In this episode of the scrap metal replica, I show how to forge replica of the archaeological find of the Viking Age battle axe. To forge it I used wrought iron and old 19-century steel.
Hello Maciej! Very well done! As usual, it is a joy to watch you make your things! Really amazing - your skill! I just enjoy your forge-welding process! 🙂 Thank you for that video and all the best! Jasmine
I have seen some axe makers open up a v shape in the softer steel, and then weld a harder steel into the center. I guess, depending on the use, welding the piece from one side is just as good. Interesting.
8:20 how did you get it stuck together here? Put it in the fire carefully and let the heat stick them together? Or heated 2 pieces separately and hammered em together?
Very nice work officina ferraria i want to start forging axes and was wondering if you could help me with some more advice. I wanted to know if you could tell me what is the width/thickness and length of your different drifts/mandrels thank you and godbless.
