]

Nicholas why not try making a adze for carving out traditional bowls. Using the same tech that you use with this rasp file tomahawk . Would love to see a video on that. Your skill with forge welding is awesome. You made it look easy. Nice forge by the way. Heating up the metal with a coal hand cranked forge is much more work but fun still.

[@deadgaming9284]

wow you are great you put my blacksmithing skills to shame I'm a jack of all trades master of none kind of guy and I see you forge welding a lot I have a basic Forge set up the one made out of a brake drum with some black Iron piping connected to a hair dryer with wood charcoal and I always have a problem getting the temperature high enough to forge weld do you encourage people to getting into propane or is there another method to get my charcoal Forge to high enough temperature? Thank you

[@drakos2000]

Beautiful Tomahawk you forged! Great job!

[@mikesouthey1657]

Lovely work, as always, Nick!

[@Maniacfusion69]

That tomahawk looked amazing ( new sub!)

[@Vman9484]

Can you make a double-bladed ax head from two farrier's rasps?

[@jimjam6598]

Nice idea.. Try to get people to like the comment so he'll see it.. :)

[@PTMOFF]

Interesting idea. I'd think it would be rather difficult though.

[@PTMOFF]

***** Yeah I see it now. I am going to try it once I get a hold of two farriers rasps. My storage of them has been depleted.

[@keaganallen9199]

the easiest way would be to make the eye by forge welding the two together then fold the rest of the rasp over

[@obh7762]

@@keaganallen9199 actually if you just welded the two rasps together other than in the middle and then drifted the eye out it could work

[@dinzin9027]

Beautiful pieces of work I enjoy these videos.

[@rasnac]

Have you ever tried making a battle axe, much thinner blade with much longer cutting edge and beard on both sides, maybe even with a spike on the other end, like an indo-persian tabarzin? I see lots of videos of tomahawk and viking axes, but I've never seen that sort of mediveal battle axe. It might be an interesting project. for you.

[@paultroiani255]

Think about putting a larger one like that in your etsy store. I would certainly buy one!!!

[@allanlavallee7171]

Nice work. You might want to try hot rasping instead of the grinder to clean things up. Just us the fine side of an old farriers rasp on the steel when it is at red heat - does a nice job.

[@BackyardBowyer]

Thanks for the tip! I never thought of using a farrier's rasp on hot steel, but it makes sense.

[@undertaker72860]

Very good bro I'm from Iraq and I'm a big fan of your videos I learned a lot of your awesome videos and your books 📚 greetings from Iraq ❤

[@LeatherSlim]

Quite Beautiful Tomahawk! Loved the video.

[@christiansteele7386]

Can we just appreciate how this guy did some of the best axe work I’ve ever seen when Bowyer is in the channel name?

[@PandaKnivesRo]

I really like the size of this one! Cool build! :)

[@kyote0683]

beautiful craftsmanship as always

[@TheRedhawke]

Fantastic project, it looks great.

[@ianruff6173]

Great looking tomahawk there!!

[@bcsorensenman]

Beautiful pattern on the finished hawk, thanks for sharing, great vid. Excellent tool making skills man, not bad throwing either.

[@rjrios5430]

nice job Nick!! looks awesome!!

[@bk63083]

Not sure why so many thumb downs, but Nick is very talented. Kudos!

[@stevebuckskinner5482]

Hey Nick I hope all is well with you and yours. Miss seeing your work on KZbin. I know we can get pretty busy at times with other Facts of Life. But just wanted to say I hope you're doing well! God bless!

[@thomasnoack2525]

Nice job Nick !!!

[@artfan101]

very cool. I just recently got into axe throwing, and that one looks like it would be a lot of fun.

[@samfarr1665]

Enjoyed the video, nice hammered toy, good stuff.

[@waden404]

Basic, beautiful and deadly. Love it.

[@BackyardBowyer]

Glad you like it!

Great Job Nick.

[@howardmanuel]

Well done! I am encouraged to try to make one, or two.

[@smartypants5036]

Very nice, well done. I like the finish.

[@joedaddy8044]

Great job buddy! Very understandable process

[@MargoSki1959]

Great video Nick always love the tomahawks!!

[@inthemountainswithmeachum3256]

Good job,nice straight lines on that 1.

[@bobbyventers308]

I really like what you did to it but just my self I like to tinker now with some knives I’m making leaving the hammer marks in to give it extra character. I could only imagine that what you did would be a extra awesome project. 👍🏻👍🏻 enjoyed watching

[@spartan0722]

Dude!!! You are the man! That is a nice tomahawk! I forge knives but I am getting to the point where I want to branch out and make an axe. Thanks for the great video...

[@liammclillyz4705]

I like your work and I am curious what you would charge to make a Cherokee styled tomahawk

[@Mycrazyhands]

Nice work man! He looks like a Norse hawk!

[@Misteradams1]

How do you not have 5 million followers? You are a cool dude. LOVE your videos. Super interesting.

Thank you!

Thank you for the great video. I was thinking of good ways to make a throwing axe for my brother for his birthday and I think I will use this design.

Muito bem ferreiro meus parabéns

[@jb573]

Really enjoy your video's. Maybe you can do a video on how you made your forging tongs. would like to make my own as a starter project just getting into blacksmithing myself

[@PrioritySurvival]

That is an awesome Tomahawk!!!!

[@Joex51x]

you do see at 6:19 there are cracks in the forge weld? be careful using that

[@wingmaster7422]

Nick a little advice if you to see how well when you grind on the side of the steel you will see how the weld will take

[@danbuell492]

Great video as always

[@JohnKrieger]

nick you are a complete badass!!!!! so awesome

[@stephengonzalez2997]

That was very cool! 😁👍

[@dragontattooee]

wow , fantastic work

[@klavakkhazga3996]

very cool. If you make the handle more elliptical instead of round it can help more with the edge alignment

[@therealknifemakersofameric9750]

I love it man outstanding good job

[@saxon215]

Good work mate, keep it up!

[@PatrickLohKamp]

Duuuude you live just up the river from me. I had no idea you were so close. Some day I'll get all your books / maybe get them signed.

[@matfry2310]

looks great my man. keep it 👆

[@jlocke62]

Very nice work; very impressive.

[@NickBeamon21]

request for a video on how you made your rebar tongs, also if you made your forge tell us a bit about it

[@draven3838]

Nice axe , it's good that you added the extra steel for thickness to give it more weight

[@TagmatonDomestikon]

Nick can you please make wooden bows again just like old times? Once in a while would be nice provided you still have the passion for it.

[@judymccormick6344]

Great video! At what temp are you doing the forging? I can't get them to join for anything. I've fluxed, reheated, etc. According to my temp gage I'm around 2M degrees. Do I need to be hotter? Thanks

[@jayfromtexas6718]

You are one talented young man!
