Its feel good to see a "messy" workshop full of tools, materials, dirt and other stuff. Reminds me of my grandpa's place (and my father's and mine as well). Many YT channels has workshops too clean and feels a little staged to me. The axe is real nice and the intro was great.

Thanks for the build, AOC ! Luv the "old look" with modern methods. A pretty cool opening scene for the build (had the 8 yr old in all of us charging out with you !).

For etching a design I've always liked to use a resist stencil (vinyl, wax, nail polish, even electrical tape) and current run through a dauber with salty water grounded through the piece. Works very quickly, is easy and cheap, and gives a little more natural feel while still being accurate.

That Viking axe turned out great, I have seen some originals from the Viking museum in Norway, your axe looks much better. Thanks for sharing.

As a 30+ year practicing Heathen, I really appreciate videos like this, especially your intricate take on it with runic details and all. Just one thing, though... The axe was a weapon and tool of war, as well as a daily self-defense tool. As such, when I build mine soon (based on your video, of course) I like war runes like Tyr, Thurisaz and Hagalaz. Asgard forbid I ever have to use it that way but if I do, I will rain blood and hell on whoever. Just sayin'...

Dustin, you are truly talented! The axe turned out amazingly and it’s still viable to use for cutting wood! Great work!
@TheArtofCraftsmanship4 ай бұрын
Thanks for the kind words. In the end, it’s still an axe, so it’s gotta be usable👍🏼. The Vikings would have used their axes for both daily chores and battle, so I had the same thought.

Beginner question. Why doesn't anyone stain and treat the handle before mounting the head?
@TheArtofCraftsmanship4 ай бұрын
For me personally, I want the handle finish to be the last thing I do. That way when clamping in and out of the vise to fit and hang the head I’m not messing up the handle. I have oiled the handle before hanging in the past, but I haven’t found that it makes much of a difference in the longevity of the hang. Another reason is, In my opinion, the head seats onto the handle much better when only contacting raw wood. Thanks for the interesting question and for watching.

Awesome video and channel. Does the heat from the grinding affect the temper of the cutting edge?
@TheArtofCraftsmanship3 ай бұрын
To avoid affecting the temper, I kept the blade cool throughout the grinding process by quenching it often in water.

Both axe builds are at the bottom of the list because they're just historically inaccurate AF

Well, the shape of mine is a direct historical shape replica, although of course it’s made from a new head. Either way, loads of people are watching and enjoying the video. Thanks for watching.

@@TheArtofCraftsmanship yeah maybe for a wood cutting axe but your video title is for a battle axe and they did not have wood cutting axe handles. It's not historically accurate to what they would use in battle. You should probably check out shadiversity or scholaglatoria and also pieces from a museum
@user-wx3wx5vy3q3 ай бұрын
@@TheArtofCraftsmanship I believe you just made it into the shape of a modern wood cutting axe handle and that's exactly what it looks like. It's cool don't get me wrong, just towards the bottom of the list of stuff that's been made for this challenge. It is a challenge and people are voting.
