Forging a Carving Axe: From Start to Finish
Рет қаралды 41,682
Жыл бұрынIn this video I show you how I forge a carving axe.
This is the 3rd prototype in collaborations with the spoon crank.
We aim to make these available later this year.
Thank you for watching!

Nice to see this tool being created and it was an honor to test this carving axe. I axed out a few spoon blanks and quite liked how it performed in stock removal as well as the finer to the design line cuts and slices. Just two days ago I sent it on to the next carver/tester ... Odyssey is well named.

I love watching blacksmithing videos. The only knives I've ever made were from stock removal and just as a hobby. But I had a question I always wondered about blacksmithing. Does the steel on your blacksmithing tools lose its hardness over time since it's so often touching red hot steel? Always wondered about that.

I use steel that has some air hardening capabillities. Sure I have to dress them some times but thats rare. So the right steel for the job helps alot

5:35 I thought a good Viking like you would be using a small 2 handle draw knife instead of that potato peeler. :) This would be a fun axe to carve out some small totem poles with. The heavy butt on the handle is really nice as a hold and a bit of a counterweight.

Nice video Nils! What kind of finish do you use to blacken the axes in the end? Is it a finish you can use an all kind of forged steels?

Love the shape of these axes, and your take on the carved handle was the mutts nuts! How was the ash as a handle, I have a fair bit of ash so was thinking of trying it out! TFS, GB :)

I personally love 4340 for making drifts. I like it way more than h13

Did you make the drifts and all the hammers you use? Just curious. In most blacksmith/bladesmith videos, the drifts just magically appear. I am wondering what material they are made of.

Yes I made them my self. I make a few drifts every year as they get worn out. I make them from 4340 steel. i have a video where I make one.

Для такого массивного топора рукоять неправильная. У любого топора для уменьшения отдачи рукоять походит через перпендикуляр вектору удара. У длинной рукояти это не главное потому что за счёт длины угол уменьшается. У короткого топорища как это комфортно рубить будет только пяткой.
