Axe Project Finished

[@GranTorino49]

Good job....you put a lot more life into that old rusty ax head.

[@bartjuhbeekmans]

Man the environment in which you dwell looks so nice. Lush green grass with beech forest all around, blue sky, no noises of cars of anything...

[@SurvivalRussia]

It's wild country but I do have car/truck noise, and of course the Trans Siberian Railroad. I have the road 3-400 meters from home. However it is just a road cutting through the forests and forest fields :) Great place to live.

[@whiskeypapa8842]

The sound of that Trans Siberian Railroad would be like music.

[@bigbone88]

Survival Russia the girls are hot as hell.

[@RM-io7qo]

Congratulations on finishing your Axe. I love the way it just slices through those saplings as if they were grass cuttings. Take care...

[@esquiredalegunn]

Great works Lars. Really nice!!

[@radekandel6497]

Great job, the handle is awesome...

[@MBroam]

Thanks for showing us this series, it turned out pretty nice!

[@leroyjarvis5617]

Totally awesome!

[@seandwyer2020]

I have never seen an axe hung this way, but it looks like this method works just fine. We sometimes think there is only one way to do something, not relizing all of the possible solutions to a problem. Thank you Lars, your tutorials are very good.

[@ronbutler6526]

Good job on the axe, I hope your father in law likes it and uses it for a long time, good handle there mate!

[@nicksfix8609]

Nice work, very useful and certainly rewarding to know you did it all yourself.

[@George1mac]

Here in Tennessee, I remember my dad used to fashion his ax handles in much the same way as the process you just did. He used hickory instead of birch due to the availability and they were Awesome!!......his wedge cuts were made much the same way.......just now working my way through your videos and have really enjoyed the time spent

[@Baneironhand]

As a student of survival gardening I would be interested in a video about your garden and any crops you plant on your land. what tools you garden with etc. Plus I really need to know if you plant potatoes with some form of silky saw. :)

[@fastfind77]

I love your channel. I think I've watched every video. In a few videos you mention how you love living in Russia and how Russia is better than most people think. Have you done any videos on what you love about Russia and what most people get wrong about Russia? I know I'd be very interested in a video about that subject. Thanks for all your videos!

[@SurvivalRussia]

I will do that on another channel I plan to open :) Maybe I will do a little of that here as well.

[@dula4552]

Look forward to it Lars!

[@Antipodean33]

Mathew Garriga, my father gave me some advice about how to get on through life when I was 16 years old, he said "son, there's 3 things you should never ask another man, how much he earns, what's his politics and what's his religion"

[@fastfind77]

Antipodean33 I do not agree with your fathers advice. 😎

[@andrewburgess633]

Essential advice these days!

[@fredthorne9692]

Considering the fact that it has been buried deep in Mother Russia for who knows how long, you have done a miracle in resurrecting a piece of history. The very slight angle of the head will be beneficial when used with the left hand since it will enable the artisan to plane smooth large areas of material with dead-on accuracy. With a Tatara whetstone you should be able to shave a sleeping bear's rear end without waking him up. Think of all the Kuksas your father-in-law can make. I love the solid "tang" it makes. Finally, the handle is truly that of an artisan...the Leonardo of the Taiga.

[@garland978]

Excellent job Lars. Nice and bold with a great ring to the chopping.

[@BitBurgers]

Beautiful. Thank you. Looks very nice and handy, indeed. Looking forward to the taiga-axe as well as to your findings on the epoxy-infused gauze.

[@bob2sticks]

......high hold, we call choking up on the axe in American , great videos Lars.....

[@Zhuurgen]

Axellent!

[@gregpenny4384]

You did a great job on it!

[@redcanoe14]

Nice job with that axe Lars. When I rebuild old axes I notice that I modify and re-work aspects of them as I begin to use them. Eventually they begin to feel more comfortable and cut better and better. I love this stuff. All the Best from BC Canada.

[@KowboyUSA]

Handy little axe.

[@Sasquatch-Press]

You did a super job on that axe Lars. 👍

[@Momentaryghost]

Makes me wanna start building some handles for all my axe and pick heads I've collected over the years

[@fumasterchu12]

That axe looks great, and sure seems to work well too. I like the different grips you put into the handle, makes multi-functional and awesome. Have a nice day my friend.

[@geepcj2a]

It sings well!

[@SurvivalRussia]

Yes indeed :)

[@Toad_Hugger]

geepcj2a Aye, it has a nice ringing noise! Nice CJ!

[@MrJRW1]

Congratulations on completing your axe project. I enjoyed watching. I especially liked the 5 wedge system that you used to secure the axe head to the handle. I would be willing to bet that the axe handle would be more likely to break, than for the head to come off. It looks like an extremely secure way of doing it. Great job!

