About me:
Hi! My name is Philip and one of the people behind Lufolk. I have always been interested in the simple things in life. When I look back on history I get inspired and fascinated by the people who came up with all the smart solutions to make our everyday life easier. What you can accomplish with a few tools and great skills is impressive. The first time I got that feeling: I made this! This will be useful! Was when I made a wooden spoon as a kid. And think that was the start, I have ever since been interested in making things.

May I just say, you are one hell of a smith. I know that level of work takes years of practice, and those welds are just beautiful. Nicely done!
Thank you very much for your kind words!
I had the honor of making a similar staff for Eveylin Rysdyck, a friend, teacher and author. I was pleased to see the work again. Fine job as always.
Awesome! Thank you!
This video deserves more likes
Thank you!
It is such a pleasure to see another smith who studies and takes on projects from the age of Viking/Saxon.
Long may you continue in this field of interest.
Cheers
🇳🇿
Thank you! Absolutely! Do you have the same interest?
Very nice job and fantastic forge welding ! Thank you for sharing .
Thank you very much!
Amazing forge work! You are a very gifted smith my friend and i wish you nothing but good health and prosperity in the future.
Thank you so much! All the best to you and yours!
Amazing workmanship
Thank you very much!
You definitely do more work with the lights dimmed way down or off. Looks better. If I could do my work at night I would, but neighbors might complain
Beautiful work!
Thank you!
amazing work, watched a lot of your videos and find a lot of inspiration! thank you:)
Thank you so much!
That is some inspired forge welding.
Happy to hear that!
Nice. As a fan of historic reproductions, who is particularly fascinated by Volva Stang's this was interesting to watch.
Happy to hear that! Thank you for watching!
You have a very nice style of working
Thank you!

Thank you!
I have only just fond your videos and I'm really impressed in what you do , I haven't been forging much lately but you have reignited the interest in the one thing that will keep from going insane in retirement . Thank you for the Inspiration . Cheers from Australia . 👍🤠
Wow, thank you very much for your kind words! I'm happy you are getting inspired ! Cheers from Sweden!🙂
Nice work. Thank you for sharing. I saw this artefact when it visited our local art museum last year. I came home and built my own as was inspired by its power too. Again, great work 😊
Thank you! Great to hear that you like it and that you made your own!
As allways a plasure to see your work.... I'm Lovin' It 🤩
Great to hear! Thank you very much!
These are some really clean welds! Lovely reconstruction
Thank you very much!
Beautifully done. made one years ago. and have to make another one coming up this July. also a wrangle staff. Loved the whole video. Thanks for taking the time to share.
Thank you! Awesome! Are you forging it based on a find or do you make it your own design?
@@lufolkcrafts from finds. Looks like yours from Gavle. The wrangle staff will be a copy of one a friend of mine made some years ago. I have always wanted to try to re create the Birka staff. That would be a nice challenge. I also need to work on doing one of the augers bits from the Mastermyr find chest this fall.
@@tombrown879 nice! Yes the mästermyr chest and tools is something i would like to forge as well. I have made a couple of axes from there but i would like to make more.
Really neatly done 👍. I need to make one of those for a friend, and you've set the nar pretty high 😂. I do need to learn forgewelding...
Thanks for the detail and inspiration ❤.
Thank you very much! Go for it! I am happy to help if there is anything I can do 🙂
awesome,don't often see forge welding that doesn't involve some sort of power hammer anymore
Thanks!
very nice and some really well practiced tecniques, I wonder how they used one though....it obviously was attached to something but what?
Thank you! It's interesting to speculate how it was used. We can do qualified guesses but we'll never know.
Just over 4 minutes in and those welds lookong good!
Thank you!
@@lufolkcrafts your very welcome! You give me a lot of inspiration, and share the same love of norse/germanic iron work. This is my "everyday channel", my smithing channel is BurntMushroomBlacksmithing. If I ever get enough subs to live stream from my phone I'd love to do a collaboration/dual build thingy with ya one day if you're ever interested. Take care!🤘🍻⚒️
@@JacksonDunnoKnows cool! I will take a look. Let's stay in touch! Take care! 🙂
Just curious. What are the dangly bits at the end?
I would like to know too. The staff I'm forging here is based on a find. On the original there were traces of leather on one of the pieces but it is unknown for what and why.
what is that powder added
Borax. Used as flux.
I'm in Sweden, and I have no idea where I can buy wrought iron bars from. Do you have a supplier or is there a store you recommend?
Jag bor utanför gävle och köper från handelsstål gävle. Vet att dom finns även I uppsala men utöver det har jag dålig koll. Ska du köpa mindre mängd så kan du säker köpa av din lokala svetsfirma. Har för mig biltema har några dimensioner också.
@@lufolkcrafts Tack för hjälpen, jag bor utanför Örebro och vet inte var jag ska börja handla.
Jag kommer att leta efter webbplatser för de företag du har rekommenderat.
Tack så mycket
No gloves? Dang man how often you burn yourself?
Not so much nowadays. Guess I have learned the hard way...😅 It works well, I have a better feeling without gloves. But I am sure it is just something I got used to. If I would wear gloves I would probably get used to that as well.
@@lufolkcraftsdon’t make me call OSHA 😂😂😂
@@lufolkcraftsI got one of these staffs on Etsy they are great to walk with half of me wonders if they used these like a torch
