@SM_zzz2 жыл бұрын
Nicely done. The man knows how to properly seat a tool handle. I really liked his choice of wood for this. Uniform strong grain and the runout on the tail end just makes it prettier not weaker. Only thing missing is oiling the wedge slot after seating the handle with a few drops of linseed oil. It helps to swell the grain just before driving the wedge home. It won’t dry out and will maintain the handles pressure against the walls of the eye.

Having all that grain "run off" is absolutely the worse way to make a handle for an axe, hatchet, hammer, etc. A lot of folks may think it makes for an attractive look, & while it may do so for some wood projects, it's the worst thing to have in an axe, hammer, etc. handle. If its put through serious, repetitive use, that handle will eventually split along that "run off" grain. Its just a matter of when its going to split & what the dangers going to be when it does.

If I may give you a tip as a carpenter/knifemaker, lineseed-oil is great, but it makes wood harder but less flexible what is not so good for handles, use tungoil or danish oil instead, makes the grain of the wood come out nicely and keeps the wood strong but flexible!

I was looking for making an axe handle without power tools but I still have a thumbs up. Why are there 20 thumbs down?
Who knows. Maybe they don't like the music. I will make another axe handle in the near future using mostly hand tools
French River Springs thanks for the reply.
To Rusty To Real
Ludicrously dramatic music 😂
The handle is too curvy. Major of grains should go straight from axe to end of handle. Otherwise exelent job.
donbovie nothing should go this or that way nothing
Fuckin hell, how many tools can you use to make an axe handle!
👍🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷
Handle look like sexy girl but the axe handle won't last. The handle should come with cross fibre wood
Twirl. Dear Twitter... Y'$ it called.... A handle?
Wood. Out. Our business is now concluded. Time.
Men. Get ready.
And for the record that would BE firewood before it would make firewood bra
If I were u, I would restore that handle instead.
