Dude. total respect from start to finish, %100 to you and everyone involved, truly mean that. however. I hate to say it, but it's far from economical for the majority that would rather simply modify their techniques to use what they can afford
Personally, even though being more well off than some, personally, I'd rather run through we'll say 3 average axes over 5+ years for still half the price.
Respect the dedication and craft, but sadly in today's age, most average people would agree bc most can't afford it
I hope you continue to do what you enjoy and spread the positive lifestyle that is being lost, but in reality, it's gotta be more commercially viable and accessible to the majority

OK, there is no way I would be able to afford one of these, nor would I ever be able to travel by air in business class. I will never be able to afford a Landrover, either. Nor a woodland. Nor a yacht. Nor a ski chalet.
If I HAD the money, I would acquire all of the above. Fashion and jewellery are of no interest to me, nor are holidays in 5/6/7 hotels, nor cars. But, that axe looks like a thing of beauty; a piece of art with functionality. So, for anyone wealthy enough, or willing to push the boat out, good on ya! As my mother used to say,
You never regret an extravagance! .

Absolutely beautiful!
I've watched a fair few smithing videos, and while this one is very good in that regard also, I especially appreciated seeing the leather making process, that I hadn't come across before.
If only you'd have had a bit of footage of the leather working as well
Great project, documentation and video, and the axe itself looks great as well! Will definitely be getting one before I move out of the UK, that level of craftsmanship, dedication and using all local talent and raw materials needs all possible support

That is such an amazing procedure it all went through! I love all the real craftsmanship and old techniques that were used to make this beautiful axe! Congratulations on having your very own axes made! Must feel incredible! I wonder what it smelled like at the tanner. I imagine it being either really bad/weird, or like new leather, which is smell i love. Happy holidays to you, your dad and your family!

What a great presentation. from beginning to end. The map, the journey past Stonehenge, and of course, the hundred year old stately ash. If I were younger, I would jump on one in a heartbeat. The price is very fair considering the workmanship in every aspect of production. The leather production alone, screams quality, historical significance, and perfection.

Awesome video and what a fabulous legacy provided by that mighty ash. I hope you gain considerable mercantile benefits from this and other products you're involved with well into the future, as when you gain, so does the natural realm. Capitalism in it's most benificent expression essentially. I'm seeing the new TA Outdoors 'English Lavvu' in my minds eye.

Beautiful piece of work. You can see that it is well buit.
Your narration of these processes of traditional crafts completes the story.
Very inspiring and happy to see those people putting their souls for others.
No wonder they are sold out already.
Great job!

What a great use of your 100 year old ash tree we use hickory in the states I made some with ash and black walnut too! Nice videos that you have made over the years! Enjoyable ones!
Merry Christmass!

By the time this would get shipped here to Canada. I would be set back about 450 CAD. It's a beautifully crafted axe. But Damn! I got bills to pay and kids to feed. Our economy is in the toilet. I need practical items. Not luxury items.

After watching one of your previous videos I went over to Joe website at Thornwood forge and ordered that hatchet. I can honestly say the workmanship is outstanding. Great communication with Joe himself too. Thank you. Merry Christmas to all

That looks like some quality, and more importantly, traditional manufacturing, resulting in an exquisite tool that will probably last someone a lifetime. If I didn't have three other axes already, I'd be all over this, but I do, so.

Hi Mike, my 13year old has been watching you for about 2-3 years now and absolutely loves your videos. Tristan would really love one of your axes, but he s just told me it says sold out. Is there any chance there may be more? Thanks

Amazing! Being an engineer I see how quickly we are moving away from that kind of attachment and zeal for nature and simple things. Sad that I couldn't buy one to bring here to the Canadian west coast. Keep inspiring!

Great video Mike! I doubt very much that I can afford one of the axes (haven't checked pricing yet, but the video was outstanding. You should do more similar videos about how bushcraft gear is made in the U. K.

I was thinking the same a good while back, but then, I am also a blacksmith, LOL. Ash is a fine choice with a straight grain. Preserving history is wonderful. Think of how much work it was without the power tools.

I sent my daughter, who is into spoon carving, and seems to enjoy the hobby. There are several different types of hatches, also handmade and a price that reflects that hard 2ork that took to make it.
