Thank you for the links good sir 🙂 also are you serious about the survival review? Also may look into getting one of those file cards that would be alot easier than beating them on a board lol
Thanks for the video. I bought one nice ax and one cheaper one at Home Depot and I never use it because of the slippery handle and to wide of an edge for the ax. This was super helpful because I never thought of doing this to get my cheap ax like my German one. But I got myself a project for Sunday. Thanks for the helpful tips. Love videos like this. And as always keeping you guys in our prayers. One last thing, could you tell us what lake that was you went fishing at. My parents live near “Adam and helens” too and love to fish and when they saw that they really wanted to know where it was. It looked beautiful and great for fishing. Thanks Cody
Thx. Great axe vid
I love the Harborstar channel! Reminds me of those Homeshopping TV channels of the past ....
Thanks for the great videos, where did you pick up your vice pads ?
I don't know why youtube recommended this to me, but I watched the whole thing.
Lol same here. No clue but damned if I didn’t watch it all and I’ll be heading to the hardware store tomorrow
I was hooked!
I don't either. And I didn't. Do they grow "hickory" in China?
I guess youtube knows what i really want to watch
@@Trebuchet48 There is at least one native hickory species in China.
I know I’m late to this. But ran to harbor freight I guess they must have watched this video. My local harbor freight had the raw wood for the handle. No stickers. A more tapered profile and the back is flat. Now it’s $14. But honestly impressed that the company had gone out of their way for the consumer! Thanks for the video love your work!
no way xD good on them
I haven't seen one of these axes in a long time.
$14???? The dirty bastages. I'll be looking tomorrow.
@@scottbowen6514 use the 20% off coupon for father's day this weekend!! Still a great value. I just got one.
@@Unknown-pc9yqbuy Stanley axe for just $5 with steel handle and rubber grip
I repaired a hatchet i got 20 years ago based on one of your videos. Very happy with it.
I've owned this axe for 16 years. It was my only hatchet growing up as a kid for camping and fires. When I bought my home 3 years ago I obviously upgraded to other hatchets and axes. Unfortunately 2 years ago my buddy broke the handle on this thing but I put a fresh one on and the head still lives on!
I just picked one up today. I commented to the guy at checkout that I was glad they finally had a few on the shelf (I checked earlier this week and a few other places). He said, “ya a guy on KZhead just posted a video about it and they’ve been flying off the shelves”. To which I replied “yep that’s why I’m here”
As someone who works for HFT, this makes me happy.
@@DrMantisToboggan2005 How many did you buy? :)
Same story in central VA
Same
Haha thats hilarious
As a young hispanic male that grew up in the dangers of Chicago without a strong father figure in my life i really appreciate all the knowledge and wisdom you've shared with us throughout the years i personally have learned so much just watching your videos thank you
Essential Craftsman is another good one.
Glad you made it, my friend. That place is a warzone
That’s awesome man
Good for you brother!!! 👍👍👍
Knowing what you know about yourself it's important to recognize that you have it within yourself to become a leader and show others the way like Cody has. If you've never considered it you might think about the military, it gives you skills, family, and money. The military is full of young people who got dumped on by life starting out and have since joined and found each other and now share a brotherhood that lasts until they die. Just a thought. If you think Cody is putting you in good path, the military can take you further. Also, years ago Cody put out a video on advice for young people, if you haven't seen it you need to.
2 years later and were still learning from this guy! Gods work!
Man this is so awesome my grandfather was a logger and it's really nice to see somebody actually know how to take care of their tools
Just wanted to add a warning about those linseed oil rags: DO NOT crumple them up and throw away, oily rags can spontaneously combust. Many house fires start this way. I believe you can put them in a metal coffee can, fill with water, seal, and throw away. Or lay them out flat and let them “dry”.
Spontaneously combust?!? Is that just from being left in the sun or warm air?
It's true. Search for linseed oil spontaneous combustion and you'll find several videos on KZhead. I lost a job once cause my boss burned down the building this way.
@@VoidySan it’s from the fumes becoming concentrated in the air, in a small or enclosed space. It’s not spontaneous in the manner that you’re thinking, but those fumes will start to generate enough heat that even the smallest spark will set them off.
Linseed oil rags can spontaneously combust, not all oil, running the used rag in water so its wet, is enough to stop it.
Add hay to the spontaneous combustion list.. whats more weird is that hay is more likely to combust when it's wet.
This man is such a good teacher, he says things but then tells you the 'why' behind it. Perfect pace for his videos too, for me anyway... Busy world out there and it's nice to see a guy take his time.
I bought a small Collins axe and used your tips for sharpening and using the BLO. I put a stain on it as well and it looks amazing. Great for throwing too. Thank you!
I was thinking this little axe would make a great thrower !
My wife bought some old Chicago Cutlery wood handle knives at the thrift store. Those are now my woodworking knives. Scraping, smoothing, finishing. Thanks for the Axe craft.
I am impressed not only by the hatchet but by your knowledge. I am 78 years old and grew up on a large beef farm. We heated with wood until the early 60's. I cut more wood and kindling than I care to remember. Most people today go to a hardware store and buy an axe or a hatchet and that is it. You did an excellent job of getting a new hatchet into shape. I realize the time frame involved in your video, but I am sure you will put the final touches on the toe, bit and heel. The cheek could be narrower, but it is a hatchet and just used for splitting or small cutting. Also refinishing the handle is an excellent idea.
