How to punch and drift an axe eye by hand. Axe making - blacksmithing

[@MoneyCollector]

best channel on youtube despite of new technological advances , and we all know blacksmithing manually will make the axe better than commercial axe

[@JHV166]

Let's see now... Dirty Hands, Dirty Shirt, Outdoor forge, Basic Tools...could this fellow be any more REAL??? I'm watching my childhood all over again... We had a blacksmith in the town I lived in and I hung out there as often as I could cut school.. (Which was pretty often!). Thank you for bringing back some excellent memories! Well Done!

[@Jason_Reynolds]

I can see now the thought and planning that went into building the outdoor forge. Very clever! Everything within reach and a relaxed working pose. You’re a genius Bertram!

[@arthuraugustina3110]

Special thanks to you for your detailed video descriptions! In my opinion the best of the KZbinrs I have seen. They answer all the questions I can think of.

[@stoutoutandaboutwithanorwe300]

Nothing like sitting on my butt, watching someone else doing hard work!! Your bushcrafting is why I initially subscribed, but I am seriously enjoying the blacksmith videos!

[@Walibnzas]

You absolutely have one of the best channels on KZbin. The real deal. 👍 As I finished the video I told my wife you are the hardest working person with the dirtiest hands to prove it and you make everything. I mean that totally as a compliment. 👍 I would like to see a video of you at some point all cleaned up and relaxed having a tea in a chair. Seriously your videos are the absolute best out there. Thanks so much for sharing them. 👍

[@kostriktor1266]

hey hello ! me and gf went out into the woods because few days ago we´ve enjoyed some of your bushcraft-clips. inspired us alot and so we decided to go, we made campfire barbecued some sausages and boiled eggs. was amazing, thanks basically to you... thanks a lot and keep it up !

[@LinLin-r9m]

I love that you are always passionate at work, especially the patience of the details. Learn a lot from your videos and your simple and natural life. The film brings us to enjoy nature and art, it's really beautiful. Thank you! Rune

[@abderrahimfarhat7755]

أجدادي كانوا متميزين في مهنة الحدادة ، لم أكن أعرف قيمة ما يقومون به حتى شاهدت هذا الفنان والمبدع ... رائع .

[@michaelnavarre6611]

Awesome Rune! I find myself going back and rewatching your videos 2 or 3 times. You're the best my friend! Cheers from Northern Michigan U.S!

[@wentzelcoetzer2351]

I look forward to see more of your axe making videos!! Thanks for all the tips on punching and drifting in the video's description. Its really useful information. You are an exceptionally gifted blacksmith.

[@JustinTopp]

Just wanted to say how I love your videos. Keep up the awesome work your a truly skilled craftsman.

[@JakobKaiserCreative]

Lovely as ever! I'm currently working on my first sword after making several kitchen- and outdoor/survival knives and I want to try forging an axe head later this summer. Your videos on making axes are a massive help for me there! Especially because you don't use any power tools, same as I do (except for my blower), which makes your process very similar to what I'm capable of with my current equipment! Thanks for sharing!

[@wagnerbmx96]

You sir put the craftsman in craftsmanship it's crazy to think that everything was made this way a long time ago

[@snuucreations1202]

He makes it look so easy

[@henriquepetters]

The patience of this guy is unreal. Subscribed and waiting for more. Thanks.

[@courtneybudimlija]

Your 1 of my favorite bush crafters I watch to learn and to keep motivation thank You

[@paidaelis]

That's how I picture the Primitive Technology guy after he reaches the Iron Age.

[@SubrosaRose]

He's great but Rune is also great. They both great each in there own way

[@alexzioek9680]

That is simply amazing. Int this deceptivly simple technique: the profoundest of the craft and the ground for artistry on the later part. Wonderful executed by the most minimalistic means.

[@user-vp9ik6ix3d]

Every moment in this video is just amazing. Love from Japan🤩

[@shofarox4037]

And as always Rune it's been a pleasure to see your videos, this time coming back home from working as a dog walker having an stew for eating with a glass of wine. Cheers. Martin from Argentina by the way

[@savedbygodsgrace.9058]

A joy to watch a craftsman at work. .

[@SkepticalZombie]

Your commitment to your craft inspires me.

[@ouchymytoe]

I subbed a while ago and now I've been watching and "liking" all your old videos. I'm not finished yet, but I've already turned on alerts for your channel. That's a pretty rare thing for me to do. I've subscribed to dozens of outdoor channels but this is only the second that has alerts turned on. (The first? Primitive Technology of course!) I love the mix of content ensuring that one type of video never gets too tiresome. I also love the Danish wilderness; it's like nowhere I've ever been.

[@jorgeluisgarcia1006]

Anxiously waiting for the next video, Bertram. Not trying for you to hurry up in any way, just letting you to know I need my dose of "mind relaxing Bertram bushcraft video", that's all. I'm sending you a hug across the Atlantic, my friend!!

[@robertnorrie6327]

Sometimes I feel that you could broach that steel by the power of your will alone! Best channel on KZbin...