[@lesliepaulkovacs6442]

Why do I have the feeling that in Valhalla, thousands of Viking Warriors paused in their drinking, looked down upon you testing the Ax and Smiled like they were Sacking England? Your Ancestors must be shouting "AWESOME!" in Danish! Keep this up, people may be shipping their Axes to you for that "Lars Touch." Make sure you charge them a lot! Take Care, my Friend. : )

[@hermetickitten]

It looks absolutely amazing, you are so skillful! And the surroundings are quite stunning as well. Greetings from Italy : )

[@SurvivalRussia]

Thank you very much H K :)

[@Rick1dat]

Great job making the axe handle.

[@VE3FAL1Fred]

Lars awesome job on the restoration and on the handle. Cheers Fred

[@SurvivalRussia]

Thank you my friend :)

[@whitecompany18]

Does what it says on the tin , great job sir.

[@SurvivalRussia]

Thank you! :)

[@mushercdn]

That axe rings like the conseirge bell of the Hilton!

[@TheDeathOfPassion]

for me, here in canada. it's the opposite... mornings are sunny and evenings rain and storms until nightfall.. nice axe

[@barefoofDr]

That is some good steel in that axe to give such a nice ring.

[@MartyBecker]

Enjoyed the series. Nice work!

[@SurvivalRussia]

Thank you!

[@cdl0]

Looks like awesome camera work by Mrs SR!

[@123karlw]

Works good. Looks good. Nice and sharp

[@georgehigdon4974]

Nice job! Lars... Very impressive!

[@MOOSEDOWNUNDER]

If you told someone that you dug that axe up they would call bullshit, lol. We have the proof, start to finish. Great job mate, i am sure it goes strong for many years and will hang on the Pink Trolls cabin wall long after you are gone brother. Great job. Cheers Moose.

[@REAPERMILITIAOUTDOORS]

Looks like it turned out great awesome

[@SurvivalRussia]

Let's see how it goes :)

[@tomdrooff3343]

Great job on the axe Lars. I have an old small axe head that I would like to put a new handle on. The head is flat on the on the one side with a single bevel edge no the other side. I believe its for flattening wood surfaces. I will try and send you pictures of it. Your advice would as always be appreciated. Happy Canada day as well. We are 150 years old today. Cheers

[@gordonmiller4439]

Nice job with the ax, Lars!

[@DeirdreYoung1]

The axe looks beautiful.. and it rings like a musical instrument! I could hear the "ding, ding" when you were cutting the long piece of birch you brought back. Super entertaining, thank you very much for showing us all this. Oh, and I started eating roasted buckwheat thanks to you ;)

[@SurvivalRussia]

Thank you very much :) Buckwheat is a real super-food. Awesome :)

[@quintond.7888]

Awesome work, sir. I'm pretty anxious to see the revised hunter too. You Scandi guys definitely know your axes--will be interesting to see how changes in the taiga pattern will improve it.

[@kris4362]

Lars ....... Awesome, well done

[@flunder203]

thats a nice fly swatter you made....i cant get over the bugs in your footage

[@williamkennison8920]

Lars, my friend that turned out very well. It looks like the pink trolls will be using papas ax through her life.

[@pauln2661]

That off center eye may be on purpose.... It is for hewing (making flat) logs. For example, the tops and bottoms of logs for a cabin. This usually comes with an off set handle so you don't bash your knukles against the log too.

[@SurvivalRussia]

That could very well be Paul.

[@superclaymaster]

Hard to beat the ring of high carbon steel. I'm sure your father in law will love it.

[@boydstone7433]

Good job. that axe has good steel in it. Listen to it ring. Thats a sign of good steel.

[@alpha6dog]

I really really like the singing it does....nice. Looks comfortable....

[@Tnav02]

Thanks Lars great job!

[@petersimmons3978]

"Nice job Lars, well put together vlog, very informative, well done👍🇬🇧

[@SurvivalRussia]

Thank you very much Peter :)

[@petersimmons3978]

You are very welcome Lars,always look forward to the notification bell telling me that you have put up your latest vlog,regards to you and your family 👍🇬🇧

[@Antipodean33]

My small axe is also slightly off centre, although it's smaller than yours and is only used for splitting small pieces of wood/timber to start fires

[@ellisholcomb2299]

thanks looks great should serve you well for years to come nice job wish you all the very best my friend

[@neanderthaloutdoors9202]

Yep that does the job well and it's got a nice ring to it 👌🏻

[@shipwrecked2006]

they make lawnmowers now Lars

[@SurvivalRussia]

I have heard about those :)

[@Willzywhale]

На счёт заточки топоров уже вроде определились лет 500 назад :) , что максимум 25 градусов. И самое главное засунуть голову оператора поближе к топору :)

[@kamiskenaw4340]

Awesome axe! Good for a first try with wedges eh?

