Beginner's Guide to Forging Axes: A Step-by-Step Guide
Hello!
In this video I try to show how you can go about forging an axe, as a beginner smith. So no power tools what so ever. Only hand tools.

@ I would have liked to see a bit more of the finished axe too.. just a thought tho. Cheers!
Absolutely Extraordinary to see this done exclusively with hand tools! It inspired me to get out on the forge and give this a go!
Thanks for the video Nils, and the bonus anvil review. For any Aussies or Americans that didn't know, C45 is equivalent to 1045.
Great video Nils! It's good to see a professional forge in the same way a beginner must start. Thank you for the inspiration!
My sons and I were absolutely enthralled by this excellent demonstration. Thank you, from Budapest!
Nice to see a well presented video showing the process, without using expensive power tools and aids that many of us cannot afford.
It's so good seeing people go back to basics, the axe came out fantastic
Loved this video Nils. Hope you make an entire series like this!
Nils, thanks for posting this. We had a conversation a couple weeks ago about me learning to forge my own axe someday. This was the perfect example of how simple the process can be. Thanks you for sharing. I’m inspired to go make one now.
Absolutely loved the video! I would love to see an entire series like this where you explain the step by step process, makes it very obtainable for a beginner to get into. And as always the end result looked fantastic!
This is a great tutorial, I would love to start forging my own projects with the same dedication. Taking it step by step makes it easy for everyone to learn and understand. Well done
Very inspiring Nils! As a bladesmith, you inspire me to try my hand at axe making.
I friking love this, I’m a beginner and I’m learning as much as I can, thank you so much for giving me a new skill!
I felt the call of the forge. Im just starting off and im learning through lots of videos. Im going to start making my home made brick forge tomorrow and set up my small anvil and get some good burning coal tomorrow after taking the teash to the dump. No trash pick-up out where im at.
Love the simple yet effective design of this axe - definitely inspiring me to try one by hand as soon as I get a drift!
It's fantastic to see this done with all hand tools.
Amazing work finally someone that doesn’t use power tools that I don’t have thank you very much
I love how you intentionally went with all hand tools. I sometimes do that just to get back to basics. Very cool axe!
There is a feeling that comes over me when I step back and use hand tools. I really feel it when I use a good file on steel. Very enjoyable video. Thanks.
Beautiful work! Thank you for the clear instructions.
Thank You Nils for taking the time to teach us.
I look forward to trying this out. Thanks for the video!
What a great break down if the process! Thanks for sharing!
Incredible work and skill. Well done!
Great video! Thanks so much for the detailed explanation of each step.
Nice relaxed pace of work !
Great video. So good to see a video that instructs you on the different stages and best order of works in forging something like this. Thank you
Turned out great! Very entertaining and educational. Thank you!
Nicely done. I’ve watched your videos for years and and am pleased to see this back to basics perspective. It’s easy to forget that steel axes have primarily been made by hand over time and that power hammers and other modern technologies are not needed to achieve a high degree of craftsmanship. I like seeing how axes are made in all kinds of ways but this video is special as it shows that you possess the fundamental knowledge and skill needed to make a steel axe. The process is accessible to all kinds of people, for sure. Thanks for the nice video!
Another great video. I really get a lot of helpful advice from you.
Really appreciate these beginner video's!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge, and sharing your time
Thank you, nice to see it done by hand
Love the video. Thank you for taking the time to explain all of the steps.
Wonderful craftsmanship!
This was excellent! Made my first axe from a railroad spike just a week or so ago, and this has given me a good deal of insight for improving my next one!
Thank you for this video! I have been looking forward to it for a long time.
This Viking Blacksmith is one of the best Teachers on youtube!!! Magic at work right here
Nice video and very clear instructions for beginners, thanks a lot!
This is brilliant Nils! Agree with the others, would love to see a series of different axes by hand, but trust me, I know how hard that is! Much appreciated - Liam
Beautiful axe and beautiful video, thanks!
Även om jag aldrig hållt i en smideshammare är det alltid inspirerande att se ditt arbete!
Love your work! I was so excited when you announced this video - can't wait to make my first axe!
Nice clear instructional video. Great job
Thanks for the tutorial Nils!
Love your content, its always very motivating with how simple and easily explained your processes are, very beginner friendly with high quality work!
Job well done! Looking forward to trying this someday!
Great video, very inspiring for a beginner. Thanks!
This is really helpful to me as I want to make my first axe this year. Very clear instructions and overall great video. Thanks!
Thanks for this very informative tutorial. I will try this this weekend.
Love how you did all this with simple hand tools. Thanks for the inspiration.
Very good video for beginners wanting to make an axe by hand! The Hudson bay and is a classic, I've never made one personally. I think my favorite axe you have made was the hjartum. I just punched the hole in a 3"x1"x5" billet of 1045 to make the body. 80crv2 will be my edge steel for that one. Keep up the good work Nils you are a great inspiration for me.

This is a great video, especially for beginners like myself. Everything is explained simply, and the tricks you share are very practical. Making an axe seemed too daunting, but seeing you make one with the same anvil I have motivated me to try.
Absolutely fantastic! Great job
Very nicely done Nils. Great video as always. I really like the angled hammer eye punch to give a more natural hand position. I'm making my first wrapped eye axe thanks to your inspiration and videos.
Great video! Definitely gotta try this!
