Council Tool Axe Demo at Piragis Northwoods Company

[@568843daw]

Excellent presentation. Clear, concise, comprehensive. The Council Tool Company makes the very finest forestry tools. I own multiple tools which were made by them and I love them all.

[@johnn2701]

For sure, Jackwagons, make sure you get yourselves something to eat in the middle of Craig’s expert presentation. Classy!

[@buxbaumr]

Good stuff. But who thought it was a good idea to set up the buffet table behind the speaker?

[@WoodsmanHobo777]

Rooster is very knowledgeable about axes. He's done a great job designing and working with Council Tool and CT is probably the best production axe manufacturer in the US because of him.

[@sunnybeach4837]

These are the all American companies that I stand behind. If you're going to spend your money on something. Buy an American product that all materials are sourced in America 🇺🇸 help those hard working families out!

[@Hill_Billy_Without_A_Hill]

Pretty informative, nice to have USA made, and a company that takes pride in keeping it USA made.

I LOVE my Council Tool Pack Axe! Ton of great information in this video!

[@kerryirwin5581]

Pleasure to listen to someone who knows what their talking about 👍👍

[@bennelson3724]

I know I’m late to the show but just got my first CT… a 3.5lb Jersey 32 inch sport utility. I’m blown away, it’s absolutely beautiful (as a user) the handle is PHENOMENALLY finished and the sport utility finish is gorgeous. Almost like a blued steel that’s been burnt. I can’t get over how aesthetically pleasing it is but it also chops very well.

[@mildthing]

i got my carving axe from Council and i am hooked. great product and I like the heft of the axe. ill be getting me some more from council in the near future

[@hanselito2416]

Considering CT over Gransfors Bruks due to the grind angle. Grind angle on their forest axe is 15 degrees, just too thin for North America, as nice as it feels.

[@WAVETUBE84]

Digging the lamb-chop sideburns, dude ROCKS!

[@sunnybeach4837]

Competence is cool brother

[@SpareSpacesuit]

Came for the axe’s, stayed for the city traffic asmr, so relaxing ahhh

[@meandmyRC99]

Wow, a ton of good info in that! Thanks!

[@stevenmc56]

I feel for this guy nobody's paying attention too much background noise he is doing a great job Council tool woodcraft pack ax is a winner

[@sunnybeach4837]

I own several council tool axes. Most are premium axes. I've got a lot of pride in all American made and designed tools. Some axes I use some I will not. My goal is to own all axes that they produce over time as a collection. When you buy American you are helping American families. If you're going to spend money buy not just from an American company but one that uses all materials made in America. Another all American company I'm fond of is Hill people gear. Check them out! The hill brothers charisma and competence for the love of their designs reminds me alot of Roosters competence for the love of his designs. Some wonderful Americans that will go down in history for their contributions to this great nation. 👍

[@ronkay1573]

Lot of experience right there.

[@joshuamoses1631]

It would have been a better seminar if cousin Eddie wasn't grabbing food.

[@frankgulla8782]

Yeah, that was weird.

[@Fightosaurus]

2:11 - 4:33 the saga of Cousin Eddie's snack

[@sunnybeach4837]

Haha nah man it's a relaxed environment. I don't think they realize the historical significance of their convention though.

[@joshuajohnson4396]

I have a friend who fells trees and he keeps a boys axe on him while working. Wedge banging and all. Custom white oak 30 in handle on his. I have fallen in love with the boys axes myself and I'm a 6'4" 250lb man. I still love my big ole fireman's axe certain things though.

[@WAVETUBE84]

The Camp-Carver looks awesome! No wonder you have sold out of them.

[@sunnybeach4837]

It's such a nice axe 🪓

[@nicktritz8808]

I wish there was more said about applications for each axe. I’m looking for an axe to take into the bwca. My last trip I had a hard time finding wood and what I did find was impossible to split without a larger tool. Where does a guy start?

[@timduffus9307]

Awesome 👌 👏 👍

[@stevenmc56]

Choose your tools well dad said ! I believed him.

[@Demosophist]

My dad almost cut off his leg while riding carrying a saddle axe. Fortunately it only took a few weeks to heal.

[@douglas9607]

Very good information. It reflects poorly on Piragis to not provide a quieter area for your presentation.

[@joegelencser2571]

Awsome But must be a city property with all that noise Good job but try to prepare And put some thought in it before you start when you make your videos but very nice

[@OFFICIALUND]

Longest sandwich making of all time.

[@jasondonahue4747]

I got a itch for some good solid USA made axe. Paid the money Council tools asked for. Got split handle, skewed axe head, another split handle, 26" actual on 28, light hallowed wood handle. So far I got 0/5 from Amazon. And I'm not even picky about grain orientation or any of that. Just send me an axe that is not doa. 0/5 is quite a conscious decision and quite determined to pawn some downgraded stock on Amazon.

[@joshuajohnson4396]

I have probably been messing up but I coat my blades with Vaseline before storing them

[@notme3686]

Why is it so loud and why is there so much food present? Just random dudes walking around getting food and the chainsaws and traffic sounds are crazy.

[@dannyhatfield7259]

I have a collection of council tool axes and I was a bit disappointed in the fit and finish on the woodcraft axe

[@sunnybeach4837]

I've got a collection to bud. I was very pleased with mine

[@dannyhatfield7259]

@@sunnybeach4837 well I’m glad yours showed in perfect shape mine didn’t. Bud

[@preparedsurvivalist2245]

The ax handle thing is always problematic. What makes a good handle, how its hung, how to tend to it and upkeep it....and how not to BREAK it. Its a lot to expect retailers to have a working knowledge of, and even a novice consumer. That's why it gets tricky when someone claims to know what a bad handle looks like and then expects the retailer or manufacturer to bend over backwards to make it right, in whatever way is being demanded.

[@jamesschneider3828]

Was way too much noise

[@RyanPedersen]

Council Crooks sold me a badly misaligned hatchet and this guy has the audacity to tell me that I'll "get used to it". At least I get the satisfaction of fixing another man's mistakes.

[@2010DLV]

With much respect.... One can't see the product, random persons wandering around... Noisy background.. . Cringing... Try again.

[@johnmutton799]

Camp carver for people who don't want to spend $100 on a carver. £150 in UK. SO ABOUT $175 here in UK well over priced!

[@sunnybeach4837]

Check out their flying fox. It's got a lot of the characteristics as the camp carver accept just a few differences. It's 1060 steel which is good steel and it's a throwing axe as well lol but it's got a hardened pole and same flat grind as the carver so it carves really well. Plus you can choke up on it. I've got both, love em both

[@johnmutton799]

The handle on that boys axe is wrong, it should not have heart wood and sap wood. Nice axe, bad handle.

[@jthepickle7]

All about product. Shut off YT and go back to crafting.

[@spencerbainter677]

Great review, however, everyone is done with ferro rod action bro. It’s a fun party trick, but, just go buy 10 Bic lighters, if you don’t smoke, you should be good for life… That is what I called “hung proud.” Just sayin, I’m a realist. Thanks for the great review of a great line though…
