Tomahawk from a Rasp Blacksmithing Part 46

[@thaiguysabu]

i love the way you utilize the other hammer with the vice to create the eye. i'm really now starting to want to create my own forging set. great stuff as always. oh, and the fact that you leave the dirt on your clothes and on your face for the video makes it all more real. dave, you are the real deal, and you shall be forever appreciated. thank you.

[@stirfrywok2927]

I've been glued to the new cooking series, and KZbin has been showing up these old videos, so now I'm glued to those. Love this

[@Mosely]

I can watch these blacksmithing videos all day Dave. Please keep them coming.

[@thomaskearns7625]

Dave, your channel has never uploaded bad quality videos, no matter what the topic you always aim to entertain... much love from ireland

[@yoji58]

My wife's gonna kill me. I keep getting all excited by learning stuff from you and end up spending money haha. Now I have to find all your blacksmithing videos and watch them...Thank you. You provide more service in one video than most do on entire channels.

[@jorgamund07]

As a side note, thanks for showing the finished product first. It's easier to visualize why you're making specific changes to the metal during the process, when you know what all the intermediate steps build up to.

[@agbrown111]

Your blacksmith videos are my favorite. Thanks for the awesome videos.

[@SantinoDeluxe]

love your work, that video with the Amish blacksmith was really great to watch too, im happy you put these up. great job

[@TandTWilderness]

That's awesome Dave. I wanna learn how to do that!!! That's a skill not many people have this day in time. Thank for the video

[@kullcraven]

Hello dave, it is very interesting watching you do this. I actually watched the vid where you made the forge from a brake drum. I walked an old railroad track that had coal left from the old steam engines. Walked miles collecting coal to use for the forge. I used a bathroom ceiling fan for my fan. It worked great , i made a couple knives with this forge, thanks so much, you doing this makes me want to set it up again. take care bro thank you

[@killmimes]

You sir....I state with all humility....are the man ...thank you for your knowledge and guidance.

[@randybrown7629]

Have done some knives from leaf springs the weld part very helpful for a novice such as myself thanx Dave

[@nathanielbutkovich3039]

Hey great youtuber you are one of the few who replies to his viewers stay awesome dave

[@mshroomguy]

beautiful work sir. its always fun and very educational to see the blacksmithing process of different tools.

[@okieheadhunter]

great video dave. just one thing to add. when your heattreating carbon steel it will go nonmagnetic when it reachs the right temp. i am a little bit colorblind so i use the magnet when the magnet dosen't stick it is time ffor the oil and.it is also a real good bar bet.

[@BeachBow]

Always amazed at what you can create with your forge. Love watching these vids!

[@SuperC457]

Great work Dave, true craftsmen. You should auction some of that stuff off.

[@moonbear1st]

very cool bud many thanks for taking the time to show us how to do this much appreciated..

[@DelawareDigger]

Very nice blade from rasp my friend. Thank you, Terry.

[@DaveBardin]

Looks like you learned a great bit, Nice hawk. I love this series.

[@themoodybobby1]

when i talked with Mr. miller we discussed quenching a knife blade north south to help preventing warping. just a tide bit for those who may not have known that. Sounds wild but it truly does work lol.

[@moreespresso4660]

Still coming back to this great video hoping to forge my own tomahawk one day lol

[@YaddaYaddaWarden]

Another great video! Thank you, Dave!

[@neapedoff]

Could you do one on the tinctures + salves you keep around and why? I'd really enjoy it, your herbalism vids are a good time. Thanks, Dave!

[@OKBushcraft]

Well worth my time watching. Thanks.

[@NordboDK]

Your hammering technique has improved a lot. Good to see :)

[@WayOfTheWoods]

Dave, I was inspired by your work! Even though I don't have an anvil, forge pr blacksmithing tools ( or at least not yet ;), i took and Oxygen Cetalene torch, vice grips and an inch thick block of steel... My blacksmithing set up! I had two old files but i burnt a hole in te middle of one :/ The other however, i complete apart from the final weld (i can't forge weld:() and reshaping the blade! As you so often emphasise, improvisation is they key! Many thanks, Reuben.

[@SomeOne-lc2pc]

The blacksmithing series, you inspired me to try black smithing ( it's harder to blacksmith with a camp fire burning pine ) I have succeed at making a knife and other things. thanks

[@Edsmedley]

Thanks Dave!

[@1koolhick]

You've come a long way. Nice work.