63k thumbs up, never mind the backwoods you’re gonna have to spend a week in the jungle with that thing😂
Still growing. Looks like its gonna be a fortnight!
A day after this comment and it's already at 76k
UpTo 76K now lol, he's gonna have to test this on the moon.
80k now
Hahaha
Years ago, I put myself thru college hanging sheet rock. The first think I learned was using stripper to take off the finish on drywall hammers. It only took minutes and is better than scraping I do enjoy these videos.
Right. The residue left by the original varnish after chemical stripping is actually a pretty decent finish.
I prefer scraping, less mess.
I bought one of these for my younger son and did all the fixes you did. I did thin & smooth the whole blade. It sharpens easily & really is a great tool. Great videos!
As someone who never had a father figure to teach me stuff like this growing up, your videos have taught me so much over the last couple years. In a way you've somewhat made me the man I am today. To that I say thank you.
Was thinking the same thing.
that made me happy
Jake that’s how much he cares he’s not even replied to you…
@@stephennixon4501 It's an 8 month old video. I wouldn't expect him to regardless lol
You're not alone. 🙂
Growing up in a single parent household. The life lesson’s I’ve learned from this channel are invaluable.
I second this.
I third this
I fourth this. He’s like the father figure that a lot of us never had
I ate this. lol 😂
Not even kidding. I wish I'd found this channel sooner. I don't remember much about my dad. I do know that my mom was right to leave. I know she did her best, however, there are a ton of things a boy needs to learn that moms just don't understand. I was bullied relentlessly as a kid and adolescent. My mom wondered why. You're bigger than those other boys. They should be scared of you. Well, I've done some thinking. It was because I was bigger than them, and because I wouldn't fight back. If I'd have thrown one good punch and took the punishment (from their friends and suspension from school for a day or two) I would've sent a message. I don't want to hurt you, but I will if you force me to. That last part never happened. It just never occurred to me. Outlast them, then the teachers would stop them and punish them. That's their job, right? Right...? Guess not. Luckily, military life and fatherhood brought it out somewhat. So, while I don't want to engage, I will now if forced. That was a hard lesson to learn on my own though. That and locking washers. That's a brilliant idea. How many of those did I just throw away... lol Wow, I thought I was gonna say something funny about throwing axes or something... kinda went another way. Sorry 'bout that.
I just bought one of these the other day. It’s wonderful to me and comfortable it’s great for a throwing axe once you get the hang of it
As a young man living in the PNW, I really appreciate the quality you put into these videos. Been watching for a long time and still haven’t seen a video I didn’t learn a valuable skill or lesson from. Not to mention the videos just make a man feel at home.
There's something mesmerizing about watching a tool get upgraded.
Hey Cody I am writing this to let you know that I pay attention to your videos. I am seventeen years old, and am going up to Minnesota in two days to spend the summer canoeing and in the waters of the great north woods. Your channel has given me so much inspiration to further pursue wilderness living skills, and to live cleanly in general. God bless you
I envy you, Nicholas, you have your whole life in front of you, make it count,
Bring mosquito repellent!
Good for you!! I'm 25 from Wisconsin. And I enjoy using man powered tools. Or anything vintage or antique for that matter. I don't find any relation to anyone in particular. People don't understand me. I tell people I do what feels right, money doesn't motivate me the motivate or reasons for doing something and it's purpose is my motivation. But I can't find anyone who relates but that don't cause me to change In order to have mutual friends or aquatence. Keep it how it should be my friend and don't feel pressure to "keep up with the times"
@@wranglerstar I promp0 999009m nmpi009ö
Good move treating that handle with Linseed. Filing that edge improves chopping and dicing but degrades its use splitting. It will be more inclined to pierce the wood and stick. For splitting, it's best for the wood to pop or explode from the strike and when it doesn't you don't want the head to stick or jam.
I have many axes. Excellent video showing how to transform any axe into a favorite useable axe. Great tutorial for my kids to learn from.
Its good to see classic design being brought back. Design isn't just about aesthetics, it's about effectiveness
Aesthetics only matter in deceptive stuff but in tools looks are always second to functionality
@@KSHAWK Functionality is its own aesthetic.
Watching Cody refinish axes were my favorite of his videos, I can really appreciate how he did this job with basic hand tools and a cheap axe.
I appreciate how your mind works, the way your presentations are organized and thought out is literally old fashioned education with purpose. Nicely done young buck😊
For some reason I have never thought about getting the varnish off the top of the axe handle. Thanks for that. Explains a lot actually.
I don’t think he wants likes I think he actually just wants an excuse to go out into the woods with an axe
Nope. He wants the likes. Getting a lot of likes increases the chances that the algorithm will show the video (and the channel) to new viewers on the home screen. More views and subscriptions means more money. This is his primary job.
@@---cr8nw But it's still a good excuse to camping!
Likes = $
A before and after would be nice... but we also know that doing that last step is the best thing for it.
@@ordinarypete Wranglerstar isn't a dummy. He knows that social media isn't a 30 year career. And it certainly doesn't offer health insurance or retirement benefits. He's stockpiling cash.

