You're not long winded, you are thorough and it's appreciated!
I like when a craftsman explains what he's doing and why. It becomes a teaching video as well as a demonstration. Well done Sir
Hey Brother...you are a great teacher. I have learned very useful, very helpful information. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I don't know who may complain about the length of your videos, but they🖤 are simply wrong. You have no need to apologize about anything. You are to be admired for your skills and abilities and your generosity in teaching us. 👏👏👏
BY FAR the most informative restoration/build video I've seen. Thanks for the GREAT information! You sir are a true craftsman.
Man....what a truly helpful and insightful video. Same goes for you sharpening video;) keep the good videos coming!
You are someone who actually wants to pass on knowledge, thank you so much!
Properly restore? No. I witnessed a text-book, golden standard restoration of that ax into a piece of art. You are a man of many skills and talents and I am glad i found your channel.
Fantastic learning video. Your explanations are exactly the same as my Dad's when he taught me how to make a handle and hang an axe 50 years ago. Really enjoyed it.
Everything I know I learned looking over someone's shoulder. Thanks for taking the time to try and teach us some basic skills. Beautiful Job I enjoy what your doing thanks
Great job. I would pay 100 bucks for that craftsmanship. That handle is beautiful
I’m laughing over here, because I think I just found the man that is my equal: a SURGEON with a grinder 😂 Most days the boss calls me up and says “Hey Bud, can you fire up the Russian Lathe (my angle grinder) and do X for me?” Anyway, from a fellow American, Ax aficionado & restoration guy, GREAT video, Exceptional work and I’m glad I found you channel. Sub’d.
I know this was a couple of years ago but, great save and restoration very well executed indeed. Razor sharp too. I guess it has served you very well over the last couple of years ? Unless of course you sold it for maybe a small profit ?? Lovely bit of work from someone who knows his tools and trade/ passion. A pleasure to watch and learn. Thanks Les.
I have seen a fair number of hatchet heads that looked as bad as this one did before you restored it.(Some farmers I knew did not treat their tools very well. Most of them, actually.) The thought of abusing a hatchet in such a way makes my teeth hurt -- as does the gall it takes to ask for $35.00 for such a damaged tool. Nevertheless, I appreciate why you purchased it for this video. It became a very good "teaching tool". This is excellent restoration and redesign work. You now have a nice "Viking" hatchet 😎, not to mention that the handle alone is a thing of beauty. As always, it is a great pleasure simply to watch you use your tools and to hear you teach about them -- interesting, informative, and impressive. Thank you for this video. P.S. As I watched you set the wedge in the hatchet head, I was reminded of what my uncle told me: "Tap in the wedge until it starts to talk back. Then you're done." Good advice.
Thoroughly enjoyed with a morning pipe full of Peterson Old Dublin and a few cups of coffee. Have a great day
Great video. Since you love the spoke shave so much, we'd love to see a video on them and how to maintain them. Advice on brands as well as styles would be awesome.
OK I’ll give you 38 bucks for the axe. ;) Great video presentation . Nice job on the final product 🐻👍. Thank you very much.
Going to order a spike shave as soon as I can afford one 😂looks awesome
Just watched about 10 axe restoration videos, and this is the best. I appreciate your methods & explanations.
good presentation, you would be excellent giving seminars
I truly appreciate the detail you put into explaining the physics behind every shape. It's great to fully understand the time-tested design of such a historic tool. Again, thanks for sharing all of this with us!
I would have never considered reprofiling the entire bottom of the axe to make it look more appealing. You all are awesome!
May look nicer but reshaping takes the weight out of the tool .
@@clivesweeting4410yeah but he took a chunk off the poll. So reprofiling should help with the balance.
All I'm going to say too you amazing. So glad see you back .
You do a great job , I thank you for sharing these skills that would be lost if not for people like you .
That beard is so majestic
You did this old axe justice.......great job
I have about 5 axe heads outside I’ve wanted to hang. Have waited about 1 year because wasn’t exactly sure how to lay them out. This was so incredibly helpful and simply stated. Really nice video! Will be trying this out tomorrow.
