What should I say? Amazing work as always! And I also want to say a thank you for sharing your experience! I always learn something new from you! Keep going!
Black Beard always tidies as he goes, not a speck left. That's amazing because he's a bloke and it's rarely something that blokes think of doing. And of course everything that's repaired or made from new is mesmerising he just knows what's needed. It's magical.
I'm not an expert, but I watch a lot of RUclips videos. HaHa. Next time you try something like this, try heating up the steel. If I'm not mistaken, that should help to fill in the seams where the steel and brass joins. Instead of the brass coming into contact with cold steel and solidifying prematurely, the brass would come into contact with the hot steel and stay liquid a little longer to fill in the seam. Great video and the final product is beautiful.
Man, amazing work! A little tip, try using graphite powder for best results when seperating the molds. Worked wonders when I made a mold from a 3D printed clover! The halves seperated perfectly, without any of the sand collapsing. Keep it up!
Gorgeous looking piece of kit, even if it costed you a new pair of underwear to make it when that drill press decided to buck like a wild horse lol Thanks for sharing!
Awesome idea and very well done! I would have re-hardened the blade, though. All the casting has probably ruined the temper, which seemingly also wasnt very good beforehand, considering how easily you could cut the edge off the body of the axe.
Rehardening might be nice, but I think it might melt the brass holding it together. And the temper, as far as I could see, never got above straw yellow on the edge. Which is exactly what you want for a tempering cycle for knives. Axes might be slightly different depending on what you want. I don't mean to be disrespectful in any way, I merely wanted to add my prospective as a knife maker.
@@chaz7346 Brass has melting point of 1083°C. The optimal temperature of the steel when hardening it 800°C. So there is no risk of damaging the brass body of the axe when the smith is skilled enough to control the temperature. Concerning the straw color youre right that this is usually the optimal tempering color for a knife or an axe. In this case though the axe already had been tempered by the manufacturer, which means that the temper resulting from the casting is added on top, which reduced the hardness further.
@@niklasfischer3915 you are right about the brass melting point. I totally forgot about that, and thank you for pointing that out. But I still will respectfully disagree with you about the termper. It should not matter how many tempering cycles you do, as far as the hardness goes. You are turning the hard but brittle martensite steel grain structure into austenite, a much more durable and less brittle structure. Usually you heat the blade to straw and hold it there for about an hour and left it cool three separate times. To make sure you don't have any leftover martensite that hasn't been changed to austenite. I don't believe that adding more tempering cycles, at the right heat, would damage the hardness of the steel to a significant degree. However I would have to do some tests if I wanted to test my theory. Thank you for taking the time to respond to me sir.
@@chaz7346 You are very right by saying that the tempering converts the Martensite structure into Austenite. But as I understand it the Martensite does not fully convert into Austenite. I have been told that just some of the Martensite converts into Austenite, leaving you with a ideal mixture of Martensite and Austenite, which gives you the combination of the best of both worlds...the high hardness of the Martensite combined with the high strength and toughness of the Austenite results in the perfect cutting edge, which is resistant to dulling/deformation, but also can hold up to extrem stresses like shock or bending. A blade of which the grain-structure is purely Austenite would have a hardness of approximately 40-45 HRC which is not ideal. And that is why it is not irrelevant how long you temper a piece of hardened steel. Because the longer you temper it, the more of your precious Martensite is converted into Austernite. The result of a longer temper is a tougher but also a softer blade. Thank you for responding in such a kind manner. One rarely can lead such a respectful discussion as this one on RUclips.
@@niklasfischer3915 Interesting, I will have to do more reading into this. I had never heard that before. Thank you for telling me! Are there any resources you could direct me towards to find more information about this? The anonymity of the internet often leads to debates devolving into insults than logical arguments. Thank you!
I once Made myself a "similiar" Thing and for chopping wood its not useble at all. In every Hit you Feel the Vibration in your Hand which makes it horrible to use for Long Time.
Maybe if u heat up the steel blade before you put into the form, u got a better connection with brass (its not acting like a heatsink) but the hot steel is harder to handle
I just finished a beer, this pops up on my reccomended, and think "Okay, why not. I've seen a few BBP vids." I get about 4 minutes into it, and realize I'm gonna need another cold snack. Or wobble pop, which ever term you prefer. Yes, I got both those terms from Vice Grip garage.
maybe fill the gaps with brazing it, or would it just fall apart then? I also fear the temper is not quite there anymore but maybe after you cool it fast enough it might still be ok. Would be good to test the hardness.
You’re getting really good at molds! No failed attempts! Nice work!!!
What should I say? Amazing work as always! And I also want to say a thank you for sharing your experience! I always learn something new from you! Keep going!
@Screws and Tools, I like your work as well, I watched everyone of your videos! You sir make sure you keep going also. :)
@@backthebluepolice.7334 Thank you very much! I'm happy to read ^_^
That edge's gonna snap out of place very quickly. As a decoration might be interesting.
Man you seem to get more creative with every video. Certainly a gorgeous piece for the mantle and you are ever-improving in your mold technique

