Truly delightful to watch the synergy between people forging together! I started carpentry with hand tools a few years ago. I never expected to do so much work with axe/hatchet: shaping stool/bench legs, roughing out all sorts of things, splitting wide boards, etc. Even hewing short logs to make benches. My tool is too soft to hold an edge for long and too thick to chop with little effort. I was just thinking how nice it'd be to invest in a quality tool like this one when you said you'd be giving it away. I hope it goes to someone who will get a lifetime of delightful use from it!
1) I am jealous you get to be friend with Torbjorn. 2) I really respect that you filed the axe profile when you had a huge belt grinder (I would have filed it too) and 3) I think you’re extremely brave to buff an edge with an angle grinder.
My favorite part of blacksmithing is working with a friend. Having a striker and learning how to communicate what and how to do. Its such a fun and giving experience.
No job I know of is harder with two people. Thanks for showing us your struggles. Makes me feel better about struggling while trying to accomplish something by myself.
By Hammer and Hand All Arts Do Stand. Thanks so much for sharing. Mesmerising and inspiring. I currently work for a local authority overseeing Children’s Services, within a deprived city in the UK. Due to the terrible things I see and hear everyday, my own mental health has deteriorated to the point that I am currently on an extended break from work to recover. A big part of my recovery has been watching your videos. I am so inspired, I have decided to enrol on a three day beginner’s Smithing course, so thank you. I can’t wait.
your video came up as a suggestion, and I had to watch as my Grandfather was a blacksmith, as well as a builder, carpenter and farmer, he was a true pioneer here in Australia. loved watching your work, and seeing the finished product.
OMG, it would be such a pleasure have this beautiful piece here in Brazil! Perfect work yours by now, came in here because I already love the work of @torbjornahman and now I'm going to watch and subscribe for your channel! #LetMeHaveThisAxe #FromBrazil #ChooseMePlease #BlacksmithArt

Unfortunatly Nick never answered the call to receive the axe, so I had to pick another winner: simon myers If I dont hear from him/her I will pick another winner in 7 days The giveaway will end 1st September. I will then ask the winner here in the comment section to contact me via email. The winner will be selected randomly! Good luck :) /Nils
Two of my favourite blacksmiths forging an beautiful axe together... woud really like to own this axe. I hope I am the lucky one! I am already waiting for your next videos 😊
Great video! ive been making small knives and decorative pieces for a while but want to break into axe forging. How well does 1045 hold up durability wise over time? I'd imagine using somethin low carbon for the head and then forge welding 1080 or 1095 for the blade would be longer lasting no?
As a fan of antique tools, it's refreshing to see someone working in the old methods, making virtually everything by hand, rather than taking a modern tool or leftover bit of material and modifying it with power hammers, saws, and grinders. THIS is blacksmithing. Well done, Lads, very good indeed. Very impressive.
Just recently found your channel after researching some axes I found metal detecting. Started with restoring others’ work and now finding the inspiration from your videos to slowly step into the forging world. Thanks for the great content and keeping the craftsmanship alive! In a world of mass production, it’s extremely refreshing to see you and others do what you do.
Very nice hand axe. I’ve been admiring Torbjorn’s work for a number of years. This is the first time I’ve seen Nils Ogren’s work. Will definitely check him out.
This has been a great channel to find. I go to The American College of the Building Arts (ACBA), which is a school for traditional trades such as blacksmithing. On the other hand, I am a timber framer and have made many friends with my blacksmithing classmates, who recommend me to Torbjorn and your channels. They have been a joy to watch.
I am still learning a lot of the basics, I am a toolmaker by trade. Enjoy making and fixing things. You and Thorbjorn are respected forge experts by my standards. I enjoy craftsmanship that make it seem so easy. Thank you very much.
My grand-grand father was a blacksmith (maréchal-ferrant in French) and your vidéo reminds me old, really old but good moments with him in front of the fire. Thank you very much 🙏🙏🙏
Great job guys it’s so good to see you can work together on such a cool piece of work with both stamps of very talented people always good to watch you guys work, cheers from Australia!
I was already subscribed to Torbjorn, and tour video came up on my feed, so naturally you get a subscribe as well Who am I separate such good friends Saludos Cordiales
I have a huge appreciation for medal working/forging. Your skills and craftsmanship is clearly evident. I truely enjoy watching a Master at work. Well done Sir 👏 👍
I loved watching your process! I'm an amateur blacksmith and can appreciate the skill and effort involved. I especially enjoyed watching the 2 of you work together. Thank you!
I completely understand using the modern technologies like the power hammer for your day-to-day production, but I absolutely love when your videos are 100% done by hand. Amazing work! Something I aspire to!
I truly enjoyed watching the forging of such a nice tool. I have not tried anything this in-depth yet. But I have forged a few knives from old springs. This video has inspired me to go make some more. Thanks for sharing.
Got my 18yo son at up with a forge n anvil. We have made our own hammers, tongs, and some hardy tools. It's something fun and useful we can learn to do together! Ty for your videos! They give us tips, and techniques if we watch carefully.
Been watching you for a long time and your homemade power hammer video is what I had seen first. This video really made me laugh out loud with the editing haha. Good work fellas.
I really enjoy watching you two working together!😀 You two are my inspirations to start metalworking and forging as a hobby and to start to explore new crafts. I follow your channel almost from the beginnings, I think this beginner video series has a great potential in it! I really hope to see more collaboration videos with you two!😊 All the best and take care! Tack så mycket!🙂
Great job, I have been following torbjorn for'a'while'now, and you both did a nice work on this axe. I bought myself some steel I keep to forge an axe too ! Watching your video make me want to start this project, I hope I will soon !
It was nice to see how two people work with such joy together to help one another. I am forging since January this year and I dont have people in my peer who share my hobby.
The axe with the leather sheath arrived in Marlow, UK today. Really pleased. It is really sharp and has been put in the workshop. Thank you so much Nils.