And I always thought putting a new handle in and grinding the rough edges off and putting a fair edge on was good enough. I'm 69 and I learn something every day. Thanks for the video 👍 excellent as usual 😁
Amazing job, great tips keep up the work brother
OUTSTANDING PROJECT!! Very thorough in detail, kept it interesting and educational! KUDOS to Camera Operator as well!! Perfect visuals! You have a new FAN here now!!
Thank you. We learned a lot. Great videographer too! Ron and Sandy
I've Bought Old wooden Handled Tools & Restored Them By Sanding Them Down & Puttind Shelack On Them. & They Looked Like Brandnew.
Excellent Job Learned a lot I recently accursed 3 ax’s in roughy shape that were given to me. The gentleman was going to throw them in the trash. He gave them to me. So I am in the process of restoring them to there former glory
Best video that I Saw this week.
A little trick I use to fit the head is to use a pencil to color the inside of the hole. The color will transfer to the wood and allow you to see exactly where you need to remove material. Great video!
Bought an old rusty axe head for $2 the other day I want to restore it toghether with my son and bond with him.❤ Exceptional good tips and tricks we can use once we start our project. 😊
Awsome video sir ,I really learned alot f try om watching you today,thanks so much
That's the best looking hand carved handle I have ever seen. Nice work.
great video. well detailed and explained ! you have great skills.
Really enjoyed watching your video, going to use your tips and replace the store bought handle for my refurbished Hudson Bay axe
I could definitely hear the wedge bottoming out. You inspired me to go outside and make an axe handle today also.
Beautiful handwork.Unique piece.Thank you.
Thanks for sharing the knowledge you have with us on the videos…! I always look forward to seeing y’all’s new ones coming out..!!
You knocked it out of the park with this video! I just picked up an old axe head yesterday and though I have hung many, I’m sure glad I ran across this very well done video for inspiration.
Gorgi Armen Excellent presentation, I enjoy what your doing thanks, by the way I am Wooden shoe last maker.
Absolute pure unadulterated craftsmanship & workmanship 👏👏👏👌👍 from across the pond 🇬🇧👍
👍❤️
Man what you taught in this one video with all those vital points should be taught in university at least as two major courses. You made my day. Thanks a million 🪓
Such a useful information, thank you!
I know very little I do know I love wood ha my point is your shared knowledge and pointers are awesome appreciate you sharing
Can’t wait to giving it a try for myself. Thanks.
Amazing talent. You turned something most people would toss out into a really useful item that looks great. The temper is something that I struggle with understanding. You said that you consistently cooled it in between cutting. Can you tell me just how often you quenched it as it was cut to shape?. Excellent video. I really enjoyed it.thamks
I have gotten some good stuff on ebay, but I was laughing when you were talking about how much you paid and how much a guy thought that piece of junk was worth. But you proved the mind is the best tool and you turned that piece of junk into a masterpiece of art and function...bravo and kudos, Maestro! 👏
Outstanding videos thank you for posting.
Great job . turned out beautiful.
Your skill and educational quality is excellent. Thank you for a professional and knowledgable presentation.
Thank you, you have answered so many questions I have had in the past. I will probably watch this multiple times just to get everything I can from it.
I bet that feels great in the hand !!
Great video on the restoration of the axe head. New design and the way that your refurbished it outstanding me and my son enjoyed watching his video together. He was very impressed on how you did the handle we have a couple of honing broad axes that we need to rehandle so now he's all into making his own handle
You answered my temper question as I was opening the comments to ask about temper, with that grinder. I've done my share of pocket knives, that way.
This is by far the best video explaining everything! Add one of your sharpening videos (I’m assuming you do have a few, as I’m new to the channel) and it’s perfect! I am fairly new to ace handling, making and woodworking in general. As an electrician I would like to think I’m genuinely handy LOL, and watching videos like yours, you really encourage great craftsmanship, even on a budget! Overtime, you acquire the tools you will need to do all this. Antique shops and yard sales along with FB and Offerup are excellent ways to get a lot of items (trust me, the older is usually better as the quality is the reason they lasted so long!) thanks for the inspiration (even if I’m late to the party) LOL
That was pretty awesome, that handle was great
A beautiful axe handle! Some of the tips you stated would have helped me when I made my first handle, next one will be much smoother work. Thank you so much 🙏
Excellent video from beginning to end! I already carved two axe handles, but I learned so much new tips from you. Thank you!
