- I had commented (and linked to) a great tutorial on a method of *correctly* forging an accurate Viking Age bearded axe by Jim Austin.
This is a longish video (about 12 minutes) and well worth the time!
There are a number of tricks and methods, clearly illustrated in the shorter video above. Jim is intending to sell a full instructional DVD with information on the tooling and full descriptions of the work process.
Very great work Jim!
That is an excellent video. I wonder how they got the camera to adjust for the closeups on the forge weld.
