Some people are just fricking jealous because they don't have your skill level. True craftsman don't judge they understand the art and hard work it takes to be a professional. Take care enjoy all your videos
Very well said. Not a Contest, just admire others and learn what you Can.
Spot on! Negative folks don’t bring very much to those folks around them… hateful,and jealous folks don’t bring in much light to their surroundings!
I love that first comment. Someone clearly doesn't understand the difference between making and forging 😂
In my way of thinking. What does it matter. You are great at what you do. Who ever said it just needs to get over it. Love the videos and content and I am learning through you in how to do things. Great job 👍 keep it up
I’ve been watching your channel a lot and impress with all you skills and craftsmanship.
Love this, haters gonna hate and remember “there’s makers and there’s takers” screw that noise keep doing what you do love your content.
You're not a nuclear engineer, you're just smashing atoms together.
Great channel love your work keep up the great content.
Thanks Bill!
I enjoy the content and the presentation! Thank you for sharing.
Pimpin ain’t easy!😂
YES! Having a hatchet head without a handle does indeed make it a hatchet! I had an Anasazi hand ax 1,200 years old'ish. The sole purpose was to have a harder surface than what you would be working. Weight was important to carry the blow. Length of throw was the force multiplier! The eventual handle addition was for this. Make my arm longer.
Man… that nut inside the golf ball is awesome! I’ve used a golf ball but having the threads to catch and actually grip and keep it on the file is just genius!!! Man o man I’m so happy I stubbed across your channel!!! Definitely have a new fan!!!
The golf ball hack is exactly why I subscribe to your channel. I try to come up with new ways of utilizing my own tools. Sometimes even when you don’t say anything about the way you are doing something,doesn’t mean I don’t get it. If you watch closely enough you will catch on. As others have said, just keep doing what you do. Thanks again for the information.
I love the golf ball hack. Will be using that in the future. Keep on keepin on...
Your pimping spaghetti.....lol. 😂🤣
Regarding vice location, I have heard on many woodworking videos that a right-handed person should normally mount their vice on the left so their right hand could push a hand plane on the right side of their body toward the vice (holding the work) rather than crossing their push hand to propel a vice. A left-handed person would mount theirs on the right side of their bench for the same reason. This may or may not be absolutely correct, but it is definitely traditional and has always worked for me. Being right-handed, I would not ever want my vice mounted on the right side of the bench from my working experience. My best comment would be to "mount it where you want to and see how it works for you". Just my two cents. Thanks for your videos.
We need “Pimp My Hatchet” shirts! 😂
100% would buy one of those!
I'd but one.
I’m kinda digging the whole… “Pimp my hatchet!!!” Concept! That’s a KZhead channel fo sure, Yo! You will want to work on your Be-Dazzle and your Bling work probably!!! I do enjoy seeing a “Troll” get blown up or seeing some sizzle around their edges!!! I enjoy your feedback and commentary back to some of your comments! ❤️😁👍. Very informative stuff! I love learning new things and having your channel pop up into my feed was just a joy!!! Fantastic stuff!!!
Been watching your show for quite some time now & we can see and feel that you are doing what you enjoy with passion. Only another Artistic person will understand that feeling of satisfaction when a project is completed. This Qs & As is really a great segment, should do more of it. It's just magical if family members get involve in what you doing, it's how we learn & grow as a family which is quite rare nowadays. We all enjoy watching your shows & learn alot from it. We hope to see in the future more of your "live anvil work" in the outside shed that you built. It's facinating.! Have a great year mate. Be safe. Be yourself. Warm greetings from Christmas Island.
Nice golf ball trick 👌
If what the trolls say is true, then we need to stop calling it "make-up" and start calling it "face pimping" or "post aging surface covering." 3:00 OH HEY! There I am! lol
I don't know about metal. However, woodworking vise are on the left because of the way you work a plane or chisel.
Questions and comments are good. Just remember that advise of that sort can have the same value as you paid for it. Just figure out what to listen to.
