GREAT job on this. It's nice to see someone take an old piece of what looks like junk and make something new, good, and useful.

WOW, I really appreciate all of the comments, I am currently working on a few more video projects to be hopefully finished soon time permitting. Just a question would anyone like to see more viking style mods? I ask because i have an old messed up Hewing axe that i have been debating dicing up into something wicked. Anyone interested in seing a video of that?

Nick Sellers you sir are very skilled, you should get a job like movie prop maker or medieval blacksmith or something, because you are really good at what you do! :)

Nick Sellers This looks great, thanks for the upload. I'm pretty much always interested in viking weaponry, especially axes and hammers. So I guess yeah, I'm totally interested in seeing a video of that. lol

Fantastic. Wonderful to see someone putting in good old fashioned hard work with proper tools to achieve something beautiful. Top work!

Love that axe. You made something beautiful from something very plain! And thanks for fast forwarding the boring parts (sanding, shaving, etc...) that many you tubes leave in and bore us to death ! You "Rock "dude! Looking forward to more of your awesome work !

You've turned something ordinary into EXTRAORDINARY! If you didn't show the whole process from start to finish.. I would have thought you were lying. You SIR is my kind of ARTIST and her.. She's A Thing Of Beauty!!

man, that is an heirloom piece with a time-honored quality look to it that can be passed down for generations man!! make a bow and quiver, and i'll let you adopt me!

Nice Work!!! and I Love that Finish on the Handle!!!

I see myself coming back to this video from time to time just to rewatch it in it's entirety, something so relaxing about this video.

Thank you Sir! I really need to get back to making more videos

Brilliant..doing something I've always wanted to, but physically can't. My hands are riddled with arthritis, awesome piece of work, very talented man.

yes more viking mods. love your work and am getting inspired to start my own projects.

Fantastic , it actually looks like a Viking axe I would see in a movie .

Glad to see that you're not the only one who used a pick Handle 👍👍👍👍

There's just something about a man putting effort and skill into crafting a very cool axe from scrap. Very relaxing too. :)

I initially started this video thinking "what a waste of a good axe head" but I must say that end result was pretty sick. I'd have to say that was some nice work. Great job I'm glad I watched the whole video

Impressive! Engineer and Artist combined... Great job!

The whole time I am watching, I am thinking..."wow, structurally ruining a perfectly usable axe head." But I have to admit end product is probably quite balanced structurally and nice to look at. I am happy to been able to observe your techniques and the inspiration you have imparted. Thank you. PS I am subscriber no. 6,765 nice to meet you.

bad a$$ shine! I learned a couple new techniques. Thank you for sharing your skills with all of us!

Wow... An exellent and great job. It's the most beatiful axe that I never see.

So that wedge is how you keep the head on the handle! Now that different coloured bit of wood on hammers becomes apparent. What a transformation. Great to watch it happen.

I think you have done wonderful job on this axe. I am acquainted with a blacksmith who actually forges this type of axe head in a traditional manner and I have to say that for a home hobbiest, you have made something very nice. I really like the fact that this would be something that would actually hold up in it's intended use, because of the basic axe head you started with and the really stout handle you have fabricated. Not that I would hope it would ever be used as a weapon, it is just nice that it could, as opposed to some home hobbiests who put together items like tomahawks made from railroad spikes, which could never be functional. You have a nice array of tools as well, it was great to see someone using a drawknife and spokeshave and that they were actually sharp enough to cut.

Great vidio, well done on the AXE. I enjoyed every minute. thank you

my friend - you are a master - you turned a hunk of steel into a warriors weapon - with a few simple tools and a steady hand - good job

Great video,what a nice result and great transformation of an old nondescript axe-head!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Somewhere in a graveyard in Norway or Sweden: "Bjorn, BJORN, wake up you sleepy dog. Look it vat za man is doink in za shop. He is yust as good as yer brudder Olaf, and he's not half da fat. Bjorn says, "Yah, he really knows vat he is doink. Ve vill have to stop der some day. In da meantime, Regvold, ve must sleep." Yah, Bjorn" says Regvold, ve must sleep." Really great craftsmanship. Looks very authentic. Great video thanks.

that was some seriously good stuff right there. I'm unsure what I liked better the video or.... yurd de der. lol I Really enjoyed reading your comment. I just recently lost my son and I've been so down and blue I'm not sure when the last time I got a good belly laugh. Thank you.

been watching "viking" axe videos.. yours is by far the best one, your rustic handle and looks actually feel right.

I like the idea of knocking chunks off with the hammer! That must have saved a lot of cutting / grinding time. Finished axe looks cool.

First I thought, this video is way to long.. I'm not gonna watch it all.. But then I got stuck and watched all of it! :D Amazing job!!

Holy crap!! That's a friggin BEAUTIFUL tomahawk!! Good job to you, sir!! Excellent job! Gorgeous!!

that hands have magic in them... great work!

Light enough to wield single handed, strong enough to cleave through armour and skull, handy enough to chop kindling, or dispatch a chicken. With a few hand tools you've produced a fine piece of protection.

Superb! Really like what you did with an old axe head.

Wow. Real nice work. You are a craftsman. The whole thing is nicely proportioned and your attention to detail (like the contrasting wedge and the sculpted handle end) is remarkable.

Impressive. I’m new to axe restoration, and this is not only impressive, but inspirational. As Vikings was my ancestors, living in the land of the Vikings, I’m drawn to make an effort to do similar work as you’ve shown here. Impressive. Kudos to you Sir.