And I thought my Yorkshire pudding tray was looking a bit worse for wear. Great work as always!!
what a cool idea, putting the edge into the cast! that propably makes a really stable connection!
I'll bet you lie in bed at night and plan each little detail of these builds. Just excellent! So great to watch you do projects like this.
Isn't that what everyone does in bed?
So beautiful, your talent knows no limits my friend!
I was searching black beard coustume and i find this channel and im not dissapotment now im satisfied im ganna subscribe now
Beautiful looking hatchet and obviously very well balanced. A lot of work but truly nice workmanship.
Someone: "Go pound sand"
Black Beard: "Okay"

Man, it was awesome watching that thing come out of the mold!
Cool clever technique,versatile and worthwhile,Excellent.
Dude your skills are getting better and better 👊 respect!
Absolutely beautiful work ! I would love to have one like that 👍👍👍💯❤️🙏🙏
Excellent work brother , your work is Always very good congratulations
Beautifully done is all I can say

I have to say your methods are really interesting 👍
I really like ur attitude to make ur own tools and use them in future projects
Cool stuff
Perfetto di nuovo
Wow sir u are a true craftsman. Very beautiful
Excellent. Great result. And no shitty music like in so many videos nowadays, only the sound of machining and tools!!! Thanx!
Gorgeous. We shared this video in our homemade tools forum this week :)
I didn't expect another video so soon. What a wonderful surprise!!

As always, another masterpiece creation! Great job!
It would be a masterpiece if it was actually usable. Thanks blade is so damn soft that you could cut it with a properly heat treated knife
Great job casting that beauty!
Another piece of outstanding work.
I hope the steel wasn't softened, or had the temper ruined. What a beautiful piece!
The steel won't lost his hardness unless it changes his colour 😉
Yep, brass likes to hang on to drills. I've seen that more than once in my life, no getting around it.
I wish you could make me one? That's outstanding smithing. Great job
Outstanding craftsmanship.
You rule, bro.
This was so satisfying to watch. Great work.
Thats really neat, you might be able to help fix the brass shrinkage issue by casting a little more brass in the area and peening it to fill the gaps
Very unique Hatchet !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Another beautiful project. Thankyou
Gorgeous looking piece of kit, even if it costed you a new pair of underwear to make it when that drill press decided to buck like a wild horse lol
Thanks for sharing!
Great video as always and great casting both bronze and aluminium
Beautiful hatchet
yeah...It was again quite a nice shot...almost an octet rather a sixer...hats off boy
Beautiful axe good job well done my friend
Really cool idea. As usual you made it beautifully! Thanks
Excellent work👍👍👍 . Thanks for sharing
I would so own that hatchet, amazing work.
That's a great project, nice balance
Wow, stunning work. You are amazing
Beautiful job Sir!
I want it very good job!!
Awesome job you did,Black Beard AAAARRRRRRRR!!!!!!
As usual very interesting approach! Thx for video! I enjoy them
fantastic and very nice work !
A work of art no less.
held on by the 3 holes he drilled in the end. Nasty....
Great methods and amazing result!! Thx!!
professional in his work
just what i needed on a stormy day
Absolutely awesome
Te quedó muy bien ese hacha
Cool ax 👍🏿 Thank you for video and good luck
Awesome ! 😎👍🏻 Great Work 😎👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Beautiful axe
So much work wow Respect
Good job , amazing. I always learn a lot of new think from you. Thanks for sharing
A gorgeous finish, dude! It looks amazing! Keep going strong! 🍻🤘💜

GREAT PIECE !!! for the mold its just clay or a mixture ...
Awesome informational educational video experience Y'alls God Bless Ya 🙌🙏
The hatchet locks really cool. But is the blade hard? Because after casting the blade looks drained.
My thoughts exactly! Really cool build, I just expected him to re-harden and temper the edge at the end.
@@davidcaverly9659 I doubt it will mater as the handle is basically unusable being made of metal due to the vibration
Really cool. Great job on this one.
what about hit feedback by metal holding? is it the same on metal than a wood?
I would assume this is more decorative than functional