Glad I stumbled across this video. A friend gave me a double bladed ax head, and another ax head very similar to what you purchased. I need to make and put handles on them. thank syou for the video.
Nice work. I look forward to all your new videos, please keep on sharing your journey.
Turned out fantastic! Nice work!
JUST Found , L & S'ed . THANKS - excellent presentation , ESPECIALLY the narration . Understanding the thought process as you progress thru the restoration is CRUCIAL for our understanding of that process . So MANY avoid offering up their insights as they go , and if we're gonna benefit from the real experience behind the process , we have to know what the thinking is , at each step . THANKS for the narration , and THANKS for the excellent presentation ! All the BEST from Texas ! - - Chuck .
Other than that that I mentioned before, wonderful job. Excellent looking work. Two thumbs up for sure.
Absolutely love the content!! Very useful and also love the mix of art and technical. I don't usually like the technical so much because I like to focus on the art ... however they're very much both a part of making and restoring tools...
I just came across your channel by accident and I so glad I did. Yes it was worth the 35.00 you paid for it.....that is because your minds eye went to work and you could see the potential! I loved your video from start to finish my brother! You have found another loyal subscriber!
Content is right up my alley! THANK YOU! GREAT INFORMATION! SUBBED! Greetings from the PNW 🇺🇸 🌲🪓🌲🪓🌲🪓🌲🪓
Absolutely beautiful!!!! Well done!!!
Awesome video! Love your explanations.
Very informative, thank you for sharing your knowledge.
This was a great video and although I hang a few I learned how to fine tune my process Thank you for the time you spent on this
You are a true craftsman. Thanks for the video
That was fantastic, subscribed!
I'm 26 and have been using estoring axes since I was a small boy and this is the best tutorial I have ever seen. Really Glad I found you're channel.
The recrested axe is absolutely and impressive, awesome!
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing!!!
That is a piece of art!
Beautiful...thanks so much.
Thanks for the detailed information! I made an axe handle half a year ago from hazel, but it looks kind of boring as you see no woodgrain. But I will certainly make up for the linseed treatment of the head part of the handle. Thanks again for all the tips and tricks.
Great job on the video
Absolutely awesome tutorial. Really appreciated your teaching. Thank you very much!!!
Your a very talented craftsman. Enjoyed an Learned thanks
Really enjoyed this video! Thank you and God bless.
Thank you, Master. Love your apron, BTW.
You might want to visit some yard sales and flee markets. I usually see broken hammers and axes for a few dollars. That said, thanks for all your knowledge of restoring such an axe. It may inspire me to start repairing some of the numerous dead hammers I've collected over the years.
Thanks for the teaching. Well spoken and illustrated with application. Thank you sir.
this guys ridiculously good! Thanks man!
Solid handcraft, no point in hurrying it up unnecessarily
awesome lots of very useful information. love your videos. always looking for the next one. many blessings smiles to you and your partner. Buen Camino Asta Luego
Great video. I restored an old shingle axe. Bought the handle but did the fitting just like you showed. Only problem was I didn’t tape the blade, 4 stitches later I got Er done😂
Very extensive and helpful, thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Excellent video. Learned something new. Thanks for sharing.
Outstanding work and presentation.
I really enjoyed that! Was thorough and well explained at every step. I'm restoring an old rusty hatchet as my first restoration project, but with less tools... and this was full of great advice. Definitely worth a sub!
great job on the axe
Beautiful my friend!!
Great video mister! A wealth of knowledge is gained by watching this one. I'm getting ready to restore a right and a left bevel pair of broad axes that came from my great great grandfather, I will definatly credit you in my upcoming video. Nice work I subscribed
