Wow, it looks amazing! Thank you so much for putting all this time and effort into making the axe, and paying so much attention to detail. The wrought iron makes it special. I've rarely seen anyone work with iron, most bladesmiths use mild steel. Anyway, it was great to see the process, and I'm looking forward to trying it out. :)

@@Altair1193 blacksmiths work with iron based and hard metals. A whitesmith works gold and silver, precious metals, and I may have left some metals out, as I don't know much about whitesmith work yet. Since steel is just iron and carbon, any smith that works steel is a blacksmith. The information on whitesmiths is just what I've heard, but I'll look into it. It may be different.

Okay, so what I was told about whitesmiths was wrong completely. It referred/refers to anyone that does finishing work on metal or works tin. I always thought that tin workers were in their own category, but i guess there are places where smithing work overlaps.

I find this more relaxing than any ASMR video.

Great job on that axe. I came here from Skals channel to see how it was made. Not disappointed.

Great axe you made. I enjoyed when you talked about the axe at the end, good to get more insight.

Very Nice. Just saw the Testing by Skall video today. Really a nice tough axe. Really dual purpose... primary fighting, but very usable for bushcraft.

The rustic aesthetic you got going on with some of your stuff is really great in my opinion. Also saw it performed well in Skallagrim's vid. Cool stuff!

A thing of beauty, no wonder smiths were revered

What an absolutely gorgeous axe! Well done mate!

It's a beautiful axe, well done!

I do not forge knives or axes and never look at videos on the subject. I decided to look at yours in this quiet morning before going out of my comfort zone to my forge welding and I am very glad I did. The transformation of the billets in this axe is magic. Truly magical. The video is well made. The work is expertly conducted. I enjoyed every minute of it. Comments in videos are often boring : we do not need to be told what we have seen. Your comments added information we could not have seen in the video. I thank you.

Lovely work. Love the use of wrought iron instead of mild steel. Do you think you would've gotten some sort of interesting pattern from etching the wrought iron?

I did! I mean it depends on how you stack and/or turn the billet. Its not as clear a damascus pattern, but it does show grain and therefore reminds me of wood a little bit. Compared to mild steel its very beautiful!

Boiled linseed oil is fine to use, but if you want deeper penetration into the wood you can mix it with white spirits or mineral oil to thin it a bit more!

4 жыл бұрын

Why not raw linseed oil?

@PieterG159

4 жыл бұрын

@ I heard that raw linseed oil takes much longer to "set" in the pores of the wood because it contains more moisture (this is what protects the wood). For deeper penetration in the wood you can dilute the BLO as suggested above or maybe slightly heat it up with a torch to reduce viscosity.

Nice axe!

What did ancient smiths use instead ob angle/belt grinders? BTW displaying the axe on top of the mossy rock looked really cool 😎.
