Spent the day with my fellow Vermonter @shipwrightskills making a ash axe handle. We steam bend the handle so hopefully it will be super strong. I recently forged a Snow and Nealy style axe head that I want to fit it to it. #vermontbyvermonters #vermontlife #steambending #woodworking #woodwork #blacksmith #axe #makingtools #axehandle (at Georgia Center, Vermont) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpfuNxoFO14/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=yic9xcion4py

@chopwithchris has the first video out now of @shipwrightskills Chris & myself forging a axe, this is the first of a few more videos coming out soon on it, on Chris’s channel. I’ll put a link to it in my profile if you want to check it out. #blacksmith #woodworking #blacksmithing #makingtools #bowandarrows #archery #forging #chopwithchris https://www.instagram.com/p/BpbzALbl3--/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=137m1vg71kq9p

Forging a few hand tools. Chamfering the edges. One really nice thing about my Little Giant Power Hammer is how sensitive it is and how lightly you can consistently hit. #tuned -The Dubliners if you’re wondering #littlegiantpowerhammer #powerhammer #forging #vermontlife #makingtools

Need a tool, make a tool. Making a pebble texture hammer out of an old reclaimed mostly crap body hammer. This end in dimpled and the other has weld bead dots. #makingtools #texturehammer #repurposed #metalwork #blacksmith https://www.instagram.com/p/CK-hYo-DHux/?igshid=28tyglg4po4y

Little studio test. Window screen as more tactile/material/symbolic ND filter - playing with exposure for an upcoming series of images and short films. #makingtools #studiotest #littlestudio #filmmaking #polaroids #chicagostudio (at Chicago, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGGpvZmF_VQ/?igshid=i64ng6trhj6l

Made a handle for my touchmark. It is a slit drifted 5/8” bar with a double twist in the handle. It will allow me to hit the tool harder with a BIG hammer without risking my thumb. Made a quick 2-heat hook while I was working. #riddleofsteel #touchmark #makingtools #fireandforge https://www.instagram.com/p/B6EpJNsA9v-/?igshid=1hmo4trykhvd5
