This is my take on forging a light weight, English "Colonial period" hewing axe using bowtie construction. Mild steel body, cutting edge is 1075.

You know what? The way you made this bowtie and folded it over to fit so perfectly is the coolest way to forge an axe that I've ever seen. 😀Love your work.

@rigoniironworks 5 лет назад

Thanks! Credit for the technique comes from Peter Ross who was kind enough to give me the starting dimensions. All the best

That's the way to do it. Never saw a couple of your shaping tools before. I'll be making some and using them next time I forge an axe. Thanks.

Oliver66FarmBoy what happened to all your videos?????

@jacobschmidt3178 7 лет назад

He made them all private because people did not respect his privacy and started to actually start rumors about him to people he does business with.

This is my 1st time seeing that kind of forging. I'm used to seeing Blacksmiths making a hole when they're making an axe. This one looks really nice.

@renegadescout 8 лет назад

Well done sir...I forge a few similar axes by hand so I have a great appreciation for how this turned out..

@torbjornahman 8 лет назад

Very nice! Was that the actual weld you showed? It didn't look like it was even near a welding heat :) What did you use for edge steel?

@rigoniironworks 8 лет назад

+Torbjörn Åhman Thanks, my anvil is near my shop doors, so the lighting is a little off. It was at welding and was on it's third forge welding pass. I don't like to take it to sparking, just hot yellow with it smoking from the borax. 1075 for the edge, mild steel for the body.

@torbjornahman 8 лет назад

John Rigoni Great! Will try this technique some day. Looks like fun!

@yoda4231 3 года назад

Hej Torbjörn!

@mattyal9347 3 года назад

There is a whole lot of talent that went into creating that axe... but its just another axe that will forever leave the question, "was it made by man or machine?" Go Damascus!

@energizerwolf5574 7 лет назад

In my opinion, this is the optimal light axe head. Not a hammer, fairly light compare to the cuttingedge and size in general. the handle is very stable in the head.
