Blacksmith Dave Budd shows the process of hand-forging a Bearded Axe and then crafting the handle harvested from his woodland. Filmed on location in his workshop on the Northern edge of Dartmoor. Part 1 shows the forging of the axe head and the work that goes into that whilst part two covers the heat-treatment and handle making process as well as finishing the item.

What a fantastic video, I was fortunate to meet Dave last year at the Wilderness Gathering so was great to see him at work. Looking forward to part two ~Peace~

awesome shot at 8:22 with the hammer on the anvil with the forge in the background.

@n00bman100 8 лет назад

For a novice blacksmith (me) this is very interesting, I've always wanted to make a axe this way (by forge welding a peice of steel into the iron) but I've never done forgewelding before, I know that you need (or should atleast use) Borax. I've made a axe before though, I made it out of a old hammer, so I basicaly only needed to flatten the hammer side, saw of the backside, shape it the way I wanted it, grind it to the exact shape + a bevel, then heattreat it. :)

@OrionsAnvil 9 лет назад

Nice video and a great ax. The man has a nice shop, those kind of flypresses / screwpress are amazing workhorses. I wish I had one.

I can not get over the number of people I see doing blacksmithing without any ear protection.

@palmer3977 9 лет назад

superb before long there will be no one capable of doing this in the country, unless we rethink the apprentice scheme & not just this other trades too.

@koch4070 9 лет назад

@bryanrobinson1980 8 лет назад

Really like your "power hammer". Did you design it, or was it a commercially obtained one? Nice, low-tech but powered option for moving metal.

@ronaldlarimer 9 лет назад

Great video wish there was explanation about what you were doing and why.

@bananaman8841 8 лет назад

Amazing just amazing

@TardyTardigrade 5 лет назад

Amazing work! Is that round bar welded on just for better control versus using tongs?

@christopherrowley7506 8 лет назад

why did you weld that piece in there? Is it higher carbon content or something so the edge is harder?

@deathsecutioner3114 9 лет назад

I wish i had the property for a shop like that.

@vidtravl 8 лет назад

What a wonderful video. Without the music it would have been perfect. The great forging sounds would have been plenty.

@xmaswitguns 9 лет назад

What is the purpose of the criss-cross pattern chiseled into your high-carbon steel insert?

@Fogyt121 9 лет назад

xmaswitguns Larger surface=stronger weld.

@jordanmahara7513 9 лет назад

xmaswitguns Its to keep it from sliding out when he welds it, the little barbs hook into the mild steel and stop it from slipping.

@appakinggg 8 лет назад

Beautiful piece, may i ask what steels were used?

@justinsides7979 8 лет назад

How could I obtain the material needed for the head of the axe? I want to try and make one for myself but I am not sure how much material is needed for the head or how to get it.

@calebjust1292 8 лет назад

Decent materials could be hard to find, it really depends on your location. Also, try practicing this method/ technique before actually attempting it. Im not trying to insult your experience in this, but making a crappy first weapon and using the best materials for said crappy weapon could be very disheartening and, in some cases, you will stop perfecting this skill. Best of Luck!

@ethanshipley1120 8 лет назад

What could be done in place of using a flypress to make the hole for the handle?

@jackolsen5250 7 лет назад

ethan shipley sorry for being so late, but I saw no one responded, and most times a good drift, and optionally a drill, and a good hammer, you can probably guess what to do, simply drill some holes, and use the hammer to shove the drift in

@Somersetman100 9 лет назад

@Josh-hh2cu 9 лет назад

What is the powder you were pouring on it as it was red?

@matthewsolis247 9 лет назад

It's referred to as flux for forge welding the 2 steels together. Borax is commonly used as the flux n junk! ;)

@alexandrecosta8024 8 лет назад

BELISSIMO WORK

@robsonez 7 лет назад

Hand forged but out of nowhere a precut and profiled bit appears to accept the blade. I was really hoping for an axe handforged start to finish.

@mikeallenma78 7 лет назад

Not trying to knock on your work. It looks great. But, is there anyone who does Viking-style weapons from scratch, without power tools, and includes the Viking-style etching, or whatever it's called, that they decorated their weapons with?

+JR Wood & Metal if he is so obvious what type of metal is he using. or temps

@joparsons20 7 лет назад

my assumption would be a mild steel for the bulk of the axe while the insert would be something close to 1084 as for temps exactly does he even know, I mean he is just going by color range

@chanmoua 9 лет назад

what's that powder he put on the axe head

@shamiltonsniper 9 лет назад

flux :)

@davidgaylord2035 8 лет назад

+Shane Hamilton in class we used borox

@MarldainLunas 8 лет назад

+chan moua he used borax (aka flux) to weld the small bit of steel in between the spine. I bet he also used charcoal dust on the inside to make the hole.

@Logiwonk 9 лет назад

Why do so much shaping on the grinding wheel? Why not hot cut the head to shape with a hot chisel? Might save you some time.

@TietLung 3 года назад

Love the forging...but the music sucks lol. Hammering steel was the only music needed
