New to metalworking? START HERE! - How to make a CUSTOM HATCHET
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 сен 2024
- I realized recently that a lot of my viewers are very new to blacksmithing and knifemaking like myself but may not have access to all of the tools that I use on a daily basis. In an attempt to help get more people into the hobby of blade smithing I decided to show how to turn an old axe head into a custom hatchet to take with you on hiking trips this spring.
This is a FANTASTIC project for beginners that requires minimal time, financial investment, or prerequisite skill but allows you to practice shaping metal, wood, leather, and sharpening skills.
The tools and materials I used are featured below. Thanks for watching!

Great video. Build yourself a decent workbench next!
Hahhaha oh God, don't I need to. That will be a video in the near future, don't you worry. Thanks for watching!
Love it man, so far your the only video that I watched in witch I actually liked the shape, everyone else just makes them look either weird or dumb
Great video! Have a good weekend, just finished an Ash stock thanks for the pointers...
Thanks for watching! I'm so glad to have been able to help! I hope you have a great weekend as well.

Nicely done.
New subscriber here... watched one video yesterday and became an instant fan. Can't wait to see more
That's the best thing a youtuber can hear! Hahah thank you and I'm happy to have you on board! Many more videos to come. I hope you have a great night and I'll see you soon!
Great video! great handle! I’ve seen 2 of your videos. I’m hooked. I am subscribed!
Thanks man, I'm so flattered that you like my videos and I'm happy to have you on board! I hope you have a great night and thanks for watching.
Good work 👍i like it
Thank you much and thanks for watching! I'll see you on the next one. Hope you have a great day.
Well done! I like the way you did the handle layout.
Nice background music.
Thank you! I'm trying to add in more background music of me playing guitar as it seems like people like that. I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching.
Can you try to make a knife out of rebar, nice video btw
Thanks Robin. And of course! Rebar knives are actually how I got started. They can turn out very well if you do it right.
Man you never cease to amaze me. Another beautiful piece. I love how you repurpose or items. Your woodworking skills are awesome. Hatchett looks great. I got to be honest not real crazy about the sheath. But the hatchet itself is remarkable. Again my hat is off to you. Oh one more thing you're a busy man with a life of your own oh, you don't need to apologize for not making any videos for a little bit. You're allowed to have a life LOL. Take care man you're keeping my room for the next one
Thank you so much! And I can see the sheath not being too stunning, I just wanted to show a quick way to make one in case any one following along with the build didn't know where to start. I'm definitely no leather worker though! Hahah. I appreciate the feedback and you taking the time to comment. I hope you have a great night! I'll see you on the next one.
@@80gritschmidt51 I just hope you didn't take what I said about the sheath personal. Please don't. I was just being upfront and honest. Everything else you do is perfect. It all goes flawlessly. You're very inspirational person who keeps things so laid-back and chill but at the same time technical. People can't watch you without learning
@@pauldejohn3333 hahah oh trust me I'm far from perfect and please don't apologize, I appreciate you being honest with me! I deeply value the opinions of my viewers especially ones as kind as you always are. Hearing what you guys do and don't like lets me make better videos for you. :)
Good shape. Nice Bavarian style. The way ALL hatchets should be. You get a lot more 'bite' with these with less weight. Gonna run one through the shop and use a straight handle. Handles are a matter of taste I suppose, but for work use, I like a straight one. Good vid!!
Wait, so you made an axe out of an axe.
Impressive
great job, enjoyed learning this !
Thanks, Harry! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. Let me know if you end up making your own hatchet! Hope you have a great day.
Beautiful and practical too!
Thank you so much!
well done simple tools to make something unique gave me the inspiration to try something with the old ave heads i have
Your videos are great man. Thanks for all the help
Thank you so much! I know this build isn't as flashy as some of my others but I was hoping to make something informative and helpful. So glad to see I hit the mark for you. :) Take care and have a great weekend!
Aren't baseball bats made of ash?
To my understanding baseball bats were traditionally ash but are often maple these days. But what do I know, I'm more of a boxing/ MMA guy. :p
How can you only have 1k subs
Hahah well it was only a few months ago that I had 15! Honestly I'm very happy with the growth of this channel and the amount of awesome people I've had subscribe and comment. There's always room for more though! ;) Thanks for watching!
What kind of rasp is it that you are using? I've seen them used before but could never find them
The rasp is called a Shinto rasp and I seriously can't recommend it enough. It's the best rasp design I've ever used. I put a link in this video's description to where you can find them on Amazon. If you do happen to use the link to get yourself one I get a few cents from Amazon at no extra cost to you so I certainly wouldn't mind. Hahah ;p
@@80gritschmidt51 when I do get I'll make sure to use your link.
@@redbearworkshop3219 you will earn my eternal love. Thank you. Hahah
like the idea specially the handle
Thank you and thanks for watching! Hope you have a great day.