Happy to hear it arrived safely! You now own a very rare axe :)
La complicité dans votre travail est vraiment agréable à voir, et le rendu de la hache est magnifique. Continuez à nous montrer de belles choses. Hâte de voir votre prochaine collaboration!
Wow Nils that axe is beautiful. I just recently tried blacksmithing and i got instantly hooked. Both you and thorbjörn are great inspirations. Skål fra Danmark
Ever since i got my hands on a real Gränsfors Bruk axe i have been tempted to get an carpenters axe but never got around to it. Really appreciate your and Torbjörns work!
loved the acting, the driving, the dancing and ofcourse the forging process. Like how the two of you work together and the axe came out stunning, great job!
What a fantastic video! I have been watching Torbjorn for a while now, but only just came across your channel. I look forward to browsing your past videos!
Hello ! i get into forging recently, and, as a complete beginner with almost no tools, i can abslutely relate on the fact that a friend's help is better than anything ! you did a great job together, this axe looks amazing !
Nils, you and Torbjorn, are amazing smiths and makers, i wish I could have one of your axes, and with this opportunity, you and torjborn on the same piece, its absolutely prescious, i want that!!
This was one of the best videos I've seen from either of you. It's plain you're both great smiths, but it was very entertaining!!! It reminded me of the old black and white silent Laurel and Hardy movies. Thank you!
Looks awesome! RUclips recommended this video to me, probably because I've been following Torbjörn for years. Pozdrav iz Hrvatske (greetings from Croatia)!
Han kommer direkt! Han kommer fortare än tåget! Vilken vän att ha ändå. Så många gånger ett extra par händer vore oumbärligt i smedjan. 🙌 Vilken vacker skapelse ni åstadkom tillsammans dessutom. 😍
I have one long time friend who is a blacksmith. He has a T shirt that says "It's a Polyhammerous thing" Loved it! Me, I am into wood. Metal maybe in another life line....
Two masters at work! Couldn't ask for a better video! Great work👍

What a star studded crew. The axe is wonder. I really like the treatment of the handle. Torbjorn's arrival was terrific.

It always a treat to see both of you working together!

