How to Make a Small Forge Welded Tomahawk Out of A Farrier's Rasp

Today we'll be forging a small throwing tomahawk out of half of a farrier's rasp. After the last tomahawk build, I got a lot of suggestions for a throwing hawk with a socket. This is a little mouse hawk, great for small chopping tasks and throwing.
This is the fourth tomahawk I've forged welded and I'm still learning. It's been a lot of fun and I'm hoping to do more videos with forge welding and lamination.
Thanks for watching and enjoy!

DUDE! I remember watching your pvc bow videos way back in the day. Now you’re up to forging axe heads. Amazin

@vincentgoulet525 8 лет назад

Nick i just started forging stuff and when i saw your videos that realy helped me with my project. keep it up 👍🏻

@TuckerSP2011 8 лет назад

I love that tomahawk! It is so interesting with the remaining rasp pattern on it, and the whole design was clean and simple.

@ColdFuse96 7 лет назад

This is so cool. I especially love that scaly texture on the back of the axe head. Like if it was some kind of Dragon Scale Axe. Absolutely beautiful.

@urbanitesgarage3299 8 лет назад

Wow, not gonna lie, but that was the best thing ive ever seen! Ive always wondered how you could take a billet of steel and make the hole in it for the handle! Thanks

@nicholasgarland6653 Год назад

I’m way late to the video but out of every video I’ve watched you do it the most practical way possible and is awesome!! Great work!

@hobbitreet 7 лет назад

You are an inspiration. To find a love like forging while still having so much life ahead of you is a blessing. You clearly know your mind and have a generous heart for sharing. Thank you for the work you do

@DanteYewToob 7 лет назад

You make this all seem so doable, accessible, and like we can do it. You take away any excuses! "Waaah No tools!" Bam, a video with one or no tools lol etc. I love it! Keep it up..s. you should do a viewer creations episode so people can show you and each other what we've made from your tutelage and inspiration!

@TacticalPatriot-hd7hl 8 лет назад

You are the best blacksmith on RU-vid by far

@5themachine 8 лет назад

dude not only are your videos so interesting but your voice is also so soothing

@Jombo56 8 лет назад

I like that the texture from the original tool stays on the axe head, very nice aesthetic, looks sturdy as well!

@coreysheets4862 8 лет назад

You sir are a true Master of your craft.Keep inspiring all of us backyard guys and girls. Keep up the great work and vids.

@carabidus 8 лет назад

I can see how this can be *really* addicting from a creative standpoint. Your work is beautiful, functional and incorporates found materials. How about a video about how someone can get started in blacksmithing? Maybe a detailed discussion of your forge, work area and tools?

@rcoray 8 лет назад

That's a great looking piece. The scale effect from the rasp teeth is neat

@oldtimer4567 7 лет назад

Like your work. I also like that your forging very nice knives, etc. using a chunk of mild steel as an anvil while everyone else on RU-vid, that's forging knives, etc. swears that you must have a cast steel or forged steel anvil, or at a minimum, a piece of train rail. My anvil consist of a 140 lbs. base with a 50 lbs. chunk of cast iron fastened on top & it works very well. Keep up the good work!

@Docprepper 6 лет назад

Holy crap this is the easiest approach to making a camp ax ive ever seen! Thank you! This is absolutely ingenious man!

@IlBaroneRozzo 8 лет назад

Awesome! How about a medieval war hammer?

@Jonesm4n117 8 лет назад

That would be cool to see! I agree!!

@pinetreescallahan6400 8 лет назад

like of the skyrim war hammers would be cool

@joke123joke7 8 лет назад

yeah that's a good idea

@plank1867 8 лет назад

War hammer would be awesome!

@IlBaroneRozzo 8 лет назад

Aubrey Owens Yeah, I hope he will make a "bec de corbin" style war hammer or maybe a czekan

@canusakommando9692 8 лет назад

Again young man I really like how you repurpose and add value. You have a skill set. Thanks for a very good video.

@LeKushKush 8 лет назад

This guy has talent, RU-vid should be filled with more people like this guy instead we have pre-teens auto-tuning crappy songs

@azerikamil1910 6 лет назад

You are an engineer. Very nice. Not only the design but also the perfect stability.

@desktorp 7 лет назад

Wow. Your channel has grown so much. Awesome throws. A+ 100% Keep up the great work, Nick.

@MrChillySmilez 8 лет назад

So beautiful yet simple tomahawk. I have wanted to do my own for months and this gave me some nice ideas. Thanks for the great vid

@Al-Fiallos 8 лет назад

I like that you left the rasp pattern, it looks like a snakeskin from here.

@gravitykillz924 8 лет назад

Great to have you making video again!

@dieselstruck 8 лет назад

I gotta admit, I'm somewhat envious of these skills. Good job man. It would be awesome to make my own axe and bring it to the woods.

