#handforged #traditional #blacksmith
As a beginner blacksmith in a small garage shop, this gives me a lot of hope on eventually being able to hand forge an axe. It’s always been my goal to become an axe maker.
I'm right there with you. This man has some of the most beautiful axes I have ever seen.
*As a 40 year veteran Knife Maker/Blacksmith I thoroughly enjoyed watching as well...Good technique never goes out of style or becomes outdated or boring*

What flux do you use
Nydelig arbeid!😊
Very good video and I learned a lot
Nice work
I love these types of videos where you explain the process while doing the work. What a great looking axe it came to be!
You broke this down in a way that makes it seem really manageable for the home smith. I appreciate how your smithy is a small room and yet you get a lot of things done there!
It's real nice to see someone keeping the art alive. Excellent work, you make it look so easy! And Congratulations on your new daughter!
Thank you so much!
It is joyous to watch a craftsman with exceptional skills turn the mundane into something functional and beautiful.
It’s good for my soul to see young men like you keeping the traditions of black smithing alive. It’s truly one of the fine arts.
Thank you very much! I apriciate that!
The old skills are so valuable. A makers channel like yours should have millions of views. I wonder if you have done a kukri, or a messer. What a treat to watch your work.
Nils, thank you for sharing this wonderful craft and passing this tradition through the generations!
What a work of Art! Beautifully made and with no power tools to boot! Very nice work!
Fantastic work. Blacksmithing is one of my secret passions if only I had the shop to make axes in. Thank you for letting me live vicariously through your videos!
I have to say that your axes are some of the best that I've seen. I really enjoy seeing your handle crafting too. So perfect.
The lugs' construction was amazing. Thank you for sharing.
Enjoyable to watch from start to finish. Fantastic instruction. Nothing better than watching a master of his craft work. And with hand tools too! Subbed!
Amazing work! And thank you for reminding us how important the basics are
Please keep on doing what you do. Thank you for teaching your skills in such an easy manner!!!
You’re videos are the reasons I ever started forging.thank you for what you do
Oh wow! Thanks thats so nice to hear :)
Beautifully Done! I love your use of classic techniques and historic patterns for these axe builds!
Thank you!
Hot rasping and filing in general are surprisingly effective. Concise and informative, great work!
Totally agree, and its also quite fun!
@ Yes it is. It also feels more honest than a grinder.
Watching this video gives me the motivation to finish setting up my own forge and start hammering steel. Its simply amazing how well you illustrate the process of forging. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much!
I'm more keen to attempt knife/chisel making rather than axes, but this kind of video is always a joy to watch and a source of knowledge!
Thank you, and best wishes for the future
I love watching blacksmithing there is a real art to a technique that takes real practice over many failures but when seeing an axe or knife finished is just great amazing work amazing channel
Enjoyed the fully hand made forge/ blacksmith process.
Beautifull work - always a pleasure watching a real craftsman at work. That forest axe looks just the size I need.
Your workshop is beautiful, and the axes are dreamy.
That's a beautiful axe! And thanks for the great video! I enjoy your style and technique, and how you share your skills with the blacksmithing community. Fantastic work.
Very informative and relaxing. On top of making the axe head, you're still setting up the shots and editing it all as well. Well done!
As a farrier I really enjoy seeing others forge steel for different purposes. Nice work.
This type of tool making never gets old.
This was a very fun watch. I'm so fascinated in metal working, there's just something hypnotic about it. Gorgeous axe....BRAVO!
Thank you kindly!
First, your axes are absolutely beautiful. Amazing craftsmanship. Secondly, thank you so much for making these videos. They are so educational for amateur blacksmiths like myself. Although I only have a small forge, my goal is to one day make a Billnas style axe by myself. Your videos inspire me.
Thank you
I really like the way you explain what you are doing. You get your point across without a lot of additional verbiage that just gets in the way.
This was a fantastic and informative video. My 3 year old son watched with me and he was mesmerized. I look forward to forging something with him in the future. Thanks for the great video
Very good job Nils! Looking forward to larger axes and the expanded techniques on how to do more like this so I can try in my own forge! Thank you!
I have followed your videos for a while and greatly appreciate your methods, processes and explanations. Being of Norwegian and Dane ancestry also makes your channel fun. ❤
Thank you! I am of Norweigian decent as well :)
the best thing about it all is that you enjoy it - and I enjoy watching your videos - until I can go back to blacksmithing myself ;)
Amazing tutorial/walkthrough on your hand forge axe process. Amazing, educational and motivational!
Wonderful to watch you make this axe . You make it look so easy.
Thank you, a real pleasure to watch you work.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge so freely. Always enjoyable to watch a skilled craftsman using there talents.
That is inspiring. Never thought I would look into smithing, but it's compelling!
That is true forging. All done by hand and no machines. Power tools are nice it takes the stress from the elbows which can become damaged over time. Well done, beautiful work.
What a beautiful heritage tool, something a father could pass down to a son or grand son.
Beautiful. I love the antique look of the metal. Too many people shine the whole thing up, but I prefer this way.
That axe is tool, I can see it outlast any commercial axe. You are a true artisan sir!
Thank you for this video!! Always cool for us who doesn't have power hammer or press to see how to make these by hands
I really appreciated this video and was amazed by the depth of knowledge and the attention to detail that went into making this small axe.
Still one of my all time favorite creators to watch! Keep it up!
Clear instructions and good camera angles, good job!