It never ceases to amaze me how blacksmiths turn lumps of metal into the most useful and versatile tools. I love watching such videos.
That was fun to watch - thank you both.
Torbjorn to the rescue! This is an awesome collaboration! I love how he zoomed over! Great looking axe! Wonderful video Nils ❤🔥🪓
15:02 It is absolutely mesmerizing watching tools appear from a block of steel! Thanks to the both of you for sharing your craft.
Very nice cooperation. Thorbjorn's arrival was super arranged. More videos like this.👍
your video came up as a suggestion, and I had to watch as my Grandfather was a blacksmith, as well as a builder, carpenter and farmer, he was a true pioneer here in Australia. loved watching your work, and seeing the finished product.
I really appreciate the craftsmanship you both share, it’s an ancient art but it’s not antiquated!
Great job, Master! And Thornbjorn’s participation in the work is a separate amazingly positive aspect of the work! Thank you!👍👍👍
My good friend, Michael, was a remarkable forger. I would have shared this with him; but, sadly, he has passed.
Thank you both. 🙂
It is good to see two smiths working together. I liked seeing the concert of the smith and striker working together. Keep up the good work.
I generally work alone, but you've inspired me to find a blacksmith friend with whom I can work and laugh together. Great video.
OMG, it would be such a pleasure have this beautiful piece here in Brazil!

Awesome video, great watching you two work together!
Thats a beautiful axe that you made together. Thanks for the video - always a pleasure to see how things evolve into this fine piece of craftsmanship.
That was amazing watching you two work on this axe head! Very cool!
What a wonderful craftmansship of two skilled blacksmiths! Amazing work!
You have a very nice collection of axes there.
I'm really enjoying your content so far and appreciate the workshop noise instead of overly loud music.
Gotta love some good old fabrication. I always admire the the old school forgers who shape metal into cool projects. Great work.
I really enjoy watching you two working together!😀

Great collaboration from two amazing smiths! Cheers from the great state of Texas.
Always nice to see someone who realy has fun while doing such hard labour, also this is a realy beautiful piece.
Awesome video and really shows the different forging steps. Definitely a fun watch!
Splendid tool. Finely edged.
An absolutely beautiful tool. I would love to add this to my tool box. You folks are true craftspersons.
Hello ! i get into forging recently, and, as a complete beginner with almost no tools, i can abslutely relate on the fact that a friend's help is better than anything ! you did a great job together, this axe looks amazing !
Loved the video. It’s amazing to see the talent the two of you have. I can’t wait to see the next video.
Thanks
I really like the shape if the blade and that it is so narrow. Wonderful work.

Such an amazing tool! It is beautiful. The winner will be very lucky to own it!
Greetings from Ireland. It's great to see two masters at work together.
Muy buen video, yo sigo hace años a Torbjörns y ahora fue muy bonito verlos juntos!!! Felicitaciones.... ;-)
Looks awesome!
RUclips recommended this video to me, probably because I've been following Torbjörn for years.
Pozdrav iz Hrvatske (greetings from Croatia)!
Big fan of torbjorn for a long time, newly subscribed to your channel. Awesome work!
I'm actually quite impressed! Beautiful piece through and through.
WoW!! what a Beautiful Axe. I looked this video whit my son’s and we liked it a lot. Can’t wait to see the next video
Fantastic work guys!! Had a few laughs along the way 😂 Great video and collaboration 🪓
What a great work from both of you. The axe looks great and it seems you had a lot of fun. Looking forward for your next projects. Best wishes

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I love when you guys work together, your intro was super funny.
Love watching both of your channels so much talent. The tools and axes are beautiful.
I love seeing this colab and I'm glad Torborn's channel led me here. Would really love that piece of history. Here's hoping!🤞
Super video- thanks for a great demo!
Alltid kul att kolla på dig och Torbjörn när ni jobbar.
Hoppas yxan hittar till Värmland!
Eine exzellente Arbeit, es ist super zu sehen wenn zwei Meister zusammen Arbeiten!
Hard to find such well made tools. I'm 71 and think the best tools are the ones that were hand made. Enjoyed the video.
This video make my day!!! I am 73 and today it is 113 deg. in Texas. So I am stuck inside the house.
It is inspiring and so satisfying to see Masters of their craft at work.
