In this video I go into detail as to how I make my ash axe handles. I hope this is of some use to anyone. Any questions, feel free to ask in the comments. My first long video of 2024 - Happy new year!

I really enjoy this long form tutorial type of video. Shorts and lives are always fun, but these really show how much you truly enjoy what you do and how knowledgeable you’ve become since your earlier videos. Informative, entertaining, and relaxing to watch/listen to. Another great video, Eoin. 👏🏻🙂 side note, seeing the dresser in the background makes me excited for the dresser restoration videos to start as well. 🤗

I've watched a thousand wood working tutorials without lifting a saw until this one. I needed an axe handle, followed this vid and the handle came out beautiful. I only had black mulberry as far as seasoned wood goes so we'll see how long it lasts, maybe not really appropriate for an axe, but works for now. I used some small pieces of purple heart I had sitting around for the end pieces. Thanks for the vid!

Great timing! I'm about to take up after my Grandfather in making axe handles and I missed learning from him as he passed when I was a child. I've collected most his tools, having been left in a wet basement and barn for over 20 years, I'll need to restore each piece and am grateful to have found your channel as you're teaching me about every thing I'm need to do. He was a devout Ash-tian as well, most of his axes I could find have had their handles beat near or clean off so I've already got over 6 axe heads awaiting restoration and pairing to a handle. Like myself, my Grandfather was keen for his axe and did a lot of the work on the house and log camps he built with his double-bitted axe, including some of the best archways I've seen. I appreciate the time you've put in to not only sharing and teaching knowledge that I'd be hard pressed to have found elsewhere, but also you've kinda given me a link to the past to revive a family heritage. Awesome work and thank you!

Using oil to seal your grains are generally better because the oil will allow the sweat of your hands to get into the grain, and that’s usually how you get your ‘patina’. Great videos, especially when it shows that you are not invincible, ie gluing when much too cold!

Good evening Eoin. Me, Bering a metal working guy, only using wood if I absolutely needed to, as I was never able to do something good with the powertools on hand, came into woodworking trough your lovely shorts and videos. Using handrails took away a lot of the concerns I always had. Seeing you do more of an actual „Tutorial“ style Videos is something I like a lot. Greetings from good ol germany 😊

Bricklayers can't work below 2 degrees because ice forms between the mortar and brick stopping then from chemically binding together, the whole wall can blow down , water based wood glue I assume must have the same properties in close to zero degree weather,hence why the glue failed first time around , love watching your uploads , nice seeing old crafts and methods still being used today in 2024 👍

Good timing for a video like this, I got this old hammer that has over time become my favorite over newer steel and fiberglass styles. It's got a standard hammer face on one side of the head and a rubber mallet on the other... the handle is starting to crack away. I was going to possibly replace the handle with american hickory but maybe ash is a better choice. Either way well done 👍

You were talking about simpler tools for finding center line, you can get pretty accurate with a scale/rule that’s in millimeter or 32nds of an inch… line up an edge with the 1in or 1cm line instead of the end of the rule for higher accuracy
