I Made 12 Axes To Sell - Hand Forged From 100 Year Old Train Rail - Canadian made Hudson Bay Axe

SOLD OUT! THANK YOU! Next drop coming around end of January 2021! Please follow me on instagram if you want up to date info on the drop. / timothy.dyck
Link to my website for purchasing the axes
www.timothydyck.com/axe/hudso...
Really pumped to be bringing these 12 axes to you today!
This particular series of axes is made from reclaimed railroad steel dated 1908 by the Great Northern train company, a rare find in British Columbia. For a short time around the turn of the last century the Great Northern made an attempt to battle the Canadian Pacific train company to draw out natural resources from within BC but after some fierce rivalry decided to abandon the rail line.
The head of the axe is hand forged completely out of this rail steel and is fully hardened and tempered to ensure long lasting durability. Each head is stamped with the date of the rail (1908), the serial number of the axe and the makers mark on the front.
The handle is 24” long made from hickory and fitted with a black walnut wedge.
Each axe comes with a custom leather sheath that has been made to protect the user from the razor sharp edge.

Looks like I will have to be grabbing one of those, my Great Grandfather worked as a structural engineer on the Great Northern from 1891 to 1911 designing and building bridges.

Such a cool thing to make out of this material. I can tell you are improving a lot over the years. Keep it up Tim, you’re excellent at what you do.

Very nice! Great idea for blacksmith merch and well made! Nice to see the process and grats on the 100 YO railroad track.

So cool to recycle old rail steel. I have a few pieces of the old narrow gauge rail from franklin county Maine. Who knows, might give it a try. Best of luck in the new venture. Super nice axes and history. Thank you for showing us the build.

[@rickjames9199]

Much love to Buckin' Billy Ray for putting me up on you and what you do. Beautiful work, thank you for sharing your talents with us!

[@lukeolinger6000]

You should do a crossover episode with Hand Tool Rescue and have him restore your press/power hammer combo.

[@brasilianols6350]

Time to turn dem notifications on for the next batch!!! unfortunately missed out on this one... Maybe next Batch could be bowie knives???????

[@Coleton33Music]

Not that I've ever re-handled an axe head, but a tip from Essential Craftsmen is to sharpen the axe head on the very last step, after it's on the handle. If you're looking to make a lot of these, perhaps look into the "Russian knife sharpener" that Cody from Wranglerstar has a few videos about. Makes consistent, razor edge sharpening easy.

[@Coleton33Music]

Another thing I've heard about making the axe head stay on for a long time is to soak the head of the axe (with the handle in) in boiled linseed oil overnight. People would do this with water but it would dry up over time and make the handle loose. Oil fills the cells of the wood and stays there.

[@uni3831]

definitely gotta start selling those beautiful handles

[@dennisschock165]

Way to go Timothy make the heck out of them!

[@philurbaniak1811]

Between you and Martin mate this axe is awesome , Youse make a grate team .. :)

[@itterman]

Really kewl to see this. My grandfather had one the originals used it for spliting kindling and when he was trapping. He made a newer handle about maybe 1/3 as long again.

[@jackryan9875]

I have a jar of odie’s dark myself, and it’s not nearly as dark as yours. Any chance you can ask your friend that gave you that finish if he used any additional colorants and if so how much?

[@KPSince1953]

What oil do you use for he sheaths? I really like that finish

[@stelp7617]

Now I wish I had $350 to spend. nice work!

It might be killing a mouse with an elephant gun ...... You might look into Magnafluxing to disclose hidden cracks, flaws in the stock. It's pretty straight forward.

[@courier11sec]

Your axes are sharper than my pocket knife, and I've been teaching myself to sharpen with water stones... :|

[@aaronraymond5121]

Whats it like forging with the titanium hammer compared to a steel hammer ?

[@dhgodzilla1]

So you have an Ax to Grind?

[@mfk12340]

If someone had a collaboration with buckin Billy Ray Smith on axe design. And made an heirloom splitting axe, then I'd definitely buy for like 4 or 5 hundred bucks.

[@j1952d]

Wot, no train rail chain mail?

Are you still using that titanium hammer quite a bit?

[@martinschneider1243]

Hi Timothy, like your content very much. Poorly I have seen your video too late to get an Axe, on one side for me to have a nice piece of blacksmithing and on the other side to support you. But in the first place I have a small question. Do you ship to EU - Germany? Would be very nice to get one of the second batch.

[@TimothyDyck]

I would totally ship one to you in Germany, no problem! If your not following me on Instagram, please do as that stays most current for axe availability etc. Thanks.

[@rottyrotty7016]

Whould anyone be able to tell me what's the name of the machine that trims and shapes the axe heads? Thank you

Hey Tim! New sub, Buckin sent me.

Thanks and welcome

[@victordesanderobledo4522]

I'll have to be faster next time if I want one! And, Tim, could you tell me what heat treatment do you do on them?

[@TimothyDyck]

Thanks! We normalize two times, then quench in oil, then temper for 2 hours at 400 F. It’s not a recipe for all RR. If we make axes from different RR then I would have to retest and dial it in. Hope that answers your question.
