How to Make a Small Forge Welded Tomahawk Out of A Farrier's Rasp
Vložit

- Today we'll be forging a small throwing tomahawk out of half of a farrier's rasp. After the last tomahawk build, I got a lot of suggestions for a throwing hawk with a socket. This is a little mouse hawk, great for small chopping tasks and throwing.
This is the fourth tomahawk I've forged welded and I'm still learning. It's been a lot of fun and I'm hoping to do more videos with forge welding and lamination.
Thanks for watching and enjoy!

DUDE! I remember watching your pvc bow videos way back in the day. Now you’re up to forging axe heads. Amazin
Nick i just started forging stuff and when i saw your videos that realy helped me with my project. keep it up 👍🏻
You are the best blacksmith on CZcams by far
I’m way late to the video but out of every video I’ve watched you do it the most practical way possible and is awesome!! Great work!
dude not only are your videos so interesting but your voice is also so soothing
I love that tomahawk! It is so interesting with the remaining rasp pattern on it, and the whole design was clean and simple.
This is so cool. I especially love that scaly texture on the back of the axe head. Like if it was some kind of Dragon Scale Axe. Absolutely beautiful.
You make this all seem so doable, accessible, and like we can do it. You take away any excuses!
"Waaah No tools!" Bam, a video with one or no tools lol etc.
I love it! Keep it up..s. you should do a viewer creations episode so people can show you and each other what we've made from your tutelage and inspiration!
You are an inspiration. To find a love like forging while still having so much life ahead of you is a blessing. You clearly know your mind and have a generous heart for sharing. Thank you for the work you do
Wow, not gonna lie, but that was the best thing ive ever seen! Ive always wondered how you could take a billet of steel and make the hole in it for the handle! Thanks
Holy crap this is the easiest approach to making a camp ax ive ever seen! Thank you! This is absolutely ingenious man!
That's a great looking piece. The scale effect from the rasp teeth is neat
I like that the texture from the original tool stays on the axe head, very nice aesthetic, looks sturdy as well!
This guy has talent, CZcams should be filled with more people like this guy instead we have pre-teens auto-tuning crappy songs
Wow. Your channel has grown so much. Awesome throws. A+ 100%
Keep up the great work, Nick.
You sir are a true Master of your craft.Keep inspiring all of us backyard guys and girls. Keep up the great work and vids.
I can see how this can be *really* addicting from a creative standpoint. Your work is beautiful, functional and incorporates found materials. How about a video about how someone can get started in blacksmithing? Maybe a detailed discussion of your forge, work area and tools?
Man there are those of us that watch and those who do. You are a do"er.... Great stuff
You are an engineer. Very nice. Not only the design but also the perfect stability.
Stil one of the best tomohawks on yt.
Dude I thought you were never going to make another video.... Thanks for the quality workmanship
Again young man I really like how you repurpose and add value. You have a skill set. Thanks for a very good video.
Like your work. I also like that your forging very nice knives, etc. using a chunk of mild steel as an anvil while everyone else on CZcams, that's forging knives, etc. swears that you must have a cast steel or forged steel anvil, or at a minimum, a piece of train rail. My anvil consist of a 140 lbs. base with a 50 lbs. chunk of cast iron fastened on top & it works very well. Keep up the good work!
You are a great handcraftsman Nick the axe looks awesome!!
I’m going to try this tonight. I have a bunch of farrier rasps laying around. I’ve never forge welded anything before!
great job.I don't really know what tomahawks are supposed to look like but yours splits wood easily and can be thrown so id have to say it seems like it's accurate enough.I hope to see more of your videos,you have some good skill working with metal.
Great to have you making video again!
I gotta admit, I'm somewhat envious of these skills. Good job man. It would be awesome to make my own axe and bring it to the woods.
the weld came out so good that u dont even see it has been welded, great job Nick.
That hawk is AWESOME great job
Awesome! How about a medieval war hammer?
That would be cool to see! I agree!!
like of the skyrim war hammers would be cool
yeah that's a good idea
War hammer would be awesome!
Aubrey Owens Yeah, I hope he will make a "bec de corbin" style war hammer or maybe a czekan
I like that you left the rasp pattern, it looks like a snakeskin from here.
man you're the coolest guy ever
The pattern left from the rasp looks REALLY nice.
Nice and clean work for throw tomahawk bro! Love it
I really love your videos. You have got the "eye" for how to form and make things...
Dude you made this look way to easy!!
So beautiful yet simple tomahawk. I have wanted to do my own for months and this gave me some nice ideas. Thanks for the great vid
Beautiful 'hawk. your 'backyard' series is inspirational. Fertile imagination. :You never disappoint..
Awesome job, Nick! I like how you left some of the texture of the rasp. One of my favorite YT channels by far
You should make a spear, and great job on your vids. Love your work, Nick, keep it up!
Nice, Easier than I thought... time to fire up the forge and get to it :)
Hey Nick I was thinking that you should make a sickle for the next build. Your a awesome blacksmith keep up the good work !
