In this video I try forging a Mortise Axe.
These axes were made to enable the user to reach deep in to notches, where you would usually use a chisel to do the work. Primarily for building log houses. Very interesting axe, hence why I tried to make one :)
Hope you enjoy!

This will also be awesome for cutting dead and dry hardwood

@savage: what do you mean by cutting? Chopping? This is not a chopping axe as its blade it thin. Most probably the thin edge and high hardness make it probe to chipping. It especially applies to dry and hard wood as it is unforgiving to the edge.

Nice work, nice working place and a beautiful axe but is it possible in one of your next video's to show us how you use the things that you make....your video's will be a bit longer and then you show us how that you work with your own materials. My respect and greetings from Belgium, Oli

Very beautiful design. Hopefully you or the future owners get great use out of it for many years to come. Can't wait to see more videos soon. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Forge on. Keep making. God bless.

@Nils, I enjoy your builds more than any other smith currently producing content on RU-vid! Your mastery of forging so many differing varieties of one of man's oldest tools is impressive! I was rather disappointed though, I'd hoped you'd take this new one and make some test cuts, having never seen a "mortise axe." Anyhow, thanks for the build & I'll look forward to what's next!

Love your craftsmanship always. Your volume of shop noise, Well I have my own noise in my shop and garden. I'm afraid to turn down volume for fear of you saying instructions. But understand I'm going to watch your teaching anyway Sir Thanks

Very interesting design, hasn't seen one of these yet. Thank you for sharing. I haven't seen dark linseed oil before, so you buy it that way or is there something you do to it to make it dark?

2 года назад

I mix regular linseed oil with a pigment, ask a color stor to help you if you are interested

I'm surprised that in your neck of the woods you don't use pine tar for wood and iron. As much as everyone talks about linseed oil for wood, I've never much cared for it. Pine Tar has a better look and feel, imo, and is a tradition going back eons. More importantly, it has natural anti-microbial jive going on in it and does great at preserving the wood from boring bugs.