Cody you are the whole reason I got into Axes. Absolutely addicted to them now.
Same here lol
Same here
I agree 100% with you on this. I have a cheap all steal coleman hatchet I bough years ago. Last week went out and bought some hand files and reshaped the head on it so I can use it to split small pieces of wood for my smoker. Already thinking about my next purchase of a hatchet/tomahawk style piece for camping. I cherish these videos and stories deeply.
@@scottames2334 a tomahawk is a weapon not a tool. good for killing and thats about it.
When I worked for the USFS in the early 90’s my ax had a raw handle. I loved that tool. Great vid
Thank you WS for all that you do for us.
"There's only two things wrong with it" yeah the handle and the head lol
Considering you can spend 175 bucks on a plane that doesnt have a flat sole or a sharp blade, ill spend an hour or 2 to make a 12 dollar hatchet perform well.
@@fulsame1 If I'm going to spend the time flattening and sharpening a brand new plane, I'm going to buy a $30 plane, not a $175 one.
Isn't that what Timhouse commented?

I have that same vice. It was my grandfathers, then my dads. It was burnt in a house fire back in 2016 and I recovered it from the garage then restored it for my dad. My dad passed away last month and I just shipped the vice back home to me after the memorial. I love that bullet vice.
Sorry for your loss, hope he had a long and enjoyable life.
Those touch stones with our forebears hold a tremendous attachment, don't they. My sympathies on the loss of your dad, but what a wonderful memory you have for the future.
@@dougdobbs So well put Doug. Thanks.
I'm sorry for your loss. The sentimental value of the vice and the risk you took to recover it tells me alot about the respect and love you have for your father. I imagine he was a great man and a figure that many would've had the pleasure to look up to. Idk you but I'm here sincerely and thank you for sharing your memories of your father.
My tools don’t have as interesting a story but my grandpa was a carpenter and I inherited his entire garage full of tools, half of which are older than I am and some older than my parents even to the point I can’t find replacement parts for them so I just maintain the parts they have as much as I can
Great explanations, as always! You are an EXCELLENT teacher!
I have this exact hand axe. I took off the varnish and hit it with a little linseed oil and, you are right, this is a great tool. Very well made for the price. I sharpened it and it works very well.
Why was this recommended to me? 10/10 would watch again

