Absolutely beautiful video from the production value to the narrative. Thank you for telling the story behind The Forge and the products you create.

@cascadiaaxe 3 года назад

I make axes everyday. After watching this after work I’m inspired to get my work clothes back on and drive back down to the forge and make more axes...... So inspiring, thank you for reminding me why I love what I do!

Do you sell online?

@Kurogane_666 Год назад

I have to ask what size stock would you use to makes a 2lb Hudson Bay axe head? Or a small forest axe? I'm also interested in a bi-metal acts made by Russian fellow on RU-vid, Advoko makes is his channel

@stephenwilliams1364 Год назад

Do you make the blank of steel or do you buy it that way?

Bra jobbat pöjkar! Men kaffe istället för thevatten på slutet så hade det blivit perfekt.. 🔅

Kokkaffe! Bäst att vara tydlig, så de inte får för sig att använda snabbkaffe eller dylika hemskheter 😉

I'm starting to think that Joe is who Bear Grylls wish he was.

Ha!!!

What a great video. I've been in the forge and went through the whole process of making an axe. Alex makes it looks so much easier than it was for me. That's how one recognizees great craftsmanship. Also I wish Joe had a RU-vid channel with videos about all the bushcraft techniques he knows.

@alexpoleblacksmith 4 года назад

Thanks my friend, I'll let Joe know!!

Glad that I found your channel - great work and narration! (New subscriber)

I was just looking for instructions to forge an axe without a striker or powertools and stumbled upon this gem of a video! Absolutely lovely, almost meditative, i rly enjoyed it.

Love to see a true handforging, and young people sticking to traditions while living in the modern world. It is a real honor to see something like that on youtube. Subscribed.

Another beautiful video that makes me want to light a fire again! Beautiful work - the axe making - the handle setting and fire making... as well as the videography and direction of this. Absolutely fantastic.

@alanscannell 4 года назад

Brilliant video I really enjoyed watching and hearing how you began to make axes. You guys make it look easy!

Great film. Beautiful hatchet. Which is bigger, hammer or tong arm? : ) Mahalo for sharing?

@Krustation101 3 года назад

How did you punch the initial hole? Thats probably the most difficult process. What are you hiding ?

@alexpoleblacksmith 2 года назад

Not hiding anything, we show the process in our "100 axes" video here : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qatTcBiJURU.html We punched all of them with a Norton No2 Flypress, although you can of course punch them by hand using a top tool punch.

@jennifercaya6476 4 года назад

As someone who comes from the Hudson Bay Area of Canada you’ve done a very good job on that axe. Well done.

@alexpoleblacksmith 4 года назад

High Praise indeed! Thankyou kindly!

@KarolineHinz 4 года назад

@randyrodriguez4643 4 года назад

It's wonderful how watching fire and beating on steel can be so very meditative. Beautiful work.

@alexpoleblacksmith 4 года назад

Thank you very much!

@mrrberger Год назад

Like what I see but the volume is so low.

@cameronlamb7274 2 года назад

Great video but I think you have 2 axes slightly confused while Hudson’s bay did trade axes of different types these would have likely come with handles. The trade pattern axes aka tomahawks wouldn’t have these have the drop threw eye and are much easier to make a handle in the brush with by finding a sapling.

@muratbasarir6046 2 года назад

You are real masterchef.I have a question for you brother.what kind of metal do you use for axe made usually ? Greetings from Turkey.

@InsideAlan 4 года назад

Joe may be a magnificent specimen of a human being but he's an absolute heathen when it comes to woodworking 😘 What more could we expect from blacksmiths 😆

@zekefreshman300 Год назад

There's something about watching another person focusing on a creative task that is very calming

@markpereira1975 3 года назад

Is there a place in or near haverhill, ma where I could go to and learn how to forge weld axes and toold and stuff? I would love to learn and be able to make something functional and beautiful

Great story telling. I appreciate how, in a longer video, the subtitles helped with a sense of pacing and progression through the process. Nice mini documentary.

Much appreciated!

Relaxing and educational! As a Swede I can't help get a warm, fuzzy feeling inside. Or maybe that was just the tea I drank... I have to say, I don't think I've seen a man so attractive as when Joe lit that fire!

@alexpoleblacksmith 4 года назад

Haha!!! Thanks! I'll make sure I let Joe know!! :D
