[@brucedocsmith2837]

NICE! Thank U very much Boyeee. Been watching awhile. I’m down, fx back during rescue, 40 yrs EMS. The escape this provides is amazing with the humor & joy you, & Tripper, let us in. Going thru all of them. The episode training Tripper for the canoe I’ve enjoyed many times.

That axe 🪓 is beautiful I'm so jealous. I collect axes new old many different styles. From viking axes to Celtic battle axes to throwing axes you get the idea. That is an axe I'd love to have in my collection. I watch every video love the content love your passion for the outdoors. God bless and never stop my grandfather was an outdoorsman until he could no longer go camping alone. My son is now 11 and we go hiking, camping,and fishing as much as possible my son Tyler loves your videos also. Take care best of everything to you your family and your four legged companion.

[@mfanwelikeit3760]

The sounds of Tripper loving his life in the background (and foreground, and everywhere else) really made me smile! Here’s to having batshit dogs who love life!

hi lekeit , we also cook in nature🍗🔥

[@jrocks1971]

Wow - that is literally EXACTLY what you should do with that Plumb axe. Perfect resto, perfect handle, custom leather -- them boys done you PROUD, son! ;-) I love me a vintage Plumbs. They made loads of different types. I have one that's this exact shape and weight that has the Boy Scouts of America logo on it -- was their official Scout axe back in the day. Also got the official WW2 GI hatchet with the OD green handle and a GI belt sheath with "US" on it. Collectors item. I guess the Medics carried them and made litters with them out of saplings for carrying the wounded. Anything Plumb pre-1960's(?) is exxxxcellent steel -- the older the better. I think I heard the quality degraded in the final years of production (60's-70's(?) -- they're long out of business now), but those older ones are amazing -- I have several. A classic American axe from the golden age of virgin US steel. The Plumb boy's axe is another ideal size and weight (1.75) for a forest axe like this. Keep your eyes peeled at flea markets and garage sales -- they're still out there...

[@pennyswings]

Beautiful craftsmanship. Always so special to get something that is handcrafted from someone who put a lot of thought into what is special to you. So great to see Tripper back to his old self and fully recovered. He high play instinct is what makes him so silly and smart. He obviously loves you and the great outdoors. Al the best to you and your lovely family. God bless and stay safe.

[@inthewoodswithbigfoot3941]

I love a great axe! Thanks for sharing!

[@davidarwood6264]

I would love to have a Beaver Craft handle on my new vintage Shapleigh Diamond Edge boy's axe head. I've never tried to make a handle myself. I can do some leather work and wood burning though. That's a very nice axe though. Can't go wrong with those old forged axe heads. I know he's a handful , but you have an awesome dog. He'll calm down in a couple of years.....maybe. 😂

[@teabagmcpick889]

Absolutely my favorite vintage head. Mine is similarly ground/honed but on a 24" handle. He got that convex spot on. You can tell by the smooth cut and easy release it's laser sharp, perfectly shaped and polished smooth. Super well done. That's a sweetheart and a wonderful gift.

I bought a Plumb axe at an antique store for a couple dollars with the original handle and it is my favorite axe I have ever used by far... it's around the same size as the one in this video which I think is a great size; just large enough for solid two-handed chopping but just small enough for one-handed hatchet work as well

I just finished watching a video by someone else I'm subscribed to while working on a cheap and cheerful Marbles Camp Axe. It has the Hudson Bay pattern head but the handle actually looks a lot like your new axe. When the other video ended this one popped up in the thumbnails. Kind of a funny coincidence.