[@Stormrider71182]

Just wanted to clarify that this comment was not meant as a criticism or a critique of your work or the tomahawk design, I honestly doubt I could have done a better weld than that. I was simply offering another point of view from a fellow smith. Have been learning the craft since I was 10 (now 21) and I also have trained as a tinsmith and participated in local re-enacting events. Regards, Storm.

[@saladfork8]

Very nice work!

[@johndoebro9724]

i really want to make a back yard forge now great video dave

[@HeartofTexasArmory]

Nice Hawk! Keep up the practice, you will only get better.

[@Ebiczebulanious]

Nice work! That's definitely an art I have little experience with.

[@spraynpray]

This video was awesome.

[@charlesdomanski3745]

Mr. Canterbury, just a question or two, to be honest, is there anything you can't do?????? I mean besides walking around the world barefoot.??? HAHAHAHA. Honestly, you are one awesome dude. I really miss the show with you and Cody. I thought it was so intelligent and entertaining and informative. How could anyone watch that show and not come away with a very useful piece of information or two. I know the two of you didn't always see eye to eye, but it was still a great show.

[@knifemaker2472]

Been a fan long BEFORE you made it to TV. I make knives and hawks from stock removal/forging. Great weld, but in the heat-treating...you only 'quenched' the blade, it was not tempered. I.E. 1095 hi-carbon, as quenched, will be around 63 on hardness scale, THEN, I temper in oven at 490" 3 times for an hour each....this draws back hardness to around 57-58. Just quenching, and leaving at 62 is too brittle. And yes, on the right track leaving the rest of hawk unquenched. I only "edge quench."

[@Stormrider71182]

Hey Dave just a suggestion, instead of cutting off all that extra metal why not fold it over and weld it back on itself, then you would have more material to create the cutting edge of the hawk and more weight behind the blade. Again just a suggestion, I've watched just about all of your videos and was a fan of duel survival. Currently working on my own common man kit. Best wishes, Storm.

[@MrSIXGUNZ]

great stuff as always sir !! Blessings.

[@daviddrinen1265]

just asking why don't you take you lap all the way to the end so you have more steel to flare the bit out

[@caleb4165]

great video

[@TheGreatAK6153]

Hey Dave, cool video. Think we could see the finished product with a handle and everything?

[@BlackRiverBushcraft]

Was this your first go-round at forging a tomahawk head? If so, it sure turned out mighty fine bro. Can't wait to see it fitted with handle and how well it performs! Awesome skill you're learning and thanks for letting us come along for the ride.

[@henrypuyi5485]

Dave I need to get me a forge! Great vid.

[@wyattoneable]

Great job.

[@nar4790]

I will forward all of the contact information as soon I confirm everything. Cheers! Nick

[@1tulip]

Hey, Dave! Great videos. Just wondering if we will get to see the process of handle fitment for a piece like this.

[@cujo55544]

I really like the shape of this one compared to the first tomahawk you forge welded. Though, I would have sharpened the beard. (I have a CS Trail Hawk I modded with a bit of a sharpened beard, and I find it helps immensely for splitting and carving work)

[@brentbrown5659]

Dave could you upset the blade side to get more metal there to make a larger cutting area thanks

[@joshh9200]

Hey Dave it would be great if you could show us one with a handle on it.

[@Shannon_Lacey]

What a fantastic job on that tomahawk!

[@irekirek123]

Hey Dave are you going to make a video showing the handle being make or are you going to buy a handle. Thanks, Eric.

[@8BitHawlucha]

That's friggin sweet. Let's see it in action!

[@kc9pxz]

vary nice dave

[@TomHamby1970]

Love all your videos Dave.I saw where you hardened the blade at the end but are you gonna temper it?

[@CharisWilliams]

Keep up the great work!

[@TheCANADIANbaconXx]

Hey Dave, does it matter what kind of oil is used in heat treating? Could i just use old motor oil out of my truck? Great videos keep up the Amazing work.

[@Homewrecker100]

Hey dave, just found a blacksmithingvid of a hunting knife, looked really interesting great skill of the blacksmith. Just search for: Blacksmithing of a Hunting Knife in tosa japan. You might learn some of it, i did for sure. Keep up the great work, thanks for all your tips and tricks!

[@meatloafzombie]

Would be cool if you did a simple contest to win a tomahawk made by you.

[@Atkrdu]

What do you mean? I understand having a thick wedge-shaped blade for better chopping & splitting (I bought a Roselli axe instead of a Wetterlings largely for that reason), but I don't know if that's what you mean. If so, how did you do it?

