Email This Page to a FriendPreview: The Birth Of A Tool, Axe Making

July 16, 2013

This video is one that I keep coming back to. The process of creating a tool from start to finish with this level of quality is stunning. The carpenter customizes each handle to properly fit the blade made by the blacksmith. The process is humbling and incredible, which makes me want to add a John Neeman piece to my own collection. In my shop, almost everything I've acquired has been manufactured by a machine. This short film peaks my interest and imagination of what is possible to build with a pair of hands.

You can have a look at their site here: NeemanTools.com

John Neeman Tools are being hand crafted in Latvia.

They have some incredible Chisels and Knives on the site as well...
