Tim & Martin, I just wanted you two to know that I notice all of your hard work. I recognize how hard it must be to film, work, and edit everyday when you put out daily uploads. I appreciate you both!

Why bother?
Greetings from the sunny climes of Basle, Switzerland
P.S. if you need some more W.German + E.German (GDR), French and Swiss axe heads let me know.
Have yourself a very merry Christmas

Would be nice if you seared your logo on those beautiful handles. How about a T&M mark

I'm buying axes for the last 5 years. All came with bent hadles and/or the edge bevels are so thick, that I literally have gone through 4 Nicholson Bastard files, however I still don't have an axe that works. My next try will probably be, any of the: Muller Biber-Canada or Hultafors Forest Axe( 1kg head 70cm handle, or Bison Universal Axe, I search for a bit versatile axe, for hard wood, that can cut as deep as possible. Olive trees is our main firewood here, and they are hard as a rock and curly...vry difficult, need a good axe to both bring down medium size hard wood trees. Those axes you made, look great!! Good job sir!!

I’ve REALLY got to pick one of these up soon, Tim… been itching to make a sheath and I think one of these would live just beautifully inside of it… 🤔

A lot of the West German stuff I've seen has a really rough finish on really good steel. I have a Wiebelhaus where you wouldn't believe the quality of the edge if you looked at the huge dents, dings and machine marks left by the factory. Lovely axe though, full of character.

Martin looks like he stepped straight outta fallout

Loving these videos. Maybe you should do a live stream for day 10! I'd love to be able to afford one, but I can admire them in the videos all the same!

That W.German Hudson bay style looks so cool!

Have a merry Christmas tim. Keep the family safe❤️🌲🌲🌲❤️

Tim one day
"I'm starting to love these axes and want to keep them for myself, please buy them!"
Tim another day
"oh weird guys, suddenly the axes have issues that make them impossible to send out!"
hahahaha
I'm only kidding, Love you and your work!!
My Keep the Forge Lit hoodie came in and it's fucking fantastic. So comfy and warm without being restrictive or heavy!!

Just picked up w. German axe for $10 at the thrift store. Montreal pattern 2.5 lbs. Has the same marked up surface, thought someone had taken a grinder to it but it's under the paint.

Hello Tim, have you had any old gränsfors axes on your hands over the years? You can see that it is an old (ish) gränsfors if it has a stamp with (modelnumber) / (weight in lbs) on the opposite side of the side with the gränsfors mark.

[djhotshot]

tim buddy I would classifie that big hudson bay style axe mor of a Montreal pattern personally but I could be rong loving the restoration of axes cause I do so myself 👍😁

[nseriousget]

5:20 that can be thickened with welding machine

[mikemcivor]

Hey Tim can I send you a couple of my axe heads for restoration and rehandling ?

[ThePanelman]

Do something with the 2 bad axes 🪓. Like make 1 double axe🪓.
