Am I the only one that had the stupid snap judgement of "Oh come on, he's not gonna make a metal pipe handle is he?.... Oh, it's a bigger drift. Right. Makes perfect sense. Duh." Kinda surprised you didn't square the hammer head off a little. Doesn't detract anything from an awesome build, tho. Awesome work.
After all these years this is still probably my favorite video you've made. Love the design. It inspired my to make my own tomahawk out of a claw hammer. I cut off the claws and forged the head of the hammer into the blade of the tomahawk. I am going to reforge it soon though because I wasnt satisfied with the performance. Awsome video always
How in crap did 804 people not like this?!! It was freaking awsome. I have so many ball peen hammers than I knew what to do with till now! Loved it thanks ol chap!
It rang when it sunk into the tree. That’s exceptional craft. I don’t know if you believe a spirit could be put into an inanimate object, but the metal sings.
HOLY GOD, he actually forged it, unlike slot of people who think cutting it out like paper is forging he actually applied the craft.... Love you son much bra
Great job the only thing I would change is make a spike where the ball peen is. That would make it a better weapon but you wouldn't have the hammer head. And the spike would improve your chances of sticking it when you throw it
Awesome vid, awesome hawk, love all the failed throws and the curious cat 🐈⬛. I want to make a hawk with a hammer on one end so this is just what I was looking for. Well done!
A cutter, a splitter and a basher. Awesome! I wanna repurpose one of the ball peen heads laying around ow. Maybe I’ll make it the other way around so it becomes a proper hammer with a smaller hatchet head, and serve as an all around camping tool
River run Knives Good point, although the round handle is quite attractive IMO and would be much easier to make as it only requires the lathe and not a table saw or handmaking with a drawknife
It's mostly a thing for edge alignment, less a thing for hatchets, but it's always nicer to have oval handles. Also, I think it helps with the head, not having to fit a larger thing in it. I love the head anyway
Never fails to amaze me how fast these blacksmiths work. I try, but I have lost 3 fingers, a toe and 3/4 of my right nipple trying to do this stuff like these people do. Any tips? Running low on fingers and don't want to be nipple-less....
I`ve done a few of these , but I do something a bit different . that ball peen can be forged into a nice square or octagonal ,or square hammer poll , a spike ,or with just a bit more work a pipe bowl ,. all three would be more useful ,and more historically correct ! but , I do like your work , you did a fine job on it !
You did amazing with the forging, but next time, you should try using a cross-peen hammer if you have one. It makes the work of spreading the metal much easier.
Wouldn't it be more useful to forge the ball on the tomahawk into a flatter version of itself so that it would be easier to hammer in stakes on the trip, if needed?
What do you do with your wood shavings and cutoffs? Do you throw them out, burn them, donate them or something else. It seems like kind of a waste. Not specifically this one but I remember I watched a bowl being made from a giant block of wood and they only ended up using about 10% of the wood at most.
I love that you kept all the failed throws, that was awesome

No. I thought the same thing.
We're on the same page bru
2 years later me too

You made it strong. Took a lot of abuse trying to stick it in that tree. Well done.
Thank you!
The cat has given its blessing to the weapon!
grate idea
How in crap did 804 people not like this?!! It was freaking awsome. I have so many ball peen hammers than I knew what to do with till now! Loved it thanks ol chap!
That is a really cool hatchet. I'm definitely going to try making one myself. Thank you for the inspiration.
These are the kinds of neighbors I need. That sander!!!!!! I can't wait to start modifying everything...lol...🤗
Finally someone who knows how to actually forge a tool
And isn’t like “VLOg cAMMeRa, TRasH mUsiC anD a BayOnEt oUt oF a lAwNMoWeR bLADe
And shave his leg
Ahh yes because you know how to
Javan Bybee ok bayonets are cool and lawn mower blade have good steel but bayonets are useless lol
@@Thicbladi first of all, lawn mower blades are made of at best medium carbon steel, second of all bayonets are not useless.
This guy! He did it the hard way; hand-crank coal forge, and it turned out better than my attempt with a self-blowing propane forge!
It rang when it sunk into the tree. That’s exceptional craft. I don’t know if you believe a spirit could be put into an inanimate object, but the metal sings.
10/10 cat
:)
,,what is that thing o.o?"
I say the cat did all the work
Awesome video loved how you didn't talk and just cut to chase wish more people were like you love it keep up the good work
HOLY GOD, he actually forged it, unlike slot of people who think cutting it out like paper is forging he actually applied the craft.... Love you son much bra

