Beautiful pipe tomahawk

You are a real natural , with a true great gift for communication . Your videos are the most professional out there. I agree , Simeon England is a great guy.

You need to put a hollowed , cleaned, filed and polished squirrel leg bone into the smoking end to act as the extension piece for the mouth to draw smoke from. You did very nice work on that pipe hawk. I'm a blade smith so I appreciate the work that went into forging that.

Peter Thanks for the Pipe Tomahawk History Lesson! Great Job.

How you talk is part of who you are. Don’t change anything.

A Beautiful job Peter! The set up you had to drill that perfect hole is something to behold! It’s funny how we learn these simple methods from masters of their art. My Mentor was born in 1889 and died 1981. Aside from being a Dear Friend he taught me well. I was in my 20s and he visited my shop one summer day. He commented on the smells of wood and shellac, the delightful memories it created for him. He said, this will make you mad but you see all this work you have here? It’s going to take you 6 or 8 weeks to do. It would take me about two weeks. I couldn’t believe he could make me mad but it did a bit. Then John said, it will take you longer because you have to think about it. I don’t think about that it but just do it. In later years Peter I realized what John was saying, that you become a master of your work when you don’t have to think about it anymore, you just do it. I’m sure you can relate to this. You’ve said you’re not a master of none but a jack of all trades, EH? In reality you are a master of many by my observation. Experience in living life makes us masters in many ways. Baking a fine apple pie is an art. So everyone is an artist in some respect, even if it’s relating well with others. I know my words are lengthy here but you are inspiring Peter! About tobacco/alcohol and the Old/New World. The Indigenous used their tobacco in sacred ways while Europeans used alcohol in sacred ways as well, to seal a deal, toasting and so on. So the sacred things in each culture became addictions to the other. It’s a good example of abusing a sacred thing and the results in doing so. Well I’ve become long winded, or I should say long buttoned quite enough,eh? Hey, I’ve always enjoyed eh, eh? Kind Thanks once again Peter! You are a Master indeed of many things. One of them is sharing knowledge and wisdom. As one of your fans that you provide joy to, I am very grateful to your Clan! Peace, Joy, Abundance and Life! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania

Beautiful job, Peter. As always!

Good afternoon from Syracuse NY USA brother and everyone else thank you for sharing this live history videos

That was festinating about the use of the different Tomahawk heads and their use...

Amazing result Peter. Grand piece of art indeed and an object of contemplation.

Old timer thank you for the history lesson I enjoyed that , sometimes KZfaq just nails it with the algorithm 🤘

Another amazing episode of the best show on KZfaq. Keep it up.

Beautiful piece of craftsmanship!

Delightful. As always, the tale you tell, interwoven with history and personal accounts is well conceived and presented. Thanks to both you and Cathy .

What a piece of art. And to be able to break it in with a peaceful smoke after the long journey of learning to make it.

July 28th to the 30th, the Gunmakers fair in Kempton, PA. You can bring your tomahawk and enter it for judging. All the gunmakers and accoutrement makers will be their with their wares. You would love it.

Brilliant work! Don't forget to keep sage in the bowl & stem to keep out evil spirits when storing the pipe........ATB

A fine piece of history recreated by great craftsmen, and thanks for the history lesson Peter

Hey Peter! My Cousin SFC George Meltzer carried a H & B Tomahawk and a sawed off 12 gauge Shotgun in his multiple tours of Vietnam. He referred to them both as, "Ideal weapons for an Infantryman.", and he would have been in a position to know! His real life experiences have had a great influence on my attempts to reenact an 18th Century Frontiersman. You have made a good looking Pipe tomahawk that will serve you well for a long time to come.

Great job. I would have liked to see how you wrapped the leather on the handle to do the final mounting of the pipe tomahawk though.

Again, love the wee bits of history. I had no idea that tomahawks are being used even today. Fascinating. ❤️

Wonderful job Peter! I had the pleasure of meeting Simeon England at the Fort Frederick Market Fair last year. His presentation on the “tomerhawk” was greatly informative. I purchased one of his hawks as well

That is a beautiful Pipe Tomahawk you made Peter, and a wonderful video you and Cathy made. Thank you.

A thing of beauty and a joy to behold forever! Thank you for sharing, and all that you do.

Well done Peter! A beautiful - and working - pipe tomahawk. You look very relaxed and satisfied in the last scene. Enjoy!

Thank you Peter for another Great lesson in American history I never learned in school!👍

Peter! That was a "just plain fascinating" historic account! Love when you give all of us a "wee bit of history!"

Congratulations,. Peter, you did it!! A very great accomplishment in your life.

Congratulations, Peter. That is not an easy project to "ace" on the first attempt. My best to all.

