they were smoking in heavy polluted air due to coal burning, they had absolutely no hygiene concerning the air they breath ―like most people today: what percentage of the population own a air sensor (cost less than 20$ ) ?
For most people today this is special to watch, especially to a Blacksmith like myself. To these men it was a another day on the job doing piece work. They make it look so easy. I've made axe and hammers before, it's not as easy as it looks, especially if you're not making them everyday as a job. They know exactly where to strike, how hard to strike, along with every other process like robots.
Is this next to the Potomac river ?
We can thank our politicians and corporations for giving away all of our manufacturing industries and making restrictions and conditions so expensive on our own manufacturing companies so that they can give it away to inferior overseas manufacturers in China, India, Pakistan and other shit holes around the world. America is the best in making things well and that last the test of time but now we got Walmart and Harbor freight and others. By the way MEN we’re MEN back then not like now a bunch of soy boys and trans things.
You're not give it away. Owners of the company move into another place for production. They will be fine 🧐, you're - f*ck*d up. 😓
Does anyone recognize the narrator's voice? It sounds to me like the actor who played the Klingon in the Star Trek episode A Private Little War, Ned Romero, I think..?
Much gratitude for this.
An excellent video. There is a traditional forge along the road leading to my grandpa's house in Italy. A neat old building that makes wonderful axes and other traditional forged tools. I have a huge cleaver made by them. Last time I visited, I heard the place has closed down. Really sad. I hope that it may re-open but, how do you compete with cheap labor from China?
thanks for such a wonderful video
Thanks that was really interesting and shows the superiority of Handmade over mass produced products.
I just can't help watching this over and over
Many a true word . Great film . 👍🇬🇧
Great Video 🙂
These guys make most on TV show forged in Fire look like punks..lol…
What a shame these wonderful places have had to close.
teriffic
$1.25 per hour was the minimum wage in 1965. It's insane.
I got me one of them and I use it everyday splitting fire wood
One of the Best Historical Videos on the Tube👍🇺🇸 thanks for Sharing
Thank you for making this film. Snow and Nealy was right on the Bangor side of the Penobscot. I have a short kindling axe, under two feet long. Had no idea the cutting edge was separate steel.
Gotta Love The Fact a American Soldier 🇺🇸 Made this Video. A wonderful Historical masterpiece!
Just awesome! Much respect!
I dont know why but this hit my heart. These guys were real tradesmen.. Actually today these guys would be Highly sought after.. Each man had a special skill.. Even the tempering was an art. These guys made it look easy. Back then when this was filmed, they were not as appreciated as in former times or present..Thank you for sharing this.. Its a Real American Story, craft and way of life !
There is no real need for axes anymore since so many good axes exist and so little people use wood to heat there houses. There is a big difference between using hand tools for a living and just using them for fun.
That's really awesome 🤙🏻🪓🪓🪓🪓
Interesting how a cigarette could makes one look low life, yet a stylish pipe makes one intelligent and well made
After a few years those poor men were probably stone def
Came here from Origin - Axes
This video is a true treasure. Thanks!
03:24 Welding a drawn out block of steel together in the 1965s?! I am not surprised that they closed their business months after filming. In Middleeurope the Eye of the Axes were in that time pushed out by a large steel pin. 03:50 An Axe of 2 steelqualities? Nothing unusal, but in the 1965s... 05:32 In a Catalouge of a US-american Company i read that the asymetrical eye was for superior alignment. Now i know that it is because of the manufacturing process. In Middleeurope we have a D shaped eye, it makes fitting the Axe to a handle much easier according to my expirience with middleeuropean axes and 2 american. 05:45 They also use a steelpin for cleaner forming of the eye, why not a D shaped Pin? God, i hate tradition sometimes. Its the same with our axes in Middleeurope, some look like old axes of 200 years ago but are jus made this way with modern tools, even if they could be made differently.
Such Twilight Zone vibes from this film. Ron Serling would be proud. Excellent content, thanks for posting
This reminds me of the 16 mm films we used to watch in grade school in the late 60s
Absolutely excellent. Thank you so much.
Incredible and overlooked piece of history recorded well, thank you.
Perfect. Thank you.
This industry still exists! C'mon, , this is 2021, use your google. 2 minutes on Etsy and you can find whatever you're looking for. Yes, Craftspeople still exist, support them.
Absolutely wonderful bit of film!
It really is a shame that this industry is lost.
Does the axe have a stamp in the steel to identify it?
To become a master, you need to take a sip of the ancient bubbling tank of cold brine.
No PPE....LOL...no goggles, cig in his mouth, no ear plugs....yeah love it
Thank you, Peter! This was a nice Christmas morning treat in my CZcams suggestions! Very well done.
As an arborist who spent his whole life in maine, I appreciate every second of this video!!!
Wonderful! Such skill, such teamwork, such danger.
I am glad that this excellent film exists, it's like a day from 1891 that lasted until 1965 in that noisy shop somehow. Danger and pollution everywhere! I'm glad for modern health and safety standards.
Thank you for sharing.
very good video
Thank you for sharing this! It’s so discouraging to see all the nasty, negative comments from know-it-all keyboard warriors who never learned a trade beyond typing insults. Beautiful film, beautifully made, and thank God you had the wherewithal to document a piece of history before it vanished! I greatly appreciate the effort and the quality. I know the time that went into making something like this on film.
Well said. I wonder if any of those axes can still be found.
ejhickey I was wondering the same thing! I wonder if they even marked them.
Answered my own question. Found one for sale on E-Bay - $269. last bid. Quite a few of these available but they aren't cheap.
@@soundmindtv2911 see my reply below. there are still some of them around. I wonder if the handles would be safe after all these years? This video got my attention because I just bought a new axe , obviously not handmade and has a composite handle. Works fine but I haven't chopped wood in years. Pretty good work out.
ejhickey wow, $269 for an axe the maker earned about $1 for 😂 Very cool history, though! Not surprising, either. I’d love to have one.
At the start of the film they were cutting blanks measured with a precision instrument.... Just saying..
We to have plenty of films like this so satisfying. True craftsman.🇬🇧🇺🇸