I appreciate all of the good tips, keep them up and I’ll stay tuned 👍🏼👍🏼
I’ve been following you for a couple years I appreciate the last couple forest service videos you’ve put up there all awesome Hello from Terrebonne Oregon
The old tip for treating fresh wood with linseed oil: treat once a day for a week, then once a week for a month and then once a month for a year. Your tool handles will then last a lifetime with annual applications.
Axe mods are so fun to watch.
Every second for a minute, every minute for an hour, every hour for a day... But seriously though, good advice 😅
i scraped/ sanded a sporterized 03A3 stock and did that . It looks great . I'm up to the once a month stage now .
Same as caring for a good end grain cutting board, oiling with mineral oil.
I used boiled linseed oil on a small Wetterlings axe hickory handle, but so long ago that I cannot even recall when. Is it OK to use more now, and just go by feeling to judge absorbing?
Im just starting on getting my own tools and shop set up and I love watching your videos and hearing the wisdom you have to share, keep on going!
Thank you my friend for the many videos. Blessings and prayers to you and your family.
Great demonstration AND explanations. I appreciate that you explain the reasons behind your alterations rather than just making this $12 handaxe look like an expensive one. Thanks
This was good to watch, started getting back into axes so I'm glad to have a sort of refresher course. Now it's off to find my stone...
Are you building a boat?
@@christophersharp1884 Nope, just working on a nice old Collins Homestead I picked up
It’s already the futures expiration so there is no use in looking at patterns in my opinion - we will have to see how the CME traders react to last month's huge price fluctuations. Most important: will these close their positions (long or short) or will they extend their contract to next month. Also, and youre the market maker guys: 57K is the point of must hurt for both shorts and longs. So BTC will stay there till expiration; then either a pump or a dump but given they need to sell more futures and want to extend the bull run for as long as possible; they should pump over the weekend. Yes thats fake land but ideal for the market maker to push BTC potentially above 60K already this weekend in order to create an higher entry on Monday when CME opens again. For the bearish scenario; exactly the opposite. Just saying: there is a reason for BTC to be where it is right now. I have had good and bad times in the crypto world.

By the way I know this video is 2 years old. The un helmet video made you my favorite
Harbor freight will surprise even the toughest of skeptics once in a while
I bought a reciprocating saw there for approx $25 about 10 years ago - that darn thing is still working perfectly. I use it for an hour or so every couple of months. If it had only lasted a couple years I would have been happy with it.
Try that 3500w inverter generator. It's actually great.
Bought a damn lawn mower engine from them to put in a go kart. 10 years later it’s still kicking
They got good stuff if you do your homework. Most people who bash Harbor Freight are usually brand name snobs that follow every other Dewalt Lemming.
Im very much a harbor freight fan
Amazing to see so many people saying they look to you like a father figure. You should be so proud that so many care for your lessons and obviously think you are a man to model them selves after. And I agree wholeheartedly. Thank you for all the content and hard work. Keep me and my family in your prayers and I will keep you and your in mine. Thanks again.

Coming across this channel was one of the best things to happen this year. Haven’t found a video here I didn’t enjoy, and i really do learn a lot 🙌
Welcome to the party!!
Thank you Harry, Mrs W and I are very happy to have you here,
Cody-I discovered your channel 8 years ago I think. All because I searched “shovel handle replacement” on KZhead.
Thank you for doing this the "old fashioned way" for us -cheap- classic folks.
Excellent video. I'm an outdoor enthusiast and spend as much time as possible there. I attempt to invest in quality gear only but seek value also. Your video demonstrates that you can spend $15 and a little time and match (almost) the performance of a similar product costing $150. Thanks for the video, looking forward to viewing more. Prayers for you and your family.
Very informative,I did not know about scraping the varnish off of a new tool handle.I’m going to do that on my next tool purchase.Thanks
I’ve lived in the PNW for 26 years now. Had many tools rust over in the shed and my truck. Never heard of Ballistol. Thanks for the tip!
Works pretty well. Fluid film too.
Been using it on collectible firearms for YEARS. It has an odor some people find offensive and I don’t understand it. It’s a very mild odor. And I don’t find it offensive at all.

I wish they would stop using paper labels on everything because you can’t get them off without spending as much time as you spent going to get the tool
I bought a fish spatula from a well know kitchen retailer. They put a super sticky price label right on the metal. I couldn't get it off so I got a refund. They agreed it was unusable. And who wants to use a spatula that had lot of solvents applied?
If Im ever emperor, putting shitty paper labels on things will be instant execution.
Just heat the paper sticker with a heat gun and peel off
Lol especially stickers on non stick pans
A bit of wd40 or remoil will brake down the adhesive if your old lady wont lend you her hair drier.
Loved the instruction on sharpening the Harbor Freight axe.
I bought a 50 dollar fan from Harbor Freight a week or so ago and it's the best fan I've ever fan't.

