I'm no expert either but that looks very nice. I think especially the older and more rural the carpentry, the more prominent the axe. Many years ago when at Russian living history museum, while standing outside a very intricate wooden church, the guide told us it was an old Russian proverb "Give a peasant an axe and he'll build you a church." That might have been regional, or just local to that museum's repair shop, since I've never heard it since, but I think expect it's very true.
Really nice job on that. All aspects. I like the more robust handle to get a better grip, more control. Absolutely beautiful blade. Even the sheath is beautiful, well done. Would love to own it.
I love watching these videos, but it always makes me think about why the smiths were talked about like big hulking galoots. I can’t help but feel my hands, wrists, forearms, shoulders, neck, biceps, triceps, latis, abs, flexors, etc screaming in agony with trying to hammer all that metal down and shape it into a useable tool
Nice!
Thank you kindly!

Thanks for the new euphemism. Now I'm going to tell people I'm off to the garage to sand my handle. :P

Nice work! After watching some of your newer videos, it's amazing to see how much progress you have made in 3 years.
You got a chisel plate! I'm so proud.
Great job on that beautiful axe. Looking forward to watching more of your videos.
Thank you very much, i look forward to make more videos!

Amazing work! Wow, that looks like a really good Bushcraft ax. Would love to have one.
Excellent work.
My respect - for the soul and skilled hands put in the axe!
When you had to chisel the axe bit the damn thing went YEET!
Great build. Enjoying the content. Thanks for posting.
Now that is one nice axe!best one i have seen.
When baking the Axe, you can put a cup of water into the oven so that the steel does not get too crispy.
Good work

안녕...?! 너무 훌용한 도끼 🪓 입니다. 가지고 싶네요.건강하길...
Fantastisk!
good work friend
the only axe you need for zombie apocalypse
Awesome video and awesome axe!
Thanks alot!
Is the back of the Carpenters Axe' head meant for hammering nails in? Great Work, Nils. Looks beautiful !
Is your ax double bevel or flat on one side with a single bevel? I couldn’t tell
Awesome video Nils
Thanks man!
Snygg o bra video Nils!
Ett litet tips är o lägga takpap eller silikon under smidesstädet så slipper du ringande!
Har funderat på det, men det är detdär med att få tummen ur som är problemet ;)
I can't wait for the feedback! You might not be an expert, but it's excellently made👌
Thank you very much!
How much did it weight as a finished product, as a square stock it looked like 1.2 kg. What was it after forging and adding the bit?
Ill check the notes when i get back to the workshop! Remind me if i forget!
Nils Ögren sorry but what was the weight
@@flynnsmail1699 i think it was 700g
Nice work!
Thank you!
Beautiful axe I was hoping to see how you were going to put the grooved slot in for pulling nails.
In Sweden we use hammers for that.
Did you ever find out how it performed?
From where do you get your mild steel stock?
I buy it from a Swedish steel supplier online. Montano.se is the address
What type of metal did you use?
TFS, G :)
How much?
