awesome video axe forging step by step

[reed1285]

This guy, John Neeman, really knows his stuff. Im usually not into this kind of stuff, but I found watching this 13 minute video mesmerizing. My attention span usually only spreads to 4-5 mns for online videos, but once I started watching this, i couldn't quit watching. The ax he makes in the video is pretty awesome. Like I said its 13 minutes long but a good video of a true bladesmith doing fine work.

Yeah that power hammer has broken fingers written all over it for me lol. Pretty impressive machine though. I love that axe he makes. I bet it fetches/fetched a pretty penny

Probably a fifty pounder. They have some force. Nothing says "I like pain" quite as well as using a machine with 200 lbs of force to slam a 1700 degree piece of metal that your holding lol. And yeah that axe will bring money...

I sure hope it will bring money, because that looks like a whole lotta hard work. Amazing talent.

LOVE the vids they have of the axe and chisel being made but my fave is the knife.
