Props to blacksmith Tony Swatton here who was the original smith for the Man at Arms Series
Yep, some loser in a weird hat took his place.
Thought he seemed familiar
Wow, he starred in other forging shows??
I remember years ago me and my dad would chill out and just watch this show, good times
Same
@@a10warthog15 BRRRTTT
Awww yeah, that's Tony Swatton, remember him from the early days of Awe Me's channel.
his name is Tony Swatton
Who’s is
@@Massthetrainfanatic The blacksmith in the video.
He was also the original blacksmith on Man at Arms.
Didn’t he do the pirates of the Caribbean swords?
Oh I thought y’all were talking about the narrator loo
@@davidswanson5669 yep
"But, my lord, the smith could not finish the ax on time because ye ol' plasma cutter was down for maintenance."
The title for this episode is misleading.
This is how Gimli's axe was made in the mines of Moria.
And they call it a mine.
AAAA MIIIINNNNEEEE.
@@Ntmoffi A miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh :p
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa mmmmmmmmmmmiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnneeeee!!!!
I recognize that smith. He used to be on Man At Arms
Finally, now I can manufacture my medieval axes. Thanks
“authentic replica” That seems like an oxymoron.
It's not. The "authentic" means "true to original design" rather than "not a copy"
@Romaji Romaji is the method of writing Japanese words using the Roman alphabet. But you are writing in English. That seems like a contradiction.
@@romajimamulo yeah but that sentence is still an oxymoron
How its made "medieval axe"
Uses 72 strips of varying composition steel*
Uses power hammer*
Uses chop saw*
Uses plasma cutter*
Cuts groove in oak handle*
Lol 1 of these sounds true to the title of video.
so
@@fletcher4098 and?
what’s your point
lol
OH NOES
Two English kings Harold and Richard the Third, were hacked to death on the battlefield, so axes may have been involved. Also Charles the First was the victim of an axe, as was his grandmother Mary Queen of Scots. Not a weapon to be taken lightly, in fact during the Wars of the Roses many people died in battle from both axe, mace and sword wounds, and the battles of that war were bloodier, than those in the later English Civil War.
Okay I know this dude is a legend, but who wants to see how an actual medieval battle ax is made of start to finish? And who’s ax would win?!
A real axe is what I came here to see. Guess I'll have to keep looking.
there is a show that does that. its called "Forged in Fire"
@@calebjcover yeah but I've seen most of those. I want to see something new.
A modern axe with forged modern high carbon steel is far superior.
@@calebjcover "Forged in Plotlines"
I miss Tony Swatton...The Original Man at Arms... Give a check in 1st season of Man at Arms series in the Awe Me Channel
This guy is an awesome Smith, but by definition this is NOT how MEDIEVAL axes were made.unless you can point me in the direction of Ye Olde plasma cutter and metal saw that is....
Ahem watch Back to the Future 3 or 1000 Ways to die in the West for proof buddy.
it says in the video replica for tv or movies.
@@addman yes but you have to watch the video to know that.if your going to give a video a title give it the correct one.especially if the first few words are "how it's made"
i guess he shouldn't have used a pen or modern paper or a belt sander or carbon steel then. shut the fuck up armchair critic.
@@486dx33mhz how bout you stfu. Because technically they're right. There weren't any of those in medieval times. If you're gonna say how medieval axes axe made then it should be by someone who does them that way. Otherwise title it appropriately as how medieval axe replicas are made. Don't like someone calling you out? Gonna tell ME to stfu too? Because quite frankly I don't give 2 shits if you don't like what I say. This video was wrongly titled.
Hey it's Tony Swatton From Man At Arms. WASOME!!!!!
That was dope! 👌🏾
Who doesn't love science
Movie sets use plastic axes spray painted to look metal. way cheaper and safer.
depends on the scene and actor. there will usually be at least three sets of weapons, often four.. a "hero" set which is the real thing, made to look really good. these are used for close ups and other scenes where the detail of the weapon will be seen. then there is a version used for longer shots and such which are simplified and lighter, easier to wear and carry but still looking convincing unless you see them upclose.
for battle scenes you usually have 'stunt' versions made from rubber or otherwise designed to look real but be safe to swing around where you might hit people. the main actors and foreground cast will usually get a high quality version to look good on screen, background extras (especially ones in the far background) usually get lower quality ones that up close look fake but in the background at least look like a weapon.
Fascinating
They could have found someone better to do this I am sure. I have seen a lot of people making blades and one thing they suggest you never do is quench it in water. I have always seen it done in oil. Prevents rapid cooling and deformation of the metal.
ahhhh yes the typical youtube commenter who knows better than experts because "they've seen videos" take a fucking seat bro.
the reason he quenched the back half of it like that is because YOU WANT rapid cooling because that hardens it and you need the back half that holds in the handle to be hard and NOT soft because you do not want it deforming, dropping the axe axe, or breaking.... notice he didn't quench the cutting edge...also... it's not a long skinny blade.... clearly you have not seen much blacksmithing lol
Baltimore knife and sword is awesome
I just realized: it would have been cool if a character in the Highlander movies/tv show had a large axe instead of a sword.
A hit harder to conceal in the modern era.
There was an episode. I think it's called homeland. The enemy is called kanwolf.
@@fredfry5100 Cool ! I must've forgot about that episode.
And the result is fierce.
Lol as it looks like a half eaten ritz cracker
An amazing art work made by an amazing blacksmith
Tony is an awesome Smith.
I remember back in the day when Tony was over man at arms
Yeah. Wasn't expecting to see him on HiM
Who knew medieval axes involved plasma cutters.
Thought I was watching Man At Arms for a moment lol
One swing and that blade with fly off
"replica"
Actually, attaching an axe head to the shaft that way is fairly common, that’s how tomahawks are attached, for example. As long as the fit is tight, which it looks like it is, this method can be as strong as a wedge, and much easier to replace, if necessary
Also, just because it’s a replica doesn’t mean it’s not usable or shouldn’t be made well
Like 90% of the axes they showed in the beginning would never work in an actual battlefield, they should’ve called this video “prop axes” instead of “medieval battleaxes”
So he basically did damascus steel
No, just a pattern steel. Damascus steel actually got it's pattern from other impurities in the iron ore, where patterned steel is just different carbon content layers.
@@nobodyspecial4702 I already know, it's just that I didn't know what really makes steel damascus steel
But like... WHICH oil do they use to keep it from rusting?!?!?!
MAN AT ARMS LETS GOOO
Rock, Paper, Scissors. Respond with an answer first then look at what I chose.

