Forging a Bearded Axe for Skallagrim

- In this video i make a wrapped eye wrought iron "type B" viking axe for Skallagrim.
I last tried to forge a wrapped eye axe almost a year ago, and i was very comfident going in to this, however it was alot harder than i thought. For me the welding of the eye was a very hard and i had to redo it 3 times.
Anyways i hope you enjoy the video!

Wow, it looks amazing! Thank you so much for putting all this time and effort into making the axe, and paying so much attention to detail.
The wrought iron makes it special. I've rarely seen anyone work with iron, most bladesmiths use mild steel. Anyway, it was great to see the process, and I'm looking forward to trying it out. :)
Yo
Damn northmen!!!
So he really is a blacksmith, cause blacksmith work with iron. the most other smiths with steel
@@Altair1193 blacksmiths work with iron based and hard metals. A whitesmith works gold and silver, precious metals, and I may have left some metals out, as I don't know much about whitesmith work yet. Since steel is just iron and carbon, any smith that works steel is a blacksmith.
The information on whitesmiths is just what I've heard, but I'll look into it. It may be different.
Okay, so what I was told about whitesmiths was wrong completely. It referred/refers to anyone that does finishing work on metal or works tin. I always thought that tin workers were in their own category, but i guess there are places where smithing work overlaps.
I find this more relaxing than any ASMR video.
This is a man’s ASMR.
Great job on that axe. I came here from Skals channel to see how it was made. Not disappointed.
Great axe you made. I enjoyed when you talked about the axe at the end, good to get more insight.
Thanks alot!
Not gonna lie...if it was me unboxing that thing I'd giggle like a little girl
Very Nice. Just saw the Testing by Skall video today. Really a nice tough axe. Really dual purpose... primary fighting, but very usable for bushcraft.
Thats true! Thanks for watching!
You’re very talented! I’m glad you decided to stick it out with the forging, it certainly is worth the aggravation and now you learned how. Thanks for sharing!
Coming from skall here! Great work!
Can't wait for more!
Thanks and welcome!
very beautiful axe!!!!!
A thing of beauty, no wonder smiths were revered
I realy like fitting a axe head onto the handle...I've learned some things from you . Thanks
The rustic aesthetic you got going on with some of your stuff is really great in my opinion. Also saw it performed well in Skallagrim's vid. Cool stuff!
Beautiful! As another artist I follow (Bobby Duke) would say..."I want that." Someday...
7:15 Traditional Scandinavian angle grinder from 900 AD.
That is some good craftmanship Nils!

What an absolutely gorgeous axe! Well done mate!
Very well made
It's a beautiful axe, well done!
Man you are one brutal skeggøx maker to use traditional techniques. Also thanks sharing with us and for making this for skallagrim that was very righteous of you.
Thanks. I like your comments after the build. Keep posting please.
Amazing that you successfully pushed your limits! Great craftsmanship!
Beautiful work, man. It was oddly therapeutic to watch you shape that axe by hand. Thank you.
Beautiful axe!
Just incredible sir. Thank you.
Thank you very much!
Awesome!! Great job !😉👍🏽😁
Nice work, I enjoyed watching you make that
Wow! Amazing work! How nice to see a true master at work! Rare sight these days!
very nice job and like how you work that is old school style i like it
I want one! Brilliant!
this looked way more complicated than I was expecting. Great work!
Beautiful!
looks great
Amazing! Glad to have found your channel!
Thank you! Im glad you found it :)
You have awesome skills with metal.
That is awesome.
I really enjoy watching you work. It's a fascinating process and oddly soothing as well.
Thank you very much Josh!
So much effort!
Very nice.
Amazing!
The Buddy Rich of the forge right here
Beautiful axe. Raw linseed oil is best for saturating the wood. Boiled linseed oil cures to make a coating in the end if that is desired.
Lovely work. Love the use of wrought iron instead of mild steel. Do you think you would've gotten some sort of interesting pattern from etching the wrought iron?
I did! I mean it depends on how you stack and/or turn the billet. Its not as clear a damascus pattern, but it does show grain and therefore reminds me of wood a little bit. Compared to mild steel its very beautiful!
Very good congratulations
aaaand subscribed. great piece of practical art you made.
Thanks! Hope you will enjoy my videos :)
Glad you stuck with it after some challenges at the start. I enjoy your videos and appreciate you sharing your skill and talent!
Thank you Curt!
Amazing craftsmanship. You deserve way more subscribers
Thank you!
Can't wait to see Skall trying to destroy everything around him with that piece of art. Great work.
I do not forge knives or axes and never look at videos on the subject. I decided to look at yours in this quiet morning before going out of my comfort zone to my forge welding and I am very glad I did.
The transformation of the billets in this axe is magic. Truly magical. The video is well made. The work is expertly conducted. I enjoyed every minute of it. Comments in videos are often boring : we do not need to be told what we have seen. Your comments added information we could not have seen in the video. I thank you.
Oh thank you very much! I plan to make a in depth video on the folded eye in the future! Hope you stick around for that!
That was AWESOME
awesome axe
This axe is epic! Well done!
Tack you very much sir!
Beautiful axe.. well done sir!

Hello
I enjoyed your video, the Axe looks really beautiful and it´s interesting to see the way you have forged the Axe.
Thanks for sharing and that we could find your channel. I needed to subscribe !
Thank you for this all - till next time
Thank you very much!
My fav axe from a game
What game?
@ Counter blox. Its counter strike. But in roblox XD
Very fine axe
Thank you!
Riktigt fin yxa!
How many tanks of propane did you go through? In Scandinavia is coal cheaper to forge with than propane?
Awesome job,think how hard it was outfit a large Army.
bad ass axe and man
Very awesome! Saw Skallagrim opening the axe you sent him then tried to go to your website, which didn't work for me. But then YT's algorithm did its job for once and recommended the video of you making it!
Sorry about that, my website is under construction, will be back shortly!
@ its all good. amazing craftmanship on the axe though.
Thanks man!
Great video! What weight is the head?
Master
I just watched the video on Skillagrim
Outstanding work would like to have one
Thank you very much! Really apriciate it!
If you plan on making a lot more shafts you should look into getting, or building, a Täljhäst.
I actually made one, and it was terrible! I need to make a better one ;)
Amazing work. It’s hard to find a true well made bearded axe. Especially in this style which is my favorite. How much to get one lol
I would like to know that also.
It’s a smokn hot forge that will weld wrought iron, would live to see a video on tour gas forge.
Beautiful work!
Maybe i should do a tour video + q&a as a 1k sub special?
Nils Ögren Now you’re talking!!!
Cheers from NZ🇳🇿
pretty sure a basic form of crucible steel was available during the time of the Vikings, but I'm not sure where. Ulfberht swords were made with steel if I'm not mistaken.
I need to know how much that would cost to have one lol
In your previous attempts which step was the most difficult? It took me the most time to learn how to weld the beard to the eye correctly.
Getting the eye welded propperly is the hardest part in my opinion!
What did ancient smiths use instead ob angle/belt grinders? BTW displaying the axe on top of the mossy rock looked really cool 😎.
Files, stones and so forth! I guess
