Your first axe won't be your best one. That's not a warning — it's the whole point.
Every real axesmith's early attempts came out rough, a little heavy, maybe crooked in the eye. What separates the smiths who stick with it from the ones who give up after one bad attempt isn't talent — it's knowing exactly what went wrong and how to fix it next time. Axe Forging for Beginners is the complete, safety-first guide that gets you from cold steel to a working, hand-forged axe of your own, with the judgment to keep improving long after you close the book.Inside this hands-on, 30-chapter guide, you'll learn how to:
- Set up a safe, functional forge on a budget — coal or gas, ventilation, and shop layout done right
- Choose and read steel like a smith, from mild-steel bodies to high-carbon bits
- Master fire and hammer fundamentals: reading color, controlling blows, and working the right heat range
- Forge a complete axe head from bar stock through punching the eye, drawing the bit, and shaping the profile
- Heat-treat and quench for a working edge that actually holds up
- Fit and haft a handle so the head and the wood work as one tool
- Build the honest self-assessment habits that turn one finished axe into a lifelong craft
You don't need natural talent to make a real axe with your own hands. You need a clear, honest guide and the willingness to go back to the anvil.
Open Axe Forging for Beginners today, light the forge, and start building a skill that depends on nothing but fire, steel, and your own two hands.

Store description
**Please note our transit times are from the date of dispatch.** We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first purchase with us, or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
