I did make those tools, in fact I was planning on making a video on how to make some basic tools for blacksmithing soon! I appreciate the feedback as always!
You just got yourself a new subscriber my friend. The only suggestion I have is to upset the spike end into itself before punching the eye. This will allow you to draw out a wider bit and not have to cut off the end to square it up later, saving material and making a bigger cutting surface. Makes me want to forge another hawk now....
I appreciate the support! That is a great suggestion, I was having troubles with getting a wide enough axe face so I will be sure to do that next time I make another tomahawk
Yup, there’s a lot to improve here but it’s all about learning! I want to re-try this project again sometime soon… I’d like to do a proper fit up instead of a wedge, make it better proportionally, etc.
Good job with very little equipment. But instead of cutting off the end, collapse it back before drawing out. I know I didn't use the right term, my mind went blank on the process name.
Thanks, I think the term you’re looking for is upsetting the metal. I will be sure to try that next time, I’ve got a few people who have given similar advice and it seems like a good idea for sure!
wow that's awesome I'm going to have to make some
Its a really fun project! Good for drifting practice too!
@@ToddKoch did you make those tools? Might be a good video if you did?

We’ll I just started forging and will give this a go this weekend keep making content man 🤘💀🤘
Thank you for adding in your times and Temps for your heat treat process!
Yeah man, no problem!
Railroad spikes can never be fully hardened, their just is not enough carbon in the metal
You have a long way to go for Tomahawk making. But you tried, so you didn't fail.

Well done, young man. Keep up the great work.
Thanks, I appreciate the support!
nice job. Forge On. God Bless.
Thanks!
Tomahawk for killing White Eyes
Looks cool man, I'll have to give it a shot sometime.
Yeah it’s definitely a fun one!
Try making one with the railroad spikes head as the hatchet blade itself.
Good job tho.
I have seen people do that, and it seems like a good way to get the blade formation down. I’ll be sure to try that style out too sometime!
Are you making any new videos soon?
This is coo! What type of shed are you using? I am thinking of using my shed for forging, but it is looking like I need a bigger one…
Too bad it can never be hardened, beautiful axe
Cool👍🏻

@@ToddKoch your doing great! keep up the good work and keep on learning.
Thanks!
Show de bola.
Ok
Young man, be careful testing any blade by chopping limb. Lose fingers, or hand your method.
