[@DavidRamey]

I have to ask, was the motor not repairable?

[@diegocano8266]

David Ramey naw

[@lukeolinger6000]

So impractical making a hatchet out of copper. I MUST HAVE ONE!!

[@sherakee6720]

😂🤣

[@LordBaldur]

Well he could take all the steel and smelt it into something more hardenable,

[@tracybowling1156]

The reason that I like to watch your channel is because you could make the same thing as someone else, but you do it in your own unique, fun to watch way! Always interesting!

[@ericcartrette6118]

There you are! I told my son yesterday that I was wondering where you have been. Your casting skills are getting better all the time. That turned out great.

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thanks!! Here I am :)

[@Engitainment]

Fantastic work on this - I never thought a copper hatchet would hold up so well! Beautiful dimpling on the faces too, really holds the patina well

[@augustm.moschera8646]

Another great one! At first I wondered how the copper didn't deform? But then I remembered that copper WORK HARDENS! so as you formed the cutting edge with the hammer you were actually hardening the copper. very cool!

[@KAESowicz]

But it can also become brittle when it's work hardened too much.

[@weekendstuff]

Just the right amount of copper used for pouring. Was afraid part of it would be missing. Really nice result.

[@crazylaceashira]

Awesome. It’s been fascinating watching your casting skill grow

[@kirkdsnyder3844]

A neat project. You should make another one but add tim to make it bronze. This way you'll have a truly functional ax.

[@daveschroedersworkshop4479]

Magnificent piece. Always a pleasure watching you work!!

[@djamelhamdia134]

It's like watching BigStackD. Great job!

[@robertmanley7556]

It looks FABULOUS man !! Great use of that Copper winding !! When life gives you a bad motor......you make a Hatchet ...very nice work !!👍👍

[@user-sl3il5sz2s]

Everything is done at the highest level. It turned out great as always! It remains to understand why a copper ax is needed.

[@alexspadini]

Pretty but useless

[@Prah123]

man, you've gotten real good at making molds

[@tomswindler64]

As usual your mind is at another level your talent is by far,some of the best I’ve seen.keep on doing what your doing and carry on 👍👍👍😎😎😎

[@micahpartlow4595]

Love this stuff... I could watch this all day

[@angelomarcolinohenriquedes2772]

Mais uma vez, PERFEITO!!! PARABÉNS!

[@Charlielizard]

Turned out beautiful. I would have never thought that cast copper would be able to keep that kind of edge. 👍

[@marnixkamminga8083]

But will it keep it as it's in use 🤔

[@homeyshlitz]

That's a lovely showpiece Black Beard. I would've added some aluminum to the copper so you would have something that can keep an edge.

[@brianfalls5894]

Nice job on the hatchet there Black Beard! I love the way you did that up to make it look like a real antique too. Very nice job. Well done sir!!!

[@CreativeDailyWorks]

Awesome project! Very well done.

[@revtoyota]

Another great video man. A little advice, It looked like your crucible was sticking a bit to the fire brick. Put a piece of cardboard under the crucible it will keep it from sticking to the fire brick.

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thanks for the tip! Will try for sure!

[@KamalAdnanTheFirst]

Another brilliant video. Very well done!!

[@XDIY]

Spectacular! You're inspiring.

[@Druforithe]

I really like the lines of that hatchet head.

[@SupaDad2012]

Cool Project. I really dig the variety of your channel! Keep up the awesome content

[@robertgray9802]

You have an amazing talent in your videos are so good thanks for sharing

[@smilodnfatalis55]

BigStackD would be proud

[@whiteshadow6925]

*0:46** that makes me smile* 😂😂

[@DanielConstantinoS]

God, what a shock! I readed: "My mother burned out so I smelted it"! Black beard has no limits for casting O.O

[@redskins43]

one of the most talented people on youtube...

[@lucielstella9565]

I dont know 😂 Your sense of humor.. “The motor burn out? Okay lets turn it into a hatchet “ 😂 Good idea to give a second lífe to the motor 😅

[@MariniProduction2021]

now that I also make videos where I work the iron I understand how time-consuming it is to make videos of this kind, not to mention material and editing, doubly good for these videos🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Smallathe]

Very impressive work. As always...

[@BXBvlog]

😁 You can bring it to a museum

[@piconano]

I love your channel. Interesting content with no BS "music"

[@andymiller5611]

A very nice looking piece of work, dude! Keep it up! 🍻🤘💜

[@MasterHatred]

Nice job, looks so effortless when you know what you are doing and have skills to pull it of. Bit if decorations with viking rune theme and this would be awesome axe 👌

[@raulbermudez893]

That air chisel Sounds like the aliens from Mars attacks

[@VOVAR]

Great job buddy I like watching you work 💪👍

[@gabrielrochasantana]

Amazing skills man, congrats.

[@josephcormier5974]

Very nice and functional five stars my friend thank you for sharing

[@SG-qg3qv]

Absolutely beautiful!

[@RestorationAustralia]

Nice finish looks great.

[@jeromedangelo7028]

Amazing work!

[@Ironman-pw3wz]

Amazing axe. Good job!

[@lairdcummings9092]

The motor rewinder in me wants to see you rebuild the motor... A bit surprised you didn't alloy the copper into bronze.

[@jaxjackson4100]

I was wondering the same thing 🤔. Aluminum bronze is one of the stronger bronze alloys.

