This video shows the pace we normally move at. Typically we try not to stop unless to drink some water. After a few axes in a row you become very consistent and your forging becomes rhythmic. I’m forging Farm axes which are really big... normally this step would be done in the first heat, but since they’re so large we add an extra heat to move all the steel. Big ole blades on these suckers! Www.hoffmanblacksmithing.com | Hoffman Blacksmithing

Working with the Nazel on heat number 1 in a batch of saddle axes. Love this machine, it has soul! I’m currently testing out an apron prototype that we made in house. This will be a new product offering in the future. The second prototype is being sewn as I type! Www.hoffmanblacksmithing.com | Hoffman Blacksmithing

Heat number one on camp axes. Nathan and I spent the last 4 days to improve our first heat process for camp axes which was developed in August 2020. I’m relentless in improving even the smallest detail if we can. We’ll have a process that already works and poor Nathan puts up with me every time I decide let’s scrap it and start over 😂 We learn more and more about this each time we forge, even after thousands of axes under the belt. | Hoffman Blacksmithing

@chile_forge makes a killer forge. I’ve been using them for around 4 years now, and over those 4 years we’ve put over 8,000 pounds of axes and other tools through them. They were kind enough to send us this one burner forge for students to use in my upcoming classes. Whether it’s making a hook, forge welding, or production axe making these things rock. Top of the line. Give them a serious consideration if you’re looking for a propane forge! Thanks Nathan and Mercer for bombing this video. | Hoff

We’re blacksmiths, not “grindersmiths”! But, a little grinding helps to clean up final touches to the axe. Luckily not much is needed as the profile and cross section are forged close to shape. The brute de forge finish on Hoffman Axes is not only aesthetic, but a testimony to the craftsman’s process. This big batch of fireman’s will yield a few extras that will be in-stock with no wait at www.hoffmanblacksmithing.com after they’re finished! | Hoffman Blacksmithing

**FARM AXE** This will be the largest LH axe in production when my orders open back in June. This full sized axe with a 4.5lb head with a 5 3/4 inch blade sits on a 32 inch handle. An absolute beast, with a size and design that yields itself to a variety of things - such as felling and bucking large trees, and splitting wood. Www.hoffmanblacksmithing.com | Hoffman Blacksmithing
