Brother you cracked me up when you made fun about talking to yourself while forging. 😂😂😂

@PhilBaumhardt Год назад

Freakin sick bro. I love how you can just go out to a creek in the woods for your cutting tests.

@asf130thecompany7 Год назад

Now that's a tomahawk ^^ Finally somebody knows it :D

@TyrellKnifeworks Год назад

I was surprised you hot cut the hole instead of punching it, but then again we don't all have arms like you, John. 🤣 Thanks for participating! Congrats on the sponsorship, that's awesome!

@OldHickoryForge Год назад

Yeah I would have had to make a special slot punch for such a wide hole and I figured by the time I was done with that I could have just cut it haha. Thanks for including me man!

@robinschlyter309 Год назад

I really like that you talk about the mistakes you make. It makes for a more informative video that teaches what to avoid. The axe turned out real nice!

@mannsdan Год назад

"I'm a millennial and my feelings are more important than reality" - that made me lol! This is the best chopper video I've seen thus far! I've got a couple more to watch but I love the axe and I think my vote goes your way John!

@redlionforge9173 Год назад

It always cracks me up how modest you are about your work. You make awesome stuff dude.

@BUZZKILL59able Год назад

I’d have been talking to myself too but I’d have been saying “don’t screw it up,don’t screw it up,don’t screw it up!” 😁

@merkyworks Год назад

"My feelings are more important than reality" 😂

@peltiereric6497 Год назад

That drift you made is awesome and would be a great addition to your Etsy store, you can’t buy that kind of drift anywhere as Holland Anvil makes H13 Drifts for Single Bit Hatchets and Axes but not not Double Bit so I would think you could probably sell them

@Dcypell Год назад

I love the way you talk to yourself while forging. Please don't even try to stop. Be yourself and don't be self conscious about your process. Nothing but respect, love your videos!

@romantressler4480 Год назад

Im glad to see i'm not the only person who does the poor mans anneal. Great video brother. For your 1st double bit axe, you did great. Also, yes, your feelings are more important than anything else. So let's hope the judges put that into consideration. Great work man.

@HeavyForge Год назад

Definitely one fine axe! Always remember never use a chainsaw Forge the chain into an axe! Be a man!!!😂💪🏻

@AnotherUnsociableOne Год назад

I’m glad that I’m not the only person who talks to myself when “in the zone”

@kzarnold3678 Год назад

The chainsaw canister damascus to make a axe head had me laughing. The irony 🤣

@darknet8664 11 месяцев назад

I love you talk to yourself while forging ;)

@billwalker5883 Год назад

Congratulations on your first sponsor. You deserve it for all your hard work.

@B-leafer Год назад

Sweet! Nice deep cuts on that tree. Beautiful.

@outlawsamurai47 Год назад

I just want to say one thing this man not only made an ax that any redneck worth his salt would want to have and our own but look at all that dwarvish bling he has on it not trying to talk straight out of the bowels of moria gimbli approved

@brinschneider9998 6 месяцев назад

I love you channel man. One of the first channels I started watching when delving into smithing! and still one of my favorites

@RedBeardOps Год назад

Dude that pattern is awesome! I need to make an axe one day. Cheers sir

@robbiepayne1857 Год назад

Love the axe also like that your straight forward when you forge and speak your mind.

@Algorhythmz Год назад

Great stuff, John. I could never tire of watching you at your craft, I feel like I'm right there at the shop sharing a cold one and learning all about smithing. Thank you for taking us along on this ride with you, it's truly fantastic stuff.

@kuriakos Год назад

Another great blacksmithing John on RU-vid. Subscribed!

@the_fafologist Год назад

Flaws and all that turned out amazing.

@davidweeks1997 Год назад

Nice. I think Lincoln would approve!

@jamesriddle4299 Год назад

John that is a great job!!! I also love how modest you are.

@broadriverforge Год назад

Great Job, nice and clean!

@KimP0612 Год назад

Congratulations on your first sponsor!

@prato-24 Год назад

Congrats on your Sponsor!!! Great looking axe and don’t worry about mumbling when you forge…we didn’t notice til you mentioned it 🤪 Good luck in the competition!!!

@stephenjohnson6841 Год назад

What a great looking axe! I really like how you break everything down. Thanks again John!

@PJTForging Год назад

This is absolutely beautiful. Love this build! 😍

@leppicknives9830 Год назад

Contracts on your first sponsor, cool and usable axe too. Good work.,👍👍

@r4dwolf Год назад

That's awesome! Love that you used chainsaw chains for a wood chopping axe 😂 Thanks for showing all the things that didn't go according to plan, very helpful.

