Lmao

You ain’t got that power anymore

You talking 793 AD, or now? If so, I recommend working your way up the Thames on your longship to London. Can't even carry a pocket knife there now, easy pickings like Lindisfarne.

The Vikings did a lot of good work getting rid of all those annoying irregular plurals the first time around. Finish the job! Childs, not children. Womans, not women, etc.

@@carpediem3391 I ain't got no boat, and rowers are too expensive to hire.

I personally prefer and recommend making an axe not by punching a hole through it but by making a "double axe" and then folding it back in on itself . It will teach you a bit more of required techniques it's also how it used to be done. On top of all that it doesent require you to make any additional holes or slits in order to add a hardened piece of steel to the edge. And tbh I'm quite surprised why more people don't make it like that

What's a good way to get started in the craft? I've always been fascinated by blacksmithing and would like to try my hand at it a bit

@@justinkedgetor5949 you do not need much , 1.Source of air 2.fire 3.thing to hit red hot piece of steel with 4. Thing to lay the red hot piece of steel on while hitting it. 1.For airflow I used a vacuum cleaner and placed the hose on the exit side of vacuum cleaner 2.for fire place I just layed a bunch of bricks around on the ground in such a manner so that the charcoal gets most air. I also just dug a hole in the ground 3.Simple hammer. 4.just find any old big chunk of iron/steel. I started with a railroad piece , then I upgraded it by making a horn on it . After a bit I found a steel plate with some holes in it which I simply placed on a log . The point is it's not that hard to start(you won't be forging swords instantly but it's a starting point and a learning point after which you can build up your blacksmithing journey. PS. I didn't add a thing to hold a red hot piece of steel with because that's optional :p. I started by mostly using longer pieces of steel that way I didn't need thongs and for pieces that were to small I used simple pliers or vice grips.

Find a class near you, or someone who has been doing it for a while. You will be a lot farther ahead once you know the basics.@@justinkedgetor5949

PLEASE, PICK ME !!! I want the axe !!!

Love the way you explain your reasoning for doing each step and how you decide the order to do them.

This would make a great axe to have as a sample to aspire to in my own blacksmithing

Been trying to get one of these for awhile now between this and the small aplungen… this one seems a bit more stocky, I like it. Well if this is all I need to do to enter the giveaway then here is my comment, and I’m already subscribed. Should we recommend your page and work as well ??? @nilsogren

I'm already subscribed. Nice axe as always.