Rock!
Do they use plates rather than blocks because its easier?
Forge welding alternating layers of differing steel plates like done here is to make the "Damascus" steel look in the finished product. It is only done this way for the pattern in the finished steel. If you were just making an axe for normal usage, a block of 1080 steel or the like would be just fine.
using multiple plates folded and hammered together actually produces a stronger result than just carving a solid block. it has to do with the crystalline microstructures that result from the working. the end result is stronger and less prone to damage. in medieval times a blacksmith would take a bar of iron and hammer it flat, fold it over on itself, hammer it flat again, etc. many times before doing the actual work of shaping it. the exact number depending heavily on the quality of the metal. (cultures with really poor quality iron to start with, like Japan, usually develop techniques of doing this process an immense number of times to get results that cultures with access to higher quality iron could do with only a few dozen folds)
Found all collection armor and weapons?
Medieval axes made with medieval machinery.
Cool
TONY!!!
I know that guy! he runs BKS!
Not to be that guy but.. this is the messiest forging of an axe head I have ever seen
Can I Axe you a question?
It's Tony
3:04 what if someone touched it?
It would burn your skin and flesh so quickly that you wouldn't even feel the temperature.
Rivets never stregthening an wooden shaft.... If then lugs are nailed on but an rivet weakening an shaft and have no funktion
Is this the Guys at Baltimore Knife & Steel? They used to put out videos on the Awe Me RUclips channel.
So... fake Damascene Steel, then?
True "Damascus" doesn't exist any more.
Welcome to how it's made reforged 😂
How to roast a prime rib.
Great upload from México
"A colleague"
We needed this knowledge pre election 😈
Very misleading>
Are they making a reproduction axe, or a prop for movies and television?
They mention SEVERAL times during the video that they are props for movies and tv
@@Boudico Correct, they do mention that, and that is misleading.
Movies and TV largely use safe props.
Rubber, or very flexible options.
They will usually make versions for different scenes.
An actual steel reproduction is unlikely to be a TV or Movie prop, except in a sheath, or as a wall hanging.
Nice video

Hi
Oh neat, it's fake Wootz
I thought chilly powder lol
It’s ready for.... “Axe-tion”
.....that was an awful joke, sorry
this guy be like from World of warcraft or some shit
How medieval axes weren't made. Fixed your title mistake.
This reminds me of Forged in Fire! It's almost exactly the same forging process of shaping the head of an axe!
"With a single blow it could break through a knights armor and fatally wound him." Uh... no it couldn't Unless the knight was only wearing padded armor like a gamberson it is very unlikely. Mail armor you'd run the risk of fracturing bone, and possibly the mail breaking and causing a cut, but full field plate would pretty much be unfazed outside of bashing their helmet in order to cause a possible concussion. I was surprised when I watched this though. Some of the examples shown in this video are crappy wall hanging mall ninja axes. The one made by the actually smith is quite nice though. It's well made. Why not just show actual well made replica's like the one made in this episode? They aren't hard to find. Oh well. It was fun being pedantic just for lols sake.
Those guys looks so macho
⛏️
The people who dislike are the people who got hit by a ax
More like U shape
If you're not going to make a weapon to kill don't try grabbing for it when you have nothing left to defend yourself with.
Nobody’s going to talk about how uncomfortable that chair looks?
It’s a torture device

Nope, look again. You were 4th. Too bad!!
@@SMichaelDeHart no too bad to you he was 10th place
@@MasonTheOneLooneyDude obviously, you failed mathematics and English. The info show he was 4th and not "first". Try again!!
@@SMichaelDeHart no stop being such a error person no need to say "too bad" or "try again" cuz those are just stupid failure messages from a mario game or a computer just dont be such a big disgrace nor a jerk god damn it
@@MasonTheOneLooneyDude How about this...um, no. Last time I checked, I still live in a free country and when idiots put "first" in the comments, I like to advise them of their mistake. If you don't like it or can't accept it, pound sand. You might get a better response.
This has nothing to do with ; Medieval Axes ! Bad Movie - Fake News.