[@alejandrolievano5573]

[@Jay-ye1up]

Blacksmithing is so magical

[@tomjeffersonwasright2288]

He is not that big. He doesn't hit the metal that many times. But he gets a lot of results from the blows he strikes. Magic….and great to watch ! ! ! PS Don't miss the comments in the SHOW MORE section. Excellent advice.

[@hikarugo96]

Amazing channel man, i love your videos, its so interesting to watch, i learn a lot, thanks so much for sharing your knowledge with us!

[@pla5865]

Great video !!! As always topchik !!!

[@camouflageoutdoors1482]

Very Nice Hand Made Parts

[@silverstar4289]

An older neighbor showed me two of these he found at the site of a forge that ran in the 1800’s. He is an archeologist but had no idea what they were specifically. Took the to a local blacksmith who educated him

[@TheChase008]

I haven't seen any new videos by you recently. I hope that everything is okay with you. I really enjoy your skills and outdoors camping and hiking. You truly have a viking ness about you and rugged charm. I will say though that someday it would be nice to hear your voice and opinions on things. Anyway , as i said , i hope you are alright and that we'll be seeing you on here again soon. Take care.

[@joelsauer8971]

Really like and enjoy your videos and work. Keep on with it! :D

[@SploxLabs]

Man the sound quality is amazing! i feel like im right there

[@felipecastelo272]

Seus vídeos são incríveis!

[@tonystoops7802]

You made my day, thanks 😀

[@howardman3926]

Your videos are a pleasure

[@gbruceg5138]

Awesome... I told someone I work with about your site. Her family is from Norway. She copied the KZbin site for her father...

[@QuantumMechanic_88]

This is far more difficult than folding a low carbon mild steel around a mandrel , inserting a high carbon cutting edge and forge welding . Your entire axe is high carbon and you differentially quench and temper ? Great video Bertram . Much rain here and the outdoor forge is Flooded . ATB

[@BertramCraftAndWilderness]

Thanks. Yes punching and drifting axes is not necessarily the easy way to do it - on a lot of axe styles is it the hard way to do it. In this case is it mild steel. On all the axes I make do I just heat it up, harden the edge area and let the heat from the rest of the axe run the temper.

[@QuantumMechanic_88]

Thank you for your reply .

[@joeyjoejoejr.shabadu8857]

If you hung it like that it wouldn't cut very well but jeez the blunt damage! Excellent execution again!

[@Horazzio]

You work as amazing!Waiting next video.Greetings by argentina

[@wolf9521]

Great Very good video

[@thomasharnesk8866]

Congrats to the license

[@oliviermalige3279]

Don't you miss your big anvil? Great work, hammer on!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@BertramCraftAndWilderness]

Thanks. No not really - I think a small anvil like the one in the video work very well, always a corner close by easy to reach and very quiet to forge on. I have sold my 139 kilo anvil I use in some of the other videos and don't think I ever will get another big anvil. I just don't feel any need.... Especially now when producing/forging tools isn't my full time job any more.

[@tylerrohn6938]

Awesome video brah

[@alanzoalanzo2616]

very skillful mate !!

[@dashingshaky]

you're very talented

[@oshietemowakaranainandemoi3845]

Good job, very nice

[@clatechilders856]

You make it look easy! Every time I've tried doing this I've ruined my punch😁 How many years have you been Blacksmithing? Thanks for the great videos!

[@esetoroenamoraodelaluna7022]

[@richardbrada1447]

Hello there ! First things first, love your work ! Every video is just the right amount of practical information and soothing work , so good job ! I would like to ask you one thing : how long did it take for you to punch that hole ?

[@mikelndou1839]

my man 🙏

[@tomsawyer1500]

Bonjour Bertram, Où puis-je me procurer tout votre équipement de forgeron? Merci d'avance et continuez vos vidéos 😉👍

[@johnheisenberg6700]

Power/Viking metal intensifies..

[@thomasharnesk8866]

Hej Rune,i seen your videos several times they are amazing,i just want to advice you to not use plastic bottle for the water,they give away small particles of plastic when they get old,and we don`t now how old they are when we buy them.From Mora Sweden.

[@dulynwa5011]

Nice video 💪💪💪

[@joshkuner2451]

Definitely one of my favorite channels. Thank you for sharing your craft. What is it that you sprinkle in the drift hole in between hammering?

[@Br1cht]

Great vid!

[@SurviveAlone]

talented hands. you need to turn the video on tv - discovery

[@SmegmaBukaki69]

I wish your blacksmithing videos were longer 😕

[@ralphwiggum4236]

Приятно посмотреть. Красавчик!

[@PhilipLeFou]

What was the material you sprinkled on the hammered indentation ? Was it charcoal?

[@TINYNumismatics]

I was wondering the same thing...

[@BertramCraftAndWilderness]

Yes - helps the punch not to get stuck.

[@PhilipLeFou]

Rune Malte Bertram-Nielsen Who taught you this trick or did you pick it up yourself?

[@BertramCraftAndWilderness]

@@PhilipLeFou first time I heard about it was from one of the viking blacksmiths here in Denmark - a lot of viking reenactment here in Denmark.... But I have later seen quick a few blacksmiths doing it. It is common and helps.
