Making a 1912 Firefighter Axe.

[@JamesUnderwood-k6u]

No back ground music is great Tim love hearing the natural sounds keep it up!

[@johnreese1337]

So calm, quiet and refreshing. Really enjoying the video so far

[@coreyadams4129]

I enjoy every "bit" of that axe. You've had me anticipating for a week now with those teaser shorts.

[@caveweta]

I love these videos where you let the tools do the talking. Great job.

[@donaldmatthies6026]

Wow! As a firefighter both blue and red card certified, that's a really nice looking axe! Thank you for taking time to forge, film, edit and post this video.

[@Joe___R]

That axe turned out quite nice. If you make another you should give the buyer the option to have a curved or straight handle. Most firefighters I know that carry an axe opt for a straight handle since they tend to use the spike more often than the axe face.

[@derekhartley4480]

You really out did yourself on this one Tim. Beautiful work and story telling, really enjoyed feeling like a fly on the wall to the creative process. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@jannisalexander1]

That video was great. I loved the beginning oj just raw filming with minimal sound. Great build.

[@homemadetools]

Rare tool build, great video, and the end product is beautiful. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum last week 😎

[@alifetomake]

Yes, I really like seeing the forging of a unique piece. Please keep going!... It's a beauty!

[@BangTheRocksTogether]

I watch a lot of forging videos. Watching you draw out that pick is as good as it gets. Beautiful axe, excellent video, fine storytelling!

[@Zogg1281]

That axe looks amazing and the handle is perfect! 👌 I love the way you've made the box, so you could use the box to display the axe when you aren't using it. Absolutely fantastic work and I hope she goes for a great price 😊👍👍👍👍👍

[@Little_River_Forge]

You’ve been killin it since I found this channel years back. This one was 👌👌❤️

[@nickfranklin1867]

Absolutely fascinating to watch Tim!

[@DanielHenry-kn8nk]

Really enjoyed this video. The axe is amazing, one of my favorite of all time I think.

[@wdworden]

I always enjoy watching you create these pieces Tim.

[@ThemusMaximus]

Thanks for sending me the reminder email about your latest creation. Well worth watching you create something so beautiful.

[@benthompson9834]

Love the video. The pacing and presentation were awesome.

[@grantcox4764]

That is an awesome piece of merch, my man. Beautiful, stylish, practical yet brutish and Powerful. Your skills are really well developed, not only the smith side, but presentation is off the scale. Been watching since yonks back, but this is some master level work.

[@jkr3008]

What a piece of art, Tim

[@greenthumbprepper8653]

Looks hella awesome Tim!!👍

[@JoeSmith-wd8ks]

Great video Tim , amazing job you did there , your workmanship and attention to detail is outstanding . Love to have a go making an axe one day . Here in New Zealand there are Kelly axes that have made in Canada on them -good axes . All the best maté from one Tim to another 👍

[@SchysCraftCo.]

😮. Timmothy beautiful job. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Forge on. God bless.

[@cerealport2726]

Great stuff as always, Mr Dyck. I always enjoy watching you in action.

[@epicname1549]

I really miss cutting with a torch... it was always a ton of fun!

[@jameshaulenbeek5931]

That's amazing! I never realized what kind of tooling was necessary to forge that. Have you considered making a pulaski?

[@newagelumberjack]

This was freaking incredible! Imagine making a Pulaski or a Rafter axe head

[@dougpark1025]

It seems a good 1912 one off axe to make is a Pulaski. The US forest service started using them in 1913. So a 1912 stamp on one would fit the timeline...

[@kd5byb]

Love it! I'd love to see you do a small 1912 ball-pein hammer with what you've got left. I love the bigger tools...but I use my small tools more than anything these days. Keep up the awesome work! (loving my 2 pound cross-pein hammer BTW)

[@craigbryant31]

Top shelf, one of your best videos. Amazing outcome.

[@calholli]

I like it better with the rough and raw forge texture.. with only the blade ground.. It just looks great.. When you grind everything, it just makes it look manufactured and kinda takes away that "Forged" look that I love so much.

[@pjamestx]

That red stain looks fantastic, great idea there!

[@familyonamissiongo4790]

A Pulaski of the same size would be great I enjoy your videos

[@rocky3075]

Awesome build Timothy. Keep it up 💪🦊👍

[@narcisoespinosa941]

Beautiful work , mister.

[@pierees8038]

Lovely work mate

[@matts8013]

Great video Tim!! Loved it. Keep the forge lit!

[@johnnyho900]

That axe is amazing, beautiful work!

[@robg84]

Great job Tim

[@osbdaniel1]

I second the Pulaski Idea. And then a crowbar too. Make it a set

[@GordonSanders]

nailed it. loved the extended intro

[@valiantforge]

Really great video though I did miss your commentary through it. That axe turned out fantastic!

