Love the restoration jobs. What kind of oil do you brush on the finished leather work. Cheers, Darcy

[@langdonoutdoors7859]

Can’t wait to get these axes Kyle! It looks like you did quite the job on them! They may be too nice to use. Haha. Thanks again! 👍

[@richterknives]

I highly enjoyed this video Kyle. I respect your craftsmanship and thoughtfulness you put into each piece. I feel like you really understand the importance of an heirloom crafted item. Been here since day one and I’m certain I enjoyed this video as much as the first. God bless you, brother.

Sentimental value trumps monetary value every time in my opinion. Several years ago I restored many of my father’s fishing rods and gave them to my grandsons and great nephews to keep in his memory. I was so proud when receiving photos from these children using these rods and capturing fish on great grandads fishing rods. Thanks for sharing Kyle and a big gday from Gippsland region of Victoria Australia.

Family is important, passing down something that was used by an older generation is connecting with family. You are so fortunate to be in the position to help restore items that will live on. God bless

Just finished restoring an old mattock in a playing card style as my personal axe. Axes in particular just have a beautifully graceful look to them. Wonderful work as always!

[@ecttreker9816]

Great info Kyle. Especially like the tip on the axe handle grain. Great explanation. Makes perfectly good sense. 👍👍

[@toddcarr.]

Awesome restoration project, past down items have so much more meaning to them vs bought pieces. Definatly worth the new lease of life. Thanks for the great vid and keep making sharp things fun and enjoyable.

In the future if you are looking for quality handles, check out Whiskey River Trading in Iron River, Wisconsin here in the states. In addition to historical as well as traditional handle shapes, their handles are graded and display the characteristics you mentioned which contribute to a quality handle. Most of their handles are not finished, saving the step of removing the cheap varnish finish found on the majority of replacement handles these days. Also, their periodic on line auctions are a great source for vintage heads at affordable prices that make great project axes for those looking to try their hand at an axe restoration. Thanks for the inspiration Kyle.

Gorgeous work as always, Kyle!!!!! Great informative video as always, Kyle !!!! Take care and stay safe, my friend !!

[@famasmaster2000]

2 beautiful axes !! This does bring me back to some of the older vids, was nice to see you bring out their classic beauty. If they could talk , they are just gorgeous Kyle, well done 👍😎

[@alansandybulmer4877]

Totally agree with your sentiments regarding restoring family heirlooms. Beautiful work on these axes Kyle. Stunning.

[@scottkoch5207]

Thanks for sharing, Kyle. It’s such a joy to watch a true artist. I always learn some things from you. What better way to spend my leisure time 😊

[@R.H.bladeNshade]

Man this was an awesome one to watch. It is always a great day when you post a video buddy. Just like Richter said, I can sense and see the passion through the screen when you work. It has always drawn me in. Thanks for sharing this one Kyle!!

[@terrillschneider3778]

Nice old axes Kyle I love your axe restoration videos and they inspired me to dig out the Plumb Boy Scouts Hand Axe that my late father gave me when I joined the Scouts 60 years ago I have it sharpened and the original handle oiled and I plan to post it on my Instagram on Father’s Day as a tribute to Dad God bless you and your family and your business

[@singingtoad]

Absolutely stunning work, Kyle. Well done. 😊👍Take care and Cheers!

[@RkyMtnH1]

[@kathleensmith370]

[@bobclapper2672]

Excellent ! Hey , do you still have your DR650 ? I got one recently , kinda obsessed with it ! Please put up more DR650 videos !

[@fathersonoutdoors7487]

Great video buddy and a awesome job as always

[@paullambert4445]

I have papa’s (grandpa’s) Winchester semi-auto 22 rifle from the 1940’s that I just cherish even though I don’t really shoot anymore. Thanks. I really love hatchets and axes. Restored a “Plumb” from 1944 last year. 🎸🔪

[@newfieguy75]

Other amazing job there noing you can't do every video you puts out is amazing kept up the great work God bless you and your family

[@Xxxero42]

Those are BEAUTIFUL!

[@Him__3000]

The bakeapples on your store are absolutely gorgeous pieces of art Kyle. If money allowed I'd get em all. One day, sooner than later let's hope 😉

[@thomastommy1192]

Wow, You did an awesome great job with this project. I love the way you fitted the handle. You made it look easy and quick. How long did it take to put the handle on the axe head? Thumbs up to your video and project.

[@paullambert6862]

Beautiful work

[@AndrexT]

Wow, nice job all round, and I don't think I have ever seen an axe that shaves paper!

[@johnconklin5180]

I don’t think there is any materialism about it. My grandfather was a carpenter who used to build homes. In those days there were no electric saws or drills. Every framing board was cut by hand as well as trim etc. well I have one of those frame saws and I treasure it. Amazing steel as I will use it on occasion and it still is sharp. The only item I have that was his. Nice job on the builds Kyle.

[@Him__3000]

Oh I'm excited for this one..

[@HerbertWingfield]

0:34 got some axes to grind...

[@jerryjohnson4618]

Beautiful Axe 🪓

[@KevinsDisobedience]

Just saying hey. Long time subscriber, but have kinda fallen off the knife and axe scene for a while. Good to see you doing well and the new shop looking good.

[@kyle_noseworthy]

Thanks Kevin! Hope you're well!

[@antaress8128]

When you stitch the leather how do you prevent the needle from poking the thread that is already in the same hole? I tried it and split the thread a few times with the needle.

[@capitanshaf5751]

Thanks for the video Kyle. Do you make anything that us uk legal, such as a none locking folding knife with max 3 inch blade length? Would love to own something made by your hands

[@townieoutdoors8121]

What kind of oil did you use on the axe masks ?

[@wrecksricardus4911]

Kyle ... has an axe to grind ... pity the fool that doesn't take this stuff seriously

[@billhatcher2984]

It's best to scrape the old lacquer off and start applying linseed oil

[@HerbertWingfield]

12:58 "Honey, you see the leg to that antique table my Mother gave us for our 10th Anniversary?

[@bobwalton4879]

Voila!!! Some human finally got the tip, to hit the handle on the bottom, and not drive it on by the ax head, same goes with a hammer that gets a loose head! Handle tapping 101! I am 67 Earth years, My thing! No one desires to be called 21 years OLD> Very impressive from start to finish.

[@tigdogsbody]

We are our stuff. Thank you, Sir.

[@HerbertWingfield]

Hammer of Thorn...

[@wrecksricardus4911]

Welland Vale ... come visit me in Ontario ... the original island factory in the middle of the old Welland Canal ... just around the corner from me ... bring the girlies ... just five minutes up the road from the Welland Vale island .... is an operational old-fashioned carousel ... a perfect merry-go-round ... There's not much to do in Ontario for self-sufficient experts ... BUT ... I know all the spots ... keep Ontario in mind when the time is appropriate ... I'll show y'all a good time ... even send you home with paid groceries

[@onlyychevys]

There is nothing materialistic about sentimental family things in my opinion!

[@notfoolediknowthetruth3101]

Council tool sent me a boys axe; the grain was nearly perfectly horizontal not vertical. I called them, he said it was fine and to put it to work. He denied to replace it. He said they have no control of the handle quality as it is outsourced. For all the BS they hype on their website about hand made quality made in US, its absolutely deceptive. Ill never buy a council tool again.