@calebanderson9496 6 лет назад

great job.I don't really know what tomahawks are supposed to look like but yours splits wood easily and can be thrown so id have to say it seems like it's accurate enough.I hope to see more of your videos,you have some good skill working with metal.

@rilledulu 8 лет назад

I really love your videos. You have got the "eye" for how to form and make things...

@Wolfesjunges 8 лет назад

a small patterned crossbow with a forged steel bow would be awesome. You'd need something like springsteel to do it right though. and some acid engraving on the back of the bow if you're confident.

@steinderbush 8 лет назад

You are a great handcraftsman Nick the axe looks awesome!!

@Nick-vx6hl 7 лет назад

Man there are those of us that watch and those who do. You are a do"er.... Great stuff

@jscott09js 8 лет назад

Dude I thought you were never going to make another video.... Thanks for the quality workmanship

@meridianfrost2890 6 лет назад

I’m going to try this tonight. I have a bunch of farrier rasps laying around. I’ve never forge welded anything before!

@oggzm4982 8 лет назад

Pole style war hammer! Hammer one side, spike the other on a 5-6ft pole with another spike on the end. No real modern day use but would be me end of days weapon of choice :) Rumored to be weapon of choice for plate armoured foot soldiers of old, used more as leverage to topple other armoured soldiers, then used to finish them off once they are down. love the channel, keep it up mate

@albinoblacksheep7826 Год назад

Stil one of the best tomohawks on yt.

@macewen1 8 лет назад

@Eralen00 8 лет назад

Awesome job, Nick! I like how you left some of the texture of the rasp. One of my favorite YT channels by far

@dsoekarnsingh 8 лет назад

@teutonieth 7 лет назад

There are times i wish i lived further away from the city so that i could have a forge and use it without anyone complaining.

@shaikhmaterials1785 6 лет назад

Nice and clean work for throw tomahawk bro! Love it

@thegamingsmithy1295 8 лет назад

This is really cool I love blacksmithing I think it's my favorite hobby, I'm not the best, but it's really fun to make knives

@saxon215 8 лет назад

Again I'm impressed by your work. I would like to see a video on you making forge tools. I would also like to see a PVC takedown bow with a forged body

@RFAM05 8 лет назад

Fantastic craftsmanship!

@ManyskunksKimCurtis 2 года назад

Nick, very nice work! Hwever, I'd like to see updates on how well that forge weld holds up! I think if youuse it hard that the wled will let go and break apart! You did a VERY good job on the weld but, I do wish, for hard work's sake that you had welded it higher into the eye! Itwouldn't have taken much mote work to do it and you alreadyhave the mandrel and the know how! PLEASE, post an update in a yearor so as to how it holds up and as to how hard you used it! I'm an old Mountain Man reenactor and a Blacksmith that has become disabled with a rare disease that eats the cartilage from ALL my joints so, I can no longer do much forging! I hopeyou continue in the Blacksmithing of tools you need! Remember, Need a tool, Make it! Thanks for the video! I'm going to attempt this myself to see how close to the eye I can get the weld and how it works with hard use! Nice throwing, BTW!

@axegrinder3746 6 лет назад

I really like how the grit of the Rasp gives it a dragon scale effect

@drunkwoodswyllia4885 Год назад

Wow!! That’s really impressive sir!!

@ollienet8655 2 года назад

Nice, Easier than I thought... time to fire up the forge and get to it :)

@adrikkrakhim1 8 лет назад

A bearded viking axe(long or short) would be cool to see. Great vids man!

@chrisshaw7479 8 лет назад

Love your videos Nick, because of you I'll be starting to make me own knives, bows etc. Would live to see a video of you make a knife with knuckle duster handle.

@912Benny 8 лет назад

with that differential heat treat on the blade, it would be cool if you could acid etch it to bring out a pattern. Cool video as always.

@BackyardBowyer 8 лет назад

I'll have to try that out! Thanks for watching!

Hey Nick. I remember the video showing us your anvil. It looks like it's been getting its fair share of use. This turned out great. I'm feeling inspired. Keep it up Bro.

@nateknudson8500 8 лет назад

Would it be possible for you to do a video runthrough of the tools you have in your blacksmithing toolset? It would be nice to know what are the basics to start doing this kind of work.

@ruckuswethepeep4384 Год назад

Great job,Love the Finnish product 👏

@KowboyUSA 8 лет назад

Sweet little tomahawk. With a few farrier's files and a little time, a thrower could stick a few in his belt and be ready to send a rain of razor sharp steel on target. *That reptilian pattern on the finished 'hawk looks great.

@los5masbuscados.78 3 года назад

You are a Master. all my respect. thanks for sharing

@paulorodrigues1460 8 лет назад

very good ,your videos are very instructive

@scarecrow6524 6 лет назад

This is pretty much the video I was looking for. Now I know I don't need a big fancy anvil to make something cool I have a reason to clean out the garage.