This has got to be one of my favorites! Smok'in that Tomahawk! Thanks so much!

It's always a good day when I sit down for lunch and there's a new video from Peter and Cathy. 👍👍

Afghanistan vet, 2007 to 2008 then 2010 to 2012 (not a typo I did a back to back tour) I carried an SOG Fusion hawk (replica of the Vietnam hawk) just like he shows when talking about Afghanistan and I still have it.

A fine work of art by a master craftsman. And a great history review.

What a beautiful hawk Mr.Pete!!!!! I was so happy to see a new video...I was needing a wee bit of a Woodland Escape! Take care....Robin

love the Tomahawk. I have several.

That truly is grand. Thank you both for the lesson and the uplifting feeling of history revisited.

Thanks for another top video diary, I've seen all your others and still eagerly look forward to your new offerings. Wishing you continued good health and inspiration; to you and yours. Kind regards, Steve from darkest Shropshire, England (Still loyal to the King.)

The tomahawk looks fantastic! Thanks for the bit of history too!

Very cool Tomahawk, amazing how Craftsmanship brings to life these wonderful tools. You and Cathy paint a wonderful Portrait of the past.

Making this movie was a wonderful idea, thank you very much. Unfortunately there are only few movies about making pipe tomahawks.

That's a beautiful finished pipe hawk Peter! Nice work! Please don't change your way of speaking. I love meeting people from all over the world and hearing their different accents and slang words. It's part of who we are. My Pennsylvania accent always gets people cracking jokes and I love it.😅

veľmi KRÁSNA práca! pozdravujem všetkých zo Slovenska !!!

Good afternoon my friend. Well done on the working tomahawk, you should be proud. As always I appreciate the history lesson that you share. Tobacco is a bad habit for sure and very difficult to break the addiction. 9 months now I've been smoke free. Have a blessed weekend and thank you for sharing. Appologies for having not emailed you back yet. Be safe and we'll see you down the road....

Outstanding!

Wauw this man is amazing! He's giving a personal reaction to every comment in this section.

Grew up in Buffalo, Canadians and Canada were not really thought to be foreign. Always smile when I here a Canadian accent and drinking a Labatts. 🇺🇸🇨🇦 Great content

Thanks for another great video Peter and Cathy. The finished product looks pretty.

1st timer here... Man, well done! This pipe axe video just earned you another well deserved subscription. Every kid should see you teach, so they may be inspired to do something constructive with their hands.

I'd take a pull on it with you any day! My wife and I quit smoking 11-12 years ago, and to this day I miss my pipe more than anything else. The smell of it in early fall was amazing. I can remember my great grandfather going directly out to the plant and removing the leaves to fill his pipe with. Nothing has that aroma. The old tobacco barn still has that fragrance in it and it hasn't been used in 50 years. Now days tobacco is used to actually treat certain cancers, it is truly a medicinal herb!

Yet another great video, Peter! I need to fire up my forge before the weather gets too hot down here in Kentucky, and that is certainly a worthy project. Great job, and an heirloom piece for sure! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

So many accomplishments its mind blowing.!

i used to smoke a pipe. The best smoking pipe i ever had was not an old briar or meerschaum, but a reproduction, long stemmed clay pipe I bought in Williamsburg. a nice video Pete and Kathy

THANK YOU for this 'wee bit of history!' YOUR pipe tomahawk is coming along splendidly. Personally, I regret that their best use (other than smoking) was as a weapon. I had always assumed that the sharp edge was good for cutting. Now I know better.

Peter! Another absolute gem of a short film from you both! In this busy modern world people need to step out of time and just enjoy the old ways. Oh and by the by, you speak the Kings English with a lilt to it which is perfect for your work on here. Thanks.

Nice job! And it smokes! Very authentic indeed.

Beautiful pipe-hawk

Peter I was privileged to hold that pipe hawk head in my hand along with the original hawk at Pricketts Fort under Tohey’s fly. Thrilled to see it came out to be a beautiful working piece! Did I spy the buffalo hair hat in this video you won at the auction? Great video too!

Every American conflict from the French & Indian war to present, has used the tomahawk. Also the Delaware ( Lenape ) mixed dried sumac leaves to their tobacco giving it a unique smell.

Awesome pipe, great presentation, thoroughly enjoyed the history

My ancestors have made a fortune off tobacco, both in but you could say he was Scotch IrishVA and later in GA. I vividly remember seeing the check my grandfather got for his tobacco crop in the mid 1950’s. It was for $76,000 and change. He farmed 2,500 acre s in South GA. He smoked Prince Albert. In a pipe. He was a retired roundhouse Superintendent for the ACL Railroad. His family was from Scotland.

