Restoration - Goosewing Hewing Axe

[@MakeNCreate]

I get a lot of comments about making a pair of log dogs. Don't worry I am gonna be some in preparation for hewing the bigger log.

[@Toto-ko5on]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/hWO1kI2vhdaqnNE there is less mistakes and this is wery close to right operation techniques.

[@Powerofriend]

Can't expect same results with the two differing wood types. a fresh felled 2 year old has a lot of moisture trapped in it's cells making the wood both springy and more difficult to split. vs 30 y old oak the olfer tree has more linear cellstructure which makes cutting it easier. The axe separates whole linear cells from each other rather than ripping them appart mid cell. The wood cells have ahad time to dry out making them shrink a little easing the separation of the wood cells when struck. Found all this out after rresearching a bit, thank you for the inspiration!

[@Toto-ko5on]

This job needs training and experience. We say: plane, plane son, dady later correct with axe...

[@lefthorse1]

You have to learn how to use this kind of axes , there is a technique , the log MUST be fixed with two tipped U shape nails , the bark must be taken of, for straight line mark use a powder paint string , while work the log must be between your legs ... my grandpa have two of this kind of axes , but with different design , they have longer and thicker handle (1,2 m and 6 x 3 cm)

Relaxing for us, not so much for the blacksmith. Hewing an axe handle with an axe? Way too much work for me. My bandsaw and spokeshave are my go to equipment. 👍

[@NibNa5ty]

Nope.

[@s10m0t10n]

Nice work. I commend you for taking the time and making the effort to restore and use old tools like this axe. Through people like you, old skills may be saved and passed on. All we need now are enough folks who want to learn.

Your video production is mesmerizing; the sights and sounds of your craftsmanship at work, absent of any spoken word, tells an entertaining tale of a skilled artisan at work. Glad I came across your channel! Also… it’s a stark reminder that I have absolutely zero skill set. x2 :D

[@frankmoses6997]

Love seeing one of your videos in my sub feed. I really like that you take the time to make your own handle. Lots of people would have saved the time and bought one. Keep up the great work!

[@MakeNCreate]

Had too in this case. Nobody makes handles for these kind of axes.

[@ViktorSuhov]

@@MakeNCreate what wood did you use for the handle? Looked like elm

[@thefreewayoctopus]

You're the first restoration channel I've seen without a complaining comment section, so I'd say nice job, although I'm not an expert in this sort of thing. I just watch these videos because I find them interesting and relaxing-ish. Also, I like how you used mostly hand tools, unlupike some others who use all or almost all power tools and chemicals and how you're doing it with more of the old ways to learn about the old ways more.

[@Rt-fo8ge]

I fall asleep to these all the time i love it

[@rickpalechuk4411]

Good to see the proper method for creating the handle, splitting to find the natural grain. Nice job professor! :) Always a joy to watch you create. Cheers

[@DavePawson]

I think you found out why you need 'pins' (U shaped spikes, dig into the log, and into support wood) to hold the log still. Lovely restoration

[@MikeTheMaker1]

Love that you actually made you're own handle, not bought some lumber but split the tree to actually make your handle.

[@benshamblin4407]

Great job with the handle, I love making them with an axe or hatchet. Speeds up the process and yields a better feeling handle than with a bandsaw.

[@gannenhinson5966]

Wonderful work once again, i think the restoration videos are my favorite to watch

[@certifiedcouchpotato602]

I really like the dark dark blue finish. It really makes it interesting.

[@blubirdspinkclouds7201]

[@SamTownsBladesmith]

A small piece of advice would be to forge yourself a set of log dogs to hold your trunk steady, they'd be dead easy for a guy of your talent. Great stuff mate, keep it up!

[@MakeNCreate]

It's upcoming project! Thanks mate!

[@madisonthompson322]

here is a random axe of kindness... great vid! it was very relaxeing and fun to watch, stay sharp!

[@MakeNCreate]

Thank you very much!

[@sasasasa-lx6cl]

Great job and it quite refreshing that goosewing is called a hewing axe, not a clickbait names like "old battle-axe" or "executioner axe" and restored for it true purpose, not as a prop :). Bit of advice, if I may: for removing large amount of wood on handles in fast and controlled way etc try shinto saw rasp. They are relatively cheap but good quality and extremely effective. Also durable, got mine almost 10 years ago and it is still sharp.

[@semco72057]

That is a nice restoration and the handle is looking great too.

[@williammuraski4104]

You should make a video about your basic tools and where to get them

[@awldune]

You need to make log dogs to hold the log. Its like a huge staple. Should be an easy forge project. See Mr Chickadee's video Forging Log Dogs for the Homestead. What kind of wood was the handle? It looked like a real bastard.

[@MakeNCreate]

Yeah the wood was very gnarly. It was a stupid piece of ash. Logs dogs are an upcoming project! Thanks

Is that ash wood for the handle? I live in the US where we usually use hickory, but I've been making several handles out of ash lately because it's what I have on hand, and it's pretty nice.

[@muledeerdude]

Great video! You earned a new sub. I loved how you could see the delineation between the mild steel of the body and the higher carbon steel of the bit (1:09) in the oxidation pattern. Beautiful axe. Just curious, why an oil quench instead of water? My understanding is that the cutting edge of axes are made of a medium carbon steel, between 0.04-06 percent carbon, which would need a water quench to achieve full hardness. Did you know the alloy of the bit or did you just want to play it safe? I know the blade got more than hard enough, I’m just curious as to the thought process.

[@MakeNCreate]

Thank you very much! I took a bit of a chance when it came to hardening the axe. I wasn't really able to identify the steel when grinding it and looking at the sparks. So I treated it like it would be a high carbon steel just for safety. Quenching in water is very risky since the steel has a higher change of cracking or warping. So with that in mind if the steel did harden well enough with oil, I could always try water instead, luckily that wasn't the case.

I have to wonder why you wasted all that wood for the handle. Is it the type of wood or something, not really useable towards the outside? If anyone knows why I'd love an answer.

[@zetsumeimaru]

Heart wood tends to be more dense.

[@prd6617]

yes and in my opinion more important since axes dont have steel inside the handle like most sword as core

[@MakeNCreate]

I didn't waste any wood at all. All the wood I cleaved is gonna be used for other tool handles and all the wood chips I'm gonna burn to either light my forge or my home.

okay, I laughed at you using pliers to handle it in the vinegar, honestly while it is an acid, it is so mild that it won't do anything more than maybe redden the skin a little, easy enough to wash it off, that being said nice work,

also try hewing down the length of the log with the grain not across it, much easier that way
