I never get bored watching you. Thanks for sharing!
Still the most stylish forge lighting i've seen to date. Always makes me grunt in approval.
Great Job! Are you going to add the curve later? The side profile in the book looks to have more of a curve.
Sweet build
Need to make a vid of you putting a handle on it, also we should have gotten one for the hammer, dont leave us hanging this time dude! Excellent work!
👍 Fantastic content ! This would be a great series of videos. Not much for French either but your craftsmanship makes the pictures come to life.
It is very interesting to look at Your work! Wow!
These spontaneous vids were a great idea. Just one constructive comment. All adze blades are slightly curved so they meet the material flat at your feet. With the adze as flat as it is now it would dig into the material in a chopping angle instead of a glancing/flattening angle if that makes sense
I do believe that Liam appreciates his new power hammer!
loved the reaction of picking the adze to forge...not even an axe 😂 awesome vid mate!
You could always use the app "google translate" on the fly with your camera for the book. Not perfect but might help. Fun video as always!!
Imagine doing all of that by hand. What a difference a proper tools can make. Looks great
Zack Permenter it ain’t that much harder by hand with the proper hand tools ;) just more labor.
@@broadusthompson1666 Agreed. All with the proper tools and sufficient time.
never seen that kind of control with the power hammer, pretty cool
In case you didn't know, you made a clogmaker tool. And this particular design seems to be from Britanny, the western part of France. I don't know if it's an axe or not, but nice job ! :)
Hey Liam... remember the slow mo. pizza eating cinematic sequence you filmed ages ago? I may have mentioned it once or twice...
Anyway... do one. Again.
With so many anvils at your disposal, how do you decide which one to use? I have a much easier decision since I have one anvil and one ASO, but curious on how you decide which one to use. Do you rotate them, or is just a " I think I'll use this one today."
Canister damascus axe from all your plugs? That would be real bad a$$!
You are the BEST
The picture showed a straight blade which you have but it also curve up toward the handle. It would seem quite difficult to cut any thing without a upward curve in the blade. unless I am missing something.
Just for a reference, I forged a guy an adze a couple weeks ago that has a round eye and he said it works great! So I guess they must work well that way. Good videos.
Edit: beautiful finished adze also!
Sweet! I'm in the market for an adze. I'll just take this one off of your hands for you and call the search done.
Very Cool Axe Sir
please do more of those vids :D
awesome man!!!
french adze never have square eyes, they are round most of the time. the one you made is a clogmaker adze. i'n that book wen it's written "fer29x12" (for this one) it's the size of the tool in cm ;)
nice work as always !!
Hey Liam, any chance you will be doing any knife making in the near future?
For just getting a power hammer you really seem to know how to use one. Your old shop didn't have one so where did you pick up your power hammer skills?
it reminds me of my Asian ho shovel thingy. forget the name. Just add a bit of an angle and a shovel handle and you got a killer farm tool.
Love to know what the name is
Isent the hammer end way too large, relative to the adze enf?
That thing would make a good poundaski (Pulaski/wedge pounder)
You should do something again with Alex Steele and his work buddy will was good your visit
How are those Nicks boots treating your feet these days?
“Lay zatch” = Les Haches
Lay is too much American accent. The e sounds more like the e from egg. The s would be more of a z which is used to join with the next word haches. Of which the h is niet pronounced. Sounds more like ash, asssshh.
That translates to "The Axes"
looks thinner than the drawings but that may just be the angle.
I almost missed this video. I was blocking adze! :D
In normal French speech, the 'h' is silent and so is the 's', so a close English approximation would be "lays ash".
Well at least you adzevised in the title this video would be full of adze.
I'm french, "haches" need to be prononced like "ash"
Spontaneous Axe Challenge: Rule 1: Randomly select a page and pick an illustration. Rule 2: Make whatever I want.
If he was to do ancestry.com, it would come back Direct descendant of Popeye the sailor man.
The adze is described as a sabotier's adze, sabotier were shoe or wooden clog makers. Awesome work mate, love the challenge, and your power hammer control is amazing!
