You are the "Primitive Technology" of blacksmithing channels :)

[@basedbear1605]

When the EMP hits, he will be the literally Cutting Edge Elite Technology. I am designing my forge now, and seeing this made me rethink my power hammer.

[@Cody_Ramer]

If you like wood working check out mrchickadee. Absolutely amazing woodworking skills!

[@kristianembreus5338]

😂😂😂

[@garethbaus5471]

These look like a great design. Between these three tools you have most of the functions of a much larger anvil with a fraction of the cost and increased portability.

[@hillbillydipper9199]

This guy REALLY MADE A POWER HAMMER OMG NO CHANCE 🤯🤯🤯🤯

[@luketownsend4527]

I can’t stop watching this video! Love love love! Amazing craftsman!

[@4a8d698f]

The best You-Tube channels are about the skills of the presenter not the personality. Thank you for keeping it that way.

[@Toborinc]

Why can I not double like?! This is ingenious and absolutely wonderful for a mobile blacksmith! Something that Vikings would've loved! Thank you!

[@Afro408]

Well, they did love them, 'cause they did have them, though theirs were made from bloomery iron and possibly had welded faces of carbon steel.

[@GreatSmithanon]

I like the simplicity of this. It seems like it would work just as well as a big standard anvil would for most tasks. The wedge anvil there would be perfectly sufficient for forging swords and axes and other tools, the long horn anvil would be great for detailing, and the smaller square anvil with a small horn would suffice for smaller detail work such as torcs, armbands, rings, etc. This seems a perfectly servicable setup when paired with a basic wood table for filework and a grinding station.

[@gregarusbiloxicus]

Thanks for being illustrative. A picture says a thousand words, but a video says a million.

[@luketownsend4527]

I absolutely love all your videos! I aspire to be at your blacksmithing level! Thanks for the videos!

[@hannahcostello5069]

I love how you finish the 3rd anvil by using the first two, also how you carve the sheath for your knives using the blade you've just forged. INTEGRITY!

[@vasari9198]

It is no small thing to say that the picture quality of the videos on this channel is second to none.

[@thehighersociety7338]

This is the best blacksmithing youtuber to watch.

[@ZyonSigil]

that "power hammer in the beginning was amazing i would love to see an assembly video of how you did that

[@mustafaerenduba629]

me too

[@JustinTopp]

Check the description of video

[@dillonrajaniemi9513]

Its called a treadle hammer, lots of good videos around on making them.

[@yourmom.2743]

It's called a Treadle hammer and they are very simple to make, I made one back when I was 12 years old and its worked really well for about twenty years.

[@basilebannister710]

yes please

[@MrRugercat45]

These are so cool, the perfect thing for taking on Viking expeditions to repair weapons and tools and make necessary new ones. I was thinking for years what would a person without resources use for an anvil? If nothing else a large smooth rock, but if you’re in a position to improvise then using a large splitting axe or wedge, a hammer partially buried in the ground or in a stump or your camp axe deeply embedded into a stump or log will do.

[@odinallfather4560]

Another awesome video Rune Malte Bertram-Nielsen. Got to say I like seeing a treadle hammer in use.

[@seanenglish85]

Wonderful video. I can watch it over and over again. Thank you for such quality content.

[@manowode6286]

Mint! Love the simple sledge hammer mechanism too. Thanks for the video.

[@gotgothazard2831]

I m french. My english is not really good. But i realy love your vodeo ,the time and the work for do a video like this. A big thanks for allllllllll the technique you give to make anvils knifs.................. you are an exemple for me!!!! ✌💪💪💪💪💪

[@mistere947]

This is my new favorite channel. Thank you for doing what you do.

[@romacrafter5121]

Very nice job. The video shoves that you don't really need a fancy big anvil. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@marknickerson3645]

Great hot file work! Love the end product, these will definitely come in handy on your camping excursions.

[@sidneykim1]

Your videos are literally speechless. I love your works!

[@Moondog-wc4vm]

Really enjoyed watching this. It's the first video of yours I have seen but won't be the last!

[@metasolo1222]

Mesmerizing. Better than ASMR. Love your videography.

[@Generalphoenix8438]

Truly amazing work. I was so inspired by these desigs and the viking history that i decided to base a nation on it for a fantasy book and used these anvils as a concept of using little metal but making amazing tools and weapons.

[@troutbumhobo]

all three anvils are stunning work

[@anuronironworks6164]

The things you can do in that little outdoor shop never cease to amaze me

[@JD.007]

i keep coming back to your videos. definitely a favorite.

[@darrinmoneer8518]

Another GREAT vid Rune Thank You for no drama and forever begging

[@Wolfram762]

Your content is awesome, man! Those viking anvils were very beautiful and well crafted!!

[@lutfihartanto4982]

love your bushcraft & smithing. cant wait for another bushcraft video.