Wow. Came out great.. Like some other people said, didn't think it was gonna come out like this but it's a beaut!

What a fantastic custom build with old pieces to produce a one of a kind hand made piece:) great work!!

You got skills !!! The vikings wish they had a axe that good.

Very nicely done! I've done similar to re-purpose old axes but never brought them to this level of perfection. Anf the period correct straight handle-- Perfection. Thanks for the instruction

Dude! You should've let us marvel at the result for more than a few seconds in the end, and from different angles!

WOW! That's a great looking Axe.

I am truly stunned by your skill and imagination.

Too beautiful for being used. Wonderful work!

Man what an amazing piece. You know how to handle tools with your hands and create with your mind. Great job. Thanks for sharing

I'd buy a smaller hatchet version in an instant! FANTASTIC work!

That is one badass project. Nicely done!

Fantastic work. I customized a Cold Steel bearded axe. It turn out great. I had a lot of fun with that project, I think something like this will be my next project. Thanks for inspiration.

Nice to see a craftsman at work . Fascinating thank you sir .

Simply beautiful! Brother, that is double barrel thumbs up. Thank you, for sharing your time and talent with us and very much looking forward to future projects.

gotta say you did a fine job Sir. That is an excellent war blade. keep up the good work !!!

So nicely done. With just a few simple tools to hand. Vakker øks!

Very cool end result Nick. I really like how you converted it into a hand axe even though it had that large eye in the ax head itself. Good thinking and great work man. Just a really sweet ax in the end, one of a kind.... cool. Thanks for the video.

you are amazing i hope when i buy a villa somewhere i could do all these small projects that i wish to do in my garage :P

How can people not like this ? Its a work of art mate , very skillfully done .

I've watched your video for like 5 times very nice professional work , keep it up ! Hope i see more videos like this

It's great to watch some old fashioned woodcrafting , keep up the great vids

Awesome looking axe there. I was doubtful at first about a tool axe head but you changed it up good.

NIce work! Especially like the way the handle turned out.

You are the man, Nick. Enjoyed this video very, very much. Thank you. Best to you. -- Michael

I love this video. Its really cool seeing the process and the finished product. And as a guy who's deprived of building and having a workshop, I can get live vicariously through these videos. My only request is that you dub something over the grinder sound like music or a voice over of what you were think or some anecdotes.

Friggin awesome! Nice job and great how to video!

very inspiring and fantastically beautiful work, thanks for sharing :)

This is a work of art. i appreciate your worksmanship.

wow man that's a real work of art. Great job, way to take a piece of steel and turn it into an amazingly crafted tool.

Nick! WOW!!! You Sir are a fantastic Fabricator and one hell of an Artist my friend! Thanks for posting the very BEST such video on the entire network! Extremely well done. I have to subscribe to see what else you're doing. Best Regards...

May not be traditional or the most practical but killer looking piece and awesome job man! That was clearly a lot of hard work and the end result looks phenomenal!

Totally Awesome!! You did a great job!

I really loved watching you craft this axe!

This was so satisfying to watch

Great craftsmanship! Thx for the video.

Really beautiful axe. I love the handle.

Brilliant concept beautifully executed! An artist at work.

That's amazing, great video thanks for not adding music! Looking forward to more videos!!!

thanks for uploading this. Even tho I will probably never do it- it was definitely an enjoyable view to watch your work and the end product was amazing.

Wow that was sick man, i love to see people putting so much time in their videos. Thumbs up for you sir,

WOW very cool and nice Axe , Great Viking Style i love it :D i want to see more videos - Viking Axe Made - 5*

Nice job. The perfect road rage tool.

You are an art maker for sure, Great show !

Nick the video and your work is excellent and inspiring. Might have to try to make one of these myself.

After watching this i couldnt stop thinking about it. I dug up a cheap hatchet head out of my barn an made one too. Its a little different style but i like rhe way it came out. Im going to post a link to your video in my description as my inspiration

Thanks, I wish you good luck with your Mod! I hope i was able to give you some pointers with the video.

Outstanding work! liked and subscribed, I will be looking at more of your videos for sure

Love what you've done with this axe! Every off road-er or camper should pack a light 2/3 - 3/4 axe. (Far more useful than a oversize hip knife. New life may be beaten into the 3-5 heads I've seen in buckets at the old family farm.... (I go prefer a hammer head, but trimmed to a nice size.... ) Art from debris! You Rock!

i friggin love your man-cave bro

Awesome video. Beautiful axe. Great job on it :)

Hi Nick That's was brilliant, thank you

Thats's the coolest thing on youtube, nice work brother!

sir you are very talented and creative . Keep it up

one if not the best axe mod designs on youtube! great work

Nick you did a fantastic job on the axe mod i really enjoyed the video,all aspects were very well done thanks for sharing i subscribed

I'll watch no matter what you make! viking/Celtic would be interesting!

Nick your freakin awesome bro! Ha ha seriously tho! The whole time I'm watching along the way I prob said sick out loud 50 times! Idk if you remember talkin with me b4 I built a pickroon from your video, awesome also!! Have been away from the tube for a while but came around now that I got a iPad ha ha but since the pickroon I've collected few old axe heads an stashed them away. Ha I even have one sitting in my bedroom closet in the back corner next to a nice axe I acquired. I think we like axes! But now I've found a use for one of them old axe head so a new project awaits!
