In this video I forge a prototype sloyd axe.
This was a very fun challenge. The idea is that I am going to send it to @The Spoon Crank for them to check it out and hopefully we will start making them available later this year :)

Thank you, sir. I enjoy watching others forge, and I learn from them. Keep the fire and hammer going, fellow Tubal Cain.

What a wonderful piece of tool Nils! Well done, amazing work as always. Thank you for documenting and sharing the process as well. Looking forward to giving it a swing.

What a great little axe, thoroughly enjoyed watching you make it, top job 👍. Your skills as a blacksmith and axe maker have certainly improved to a very high level over the last couple of years. Regards from Down Under.

Sløyd øks! Here, sløyd is woodwork/carpentry. Axe looks seriously sharp!!

Thats what it usually is in Sweden too. But as I mentioned in the video, originally it could mean more things

@Fire_And_Iron 2 года назад

Sweet axe !

@joestuttgen5058 2 года назад

Very impressive grind! Being able to "push" through the paper is not an easy task! Especially with a thicker bevel like on an axe!

Hi there, my husband and I have been watching your videos and we just live them. My husband would love to have a Sloyd axe as soon as he seen yours. Do you sell your product? Kim🍁🇨🇦

Год назад

Yes I do. You can find all info on my website www.nilsogren.com The solid axes will be available later this year

@johnjude2685 Год назад

Hopefully I'll build one but don't have expect to equal Would be helpful to know weight and measurements to begin with. Love your work and I'm now a carver and would be a excellent tool. 👌 Thanks 👍

@martinjones8825 Год назад

Great looking little axe. What steel did you use since i didnt see a high carbon bit inserted?

@williefick 2 года назад

I make spoons, bowls and kuksas. I can tell now they are going to say go ahead...make a lot. I am throwing my name already in there. I would like the chissel axe with the bevel on the right. Well done

2 года назад

Thank you very much!

@kurtbogle2973 Год назад

OK I'm inspired. After I try making a kris, I'm going to make a Halterbrad. Spring steel should work. I haven't finished my power hammer. So I think I'm going to drill a hole for the handle and then I'm going to drive a drift into that. Piercing a thick piece of metal By hand is too much work. Forging is fun.

@KageStelhman 2 года назад

You know... I used to have an Axe really similar to that one that I used for bow making (I generally used it for shaping the profile of the bow)

@LFHiden 2 года назад

Well, that type of ax is typically used to shape spoons so it would surprise me if it works great for bows too

@sitt2000 Год назад

GREATTTT

@oneshotme 2 года назад

Great looking axe and an excellent job making it!! It would be great to see you're selling these. It would be the one I'd buy since the only wood I cut would be for my smoker Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up

@MrFlamingJester Год назад

As someone who lacks the powertools but has all the hand tools, apprenticing to my great grandfather and such, what would you recommend in place of the rounded power hammer bit used to draw out the metal?

Год назад

A cross peen hammer!

@MrFlamingJester Год назад

@ thank you very much! I have been working for a while now restoring old tools my great grandfather made, namely Tomahawks and skinning knives mostly. But now I’m interested in trying to make my own pieces from scratch as well!

How do you make the “dark” linseed oil??

2 года назад

I will make a video about that in the future :)

@jonathanbradshaw2754 2 года назад

@ I very much would like to see that video. I am trying to get a linseed oil finish on an axe and can’t get more than a bronze color. Maybe I’m not getting it hot enough to darken the oil? But I’m concerned about over tempering the edge.

@BrianRust89 2 года назад

Excited to see it!!

@braxtonpollock7201 Год назад

Do you know when your store will be restocked I just found your channel and I went to go look at your store but everything was sold out

Yes ;) I sell axes usually at the end of every moth. You can sign up for the email list to get notified when axes are available. The email list is on my website

@alvydas6157 Год назад

Hello, i just bought some Swedish (known name) axe and i see very small "crack" on the bottom of the eye. I find out from other people comments that, this is normal.. Can you, as a professional blacksmith comment on that, is it normal, you see a lot of those on your axes? Thank you.

Год назад

what do you mean by crack? you mean like a cold shut, or that the steel is broken?
