So you think you are handy? Can you make an ax from scratch? Video

This video highlights the craftsmen at John Neeman tools making a carpenter’s axe. When we say “making” a carpenter’s axe, we mean it. They start with a lump of steel, flat wooden stock for the handle, and some leather to make the sheath with. From there, the guys heat and hammer and heat and hammer and grind and form and temper and quench until there is an axe head that you can literally shave with.

It won't play on my phone.

I have fixed a water pump, an awning motor, serviced a generator, and all manner of other crap lately.
I am tired of being handy, for the moment.

I did. Love to have an axe like that, rarely see a forge-welded blade for one.

Got my package. Thanks!

I think I actually posted the video of the knife video a while back. I'll have to get on a computer to watch. If so, it was such a relaxing video to watch.

That was cool. Thanks.

I know not what you speak of...

Yup, that's it. The only thing I don't like about that video is the cat at the end. You would think that dude has a lab or basset hound chillin in the cabin with him. Nope...it's a cat.

I think I originally saw your thread then followed them on facebook to watch all the cool stuff they make...

Awesome craftsmanship.
Did anyone notice it was winter? Not much to do but keep yourself busy over a fire. Certainly provides the time to handcraft tools like that.

Wow very awesome. Cool to watch something I have never seen before.

Cat isn't an attention whore and that's only a two-man shop, takes a full day just to forge a billet big enough for two of their knives.

Awesome video. Thanks for sharing