[@lairdcummings9092]

@@jaxjackson4100 yep. Surprisingly durable, and can hold a good edge with the right geometry.

[@r-prorestoration9570]

Interesting video mate !

[@robertgrell486]

👍 really fantastic art blacksmith work. 😉

[@Vickie-Bligh]

Nicely done.

[@petergharib3786]

Always amazing work

[@bohdangt6664]

Thank you for game and video. Good luck ))

[@fagan970]

While the hatchet is gorgeous, I would say it cut the wood, more like sharply bludgeoned it into pieces

[@mary-jeanslaughter8]

I'm from Montana!!!!! So cool! Gonna download this game for sure!!!!😍

[@depeltenburg6916]

You DEFINITELY should make a feather shaped blade knife! You could make an epically design and accomplish it!

[@thanhvan546]

Your skills are perfect 👍

[@shadowscribe]

Wow; that was an expert grade casting. Literally the bare minimum of excess material

[@PrimalEdge]

awesome job! I love it!!

[@vinceianni4026]

Good job my friend

[@alanbragg9466]

Awesome vid. Suggestion though, you should send the wooden forms to Bigstackd Casting to be cast in Nordic Gold.

[@bob-the-builder9721]

Love it . Great job

[@MrMarkRoads]

If I might say drill a small hole at the end of your cut for the notch. Great job I need to cast something!

[@BearMeat4Dinner]

i want to make one when I move to my new place! so many trees to take down!! ❤

[@jakebrakejunky10-4]

We have the technology to make the best steel ever to make the best cutting blades the world has ever seen and you pull out 3 thousand year old technology 😂 It is a gorgeous hatchet though and I have a few junk motors laying around and I think i found myself a new project. Been wanting something else to hang on the walls and a matching pair would look beautiful.

[@stinkfingerdeluxx]

I'm sure it'll be even cooler looking when it gets the green patina..... you can always soak it in some white vinegar if you want to find out faster 😋

[@toolrestoration]

The old smelting into a hatchet trick ..........😂😂

[@lolcec81]

Комментарий в поддержку канала и ролика, а также труда мастера.

[@Cszysiek]

That edge has kept surprisingly well after that knob

[@oakland86pz37]

If you wrap a 25/30 meters of chain around that anvil you will reduce half of that noise believe me it makes a massive difference 😉

[@patrezze9370]

I would love to see you try to make a copper mug... they are actually really nice and durable!

[@piconano]

Untreated copper is toxic. They usually tin it to make it usable for kitchen stuff.

[@pacman10182]

when you need to cut down a small tree, but it's in a grain silo

[@henryganzer4685]

when i see you remove all the copper from these old motor i thought the channels name is "Black Brrrrrrd Brrrrrrrrrrd Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrd Projects" 😎😎😎

[@pasqualegallo9694]

Bellissima complimenti 👏👏👏💪

[@accaliamurraymusic]

Aww I was lowkey hoping you'd use the aluminium in the motor housing for the handle. Still a great axe though!

[@kfletcher2005]

DIdn't realize you could make a hatchet from copper. I suppose for light duty tasks, or just something to put on display. It is beautiful.

[@bradthayer6782]

Nice job work hardening the edge, wondered how you were going to make it cut anything but bread.

[@joshschneider9766]

Also now that I think on it can we get a tutorial or info vid on that cnc router? It looks amazingly useful!

[@user-oe7tw9iv4k]

Did not know that a copper axe can be so powerful

[@eelcohoogendoorn8044]

I was thinking some of the aluminium housing would also go into the melt; but at least it looks very nice this way :).

[@mattjohns3394]

10% aluminium would have made it Aluminium bronze. Good hardness. Looks like gold(ish).

[@topqualitymilling]

When the hatchet stops cutting, you could smelt it into a motor that will run!

[@elgales]

Very good Brother!... 👍

[@Fly-SanDiego]

That live read was a little rough. Nice hatchet!

[@johnthemainguy9059]

Great! Save that pattern for a bronze one next time.

[@vickipease6653]

Super cool!

[@alanso8621]

It remains to find Mammoth)) Greetings from Russia!)

[@davidleung2432]

Three thousand years ago, people found out that copper in its pure form was not a material for making tools that require durability. That was why we had the Bronze Age. You may find that out sooner or later too!

[@peter-willswarts7354]

So creative and a masterpiece. Can you forge a Rick Grimes Hatchet please

[@BenNawrath]

When you first introduce the copper into the crucible, is that oils and epoxy and stuff burning off?

[@colephares4973]

Watch out. BigStackD might be coming for you.

[@Arbh1]

There's an Australian channel called Bigstackd Casting, guy does the same melting things, but the same thing in every video can bore/irritate you

[@jerryjohnsonii4181]

Awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@larrykelly2838]

Nice job

[@nicholaseedy3244]

I like the way you think!

[@dimulio]

Now I know how people in the Bronze Age made their axes. They made them from broken electric motors! Like!

[@re-fix9678]

Wow beautiful👍

[@jasonsummit1885]

Just a series of farts to get the copper out of the motor.😂Might I suggest that if you make another one, add some tin in with the copper and make it out of bronze.😁

[@SergioHernandez-le8wp]

He who smelt it...dealt it

[@tattoosteveneo]

I see what you did there. By hammering the edge you hardened it, well some anyway 👍

[@magnumpunch]

I would have bet you were adding tin or aluminum to get some sort of bronze alloy. Very nice anyways!

[@Dardrum]

good job