That is a beautiful piece, great craftsmanship 👍😁💪🏻

Thank you for explanation the difference between wood cutting axes and tomahawks. Greatly appreciated your education videos. God bless!

Hi Peter, excellent piece! You always bring great education, craftsmanship and history to your viewers. Good job buddy, take care see ya on the next 18th century adventure!👍

As always a pleasure watching your videos with plenty of knowledge and information!!! Thank you for sharing!!!

Very cool! Thank you for sharing!

awesome as usual my Canadian neighbor.

that is indeed grand ! awesome watching you make this

Always wondered how they were put together. Thanks for sharing.

Great video Thank you.

Very nice job on the hawk Peter.😊

Thank you

Wow. Very well done. That pipe, I mean tomahawk is beautiful. Very interesting concept.

Just finished Emerson's nature and Thoreau's Walden....much wisdom to be found and I believe you have tapped into it sir , hope to find our homestead soon to begin our journey

Love your channel. It's full of good information and history. That's a work of art hang it up on the wall please.

I do like the history of the tomahawk/belt axe. A dedicated tomahawk can indeed be a viscous weapon. I’ve probably abused several of the Cold Steel line by using them for wood working

Great video with excellent content as usual.

Great video Peter….

Another fantastic video...great job Peter and Cathy...very informative (and a new record in wardrobe changes 😀)

Excellent job Peter!

What a great video really interesting, so keepen a coming. Many thanks

The blacksmith collaboration videos are fascinating. It is a craft that is an art form i some ways. Your bellows turned out really well, it does the job superbly. I noticed that Beau pronounced "process" with a log "O" as does Peter. As a guy that worked as a process engineer I find the long O pronouncement very different from my experience. The pipe tomahawk is a great replica of the original design. It's so cool that the tools and implements that you folks made are actually put t use. Your wood finishing is awesome, the handle is quite nice.

that leather gasket trick sounds good. I have had a tomahawk that I've used for a while (maybe two decades) and the head finally gotten loose.

That turned out awesome! Smokes as good as it looks I'd say. Well done!

Greetings sir , what a wonderful piece of history you have recreated ! It looks superb indeed . Your channel is by far the most interesting and most educating I have seen in todays world . Bless you , your Family and friends . Merci mon bon Ami !

Terrific! I'm glad you demonstrated! I was a wee bit skeptical it would work! 😊

That drill set up was very cool

Appreciate your efforts and dedication! I am curious about the gasket you mention. It's the first I have heard of this and would like to know more and possibly see it in the assembly stage. Thanks again and keep your powder dry!

Thank you for the video 🌲🌲🌲

Fantastic video, thank you very much,, 👍

Just a gorgeous job on that pipe tomahawk! And I love the wee bit of history in your excellent videos!

That is a beautiful pipe tomahawk. Very finely made. Nice work. interesting to see the originals to. As a pipe smoker and a tomahawk enthusiast, I strangely don't yet have a pipe hawk. I have smoked one though. Sitting around the fire at a rendezvous I shared one with a couple fellas. One of them said " do ya suppose that back then, sanitation being what it was, that they would have washed the residue of dried blood out of the bowl before firing it up?" Anyway.. I always enjoy your videos. I don't mind the aye at all. I don't live far from Canada and a lot of people around here say that to. Although the accent is slightly different. Take care

Hearing someone end a sentence with "eh" takes me back to a happier time and place.

I have a brace of pipe tomahawks hanging on my wall. The plains Indians used to smoke a pipe to commune with the spirits, to contemplate a solution to a problem to share with friends they met along the way. It was the (I phone) of it's time to them. I've tried bone pipes. I found them surprising smooth.

Thank you for another great video. Only thing I wish I see is more details about drilling the handle, assembly this brain tan hide and drilling the smoking channel, it would explain a lot of details I'm very curious about, but I hope it's not the only pipe hawk you will ever made, so maybe next time I can see more about final steps and details of assembling the thing together as final product. Wish you good luck and sending greetings from Poland.

Took me awhile to get to see this video, great job on the tomahawk pipe and this history. The new tomahawk sure looks like the ones that were used in Vietnam. My cousin was there and he showed me his. Very interesting with the leather to tighten up the pipe to the wood. Can't wait for the next video Peter. Keep your powder dry

Very nice, Sir. Thankyou

I listened to your presentation and the next day I learned about a covert force of U.S. Rangers that used Tomahawks in Vietnam. The Vietcong and the NVA were quite demoralized because of them. A good teacher inspires further research. Thanks for the fine video.

Good day Peter & Cathy. I must say Peter you are certainly full of it, history that is;) I love your 18th century horizontal boring mill, would it have other uses besides pipe making? Cheers from the Kinlin Hwy

Recent subscriber and very much enjoying your videos sir.

Nicely done. I like your video. 👍👍
