  • 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.

  • Amazing wood working and fine attention to detail! I also noticed no metal wedges which I hear is the more proper and safer way for the axe to be wedged. Love seeing the carpenter planes, angle grinder and orbital sander put to work and sweet shipping container!!!

  • Great Handle, nice Video! Hint: at 2:00: place the handle between 2 wooden blocks into the vice. That prevents the handle surface from " bites or scratches of the vice jaws and (even more important) it prevents also the cutting edge of the drawknife from hitting the jaws. I'll soon have a similar project and this Video will certainly help me. So thanks!

I polished up a small hatchet head by hand and fitted a cheap store bought handle. Not much but I still appreciate my efforts so lm guessing you do with this axe. I have a splitting maul head with a broken glass fibre handle. Any chance you might be doing one of them?

  • 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.

  • Verry nice job and wonderful restored axe! 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! Kind regards from the Belgian Ardennes, Yves.
