Forging a Carpenters Axe

[@torbjornahman]

Nice!

Thank you kindly!

[@B-leafer]

Really nice job on that. All aspects. I like the more robust handle to get a better grip, more control. Absolutely beautiful blade. Even the sheath is beautiful, well done. Would love to own it.

Nice work! After watching some of your newer videos, it's amazing to see how much progress you have made in 3 years.

I'm no expert either but that looks very nice. I think especially the older and more rural the carpentry, the more prominent the axe. Many years ago when at Russian living history museum, while standing outside a very intricate wooden church, the guide told us it was an old Russian proverb "Give a peasant an axe and he'll build you a church." That might have been regional, or just local to that museum's repair shop, since I've never heard it since, but I think expect it's very true.

Thanks for the new euphemism. Now I'm going to tell people I'm off to the garage to sand my handle. :P

Great job on that beautiful axe. Looking forward to watching more of your videos.

Thank you very much, i look forward to make more videos!

Amazing work! Wow, that looks like a really good Bushcraft ax. Would love to have one.

You got a chisel plate! I'm so proud.

Nice axe. Well worked in the forging process. The added steel for the edge is good.

[@olfoggy4889]

Good work

[@anthonystrunk5360]

Beautiful axe.. great job!

Thank you!

[@anthonycaster9319]

Beautiful axe I was hoping to see how you were going to put the grooved slot in for pulling nails.

In Sweden we use hammers for that.

[@eisenbrecher4001]

When baking the Axe, you can put a cup of water into the oven so that the steel does not get too crispy.

[@Andy-Gibb]

[@Veyselacar]

[@LiamJPenn]

Awesome video and awesome axe!

Thanks alot!

[@odinallfather4560]

Awesome video Nils

Thanks man!

[@user-ez6de7mp9f]

Is your ax double bevel or flat on one side with a single bevel? I couldn’t tell

[@twistedpiforge2364]

Great job I really enjoyed the video, thank you.

Thank you very much!

[@johnproctor6438]

I love watching these videos, but it always makes me think about why the smiths were talked about like big hulking galoots. I can’t help but feel my hands, wrists, forearms, shoulders, neck, biceps, triceps, latis, abs, flexors, etc screaming in agony with trying to hammer all that metal down and shape it into a useable tool

[@atelier_nilsson]

Nice work!

Thank you!

[@손병태-v7z]

안녕...?! 너무 훌용한 도끼 🪓 입니다. 가지고 싶네요.건강하길...

[@Marcelinho82]

Is the back of the Carpenters Axe' head meant for hammering nails in? Great Work, Nils. Looks beautiful !

[@haukeschots9330]

From where do you get your mild steel stock?

I buy it from a Swedish steel supplier online. Montano.se is the address

[@alexanderfordham1735]

What type of metal did you use?

[@matteugenecastromayor1556]

the only axe you need for zombie apocalypse

[@madswellejus]

Fantastisk!

[@hampusnilsson2185]

Snygg o bra video Nils! Ett litet tips är o lägga takpap eller silikon under smidesstädet så slipper du ringande!

Har funderat på det, men det är detdär med att få tummen ur som är problemet ;)

[@mitchellcornwell2347]

Did you ever find out how it performed?

[@johnmutton799]

How much?

[@graemebrumfitt6668]