[@jimmyrk3]

One offs are cool. Would like to see more.😀

[@Christyleadbitter]

Love the one offs great video.

[@livinthedreamNT]

Love your work, I'd like to see a racing axe from you

[@virtusleather]

Awesome axe tim! 🇨🇦✊🏻

[@jdbergan]

Wow that thing looks great

[@garychaiken808]

Great job. Thank you 😊

[@happyvapor4670]

Awesome work. Wish I knew how to do this.

[@Kiltedwoodsmith]

Love your videos Sir.

[@timhorton555]

Yes. All the projects you can think of.

[@stevendelvecchio3721]

Great build.

[@ajhearn4535]

For sure keep going with the one of's. Need a sweet double bit axe next, maybe with a high carbon steel bit to get the differential hardened line. Not sure if you can get that with the train rail or not

[@1clinkerman]

Wonderful video!! I wish you(or any hammer man) would do a video/ series of power hammer tooling(how to make and use). I’ve been at the anvil for 40 years now doing door hardware. Joints are starting to show that and have started doing way more of the work using the power hammer and tooling. New way of thinking for me and would greatly appreciate help. Cheers, Jamie Tyree(US of A)

[@elementjoe]

Well done

[@rangerrick2246]

I'm a late comer to your channel, love the different projects. I'm sure I'm not the only one interested in the auction results.... How about posting some final numbers!

[@jensbarsoe5471]

Amazing as always!

[@firebeard]

I just saw a 1912 rail in this film clip - Emperor Of The North (1973) - "Slipping On The Grade"

[@heathbanks5755]

Tim fantastic as always. Have you ever made a double bit axe? That might be cool

[@daviddrover-smith7217]

So beautiful. ❤❤❤

[@lancemillward1912]

Looks sweet to me.

[@UnknowableAbsolute]

You need larger power hammer

[@memyselfandeye1234]

very nice .... double bit next?

[@timmyreeves9170]

14mins I had to wait thought you lost your voice lol awesome video tho loved watching it come together

[@geoffheith]

Honest question and I cant believe I have asked before, why do you grind off the pointy edges at the beginning before forge? Wouldn't you just pound that out on the hammer?

[@AdrianMRyan]

1921 Carpenter's Hammer? Or hatchet? I've long been fascinated by the hatchet featured in Happy People: A Year in the Taiga. Here's a link to a scene of it in a lot of use: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJPLgXyBYtR1rKMsi=-v5YSwhjqGjMvfcD&t=420 The flare, the hammer end, the flat blade. Thing I've never seen all brought together. But the things this man can do with the tool!

[@itzikca]

I know it’s not your cup of tea, but id like to see you make a 1912 sword :D

[@katarn999]

Very interesting and also relaxing video, thanks! 😄 One question though: Why are there no windows in your shop? Wouldn't a bit of natural light be nice while you work all day?

[@sinisterthoughts2896]

absolutely not. forging is done in dark shops so you can see if the metal is hot by the glow and can judge the temperature of the metal by the color and intensity. adding light to that would skew everything. it's an issue that comes up a lot when metal gets worked around windows of it being overheated because the metal must get much hotter to see the glow. so, the darkness is necessary for consistent metal working.

[@katarn999]

@@sinisterthoughts2896 Ok - wasn't aware of this. Sounds tough for people working in a forge, but ok. Thanks for your feedback!

[@timjk32]

thats unreal. where did u learn how to do this?

[@dad_uchiha1707]

Why are cutting discs used frequently for grinding? Do they do it better or something?

[@dmckenzie9281]

Retired firefighter here and that is a beautiful axe! How many hours did that actually take from start to finish? I am sure that there is a lot of the process edited out of your video. Is it multiple days in the shop ?

[@MrAndrew1400]

Really nice work Tim, did you ever consider leaving beards on it?

[@bfd1565]

Cool 😎

[@rakersdownnz]

How about a Pulaski 👍

[@iamsick5204]

You probably answer this on different video but whats the significance of 1912. Are you following a blueprint of somekind?

[@robsinclair1001]

Made from 1912 train rail

[@sinisterthoughts2896]

train rail that is marked as made in 1912, all of his series of crafts are named after the vintage of the steel beam he uses.

[@mateocardonab952]

Tim are you ok?

[@Vorpinga]

Categoria 🤌🏽

[@hulkthedane7542]

👍💪👍

[@Intothetroid]

👍🪓

[@gabrielsturdevant9700]

i sure hope this aint a replica

[@princatko2389]

What about titanium? 😅 it will be awesome to see this beast made out of titanium ❤

[@garetkonigsfeld2]

I like watching the one-offs being made. I'm not a fan of the no talking. At all !!

[@axonkilleur2118]

first

[@doinkboi1838]

i was so close shucks XD

[@davepage5875]

big chungas

[@sinisterthoughts2896]

actually, a little light for a fireman's axe.
