    The pinnacle would be a dual ended hammer, flat and round - but if you begin with an axe first, great! Excellent video - I've watched many of Liam's, and I felt like I were there.

    That looked like a great time! Glad y’all were able to meet in person. Two greats! The coolness density on the planet increased while y’all were in each other’s presence.

    Well, a traditional Japanese wooden plane with a hand forged iron seems right up your alley!

    First of all, super dope. Two of my favorite youtubers in 1 video. Secondly, you got forge a hammer. Every blacksmith needs to forge his own hammer, ala Alec Steele

    @chrisosh9574 6 лет назад +18

    How about a 'Chona'(adze), they produce a fantastic surface and are apparently rare ( only one smith in Japan making them).
    It would also give you a reason to make a steam box as you need to bend the handle.

    Forge a froe or an adz for your next project. They seem like the perfect compliment to your new carpentry based daisho.

  • @Footpathforge
    @Footpathforge 6 лет назад +1

    Drawknife or Adze would be a great next tool. Awesome video!! I’m heading to my own axe making day with Paul (Toronto Blacksmith on RUclips) in 3 weeks. Your video has me stoked even more!!! Thanks!!!!

  • @alecmcjarison999

  • @twitchblues
    @twitchblues 6 лет назад

    If you want to practice edge shape forged in bevels, I'd say a chisel or marking knife. If you just want to move a big hunk of metal, I'd say a set of hammers - though it'll take a while without a power hammer.

  • @josephverbosiii5764
    @josephverbosiii5764 6 лет назад +1

    Hey Jesse have you finished that deck on the back of your house yet? If so what did you end up doing for the decking? The addition looks good especially with the table in it.
