[@michaeljohnstone6830]

Your skills are manifold. I was raised around people just like this including my mother the wood carver/furniture maker and my father the mechanical engineer who saw the world as a conveyor belt of raw material to make beautiful things out of. I thought this type of all around artisan was a dying breed but I see there's still a few of us left. Well done.

[@jimmydiresta]

Thank you sir!! Thank you for he love & respect !

[@JohnDoe-l1kmya5s]

Hey man that move with the table saw, in a million years, I don't think I would have thought or considered carving like that. Very innovative! Thanks for sharing your skills.

[@paulhagan56]

You make all your projects look so easy Jimmy. I appreciate each one.

[@keikuru1]

+jimmydiresta Hey Jimmy, I just wanted to say you're incredible and your videos along with guys like Paul Sellers have taught me everything I know about wood working and over the last year I've learned so much, starting February I'm going to be apprenticed to a carpenter family friend. I was really impressed at how sharp the axe came out when you did the initial sharpening, you're really good at putting convex edges on axes! It's easy to mess up the geometry. That's one of the most beautiful axes I've ever seen. :D

[@tikitavi7120]

Screw everyone, I loved the dark finish on the handle. This is a work of art.

[@cmasonmason2277]

[@Soulman-lb3gg]

Loved everything except the black paint on the handle. Would've much preferred an oil/wax finish.

[@Soulman-lb3gg]

+Soulman1282 Also, you need a welt on that axe mask. As is, you've got the edge of your axe banging against metal rivets.

[@WizardKagdan]

+Soulman1282 I was watching the vid, not agreeing with all the methods but ah well - the result was looking REALLY good, I loved the way the handle looked. Then I saw black, and I wanted to go and punch the maker of this video. One does NOT simply PAINT a handle, just like one does not kill a puppy. The natural colour and patterns of wood are the most beautiful thing you can get on there, and oil is the best way to preserve it

[@WizardKagdan]

+Soulman1282 Oh, and as for the rivets... yeah, that or copper rivets. This just hurts

[@Reptiliancentaur781]

+Wizard Kagdan except that it's not paint it's a dark stain you can see him put on the stain wait a bit and then wipe it off and after that he put a coat of linseed oil on it

Seen A lot of things...Never see a man have to make rubber casting for hanging an axe before. Let me guess, New Yoke City? And you did it under duress. What was your name again

[@jimmydiresta]

+HOSSMCGILLICUTTI from the few comments i received from you today .. seems your offended by me? if you ever had a video taken buy live leak and or break.com and edited so your credit was removed you would understand why my branding appears through out all my newer videos. if i am offending you with my visuals you can look away.

[@jimmydiresta]

+HOSSMCGILLICUTTI the chrome plater had the axe while was making the handle .. the reason for the cast of the eye. reference

[@HOSSMCGILLICUTTI]

jimmydiresta No offense meant, just seems a little silly, (the molding ) and i bet if you had to do it again, you'd do it different. You seem to brite for that idea.

[@HOSSMCGILLICUTTI]

How many single bit'd axe eye sockets are there? Ive seen a total of one

[@jimmydiresta]

+HOSSMCGILLICUTTI so you argument is i should have know from memory because you know what all the axe eyes look like?.. not having a second one in the shop..... ?? i make molds all the time . this would be simple for me , maybe not for you ..

[@bavarianmonkey8326]

Try. Fail. Repeat.

[@atomfox3488]

Also add a big workshop, materials and lots of tools... or at least access to use a workshop and tools.

[@atomfox3488]

sand blasting cabinet($150-$500 and about 5-10 sq ft of area to use), belt sander table($100-$300 3-8 sq ft), angle grinder($20-$100 store on a shelf, use on a work bench that takes up 20 sq ft), orbital sander($20-$50 shelf), band saw($200-$1000 10-20 sq ft to have enough room to use properly), table saw($100-$600 8-14 sq ft), reuse the bench and hand file($10) for fine shaping of the handle, leather punches and rivet tools($20-$100 used on the bench). To do the project as shown you need at least $1000(probably closer to $2000) for the equipment and over 100 sq ft of space. Not to say you couldnt do it with less and cheaper, but it'd take alot more time and effort. If you've had a shop for years the equipment lasts forever so once you pick up a tool it's easy to lose track of the whole cost over time and it doesnt cost much to store it, but building a shop from scratch is very expensive.

[@galaxymoon3920]

[@elmephisto1847]

how much does it cost to set up a small workshop like these at home? max to min? approximately?

[@bencatsv810]

the legendary kong depends on what kind of a deal you can find, as jimmy once said (not exact words) it’s better to buy a second hand tool of good quality than a new piece of crap, you can get the basics for like $100 if you look in the right places.

[@itskidkelly]

the legendary kong one really good place to look are flea markets occasionally you’ll find people who are just too old to do it anymore and are selling their equipment for a very good price. If you need an anvil you can actually make a really good one with two railroad tracks welded, sanded, and bolted to a log.
