Ore to Axe

Great video.
The video shows exactly what the title says. From ore gathered in the woods to an axe cutting a tree down. I only wish it was longer. The video is a little pricey but if you want to see what backyard smelting looks like this is it. I found myself thinking about where I could come by some iron ore...

A video to get fired up about....!
A great flick. Everything you'd ever want to see or know about iron working; literally from the ground up! The photography was professional. The audio was just as it should be; clear and concise. The progression from start to finish was logical, orderly, organized and to the point. I used to be a professional film-maker for a large insurance company.... (don't ask...)... and I know of what I speak.

This is NOT a scientific, chemical laced, up-tight lecture on metallurgy!! It is rather a fun, informal, easy-going video using basic iron ore and making an ax. This was a most educational and enjoyable video. I'd buy it again....even at the terrible price listed..........!.

It is great
I was trying to figure out why the properties are so different. I know what the different compounds are but did not understand in any detail as to why. This is the perfect add on for any blacksmith trying to do true reproductions of the past. Really the only resources needed to understand it for the hands on types (like me) out there.