I have made 4 about 40 years back and I kept one and still using it. They hold a wicked edge.
indeed.
this is amazing! i love your forge and your way of doing things, i've just now started blacksmithing and this is very inspiring
Nice tomahawk, I've been wanting to make one myself. Good blacksmithing video!👍
Awesome vid, awesome hawk, love all the failed throws and the curious cat 🐈⬛. I want to make a hawk with a hammer on one end so this is just what I was looking for. Well done!
Awesome job. I started to make a tomahawk by forging a ball pin hammer and after half an hour I decided to wait until I got a power hammer. 😁
The throw complation at the end is what made me subscribe.
It worked out perfectly! Thanks for the video, like and subscription!
A cutter, a splitter and a basher. Awesome!
I wanna repurpose one of the ball peen heads laying around ow. Maybe I’ll make it the other way around so it becomes a proper hammer with a smaller hatchet head, and serve as an all around camping tool
Nice job. I agree with making handle oval but great work and i loved the misses makes it real
Hell yeah Jake. You do great work man. My son and I like watching you make knives and just move steel period. Good job man.
It was a solid 9 outta 10 video but the fat-black-cat made it a 10/10
Awesome tomahawk
That thing turned out really nice. Very impressive
the throwing was the best i couldnt stop giggling good work think i might try and make one too
This guy a really good blacksmith also i like how it been out for so many years still can do blacksmith still that cool
Ive got that exact hammerhead unused at the moment...
*GUESS WHAT IM GONNA DO*
I have several I found at work people lost
Nothing?
Very cool, the cat made it even better. She’s Good luck!
I've never seen anybody make a drift from a piece of tube before but that works really well. Great job!
DragonCon's Best took a long time to expand the eye but yeah it worked. Thank you!
Великолепная идея и подача, будем применять... Удачи...
Looks good only tip is next time make handle oval much nicer to use that way
I did think about doing it but i wanted to try a round handle first, so far no discomfort.
River run Knives Good point, although the round handle is quite attractive IMO and would be much easier to make as it only requires the lathe and not a table saw or handmaking with a drawknife