It takes skill to fit a handle to a hatchet, you have to craft it therefore you made it.👍
The old conundrum The art of craftsmanship VS. The craft of artmanship
I also use golf balls as file handles, I like the idea of putting a nut in the hole to give added bonding strength. Currently, I drill a hole some smaller than the "tang" and rely on friction fit to hold it in place. I'll admit, I've had one fall off before, I just pressed it in further and that seems to have done the trick. I'm definitely going to try the nut idea nevertheless :)
Making is doing, as opposed to me watching. At work they object to me bring in my bridgeport to the hospital on break so I watch. But the world doesn’t need any more cutting boards.
This reminds me of the car world, the built not bought. What is a build? Most of us are not fabricating more than brackets, most of our parts are purchased, etc. I wouldn't worry about the pimp my ride comments either.
If you're a pimper you need to get a orange velvet hat and a red suit. Vibes of Huggy bear.
Greetings my friend. I enjoy all your builds and the content of your videos. It a shame that some of your viewers become unhappy trolls and find fault with most everything they view online, people hide behind there computers and I-phones. Which makes them cowards. I believe it’s envy because they are unable to use their hands to create beautiful things. However whenever you give a voice to insanity you always get an insane response. Please know that a larger majority of your viewer’s realize what you do takes hard work, creativity and craftsmanship. Thank you and continued success on all your up coming endeavors. Sincerely Rik of (Eastern bushcraft and survival)
Thats it im callin it pimping dinner from now on!!!!!
I wouldn't defend yourself. Weather you're restoring, or making from scratch; it's still interesting
I always wonder why I do not see more strop use on your instructional s videos? Am I missing it or do you just not use strops much? I understand that an axe does not need stropping but most of your knife videos I am now t seeing stropping. I wondered about that as my great uncle said “oil stone, whet one or any stone then a strop”. That was how he worked his knife edge. My father just used whetstone’s but wondered about your preferences?
I almost always strop at the end of sharpening, but typically I do it on my 1x30 with a stropping belt. Its an old belt, flipped with the paper side out and then loaded with polishing compound. Thanks for the comment.
I want to express my opinion clearly. That idea of questions is a bad thing. Many of us follow this account because of your works, workshops and knives, ideas, etc. However, we only watch because we do not understand the language and there is no translation. I want to say, the video has always been more important than the story. So people don't watch this type of video because they don't understand. 🙋 Pleasant
I love my PIMPED OUT axes. Edit: FIRST
Success: If you can make a living(or even a "killing") at what you enjoy.
I get the same comments when I make knives with finished blades I purchase in Finland. The reality is I need to control costs on my projects to justify them. I can't imagine what could be wrong with restoring an old meat cleaver or hachet. It is just a hobby I enjoy bringing things back to service. Never claimed to be a blacksmith. Ignore the critics.
Where do you get comments? I checked out your channel.
From people who I talk to in person. I don't make you tube videos.
Tacky comments can elicit the best answers.
Virtual splitting of th hair/hare , ppl think they know/noe all , mostly they don't know what they don't know, carry on!
When you expertly and diligently craft a bow using almost exclusively hand tools, aren't you really just tricking out a tree? 🤔🧐
Kind of defensive when it is just some randos comment.
Not trying to disagree with you but for me if I make something I make the whole thing myself I have a leather shop and if I fix something for a customer I don’t say I made it I don’t put my mark on it I only claim making it if I made the whole thing that’s why I have never used a kit to me if anyone uses a kit it’s called assembly not making on the other hand I enjoy your videos nice work
But at what point do you call it something you made? Is tanning your own leather a requirement, or since the cow grew the hide, can no one but the caw say they made the item?
Please inform us all how you created a cow.
@@joshuadocter2277 My point exactly. I could say I made the cow in a biolab, but then who made the lab? Building something out of premade marts is still making it. Giving new life to old objects is still making as well.
Yeah its not making unless you planted the sead, that grew the corn, that feed the cow, slaughtered the cow, tanned the hide that made the leather work. 🙄
I run an auto upholstery shop I agree with you 💯
I suppose he thinks people who make furniture aren't really making furniture because they didn't grow the trees. Keep doing what you're doing, we've got your back.
7:50 the craftsman who doesn’t learn is not much of one. Even better is the craftsman who acknowledges his learning.
