Hults Bruk Video Diary

[@Trevlee74]

Thanks for sharing Dave.

[@Auxinelectro]

I recently went to Sweden camping and just seeing the brief train shots out of the window made me feel good cheers!

[@hectoralicea5945]

thanks Dave for sharing this video. hope the trip was a fun one, I enjoyed watching.

[@Myrmecia]

Fantastic video. Great to see those skilled axe-makers so relaxed in their trade. A useful reminder, too, of the heavy machinery used in axe-making. I especially enjoyed seeing the way the hole for the handles was finished.

[@BiscuitsStuckToTheWall]

That's one heckuva forge. Thanks for taking us along.

[@brang16]

Glad to see you visiting Sweden Dave! Hope you are enjoying yourself here:)

[@mannyangulo8644]

I bought a HB Salen Hatchet from your site few months ago and made a leather guard and leather handle wrap. I'm very happy with my axe. Nice video.

[@christosmilonas7986]

Great Dave! I have been following every episode of your channel for many years and now I see you just passed my home at the end of your video at Huddinge Station near Stockholm. Welcome to Sweden! I hope You have a pleasent stay in Sweden - there are a lot of things to learn about bushcraft here!

[@kidrockfan69]

Great video thanks for taking us along!

[@leocalabro1114]

it was great dave something different to watch true craftsmanship

[@raywalter3992]

Thanks for taking us on your trip!!

[@imdrunken]

Dave your the man. you are living the dream.

[@Screamingtut]

looks like a fun trip dave hope you enjoyed it

[@stephensgate1]

I wish I could have gone with him.

[@MikejonesknifeandtoolTk]

I've restored a few older HB heads recently, they're great axes. What an experience this must have been!

[@axelssonmicke]

Välkommen till Sverige Dave! I hope you will have a nice stay!

[@transdetendal]

cool to see you our naighboor country ! welcome to scandinavia !!!

[@WVTreenWorks]

Great video Dave!

[@craigebers38]

about damn time you got your own axe Dave. congratulations!

[@2862Gunny]

That guy on the hammer station was smooth. No wasted motions, as if he had done it once or twice.

[@BrayonBushcraft]

Its real nice to see how its done, cant wait till your axe hits the store!

[@kaziklu79]

Thanks for sharing!

[@chrisgiddens231]

Thats AWESOME Dave, Hope I see you at Blade show!

[@DavidCanterbury]

Gonna have to leave that to the new fellas on the block, I am going to a fund raiser for Cancer research in MO this weekend brother

[@NE_Ohio_Hiker]

awesome video dave, enjoyed it.

[@Cain0078]

Ty dave!

[@MrFishd05]

Great video Dave. Fellow Axe Junkie here.

[@willynthepoorboys2]

Great video.

[@waffenmacht]

Thanks for sharing Dave, I believe my Husqvarna Axe was made by Hults Bruk

[@FishTheJim]

Good video but I think I would have preferred one with a Dave Canterbury narration. Your the reason these videos work so well Mr. Canterbury.

[@quantum470]

I hope you had a good time here in Sweden! :)

[@leegrubb6753]

Dave do you know what their daily scrap is? In handles as well as heads! Good looking ax!!!

[@Mr_Green892]

I have bought all of my axes at flea markets. Don't have more than $20 in any of them. I just file them, hone them, sometimes have to replace a handle. I would love a new axe, but they are way to expensive compared to buying a fixer upper.

[@waldmeisterbrehm]

great dave... love the hults... more affordable than gransfors or wetherlings. and how much is the price for the hultaburries? ;) greetings from cologne, germany arthur

[@LarsonFamilyFarm-LLC]

interesting..thanks for sharing

[@watermain48]

Welcome to the supreme man palace. Thanks Dave. Do they make Husqvarna axes there as well?

[@girafmad]

still in the nordic countries? holding any seminars or lectures here? if so where to join?

[@grantglenndale152]

Excellent !!!!!!!!!!

[@persigurdhansen]

they make good axes,i use my grandfathers axe and it got many years left in it.

[@woodturningjohn]

That is cool, looks like a fun trip. Wonder if they would let me in the plant, LOL

[@DeeOGee-bq3pu]

Dave looks kinda like a homeless guy, pretty sure they would let you in if they let him in.

[@woodturningjohn]

Dee O. Gee LOL and I always thought Dave was bigger, next to those guys, not so much :)

[@timothyperrigoue3997]

The bark of that log looked familiar and some of the dead leaves as well... Were you cutting Locust wood with the axe at the end of the video? That is some of the hardest wood I know of!

[@quequechanbushcraft1451]

That's pretty sweet, does each forge press create a different shape?

[@TheGrizzlyHillbilly]

wow, looks like you had a blast. now I know what you've been up to :)

[@neanderthaloutdoors9202]

Nice one Dave, Hultafors is my preference over Gransfors, as well made but cheaper, I have the Classic Hunter for back packing, cheers, atb, Paul.

[@threeredstars]

Those guys got some serious skills.

[@criscross6591]

Very Cool!

[@CLOWNUK]

i see a lot of the workers wear the peltor fm radio ear muffs, i find the sound to be very good

[@shawnsblueworldadventure]

hi dave i like what u got going on keep up the good work i would like to work with u sometime

[@BigPoppa-Monk]

I want that kids job of setting the handles.

