Blacksmithing a Tomahawk

So my son made this video of the 2 of us forging a tomahawk in my workshop. My other hobby along with astrophotography.
(150 years difference in timelines lol)

Although I have forged many knives, this was a 1st tomahawk! And from a rr spike no doubt.

I think the video came out better than the tomahawk. Now I can make another one learning from the mistakes made on the 1st

But I thought the video captured a memorable quality time between my son and I. (I have invited him to join FW) As he's good with still photography too.

Link to the video: (it was too large of file to upload here!

PS.... Let me know if you have troubles with the link?

Looks like a fun thing to do in mid winter.

That would be a dangerous pastime to take on in my shop as it's entirely dedicated to woodworking with wood stashed just about everywhere.

Loved the video Ed! That was so interesting to watch.

You son did an awesome job with the video. I really like all of the camera angles. If his photos are even half as good as this video, we need to have him join and post his photos here!
