You need to press the sand down with more force. The first layer on your workpiece should be pressed with your fingers. All the layers above should be pressed with a tool. Then you need to make holes in the sand to prevent steamexplosions. Regards 👍
Simply gorgeous. While I know it is largely decorative, watching you cast the brass made me wonder how the heat of the brass would affect the hardness of the steel.
@@HvV8446 That's part of what has me curious. Brass melts at something like 1700*F. As I understand it, chopping blades are usually tempered to around 450*F. Pouring 1700*F brass into the mold would likely cause the steel to heat to a level that, once cooled slowly in the mold, would essentially just anneal the steel.
@@davidkbailey yeah, i dont know how else he can do that, its the only thing i can think of. But then again, it was only pine. I bet that if he used it on hardwood it will have dents in it in no time.

@@HvV8446 Yeah, sorry about the Fahrenheit. My blacksmithing books don't even include metric equivalents. For length and volume, I can work pretty well in both metric and US Customary. I have never been able to get my head around Celsius, though. Who knows why. . .
every day you surprise us more with your work. In the video you show how many times it goes wrong and you try again until you achieve it! keep making these videos because you learn a lot. my respects and greetings
Beautiful work, does not look bad. The blowholes are difficult to prevent with the type of brass casting. We still did many of these steps ourselves in the apprenticeship. Result can be seen. Greetings from Germany.
Beautiful axe! How deep are the pits on the right side of the head? And looking back, do you think packing the sand would have made a difference in avoiding the pits? Thanks for the video! It's always nice when someone has a vision of something and then goes ahead to complete it! Very nice, functional art piece!
@@wolfgangornig3556 Of course! However, there ARE examples of castings like this that are excelent! Just because the tech is old, doesn't make it bad! After all, most of the items made today that are machinery parts are cast steel, of one type or another! However, there are newer technologies that are making even that, obsolete!
The pits seem to be where the melted brass was surrounded on three sides by cold steel. I suspect the brass cooled rapidly in those pits and shrunk when it hardened. I could be wrong about the shrinking but two vents in those precise places might have prevented it. I bet there's a fair amount of trial-and-error in production casting to sort out these types of issues.
Brass melts at about 800 celcius. Tempering of most hardened steel at about 200 celcius. So yeah the hardness is pretty much gone. Stil a cool design. Maybe a edge quench would work. With the rest wrapped in wet cloth or something.
Nice work! Unfortunately the casting heat destroyed your heat treatment on the blade. Maybe do an edge quench (with a torch) after you’ve casted? Bring out a hamon with the right steel to add to the look?
i know literally nothing about forging other than from youtube videos and forged in fire, but at least from the tests the edge appeared to be hard. Is the wood just too soft to do any real damage?
Very nice. I love the idea... Really cool.... Feels more like an art piece to me, rather than something I would use. Hang it on the wall with the best side out, and just love it.... Really neat piece...
Looks good. But from a mechanical point of view, it will fail. Brass is a soft, ductile metal. With every impact, the brass will compress a little and eventually the dovetail will loosen. The hatchet will then break apart. Still a very good looking hatchet.
looks cool. took some dope skill to make. ultimately a terrible idea since brass and steel expand and contract at different rates and temps. still cool af for a mantle ornament 😎👍
@@mohammedkhan6039 Please don't be mind. It's the part of headsman's ballade at last night of Lady Jane Gray's execution day. He sings he has beheaded also Queen Anne Boleyn, Salisbury's countess, and Queen Catherine Howard. But the author fatally made a mistake about Queen Anne. Because, she was beheaded with a long sword, by a headsman from France. Of cause, the broadax to use for a discharge in England of the Middle Ages was more larger and heavier than the item which is introduced here. However, during World War II, a small axe like Dovetail Tomahawk was often used for the execution of the political offense under the Nazis Germany government. I cannot be called the good usage of the hobby very much.
The hawk is well made just some really small touches I personally would have added, the handle was kind of blank so a good idea would be to just rap leather or cloth around it, and 2 the light color of the would was okay but something a little darker would have contrasted the blade better so maybe just stain the wood.
Really beautiful! And a great concept, steel working surface set in something easier to cast. I may try this with Aluminum. Have you considered "dry sand" for your lost foam casting? I have heard it is good but I've only done it with zinc. Also, and let me apologize in advance for being pedantic, its not a tomahawk. A tomahawk is characterized by a long handle, the length of your arm from your armpit to your wrist is a good length. Sorry again, beautiful work.
does the steel and brass connection wiggle? It looks a tad loose, aside from that the axe is beautiful; I love the recycling the metal from the cracked knife simply genius.
When you cast, you need to pack the sand, at least that's what I learned in my foundry classes, packed sand give much better finished product and lesser chance of sand mixing into the surface layer of the finished product.
@Forbidden Tut we had molds made from idk wood or metal. Idk how to create the visual for you but mold use to squezed between two layers of wet sand mixture with some adhesives and charcoal in it. The top box could be lifted up and molds taken out. Top box also had hole for metal to be poured in.

Great job !!! Just a question : don't you lose the hardening of the steel part by pouring the hot brass ?
Just a quick answer.. NO!
I believe this is why he didn't show a tempering cycle. The hot brass was probably what tempered the steel edge.