@billwoehl3051 Год назад

Congratulations Bruce 👍

@White_devil1980 Год назад

Great to see a double headed axe as there are not sold anymore 😢 great work 😊👍

@KimP0612 Год назад

Looks like a Batman symbol.

@jeremyr6533 Год назад

That’s awesome !!! Excellent job !!!

@przemysawrozycki3107 Год назад

I love your way of doing stuff, its like encouraging me to do stuff. Most of the time you are showing stuff and saying well make it and its not gonna be perfect but "im just a human", hella strong human :D

@redwolfknives3174 Год назад

Very cool build! Especially with you being so close to The Cradle of Forestry! Beautiful ax!

@RainyDayForge Год назад

11:00 Thank you! I've only made a few axe heads and I didn't know why those Vs where happening. I feel like I gained a bit of understanding. Your axe turned out great and congrats on getting a new sponsor! Fun video.

@SchysCraftCo. Год назад

Forge On. God Bless.

@LeandroGoretta Год назад

It looks super and well built. Congratulations on your work. Greetings!

@davidelliott8324 Год назад

Excellent axe! A light axe with good geometry can do some serious work. And congrats on your relevant and down to earth sponsor!

@gatorcreekcustomknives321 Год назад

Great job John!!!

@markhess3030 Год назад

You're a great teacher! Very enjoyable.

@concernedcitizen2868 Год назад

I love it. even with the spider web looking cracks i think it gave it more charctor

@rodgerklindt3165 Год назад

Great project, mean swing.

@jeffreycarter1223 Год назад

You got my vote, it’s actually a chopper and not a call of duty video game sword knife. Love the esthetic of a real world tool. Awesome work as always.

@Rejoice1631 Год назад

Very nicely done, good sir.!.!.!

@timbrownblacksmithandknife5648 Год назад

I think it came out really cool.

@AdoreYouInAshXI 11 месяцев назад

6:54 absolutely the face of a mad genius

@adamwahrheit1246 Год назад

Good job John! Awesome video!

@howardmanuel Год назад

You are amazing. Thank you for letting me watch you work. Some day I will try to make an ax from the wornout chains I saved from 30 years of heating with wood. 😊 The wornout bars should be good too.

@christophersherratt7299 Год назад

Just come across your video thought it was SO FUNNY WHEN YOU HAD THE AXE UNDER THE PRESS COULD NOT STOP LAUGHING AT THE FACES YOU WAS MAKING YOU LOOKED LIKE JUST CAME OUT OF A MENTAL INSTITUTION SO FUNNY. BUT YOU DID A VERY GOOD JOB ON THE AXE EVEN IF YOU THOUGHT IT WAS NOT GOOD ENOUGH IT'S A BEAST 😮😊

@JPsBladeworks Год назад

Thats a beautiful axe. I should have gotten a drift for mine but i wasnt sure what i was doing so injust winged it

@ThecrazyScotsman Год назад

Cool challenge nice job and congrats on the sponsor

@maddus82 Год назад

Awesome work. Looks great 👍

@christopherholmes7324 Год назад

Lovely work! Keep it up! 👍

@ozarkscarguy540 Год назад

I love this axe. Especially since I run a sawmill and chainsaw every day. I've only forged a hammer but someday I'd love to forge a double bit axe.

@joshualarimore3670 Год назад

Nice axe, wish I had my 3D glasses while watching the test chopping!

@johanpenner2138 Год назад

Cool power hammer design.

@butthedd0233 Год назад

Very impressive. Eye like it.

@gregchapman2634 Год назад

Awesome pattern!

@DBCraftWorld Год назад

I was wondering what is a purpose of double axe- it's cool you explained it:). This pattern and overall style is great! Great job John!

@user-fl8yv7rz6f Год назад

You made a tree feller out of part of a tree feller, but if you had used motorcycle chain it would have been a chopper from part of a chopper.

@TheBlueCollarConservative Год назад

Beautifully done.

@hulkthedane7542 Год назад

Very nice axe. 👍👍

@NjalLaing Год назад

Very nice tools 👍

@rickhall1381 Год назад

@jimmyghersi Год назад

Very cool!

@billwoehl3051 Год назад

I have a huge coil spring out of a railroad engine suspension I would like to make hammers, axe's, tools, etc. out of. My biggest worry is the handle line up. Your's ended up spot on, very well done 👍❤️
