Blacksmithing! Its been a passion that grabbed a hold of me when I was 13 years of age and hasn't relented! I'm swinging the hammer day in and day out and let me take you along for the ride as we stay true to the craft of blacksmithing and be relevant to the day and age we live in.

The way you go in at these projects by trying ideas and thinking about whats happened, whats going to happen and how it turned out is your best teacher! Cool stuff tim!
WoW Extremely Expensive.! Phkin Rich Man TooLs........
Okay . . . that's impressive.
maybe the titanium hammer is to light to work the material all the way through causing fish mouth
I'm tryna watch the damn video, but his damn teeth are to distracting
600$ o_O
Why are cutting discs used frequently for grinding? Do they do it better or something?
Love working with purple heart, it comes out so nice!
worked as a burner at a large scrap yard. old bridge steel is and was in big demand. same withold barges ,rail car's and heavy equipment steel. the older the more in demand.
Beautiful work!
Cool.
lol! i cannot think of a better raw material for hand-forging. After all, these rails were forged from steel engineered to take a pounding!!
Он и без нагрева нормально согнется!!!
The issue of radioisotopes contaminating steel became a notable problem after World War II, particularly due to the extensive atmospheric nuclear testing conducted from the late 1940s to the early 1960s. During these tests, large amounts of radioactive isotopes were released into the atmosphere, which eventually settled on the earth's surface, contaminating raw materials, including iron ore. When this contaminated iron ore was processed into steel, the resulting metal contained trace amounts of radioisotopes. One of the significant problems with radioactive steel is its use in sensitive applications such as medical instruments, scientific equipment, and even in construction, where radiation exposure could pose health risks. This contamination became particularly evident when the radiation levels in some steel products exceeded acceptable limits, necessitating strict regulations and screening processes for steel production. The awareness of radioactive contamination in steel led to the need for "low-background steel" or "pre-World War II steel." This steel, produced before the first nuclear detonations, was free from contamination by anthropogenic radioisotopes and became valuable for applications requiring extremely low levels of radiation background, such as in Geiger counters and other sensitive radiation detection equipment.
Now imagine it was made out of one single piece of metal.
Uhhh, PRE atomic steel is PREMIUM for making sensitive detection instruments.

Is it possible to forge thorn's into the stem as one piece not welded on
All of it has been NDT tested so it’s free from defects
Shits all gone sold out sold out WTF. keep the forge lit. I wanted an ax and hatchet. OH Well.
Ah the Anxiety hammer.
You could recreate a Confederate ironclad.
That's a house frame right there
My question is why did you even pay for it? Fuck the railroad.
Great video, I would add a spring to each long wedge bolt to hold them "open". Should be less wrestling it in and out. And don't hurt Mertin too bad... lol
My father made me some great tools fashioned from railway wagon springs.
Giant Chainmail: no Chainmail for Giants: yes
My worktable if I had tiny slaves:
Да , справился👍. Зер гут.
There is way bigger oxygen propane torches than that that don't waste as much gas but they are more expensive. They are used in the glassblowing industry
dont waste this stuff on b lasksmithing. Think how cool it will be to have a friggen railway in your garden instead
damn that looks great, not only the finished piece but how good that films at the end, looking forward to seeing that super sexy lighting in future vids!!
You're not doing it for long enough! Do you see how the first one had lips of molten metal rolling out and bulging out from the original material. That's when you've welded it together
That’s a work of art man honestly. Honest opinion some brass o wedge things would make it man ! When I have the dough I’ll def buy one
Imagine life without steel. Core of Earth is molten iron.
I apologize for your last drop of your head drift 6:00 , I swear I said “your running outta heat” then you dropped it
I get my axes from china-harbor freight.
Hey man not sure if you will read this saw you was seriously struggling on sharpening this blade I seen but there’s a reason for that I seen in the video you never removed the burr from the blade and if you use a whetstone process you could make it multitudes sharper not sure if you’ve changed your process for sharpening but also i stumbled on this video while doing research on this metal it has a loose grain structure so you would need to make it tighter by going against the norm with this super alloy it’s strong when large but the grain is thicker when it’s large so with a blade it needs to be tighter use some sort of other metal to make the alloy tighter that won’t have a adverse affect on the chemical composition like steel or titanium you could use ferrotitanium to take off slag and detoxifi it and help the process
You should take care about work safety rules dude!!

Sweet looking!
The sound of that first hammer hit.. sounded like trouble.
I have to be honest, don't give a damn about axes, but wow what a business model. Follow what you love, do your best, and hide nothing. GREAT for you. You are a true artisan!
Very cool way to forge a double bit axe!
Rare tool build, great video, and the end product is beautiful. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum last week 😎
cool!
600$-900$ for a hatchet??????????? no thank you
Great job. Thank you 😊
That video was great. I loved the beginning oj just raw filming with minimal sound. Great build.
How much did the rail steel cost you?
