Welcome to our channel, where today Skill Spotter taking you on an exciting journey into the world of axe manufacturing in the 21st century. If you've ever wondered how those trusty tools that have been used for centuries are produced on a large scale in the modern age, you're in for a treat!
We start by seeing how the steel for the axe heads is melted and forged into shape. Then, we follow the heads as they are heat treated and tempered to give them the perfect balance of hardness and toughness. Next, we see how the handles are fitted to the heads. Finally, we see how the axes are assembled.
This video is a must-watch for anyone interested in manufacturing, craftsmanship, or simply how things are made. It is also a great resource for axe enthusiasts who want to learn more about the process that goes into making their favorite tools.

Amazing how men can work in the squat position for hours on end. Not here in USA; I worked stell mills as a welder for a few years when I was young. Hard hats, saftey shoes, quotas, unions, lunchrooms; nothing like this. These workers are true artisans. 5 Stars++

Doing your health in doesn’t make you an artisan or remotely Alpha, bet these lads would gladly take a union, steel-toed boots and some eye protection. Bet you’ll live longer too.

@mjac8373 8 ай бұрын

I think you are mistaken about that. Who said anything about Alpha? Why throw that in the mix when it has nothing to do with the issue.? Beats me.I worked in a steel mill in the union; they would not allow you to do more than 11.2 hours on piecework. "Are you trying to ruin the rates?" union boss asked me. "Get lost for two hours a night I don't care where" he said. Is that Alpha? I don't knkow what you mean. These guys are doing that kind of work with almost nothing, It's not about what you live but how you live that matters in the end, no matter if you live to be sixty or ninety.@@HydroSnips

Interesting video I was a professional blacksmith for years and made mostly 18th century knives and axes I made lots of axes , unlike these folks I did it mostly by hand. No power hammers or electric forge blowers. Most of the axes were made out of sections or old wrought iron forge welded together with a steel cutting bit welded in. Got the wrought iron from old buggy wheels or strap hinges and just used old files for the steel bit

How do you break big bars of steel like that? I tried it myself beacause i have thick leaf springs. I tried making notches, weak points, welding, everything. It never broke. Is the steel quality poor and therefore brittle? Or is there a precise technique to weaken the steel?

@joshyingling 8 ай бұрын

Yes that grain structure of that steel is huge and is a very brittle material, I would say not suitable for an axe, especially that thin. But they make those out of whatever they can find over there. Leaf spring steel is one of the toughest ones you'll mess with when forging. Its typically 52100 or some alloy of sorts. I would cut that leaf spring slow with a metal saw or use a angle grinder and cut off disc or several