I love your videos, man. I've been watching them for months on my TV and finally decided to find your channel on my phone and subscribe without hesitation. You actually inspired me to try blacksmithing, and i recently took a class with my best friend. We made paracord wrapped knives. They actually ended up looking good because we knew what to expect, having watched your videos. I must say, I've got the itch to do it again. It's quite addicting. Good job on all the projects you've done over the years. Stay awesome, bro.
Thank you!
Very interesting video. Coming from a Norwegian ( the better Vikings) fishing family on the west coast of Canada. I often wondered how the laminated Scandinavian knives etc we used were made. I will keep watching and perhaps one day make my own to carry as I paddle my beautiful 53 year old cedar canvas canoe around B.C. Thanks again
Gerry
I truly Love your Videos and their educational sub aspects.
You bring me down to earth and help me through hard times. And I have to admit: I just love axes. :D
Pls keep going and never stop doing your things you love.
Thank you!
Hey Neils thank you for being such an awesome teacher! As an intermediate/ beginner blacksmith it great to see in-depth videos. Cheers!
Thank you very much!
You have amazing combination of craftsmanship and communication skills. Cool video!
looking forward to the continuation of the series. very well explained etc.
Thank you! Looking forward to the next video as well :)
I think that axe is a masterpiece. That was Awesome Hand Forging of the axe head. You are very talented!
An excellent tutorial. Thank you! For people like me that are just starting out learning how to blacksmith, these videos are invaluable!
Fantastic work! You've inspired me to get back into blacksmithing and have a go at an axe head myself. Throwing my hat in the ring for the axe head. Cheers!
That looks awesome. I've never seen an axe made like that with a hardened edge. The gold was really beautiful before you filed it down. Great job!!!
I have watched this 3 times now and I am inspired to try make a axe again... You make it look so easy
Thank you! I do this for a living, having made 100’s of axes. The technique comes after a while :)
Really enjoying these videos Nils, thanks for sharing your process!
Great video sir! It's nice to see someone bringing the craft back down to earth by making something completely by hand. Makes it seem s little more doable by the average person
Fabulous work, really nice production of the video too, thank you Nils
Beautiful axe. Simple. Sufficient. Serviceable. 👌
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience.
Nicely proportioned Forrest axe. The video is high quality and educational. Thank You!
This is the first of your videos I stumbled upon, and I'm already a fan.
Seeing as I don't have a power hammer and mostly just use hand tools, this is a great teaching video.
A beautiful example of a forest axe. Well filmed with excellent and clear description of all the steps involved. Thanks!
Thank you!
Beautiful craftsmanship and very well explained.
Incredible forest axe! Thank you for sharing your craft.
That mix of pine-tar, turpentine and lindseed oil is brilliant. My next stop? Figuring out what other tree species in my area could achieve similar results. Thanks Nils.
And love the poster on the wall of axes!
beautiful axe, thanks for the video and showing us those techniques
I have purchased vintage axe heads and have rehafted a few. Thanks for the info, now it looks like I need to take the next step by making my own axe head from scratch.
Very well done and easy to follow/understand. I am a new smith with limited equipment and what you demonstrated, using just a few hand tools, is very encouraging to me. Thank you and please keep them coming.
Your videos are always cathartic. The silent ones and vocal direction ones also.
I don't really know what that means, but thanks for watching!
It means relaxing and brings happiness
You have a great teaching style, and obvious depth of knowledge in your trade. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you!
Beautifully forged. Excellent
Beautiful work. I've enjoyed your work for years now.
Thank you Jeff!
This was an amazing video. I consider myself a beginner smith but I feel like I could do 75% of this project. The other 25% you presented in a way that I feel like I could do myself with enough practice.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Awesome video. Can’t tell you much I enjoyed your process. That Forrest ax is unbelievably sharp. Thanks
Several last video most intresting. Thank you for hardwork.
Alltid kul att se dina videos, de olika teknikerna du använder och de olika yxmodellerna!
Very nice Video, the separate steps were very good explained and I learnd a lot! Thank you
Simple and beautiful. Well done.
I really like the simplicity in the making proccess. Good work and keep on going. Cheers
Thank you!
Thanks for the great video! Always enjoy watching you work. 👍
Very nice and informative instructions,you’re a most proficient and patient man. You’re exquisite work will last many generations and you will be exalted around the hearth until the flagon’s are emptied and the night is justly remembered.
Thanks!
That looks like a great axe. Awesome to watch you make it
Nice to see your proces! Keep 'em comming!
What a beautiful piece of kit
Another fantastic video, I always look forward to seeing what you’ll make next!
Very nice axe. I enjoyed the video and your commentary. The background music was a nice touch. And congratulations on the birth of your daughter!
Thank you so much!
Beautiful work.
A very beautiful axe as always Nils, your work is always excellent and you videos informative and educational.
Thank you!
Thankyou so much, I recently got into making axes and hammers, and all of this info really helped me perfect my eye making.
Beautiful work!
Greetings from Ireland, great tutorial video. You Sir are a MasterCraftsman ! 👍
Thank you for making such amazing videos! Love watching you work.
It’s very usefull to us, the ones who are starting this art, the ones who dosn’t have power hammer or any kind of tools like that. In my case it’s very motivating because I only have a forge, an anvil and some hammers and tongs. Thank you for the video!
Thank you!
Hey, thanks. That's good clear instructions, and a beautiful crafted piece too.