That's a pretty badass tomahawk. But am I the only one whos favorite part of the video was the end with the cat?
Nice work! Man I swore that you grabbed that head HOT!!! lol blew my mind for a second! Lol
You are a real craftsman.
A real creature(creator)
The sped up tinks of the hammer will keep me up at night
And now make a ball peen hammer out of a Tomahawk.
outerik90 lol! Too funny, you!😁
i read that as make a ball pen WTF
Bell o
*plays video in reverse*
Lol
Pretty slick Idea using a piece of mild steel tubing to make a drift. I'm going to have to remember that ^.^
Excelente me encantan las herramientas que no necesitan poner cuña en su mango, saludos desde TUCUMAN-ARGENTINA
Nice belt sander . That looked heavy duty .
No hair left on your arms? )
More or less. ;)
the mark of a blacksmith... bald patches on arms and legs
@@esany bladesmiths not blacksmiths ... bladesmiths...😂
baldsmiths, lol
A great build and a outstanding cat.
Nice love the cat and the hatchat is supper cool.!!👍👍🤠🤠🎯🎯😎😎
Best hawk making video I've seen so far!!!!!!!!!!
Don't know how you liked the round handle but ive always found the handle should have flat sides for indexing, good build thanks for the video 👍
That was a fun awesome little video. Loved the part with the 🐈
Never fails to amaze me how fast these blacksmiths work. I try, but I have lost 3 fingers, a toe and 3/4 of my right nipple trying to do this stuff like these people do. Any tips? Running low on fingers and don't want to be nipple-less....
Was expecting the blade to be a little bit bigger but its still cool!
I love so mouch how all this sounds
I`ve done a few of these , but I do something a bit different . that ball peen can be forged into a nice square or octagonal ,or square hammer poll , a spike ,or with just a bit more work a pipe bowl ,. all three would be more useful ,and more historically correct ! but , I do like your work , you did a fine job on it !
love the video format and the misses and the cat
Tried this myself, drawing out the beard of the axe was harder than I thought.
You did amazing with the forging, but next time, you should try using a cross-peen hammer if you have one. It makes the work of spreading the metal much easier.
El cameo del gato negro fue la cereza sobre el pastel...buen video🙏
i can’t wait to try and forge one of these myself, thanks for the inspiration.
Do it!
This is so amazing
Very nicely done!
This is truly amazing I would like you to create another one but using a sledge hammer head.
Thank you very much! Although I don't think it would be a tomahawk anymore, more like a splitting maul ;D.
i am surprised you don't have a online shop like esty or something
Brandon Stevens sadly shipping is very expensive.
if you do for goodness sake setup Tictail under a custom domain or something, etsy rip you off big time
Brandon Stevens yeah
+Make N' Create
For something like that, I'd happily pay the shipping costs.
I would locally at least!
Nice hammering job ... on your new hatchet...
Now that was a sweet little video!!!
Now I know what to do with all these damn ball ping heads laying around here... !
Great job with this!!!
I love the whole ending of i know how to make this tool but it dosent mean i know how to use it all that well..... 20 misses badass project man
thats a sick little axe
Really cool. I really wanna try this some day...
The black cat was a good touch . Cool
Cat surprise is a good surprise!
What a clever idea you had there,well done on creating it.
Far from my idea but thanks!
Wouldn't it be more useful to forge the ball on the tomahawk into a flatter version of itself so that it would be easier to hammer in stakes on the trip, if needed?
Looks like that would be a great light weight hiking hatchet
I like it. Got a couple of old hammers id like to turn into a hatchet
The best part of this video is the axe throwing hahaha.
The axe throwing portion of this video is the reason I subscribed to your channel. Keep it up chief.
The sequence of throwing it at the tree and the cat were hysterical
nice craftmanship
Great video awesome craftsmanship. Thanks..
Awesome work👍👍👍👍
What do you do with your wood shavings and cutoffs? Do you throw them out, burn them, donate them or something else.

We either burn it our self in our wood burning stove or we drive it to recycling we're it will be sorted and properly taken care of.
TheoreticalGenius its wood...
if you really love something you set it free. he set it free and returned the wood to mother nature.
Cat: Ooh new thing time to pee on it!
That was sweet as hell.
Nice outcome!
Hey, I could do that, except for one minor thing, skill....great job!
The cats featured in your videos are so playful! (and v cute)
Madison Thompson indeed they are :)
That's pretty cool, I need a bigger ball peen hammer , so I get a bigger blade. Nice work Brother !!
Cool video, I really enjoyed watching your process!
That is just too cool! Keep up the good work!
Axe throwing was the best part
That’s a great idea dude; well done
really nice video and an awesome little hawk!
The way you forged with charcoal was neat.
Lol I like that tone pitch change at 4:56
This is the best video, of this type, that I have ever seen!! Keep up the great work.
I laughed really hard when you started throwing it at the tree 😂😂😂
;)
That looks awesome, would love to have one like it myself !!
That looks nice!
Excellent job, great skills, cheers.
Поставил лайк, красавчик, смеялся от души👍
Love your videos