[@rickhenninger6978]

You are an amazing person. This video was really fun to watch. Thanks for taking us a long

[@mrForestBeard]

Great Job! One of those videos after which you want to start doing the same almost instantly :D

[@alialmahanawi8409]

Great work Rune , I enjoy watching your channel . Greetings from Detroit , Michigan 🇺🇸

[@johnwinchell1029]

No touch mark? Nice work. I appreciate your skill set in smithing and demonstrating earlier times.

[@BertramCraftAndWilderness]

Thanks. No - I never touch mark any thing.

[@vizanarkonin4475]

Can't stop to adore your creativity. I thought the tongs were brilliant - but damn, that "power"-hammer! Pure genius. Thank you for a great amount of great ideas. Keep up the good work,mate! \o/

[@ericsprado4631]

Ummmm-yes his videos are great but the "power hammer" you admire has been around for a couple of hundred years . Look up Treadle hammers and Oliver Hammers. You'll find an amazing assortment of plans to fit any budget..

[@lhyperboreen9716]

Really good job wonderful. Thanks for the memory of the old life viking our ancestors 😍😍

[@Aminuts2009]

Just goes to show you don't need fancy equipment to get work done. A very good video.

[@sheep1ewe]

I realy love the blacksmithing videos! Lot of inspiration!

[@xXMACEMANXx]

@ 5:08 to those non-blacksmiths, this technique of working the material back into itself, making it fatter, is called "upsetting." For plenty of reasons, this isn't very easy to do. Needing to keep the piece aligned, constantly squaring the face again to continue the upset, selective heating, there's a lot going on And to get from that bar of leaf spring at 5:00 to the (mostly) final size at 5:45 would have taken a lot... and I mean a LOT of time and effort to upset that much material. Even to non-blacksmiths, this man's skill is very apparent, but to those of us who are more familiar with what he's doing, it's outstanding.

[@SamTownsBladesmith]

Great video, you put a lot of effort into your work, and it shows. Well done

[@rickw.6401]

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply, it means a lot to me. Love your videos!!!

[@jeremyhannaford1306]

I’m a history major although I haven’t been active in the last few years. I wondered what the Cornish would have called Vikings because I knew there was at least raiding that far west. I found a reference to brief Cornish/Briton cooperation with the Vikings before Cnut took the Southwest in 1017ish.

Great videos...would love to see an extended bushcraft trip with canoe and portaging through Scandinavia.

[@BertramCraftAndWilderness]

Thanks. I will for sure do some longer trips with canoe - a lot of canoeing in especially north Scandinavia.

[@velazquezarmouries]

I am impressed at how the tree stump was technically the original swage block

[@gregheaney9169]

Could you please do a video about your peddle driven power hammer. I would love to know how you built that and the engineering behind it. Because it looks awesome.

[@44szaman]

Very interesting! Thanks!

В этом мастере нравится то, что он старается работать, максимально Не используя современные электрические инструменты. Все приводится мускульной силой-от этого изделия получаются Максимально с душой! При введении в процесс современных инструментов - на выходе бездушная болванка сразу.. Молодец! Хочу так тоже уметь делать!

[@corwus-corax_369]

Походная наковальня, изумительная вещь.

[@gravytrain8041]

Very impressive. And thank you. I've been wanting to make that last horn one. But, wasn't sure how to go about it. I love your videos bubby.

[@trashman49057]

Very nice work. It always amazes the things smiths were able to make on those small anvils. Im looking forward to seeing what you produce on them. it would be interesting to see a large chopper or tomahawk/ small axe made on them. Any plans to put together a traveling tool chest? Something along the minimalist forge set ups thought to be used by the vikings? At least from what I've seen of some the viking archeological displays. You're outdoor forge set up is a very good example of what I've seen of their forging set ups. Thanks for sharing!

[@aserta]

Big anvils are nice for the real estate they offer, but in reality, you're only ever using a small portion of them at any one time. You can make an anvil out of a sledge hammer and do just fine with small to medium projects, heck, with enough ingenuity, you can upscale to some big projects too.

[@BertramCraftAndWilderness]

@Joe Gregory Thanks. Yes need to make at least one axe on those small anvils... I will probably not make a wood cheat just because it's a bit heavy to bing along around in nature alone compared to just a backpack of some kind - but yes I will make a very small mobile blacksmith shop for future bushcraft trips and one or two of these small anvils will be part of the gear.

[@trashman49057]

Looking forward to them! Thank you

[@trashman49057]

I was thinking of the chest as a traveling item to use if you went to any of the Renaissance fairs or hammer in meetings. If you have those over there

[@BertramCraftAndWilderness]

@@trashman49057 We have a lot of that here as well... But I don't participant. I have no use of a cheat tool storage... At least not for the moment. If I do at some point will I make one.

[@matejprajnc3297]

one word- amazing:)

[@GoblinKnightLeo]

I like this design for an unpowered "power" hammer.

[@chasbader]

I think it's called a treadle hammer.