Well, coming early is my specialty
I would like to see a Bowie knife that would be cool these tomahawks look like a lot of fun to make keep up the good work
Pole style war hammer! Hammer one side, spike the other on a 5-6ft pole with another spike on the end. No real modern day use but would be me end of days weapon of choice :) Rumored to be weapon of choice for plate armoured foot soldiers of old, used more as leverage to topple other armoured soldiers, then used to finish them off once they are down. love the channel, keep it up mate
Wow!! That’s really impressive sir!!
Well done, very nice tomahawk!!
Awesome video! I have a bucket full of rasp!
very cool how you tempered and hardened the edge all in one shot. I've never seen that before.....Very cool
Again I'm impressed by your work. I would like to see a video on you making forge tools. I would also like to see a PVC takedown bow with a forged body
Nick you do an awesome job your inspirational.
A bearded viking axe(long or short) would be cool to see. Great vids man!
definitely making me one of those when I get a chance
Hey Nick. I remember the video showing us your anvil. It looks like it's been getting its fair share of use. This turned out great. I'm feeling inspired. Keep it up Bro.
You really do make it look so easy - your projects are fantastic...wow!
The effect on the head looks amazing !
Fantastic craftsmanship!
Awesome skills and perfect workshop experience... You are amazing... brother
wow I gotta tell you that Axe head looks beautiful !
I hate when the camera stops working it happens to me all the time. you are awesome
Another very fine job and your "how to" videos are great, thanks Nick!
+Axe Grinder Thanks for watching!
Beautiful work brother!
Very enjoyable, and I learned some. Nice job.
Love your videos Nick, because of you I'll be starting to make me own knives, bows etc.
Would live to see a video of you make a knife with knuckle duster handle.
Great job,Love the Finnish product 👏
just loving your work. well done, especially with simple tools. thankyou bro. from Hamilton Ontario Canada.
+Dario H. Thank you!
when I seen the file at first I had my doubts about it but the tomahawk came out great man nice work
a small patterned crossbow with a forged steel bow would be awesome.
You'd need something like springsteel to do it right though.
and some acid engraving on the back of the bow if you're confident.
A true smithy, thru and thru.
Nice the way they did it minus the grinders
This is really cool I love blacksmithing I think it's my favorite hobby, I'm not the best, but it's really fun to make knives
Nick, very nice work! Hwever, I'd like to see updates on how well that forge weld holds up! I think if youuse it hard that the wled will let go and break apart! You did a VERY good job on the weld but, I do wish, for hard work's sake that you had welded it higher into the eye! Itwouldn't have taken much mote work to do it and you alreadyhave the mandrel and the know how!
PLEASE, post an update in a yearor so as to how it holds up and as to how hard you used it!
I'm an old Mountain Man reenactor and a Blacksmith that has become disabled with a rare disease that eats the cartilage from ALL my joints so, I can no longer do much forging! I hopeyou continue in the Blacksmithing of tools you need! Remember, Need a tool, Make it!
Thanks for the video!
I'm going to attempt this myself to see how close to the eye I can get the weld and how it works with hard use! Nice throwing, BTW!
Really beautiful. The fuke that you use give particular design to all Tomahawk. Complinets, it is beautiful
Beautiful craftsmanship! Very well done!
I love all your work my man.
great job. that is a sweet hawk.
I really like how the grit of the Rasp gives it a dragon scale effect
Nice video. Awesome tomahawk. Whatever you do looks great. Maybe make a throwing spear.
It would be freaking awesome if you did concept work on custom arrowheads and tested them out, kinda like how DemolitionRanch did with their shotgun shells.
I think everyone can agree with me that it would be cool as hell for you to kinda start a little "science" series where you forge and test out weapons from video games and tell us the pros and cons of such weapons and why they can or cannot be used in actual combat.
I'd watch the shit out of a show like that :O
Looks pretty dang cool to me. Thanks for sharing.
There are times i wish i lived further away from the city so that i could have a forge and use it without anyone complaining.
Great job explaining the whole process. Thanks !
Where did you learn this?! Your skills continue to grow and grow bro. Awesome.
wow you are a true artist , excellent work and god bless
bearded viking axe. please it would be super cool and it would step up your level in in blacksmithing. oh and can you tell us how you make your forge.
Always impressed with your skills. Wonderful channel.
Excellent work and idea
More bows please! Would love to see a powerful yumi bow build!
Nicely done. Still would like to see a Searles style Bowie.
I've been watching your videos for a long time and I find them amazing love your work. I was curious how you learned your skills .
Pretty piece of work.
use farrier's rasp make the finishing look's like scales, i like that touch.
your videos are bomb man! ur so chill. i have a coupple rasps that im gonna make into those for fun
great work. beautiful tomahawk !
good job, love it. Next time try make one with a pole/hammer on the back
you deserve way more subscribers
This is pretty much the video I was looking for. Now I know I don't need a big fancy anvil to make something cool I have a reason to clean out the garage.
AGreat job Nick!
Hey Nick, love your videos. Your skills have really come a long way. Keep up the great work.
