When I saw you cut off that piece of hot metal and it flipped off I was glad it didn’t land on her bear feet! The talent you have using simple tools is impressive.

I have been forging metals for about 50 years and am glad to see younger people doing the same. Please accept this as advice to find an old smith that can show you how to manage your fire keeping it small and very hot. Anytime you see excessive thick smoke it is not forging hot and to large. One of the old Men that taught me said ; keep your fire no larger than a robins nest ; I love your videos my only complaint is that there are not more of them...Steve (medicine man)

Miss Helper looks all casual but she hits so hard it shakes the earth and the camera. She doesn't even break a sweat. Isn't leaf spring wonderful? It's my absolute favorite steel. Whatever tool it is, leaf spring seams to be able to handle the task at least C grade or better all the time. My knives have to be spring steel because I abuse them and they don't chip.

Absolutely we both agree. Without leaf springs so readily available I don’t know how we would survive. Thanks for the comment and the interaction we really appreciate it

@@CarvingAPath I have an outside shop a bit cruder than yours and if you partially burn some pole ends from trees and paint motor oil on them and put gravel in the post holes you could quickly make a serviceable shed and then wall it in cheaply. It works great and that adze came out beautiful. I didn't know that you quenched a temper. I usually let them air cool when they turn straw. What is the difference?

@CarvingAPath 3 жыл бұрын

@UCwtT9AU4ntuiNlWT7cINBOA yes exactly. A good way to do it is to take a scrap Piece of metal such as a railroad spike and soak up a good heat then set it out of the Forge and use that for your heat reservoir. Touch your knife blade to it with the cutting edge facing up holding the tip of the blade well clear and let the heat come up through the spine and watch the colors run towards the cutting edge. When you see a nice straw color appear on the cutting edge quench it and water and it will lock it into that temper. If the cutting edge has a nice straw color the whole spine should have an even peacock color. Leaving the spine fairly mild to prevent it from Being brittle

I'm going to have to treat myself to a couple of your adzes. I've purchased several, attempted to make a few, and have noted the same issues you've pointed out with most tools available. Down here in South Texas we have a lot of oak, cedar elm, mesquite...generally a crapload of hardwoods. The adzes you use look like fine tools that have the proper "heft". Looks like you're livin the dream Brother. ~Harris

Again WOW, can’t wait to go find a piece of green hardwood tomorrow and try it out. Thank you CAP this adze is great!

We are really glad that you are happy with your purchase. With every Adze that we make we feel a lot of anxiety because every ads is made by hand and bye Eye it is challenging to get the geometry exactly perfect. So we sight and shape and sight and shape over and over until we get it exactly right. It is very important To us that the adze you purchase from us brings you value and performs properly.So we really enjoy hearing feedback. If you have any questions about sharpening or anything let us know. Thanks again

16:55 what a beauty! And the beauty is in the mental&heart love-waves put into it. Theres just a feel you get when you put mental, emotional, spiritual effort into its creation;from the planning stage, prep stage,morphing into each step,and overcoming road blocks;then the home stretch, of final no-brainer finalities of shaping,sanding,finishing. THEN! try it out for performance! No rush is as good as reflecting on the frustration you had with the old design, compared with the new, amazing efficient, flawless performance!! You both radiate earthy reality of daily living.

Hello Mate, thanks for publishing this latest video on blacksmithing an adze. I admire your no-nonsense direct method of instruction. You get straight to the point and also cover the potential pitfalls. I like your blacksmithing setup with a bath in the same moulding as your forge. The heavy chain to hold the anvil onto the anvil block is also another simple but brilliant idea. I look forward to further videos from you but hope one thing can be corrected - we don’t know your name. I like to address a person, not a role. Cheers.

Yours is the only adze that has a handle shaped like yours. Your explanation for the shape makes sense. Searching on Google (images) for 'adze bowl carving' are all set up like the one you have to show a BADLY shaped one. How come there are not others with the handle like yours? Seems logical.