[@dennisnettles6110]

That was too cool!!

[@wesbrown3831]

I didn't see your designed axe in your store, is it coming soon?

[@DavidCanterbury]

August release date

[@wesbrown3831]

+wildernessoutfitters look forward to it.. thank you for quick response.

[@rasmusroriroror]

Wow! How long where you here, and what did you see besides Hults Bruk? Hälsningar från Sverige :)

[@DavidCanterbury]

I was in Sweden 10 Days, teaching at the 125th Anniversary Celebration at Mora Knives also visited Gransfors Bruk

[@rasmusroriroror]

Cool! I was at wetterlings a couple of days back. All the axe manufacturers workshops here seem to look very similar. Was it hard to use that kind of power hammer? seems most axe smiths only use one heat to shape the head.

[@DavidCanterbury]

Hults bruk has a completely different process in several ways I also toured Gransfors while in Sweden

[@timothystacey2999]

if it can cut thru a knot like that without dulling I want one

[@JAKE-qr3rv]

how tall is dave? seems real small next to them boys

[@tsnorquist]

He's in Viking country. All other peoples are small.

[@DavidCanterbury]

5'8"

[@JAKE-qr3rv]

+wildernessoutfitters i see, nice vid man

[@JAKE-qr3rv]

+tsnorquist thats not true lol

[@DavidCanterbury]

Correct there are plenty over these less than 5'10" for sure, especially up north, but there are a few tall ones as well for sure

[@shaolindreams]

very cool

[@stratton78ja]

Nice!!

[@Cain0078]

So ... gränsfors next?

[@UnbeltedSundew]

Awesome

[@wanderingthewilderness]

looks like a good tool

[@Murky_Lurks]

Damn power hammer they've got looks like poorly cared for mouth... reminiscent of a fun house for some reason. Cool piece of machinery but vaguely terrifying at the same time.

[@wpatrick22744]

I hope you had earplugs in dave? I've lost my hearing in one ear working on a refinery because I was ignorant to rules.i paid the price.lesson learnt but far too late.great vid my man.stay safe

[@SuperUncleRyan]

I hate to sound like Safety Sally but it seems like they should be wearing eye protection especially around the hammers. ?? I love your channel brother, although I was very disappointed in the bushpot I recently bought, still love the videos and your willingness to share knowlege.

[@DavidCanterbury]

Could you be more specific on why you were disappointed I would love to replace the pot if it was a manufacturing issue?

[@SuperUncleRyan]

+wildernessoutfitters Maybe I missed it in the description somewhere but I just expected coming from your brand to be made in America. The pot will be fine. I know you gotta do what you gotta do, just a little disappointed is all. With everything going on in the world I just wish I could see more "made in USA". God bless you and yours. I'll quit complaining now. 👍

[@DavidCanterbury]

Unfortunatley there are no processes in the US that do this type extrusion that is not astronomical in Cost of manufacturing, that pot would be well over 100.00 made in the US, we try to have the best products we can and use US and Euro brands when possible but it is not always Cost effective for our Customers

[@SuperUncleRyan]

I guess you could say that my disappointment is not so much with your store as it is with the fact that like you say, outsorcing is the better option. I wish that weren't the case. God bless you, Iris and your business my friend.

[@ggtt2547]

As an engineer and an amateur, starting outdoors/woodcraft enthusiast, i'm wet!! Great video!!!

[@ShelleyRaskin]

Fabulous

[@Sauciflash]

That tree got chewed :p

[@astrazenica7783]

such a cool power hammer

[@BigDH28]

Hell yeah!

[@KarlWander]

Hope you enjoyed you stay! :)

[@englishwoodsman]

now we know how to make them great lesson

[@DavidCanterbury]

If you find those presses let me know I will take 2

[@englishwoodsman]

+wildernessoutfitters there is a site on Google people sell old machinery I will see if I can look it up for you

[@maisetas]

so hults bruk is gonna be kind of your brand ?

[@DavidCanterbury]

I designed a Felling Axe with HB, they are my preferred Brand in the Axe market yes-

[@maisetas]

nice, good job. i always admire people who tries to revive the dying world of bushcraft.

[@eron17]

The HB / Hultafors axes are great but I don't like the sheath they come with. I hope your model will take care of that as well.

[@canoingnaturebushcraftswed2174]

Dont you just love my country! ;D

[@swedisharcher9405]

welcome to Sweden

[@GreaseStain]

..... did i hear someone talking about nova scotia at the start? lol

[@johncraftenworth7847]

Nice axe, but I'll take my Husqvarna axe of this Hults Bruks. Husqvarna is true swedish quality and I think is equal to these.

[@miked4317]

$130! Damn!

[@philliprowe9260]

I guess they don't believe in safety glasses...

[@quequechanbushcraft1451]

um dad... why did you take me to a gay steel mill? : Bart S.

[@Necromancer_46]

deyv amcaaaaaaaaaa :D

[@pennfootball71]

The vikings!

[@Ohnyet]

Manufacturing safety standards seem to be non-existant!!!

[@rogerlawson4516]

Eye protection? Nope.

[@sargefaria]

....and all this time you been using a hammer and an anvil Dave, shame on you! haha
