About me:
Hi! My name is Philip and one of the people behind Lufolk. I have always been interested in the simple things in life. When I look back on history I get inspired and fascinated by the people who came up with all the smart solutions to make our everyday life easier. What you can accomplish with a few tools and great skills is impressive. The first time I got that feeling: I made this! This will be useful! Was when I made a wooden spoon as a kid. And think that was the start, I have ever since been interested in making things.

Excellent, the sort of axe you would need to hew foemen.

This video really shows the power hammer and how you can use it. I think it requires more skill and practice to be useful. And I love the design of the axe!

Holy smokes! That's an awesome looking axe! I like how you did the process differently than most. I see a lot of methods where they fold the axe in half. This is one of the few that I've seen lately that does it from a chunk of metal. Also, is your shop normally dark, or is it only on video recording days?

[@lufolkcrafts]

Thank you! Yes, back in the days when they didn't have vices it made more sense with the folding method or forging it this way. Normally I have the lights on so it's just when recording I have it dark. I like the video like this 🙂

[@RyanBarnes]

@@lufolkcrafts me too. It adds a sense of mystery, or old time smithing in a castle or something very very old... Except for the power hammer... 😆 Do you have a book on how to make some of your projects?

[@lufolkcrafts]

@@RyanBarnes thanks for the feedback! Yes, bedside the power hammer 😀 I am planning to make online guides, courses, books etc so axe forging among other things will be covered.
