Build this Axe with The Makers Mob: go.themakersmo...
Watch as I build a hand forged bearded belt axe using only hand tools. This Bearded Axe is a functional tool that will last for generations.
From hand forging, heat treating and sharpening the axe head to shaping and fitting the wooden handle, turning a piece of steel and single piece of wood into a razor sharp axe perfect for camping is such a satisfying accomplishment - Enjoy!

This is one of the few production blacksmithing channels I am subbed to that is more blacksmithing than machine shop. I wish you guys would post more. Your videos and personalities are fantastic. Edit: I am excited to see you joining the Makers Mob, but so many of the channels I really loved to follow also joined, and stopped producing videos.

Absolutely beautiful axes! Thanks for sharing even these shots from your class.

Incredible job!!! Just bought one of your 32 inch handles!

@robroy5729 4 года назад

that was the scariest flatter i have ever seen!!

@sidstone8845 4 года назад

Nice control with the drawknife, you didn’t keep going, knowing that the cut would follow deep into the grain

I love the bearded axe look it's on the to get list for axe/tool/functional art

@levirugheimer3131 4 года назад

Its kind of hard to tell exactly what shape your center punch is but you should try grinding the point of your center punch to a square or triangle. The advantage is that when you're metal is hot you can see your punch mark better! Pro tip

Always an honor watching a true craftsman. Beautiful work.

@rusty7720 4 года назад

Amazing craftmanship,for as long as man can live on this earth no machine or robot will ever be able to produce such a masterpiece.

@cosmicbilly 4 года назад

I love watching Liam! But a part of me dies, knowing i will never be able to afford a Hoffman axe.. one of his camp axes was on ebay and it's already over $600 and the bid doesn't end for another day or so. It would be a dream come true to swing and work with a Hoffman axe. They are works of art. Every one of them.

@eddydewilde4958 4 года назад

History at work, wonderful to see how it was done long ago and how the tradition continues. Well done Young Master!

@urbanlumberjack 2 года назад

Simply amazing work. Hoping to own one someday. Truly no steps skipped, even soaking the heads. Some people say it’s unnecessary, but if it’s not done then the most important wood to be stabilized (in the eye) is left untreated! So impressive to see the attention to detail here

@alexmmendez7663 7 месяцев назад

You are truly an inspiration, U live your work and when I saw a video of you I was really impressed but now with that cross axe I’m truly shocked, nice job

@carljansevanrensburg2440 4 года назад

Love the new format of your videos. I'm amazed with the ease at which you make the handles. Beautiful pairr of axes.

@Zogg1281 4 года назад

Awesome axes and so nice to see how axes would have been made with a Blacksmith and apprentice. Have either of you thought about entering a local strong man competition? Your arms are like tree trunks!!!!! LOL

@davidbaldree1043 4 года назад

The axes are great. Definitely show a lot of detail in your work. And feel free to send me that anvil anytime. Be happy to take it off your hands for you. Lol

@jerryjohnsonii4181 4 года назад

Awesome Axe !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@deckiedeckie 4 года назад

The axes themselves remind me of my father's "hacho" (oversize ax w/a short handle used by miners inside the mines to cut the woods w/which the lay the tunnels (passages inside the mine) a heavy oversized ax...has to be heavy for inside the mine they lack the space to swing it so it has to weight more than a normal ax....my father was a coal/iron miner in NW 'ern Spain many moons ago ....dead.

@baikalwood2908 4 года назад

@tattoosteveneo 4 года назад

Nice axe/hatchet. To bad the grain of the wood is not as good. It will work but it’s not at the peak. It is nice to see NC back in the saddle again

Dude has massive forearms

@petermarsh4993 3 года назад

Dear Liam, thanks for presenting your method of axe making. It looks controlled and precise, something that I am yet to learn. The end result looks superb. The chunks of steel you started with look like my source of toughened steel - fork lift tines which is 4140. Is that what yours are? Cheers.

@featheredcoyote5477 4 года назад

Popeye forearms!!! True craftsmanship my friend

@JohnSmith-gs4lw 4 года назад

Meh. A few more months working around that sissy power hammer will make quick work of those arms. ;-)

@olivierseurin1204 4 года назад

Hammering indeed builds the forearms in proportion as well, perhaps even to the point where they're thicker than the upper arm

@JUNKO____ 4 года назад

I'd imagine that most of the work being done on his arms is from using tongs. When the stakes are "don't drop the hot thing and ruin it", you hold on.

@JustinTopp 4 года назад

TechStack Reviews keeps them arms nice and even. Holding the stock and swinging the hammer.

@toml802 4 года назад

Always start closest to you and work your way back with a draw knife. Many years of bow building experience.

@sethbracken 4 года назад

@josh.temple 4 года назад

Not a smith or anything, so sorry if this is a dumb question... But when you put the sacrificial plate over your anvil to protect it, you have to keep adjusting it. Why not make a piece with the edges bent around the side of the anvil so it doesn’t move around, but is easily removed/placed?

@jarlove 4 года назад

I only watch to see Liams swole arms!

I get a thrill when I can punch through 1/4” steel; I can’t imagine what it would feel like to punch such a clean slug through that block of steel!!

@Smokey66s 4 года назад

Liam, take my deposit and put me on waiting list, no longer than 4 years, I am 72 and Wikipedia indicates average life span of a male in USA is 76. I just want it as an heirloom, I believe your axes will be the holy grail of the future, “Hey, I just got a Black Raven”. So, check out this Hoffman Farm Axe!!

@ShadyCool 2 года назад

I really enjoy seeing the blacksmithing craftsmanship brought to these axes. Any chance you might produce some tomahawks in the future? If so, I have no doubt that they would move fast, given your axe design. Put me on that waiting list if you ever decide to go there.

@DMBVR4 4 года назад

Have you considered offering your own draw knives??

@mitosiskain 4 года назад

Was that a water quench? Was it tempered? How do you heat treat 4140?

@phaledax3661 4 года назад

Quick question, why don't you use a Power hammer? instead of a second person. You could hook up a short activation cycle with a raspberry pie computer connected to a mic and make it voice activate to hammer at an indicated sound (s).