[@SKKB28]

How's it throw Dave? It looks great!

[@survivewithout]

that answered a lot of the questions I had from your last video. thanks. is there a good place to get coal or can I use something else?

[@sacriptex5870]

hey dave weld with normal sand... works!

[@xzekkx]

Dave, I have seen you and the other man that did smithing on you channel use a hammer head in a vice to shape the eye. I was wondering if this is just to make it circular of if it is the diameter or what? also I was wondering how to make the eye a certain size to put on a premade handle?

[@Wulable]

Its like the fuller on a sword blade, just removing unneeded material to reduce weight I'm guessing.

[@nerblebun]

David, I will now amaze you with my psychic ability. Drum roll please... buurrruuummmmmmmmmmmmm... " At some point before making this informative video, your nose itched and....... you scratched it." Cymbal crash..... thank you.

[@losolomo]

hey brother; where might I be able to pick up a forge, such as you have?

[@NuclearParadox]

Would it have made the tomahawk any stronger or weaker if you had folded the front end on itself before making the bit?

[@ethanw08]

Where can you purchase the sureweld powder. I searched eBay and amazon with no luck. I did find it on google but they were only selling it in Europe. Any advice on where to get it? Surely its not at home depot or Lowe's right???

[@sticknstonesbrkbones]

Dave, I am impressed man, that is one heck of a good looking tomahawk! Well done. Will Miller be around again? and when is the next class for that, and what does it cost? It looks to me that you have this down so if Miller isn't around do you cover this in your course? Also, last question I promise, what does that powder really do, and is it possible to forge weld without it? Thx

[@bringonthepheng]

Dave, discovery has to do another survival show with you. How about Dave vs wild

[@Outlawme1990]

Dave what do you think of the 4 in 1 woodsman as a multi tool option?

[@Redshift313]

Netflix has just added the Second Season of Dual Survival... enjoy

[@zacquolex2524]

Or something like Survivor-man Re-Made. In my opinion he already is good enough with cameras to go out a few days to a week, and really show us what he has to say. By himself. The name obviously should have something to do with his Pathfinder School. That'd be a 4.5 - 5 Star show.

[@wyattmclaughlin3513]

why do you put that crescent cut on the bottom side of the blade?

[@chasefinley7088]

is there gonna be anyway to buy an axe head like that?

[@samuelmorrison3142]

Dave, will you PM me on how you built your forge please? Been trying to get into blacksmithing, but obviously it's hard to do without a good forge. Thanks! -Sam

[@NIGHTSTALKER973]

well theres one thing i can say i have never ever ever seen david with his hat or bandanna off

[@ParadoxdesignsOrg]

You can weld with Borax?

[@mattvanwatermulen7422]

What type of oil do u use for quenching?

[@75925mike]

what's the multi purpose of this item, well ..., since it's a non bearded version, you could sharpen the top of the blade and it could be a combo froe/ax.

[@devildroid667]

Next rotor I swap out, i'm building a small forge.

[@marrone415]

Awesome. I think you should try to make a Native American style tomahawk, with a knob or spike on the other side. If you can.

[@rednick2658]

I want one!

[@trevormcallister9002]

why do you use the brake drum forge rather than your original one

[@codyg1718]

Dave, I have been trying to order the pathfinder trade knife for some time now but it is always out of stock please get back to me if there is an alternitive way of buying one. P.S. Great video makes me want to make a forge right now!

[@BowHunter5100]

You are my idol!!

[@SuperBrodie01]

Dave,maybe I missed it, but what kind of oil do you use for the final treatment?

[@clantonaw]

Dave, at what temp do you add the flux. Is the the steel still hot?

[@CyprinusCarpioDiem]

Have you smithed before any of these videos in the series? Or is it something you recently started?

[@MrGasparotto1978]

you may look for it under other names,such as flux powder

[@DFX2KX]

See, this makes me sad I'm in an apartment, and not in a house with a yard, because blacksmithing is fun.

[@leveractionexecutioner3483]

what kind of oil is that?

[@dhingus6699]

I'm almost tempted to unsubscribe. Just to subscribe again. Truly a fantastic video. It was an eye opener for me.

[@oldschoolwithamoderntwist6074]

,,,very nice,,,,

[@thorsrevenge1998]

Do you pre heat your quench oil?

[@GodseyKnives]

Hey brother what brand was that rasp ?

[@Spicymchagis]

For Sale?

[@peacefulearth222]

is that hawk head for sale?
