HUGE THROWING AXE

  • This week I take on forging a large double bit throwing axe from junk yard steel - an old torsion bar to be exact. Its a tricky job taking this old steel and carefully reforging it under the power hammer and at the anvil to pull out this beautiful axe head.
    My name is Timothy Dyck. I got hooked on blacksmithing when I was 13 years old. I quickly realized that in order to keep blacksmithing I needed money to buy costly supplies, so I started making small items and selling them at the local farmer markets. The farmer markets turned into craft shows and craft shows turned into custom projects. Right out of high school I had the opportunity to apprentice under a blacksmith, where I worked with him for four years. We did projects for some of the most prestigious houses around the rocky mountains and were apart of many large public sculptures. I learned many valuable lessons while working under his training, but the desire to set up my own shop and go out on my own was always something I dreamed about.
    So in 2013 I started setting up my full time blacksmith shop out of BC, Canada making custom projects and products like railings, gates, lights, stairs, fences and all the many blacksmithing tools required to keep the blacksmithing shop running. I love what I do and this is my dream job. I enjoy showing you what's going on in the blacksmith shop through the lens of a camera and would love to have you along for the ride as I live out my dream of being a blacksmith in the 21st century.

    @BigWillSD Před 5 lety

    Great video! What is your/the formula to figure out the amount of, in this case round stock, to achieve the mass of the finished product?

    • @BigWillSD
      @BigWillSD Před 5 lety

      Also, you may have done it off screen but if not, if you put a smooth coat of wood glue on the wedge just before inserting it, it doubles as a lubricant while your driving it in.

    • @TimothyDyck
      @TimothyDyck  Před 5 lety +1

      Just volume calculations. I very roughly figure out the volume of the blank with the eye in it, before I draw the bit. basically its a rectangle. I honestly don't spend to much time punching number, always go with a bit more and what my gut says. 😜

  • @nickverbree
    @nickverbree Před 5 lety

    Great job dude. Any idea how much it ended up weighing?

    • @TimothyDyck
      @TimothyDyck  Před 5 lety +1

      I'm guessing around 4 lbs or so. I actually did not weight it.

    Beautiful axe. But mass produced axes should be used for throwing. Keep that one as a tool or a wall hanger.