Outstanding control on that power hammer. How could you be surprised when you have outstanding control on all aspects of your blacksmithing.
Ever make go devils or other splitting axes? Lots of beautiful axes for getting trees down, limbing them and chopping them up. But I don’t see any splitting axes. Thanks for the videos. You make beautiful tools. Would like to get one one day.
You should make a series numbered for each make you do. So it can be found incase some one misses an episode. I love the idea of pic a picture & make it .
Did you ever finish heat treating and finishing the first spontaneous axe?
You should hyper link the first axe challenge in this video
you should intro every video with that outro lol would have been badass if he caught it though
What happened to the almost 5 lb mini sledge you made? Do you like it?
something like "lay Ashe" but good enough!
I like the random nature of the project.
Nice work! It’s gonna look great!
You have to add a downwards curve as well
Look pretty good, I think the blade is not high enough on the eye. All adzes I have used the blade is flush with the top of the eye. The picture you are working from has the eye a little above the blade but not nearly as much as you made it. I look forward to seeing it compleated.
I love that girly scream at the end!!! 🤣😂🤣😂 Liam Hoffman possibly branching out into Adze production........? 🤔
What is the plural of adze?
Design then curve the blade? Won't that distort the design?
I made a little one hand adze last week. I haven't finished watching the video yet but it didn't turn out anywhere near as good as I imagine yours will.
Pretty dam good.
Your control with the power hammer has already come a really long way in the short time you've had it. Looks like it's well on it's way to becoming an extension of yourself. = ) That's what I live for, honing my skill with the use of tools. = D Keep up the great work man!
If you're wondering what an adze looks like you can always go to Acorn to Arabella. According to the picture looks like he should be putting a little bit of angle into the blade.
Fig. 556 is the one. Fig. 557 with the 2 triangular arrows points at the 2 on the right.
Edit: hey or I can watch for another minute and see that you figured it out. Oh well. I'm leaving it.
Its amazing the control you have on the power hammer. Great video look forward to the finish piece 👍
This series is going to be really good.
Love these videos you should auction off these builds and donate the money
Awesome control on the hammer Liam - thanks for the vid 👍🏻 best Mic
Great job it is going to look beautiful when you are done, as always love the vid and keep them coming 🔨💪
love the artistic way to 🔥 the forge
YES, Aw nothin
I love your work....however I think you've missed the mark a bit. The internet is full of negativity so I I rarely criticize.
I think the adze blade should be further towards the outer end of the tool, you have the blade coming off at mid haft. This will not cut well, it's more like a nice hammer with a garden hoe than the precision cutting tool in the illustration.
I understand that you are trying to reproduce a tool from a rather crude drawing, and perhaps you've never used an adze so that detail might be easy to miss. I'm no blacksmith ....so I'm not criticizing your skills , but I am a user of tools
In the future I'd love to see you build a reversible, off set headed hewing axe with a non tapered eye so that it could be used right and left handed using one square , straight handle. There is a video on a Finnish log cabin where a guy wields such an axe. Check it out.
Lots of illustrations on Google images.
Are you sure the eye of that axe you mentioned isn’t tapered in both directions? An untapered eye doesn’t hold a handle very well unless I’m missing something about how the handle attaches differently to said axe. It is my understanding that almost hewing axes can be mounted either left or right handedly on a handle.
There’s an interesting Australian method I’ve seen of hanging a hewing axe without a wedge in a kerf but a large wedge cut out of a cross section the same shape as the eye. So the handle can be easily removed and the axe turned around the other way. The axes I’ve seen this done on were just ordinary hewing axes.
@@broadusthompson1666 It could be....perhaps we talking about similar axes. The one I saw had a big square swedge at the end of the handle, I assumed it was not tapered and just friction fit because of the big nub protruding out....but it's entirely possible it tapered both ways.
I bet. Your customers in that two year long backlog would love to watch a video of you making like, a ton, of axes in addition to this kind of stuff. Just sayin'
carp614 so all those punched blocks that were ready to be axes wasn’t enough evidence of the axes being made?
