This videos shows the process of a viking battle axe being made by hand, the body of the axe is made out of mild steel and the bit is made out of an old file. Originally this axe was supposed to be a great dane axe but after not having enough material i decided a frankish/norman design.

How did you make the forge welds stick? I have been trying my darndest to make an axe with a method similar to this, yet no matter what the forgewelds always seem to fail even when I get the steel far hotter than is shown here. Am I missing something?

@AxlPBlacksmith Месяц назад

Make sure the surfaces of where the weld is gonna be are clean, prevent having any scale on those. Don't forget to use a flux, most people use borax, you can also use sand but that has a lower melting point.

@@AxlPBlacksmith I see. What kind of cleaning should I give that surface and should I apply the borax immediately after it?

@AxlPBlacksmith Месяц назад

@@leetheeagle7264 Just grind it smooth and make sure that most of the scale is off, the grit doesnt really matter. Apply borax when the steel is at a red-orange color, wear a mask tho since its nasty stuff( ive gotten really sick from it). When the steel is at like an orange - yellow color, hit the metal a few times to set the weld, then do the actual forgeweld.

@@AxlPBlacksmith I think I get it, thank you. By the way, this should work in a gas forge too right?

Для боевого топора слишком широкое лезвие. Вряд ли сможет нанести достаточно урона противнику в бою, особенно если на нём будет броня или кольчуга. Да и вообще он массивный, в длительных походах и в бою вес будет ощутим. Больше похоже на топор из фентези или аниме, где оружие каких-то невероятных размеров и непонятно как владельцы с ним управляются.

Perché chiudere il foro per il manico , per poi faticare per riaprirlo e allargarlo. Non è così che si lavora. Personalmente quando ripiego lascia per creare il foro lo faccio su un manico di legno bagnato, fuma un po' ma l'occhiello per il manico viene perfetto e senza fatica.

The hole wasn't closed, i made it too small at the start.
