Forging a Colonial Axe
Фильм және анимация
This is my take on forging a light weight, English "Colonial period" hewing axe using bowtie construction. Mild steel body, cutting edge is 1075.
Thanks again for watching. You're Awesome. If you want to help the channel for future videos, my links are below:

Master Craftsman with hands of a painter , 😊🥰🤗🙏
Beautiful art this is not axe this is wepon of Indian god I have not words about this craft your axe is not axe this is masterpiece...well done
As Alec said, always a perfect forge. My coffee scoop is treating the home well regularly. Cheers.
Intellectual and accuracy craftsman. Master piece of work. It's a treat to watch.
You know what? The way you made this bowtie and folded it over to fit so perfectly is the coolest way to forge an axe that I've ever seen. 😀Love your work.

Thanks! Credit for the technique comes from Peter Ross who was kind enough to give me the starting dimensions. All the best
Rigonie That's very Good work your doing there!!! Thank you for sharing this with us!!!😇
That's the way to do it. Never saw a couple of your shaping tools before. I'll be making some and using them next time I forge an axe. Thanks.
Love watching this man working he surely is a very talented man plus I’ve never seen such a clean workshop 👍👏
thanks keeping it simple and clean and showing the process

Hey Alec!
Love your metal “Perfection” table.
There is a whole lot of talent that went into creating that axe... but its just another axe that will forever leave the question, "was it made by man or machine?" Go Damascus!
Фантастика!!!красивый инструмент.красивая работа👍👍👍
ottimo lavoro grande maestria e competenza !

He made them all private because people did not respect his privacy and started to actually start rumors about him to people he does business with.

Jacob Schmidt that really sucks because he made awesome videos
Amazing work. Now I want to try this. I'll never do it as beautifully as you, though.
This is my 1st time seeing that kind of forging. I'm used to seeing Blacksmiths making a hole when they're making an axe. This one looks really nice.
I enjoy watching the clean and efficient work. Very excellent.
beautiful work!!! absolutely wonderful to watch.
Nice use of tools and equipment !.. And, of course planning, which is the essence of good smith work. !
Nicely done , using well preserve tools and superb craftsmanship ,
Beautiful axe work John! one of the things on my list to try.
I'm currently doing what I can to learn this method. Absolutely brilliant video!
BEAUTIFUL, clean work man. Love it
This is very good work I love the accuracy in your strikes and you’re really organized. Wonderful!
Well done sir...I forge a few similar axes by hand so I have a great appreciation for how this turned out..
A very beautiful axe and a very nice video. Ty Sir for showing your skills.
Nice job
I agree with Alec 100%. Your work looks like its was almost machined rather than forged. You do very nice work. Lets see some more video :)

Tis a thing of great beauty.
very nice work thanks bro and like
Nice!👍
I just subcribe to your channel you really make quality axes I cut trees for a living sometimes and I use axes when I am chopping trees down I friend gave me an old axe that the opening for the handle is round so you just slide the handle and if the handle breaks you could just make another handle from a tree branch and it's ready to go I'm going to post it on my channel right now so you could see I would like to have another axe like the one that my friend gave me it's as I easy to replace the handle thanks for replying back you got my respect man it's hard to find quality tools now days keep up the good work
In my opinion, this is the optimal light axe head. Not a hammer, fairly light compare to the cuttingedge and size in general. the handle is very stable in the head.
This is great
Thank you
Very nice
very nice
Makes it look easy
While some "craftsmen" are engaged in all sorts of elven toothpicks, sane blacksmiths make a solid instrument.
perfect job chap i messed up the cutting edge on my first one and still nowhere near as good as this on number 7
Very good
Good job,,,,,,,,,SUPER JOB,,,,,,,,,,,
muy buen trabajo
Belo trabalho!parabéns,,,