[@RagdollRalph]

Just bought a backpack from varusteleka, a german mountain backpack, cant wait :)

[@SurvivalRussia]

Not a bad choice :)

[@LpMcQuack]

complete! Awesome job Lars you are the man

[@tomritter493]

nice job Lars was wondering how it came out looks good chops good nice!!! stay safe brother

[@SurvivalRussia]

Thank you very much buddy!

[@joesneon]

An axe to be proud of buddy!!!!

[@ericcorse]

well done Lars it turned out well. Birch sounds like it is a fairly hard wood.

[@SurvivalRussia]

Contrary to popular belief, it actually is. It has to be dry though. You can say it is not super hard but very strong.

[@ericcorse]

It does sound very solid

[@michaeljones5395]

Great job! I am sure he will love it!

[@stevetaylor2445]

Hope all is well at your home Lars,but starting to have withdrawal symptoms without your 3 video's a week!

[@SurvivalRussia]

I will put up a video later today. It will include an explanation to the low activity on the channel. I should be back at it again soon :)

[@stevetaylor2445]

Thankyou very much- Certificate of Qualification exam for you?

[@jcarry5214]

I bet that thing works really well on evergreens and frozen wood.

[@chaosvolt]

Looks like rather nice work on it, yeah.

[@ratagris21]

Great video and excellent results.

[@jeffreyvanderhorst223]

looks like it turned out good

[@iametoh]

Splendid work Lars, I like it a lot ^^

[@andrewvuktilaj934]

Great video and the axe must have good steel hear how it rings when you chop

[@logicaredux5205]

It looks like a great job! 👍🏻Just watch out for the potatoes fer christsakes!!

[@christopherellis2663]

all good!

[@couchcamperTM]

nice sound :D

[@SurvivalRussia]

I agree :)

[@shipwrecked2006]

i like the short handle Lars lot easier to manage

[@garden2tableproduce]

Good job it will never come off

[@throatnotchingtroutzzz6789]

Really nice axe you made there. If you open an other channel about life in Russia remember to tell it on this channel very clearly. so us that really like your channel do not miss it ( I am sure you will :o) )

[@mikeboone4425]

Now the ninja has a new hand me down from dad cool . I do really like the fat handle that is how they should be . Happy Trails

[@ozz5350]

You remind me of my people here in the USA THANKS FOR VIDEO GOD Bless you and you're family.

[@Shooter11B]

Lars, I did notice a bit of glancing off the wood, so maybe a little more edge work is needed. I would try decreasing the angle of the convex grind or pulling the shoulders back a centimeter or so to thin out the edge some more. What do you think?

[@ForeignMRE]

Great video. Glad I found your channel.

[@SurvivalRussia]

Thanks! I'm glad you like it :)

[@88magnum]

Awesome !! Nice "choppa"

[@draigygoch]

Nice axe, i'd buy one

[@redsorgum]

let me use some old school lingo, "groovy man, that's a righteous axe".......

[@SurvivalRussia]

Now that's old school! :)

[@survivaldeutschland]

turnt out pretty awesome`! :)

[@SurvivalRussia]

Thank you Stefan :)

[@ronaldmccarty9771]

Very Nice Lars!

[@SurvivalRussia]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@glennsandberg4338]

The russian nature must be of top quality meaning untouched by man or changed/destroyed. Life goals!

[@UK-Blue]

Ace!🐶

[@bloodyeyeful]

It's a beauty!

[@tombob671]

great channel , your English is excellent , I wish I spoke Russian as well

[@pamwhiteeagle9818]

THERE IS ABSOULUTLY NO FAILURE IN TRYING. YOU REMIND MY FAMILY OF OUR UNCLE VICTOR. ALL OUR LIVES WE HAVE CALLED ON HIM BECAUSE WE THINK HE KNOWS EVERYTHING OR CAN FIGURE IT OUT. SMILE

[@samisalminen1458]

nice!

[@SurvivalRussia]

Thank you Sami!

[@lifeseeker9563]

thats one sweet axe i like it

[@chrisburley7242]

Was great to see the finished product! Question. What is the knife on your hip?

[@SurvivalRussia]

Thanks :) It's a knife a friend in the US made from a file.

[@c1nd3r99]

You are amazing. If you could, van you make a cool video about anything. If so, that would ve awesome.

[@biggerlicious]

I've been wondering, how do you upload these? I have a country house about a hundred km away from Moscow, and I can barely get 3-4 mbps there, with constant disconnects. p.s. love your videos!

[@SurvivalRussia]

I have an antenna on the roof which can reach some mobile phone towers 3km away, so I can upload at about 5Mb/sec. You should be able to get one as well. They work fine with up to 10-15 meters of antenna cable. Thank you very much! :)

[@SLFYSH]

The real test will be in the durability and longevity of the axe handle.👍🏽

[@SurvivalRussia]

Indeed :)

[@botbombe9865]

Awesome Video :D

[@notsoserious0944]

Was there a hole in the side that was welded closed? It sure looks like it.

[@SurvivalRussia]

No it's just a stamp :)
