      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

      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.

      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.

    Try making one with the railroad spikes head as the hatchet blade itself.
    Good job tho.

    • @ToddKoch
      @ToddKoch  2 года назад

      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!

    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…

    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.

    • @ToddKoch
      @ToddKoch  2 года назад +1

      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!

    Young man, be careful testing any blade by chopping limb. Lose fingers, or hand your method.