Thank the algorithm! I've been binge watching your channel for days now. A godsend for a new homeowner.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge
Love your videos! Im an axe lover, that originated from going along with my grandfather when I was a young boy to the forest to cut firewood. He always took the time out to explain how to use an ax and a hatchet and how to care for them. It’s stuck with me to this day.
I like a series on how to make cheap harbor freight tools actually worth having!
Same
I have done that with a couple of Ryobi workshop tools here were I live in South Africa. They are cheap entry level and kinda nasty but with a bit of engineering savvy I end up saving more than the next level up!
If RON SWANSON had a channel this with be it.
Will This is the only one 🤪
@@copcuffs9973 I’ll argue its still absolutely worth it for a lot of people. I think many would rather spend hell, even 4 hours on something rather than pay maybe $20-30 more, no joke. This probably would only take an hour at most, 30 minutes if you don’t re grind the blade.
I enjoyed your comments about the Harbor Freight axe. Here is another great axe which I bought at Tractor Supply. Great hickory handle . The profile of the axe head is excellent. The edge angle is obtuse and dull. But I quickly fixed that. I think the price was around $25. A great bargain. The brand name of the axe is Groundwork.
This looks so do-able. Thank you. I would love to see you using this.
I've got 2 of them and have gifted quite a few, glad to see I wasn't wrong in gifting my friends and family a cheap axe. Many think because it's cheap and from harbor, it's junk. They probably thought so themselves but, that's on them.
80k likes you have to go back and find wilson the volleyball using only this axe
yess haha
Underrated
you wouldnt have a match by any chance would you?
You need to team up with Harbor Freight and make a Wranglerstar edition axe that meets all those criteria. I’d buy one and I’m sure many of us would.
Good stuff! Great tips on prepping the handle
I love your tool reviews! Amazing content as always.
Took me a couple Harbor Freights to find one of these in stock! Looks like others have watched your video. Just got mine and have started the improvements but I’m still taking it camping tonight!
As many have said and I’ll reiterate, thank you for all the content and as well I grew up without a dad and have had to learn everything I know from trial and error and watching your channel. I have learned sooo much, you and and your family are always in my prayers!!! Keep up the incredible work!!👍
Can't wait to get one of these and mod it like this. Very good video. Thanks
I have good axes and hatchets but never really knew how to take care of them till stumbling o to your videos. Thanks looking forward to the field trial.
A lot of love for Harbor Freight recently. D'you think an agent turned up on Cody's doorstep with a suitcase full of untraceable bottles of Loctite?
I think you mean HFT Threadlocker, No. 42
You know, Its a place where even the person with a small budget can get some decent tools. Not all are good, but kudos to Cody for showing us the good ones.
I'm purchasing my first axe but didn't know what was "quality" or what to look for. I'm so blessed to have found your channel. The time,patience, & pride you show in everything you do is a reflection of God's good nature in you. God bless you & your family WRANGLERSTAR

I did similarly with the fireman’s axe at harbor freight. I cut off the rear spike and dressed the pole. I am always inspired by you ! Thanks!
You have tremendous videos. I love the depth of knowledge and your passion
We appreciate your knowledge and craftsmanship.
my grandpa had his "winter" axe's standing in some type of oil never realised that wood dries from the ends, that explains a lot (the axe's he have are really old, think they were from his grandpa or grand grandpa, never been allowed to touch them)
tell me more
That’s awesome to hear !!! I stil have my grandpas axe and pitchfork from the 40’s
That thing must be from the 1800s I believe.

Love your work my Goodman!
Bought one of these a few months ago, been meaning to scrape it, knew it needed a scrape and edge work when I bought it, but been too busy to stop and tune it up. I use a machinist scraper so I don't kill the edge on a good knife. I use the belt sander to adjust the edge, then a few file strokes to smooth off the ragged edge as it won't hold up. Tung oil is my goto if I use anything, which I don't. I use whatever I spray the bare metal with on the handle, never been able to justify pricey spray oils, Ballistol is fine for fine shotguns, but I like PB Blaster etc for outdoor tools. I've been using it mostly for knocking off small limbs to feed the chipper. Great tool, HF has hit their stride on most stuff. Good video on axe/hatchet tune up.
