Am I the only one in 2024 watching old Wranglerstar videos. What a blessing these older videos are. I grew up watching the Woodright shop and New Yankee Workshop and the old Wranglerstar videos remind me of those Saturday mornings without a care in the world. I guess I get a little nostalgic watching Cody and the passion he used to have for good quality tools and the simple life. Boy I wish he'd go back every once in a while and make a video like he did in the old days. I know u can't make axe handle videoes forever but I wish u could.

Hey Cody, I noticed that when you were using the spokeshave aggressively, the whole bench was rocking. I actually built the same bench a few months ago and ran into the same issue. This bench was one of my first big projects as a 16 year old woodworker, and I thought I had made a mistake. What happened was the wedges in the aprons actually started to back out. What I did was made new wedges out of oak instead of Doug fir. I then put them in as tight as I can. To keep them from backing out, I simply cut a small piece of wood to fit in the gap between the top of the housing and the wedge. It totally worked! And if the bench ever started rocking again, I would just cut a slightly longer piece to seed the wedges further. Hope that helps :)
@Matio250916 жыл бұрын
Add some boiled linseed oil to the spot where the wedges are until it doesn't soak up any more oil (Should take a few days or so). This should keep the wood expanded and tight :) Just re-apply some boiled linseed oil every once in a while Linseed oil isn't just for handles and gun stocks! I love the stuff

I was thinking about the recurrent "loosen the lower vise and the upper clamp clatters to the floor" issue. You're dealing with a conditioned response. (Yes, I teach psychology, among other things.) There's a link in your head between "loose" and that lower handle. What you need is a tactile reminder not to touch it, something to interrupt the normal pattern but earlier than the upper clamp smacking the floor. I'd recommend you take an old (clean) sock (or something soft) and put it over that lower handle when you're using the upper clamp. The difference in sensation, from cold steel to warm and fuzzy wool will give you that split second warning before you start to put pressure to loosen it. "Do not use that handle." I've used similar solutions to issues in my own shop and, as wacky as they sound, they do interrupt that pattern and they do work. There. Said my piece. Hope it works for you. Blessings, brother. :)

It's pretty awesome that you were able to repurpose your grandad's axe handle. That axe is so small and light that I doubt perfect grain orientation is critical. As long as it's not altogether perpendicular, the amount of force necessary to cause failure due to grain orientation is probably WAY more than should be used with such a little axe anyway.

i just thought of something: structure, strength, rigidity etc is found on the microscopic level. like running shoes need to be thrown out after a certain number of miles cuz the microscopic structure breaks down and reduces shock absorption. likewise with wood, are there microscopic breaks in the grain of the old handle that would ultimately reduce it's shock absorption vs. the fresh piece of hickory?

To my eye, the slim handles of the hammer and the double bitted axe lend nice scale to those tools. Taking more meat off would help the S curve and perhaps improve the balance and feel because you won't need so much grip, and of course, you won't be holding it for long hours at a time. It's a very lightweight tool so I presume a lightweight handle is appropriate. It's going to be so nice. Thanks Cody. Perhaps you could mention or demonstrate some uses for it when your done, please.

Again, commenting as I watch: 1. Using your grand daddy's axe handle AND adopting his paint pattern? EXCELLENT idea. 2. A red strip here, a red stripe, there, here a red stripe, there a red stripe...Old Wranglerstar had a farm... 3. Considering that this is a tiny hatchet, you could probably get away with the wrong grain orientation, especially since it's your grand daddy's axe handle. 4. The handle you chose is the same shape as the one that came on the new version of that same Marbles axe that I have. 5. The world is HeartRacer's oyster. 6. The current version of that axe has a handle that seems long, until you use it. 7. Sharp trumps shape. 8. Ads in the middle of a video suck, especially if you don't want to skip them so the channel can get the income. 9. There's plenty of wood to make that shape. you won't be splitting firewood with that axe, after all. 10. Less is more. Anything worth doing, is worth overdoing. Use whichever one feels right. 11. At the 24 minute mark (app.), I don't think it's too long, but you could still take a lot of the thickness off and it would still be good. 12. Cheez, I wish I had HeartRacer's life! Regardless, of any of the above comments, whatever you do will turn out well. You have God's hand upon you. P.S. W, it's about time you learned to cook. It's really not that big a deal.

Glad to hear you're cleaning up your mess, I'm sure Mrs. W is expecting to come 'home', and not arrive in a single man's man-cave with the pizza boxes stacked up besides the TV. ;) ... So seeing you are somewhat on a tight schedule, meaning you likely won't have time to go to town for some flowers (unless on the way to the airport at a gas-station), might I suggest using some wild or garden flowers cut from the yard (if available), and perhaps some nicely shaped leafs (a bouquet needs some greenery to make the flowers come to their expression)... seeing flowers are more about 'the idea' than the actual flowers, I found garden bouquets to be equally appreciated (well, unless a situation calls for roses, then unless you grow them, buy them! )... ... On the handle, I like it, not entirely sure if I would take the shortening out of the bottom, seeing there is a nice palmswell in there, but if the weathering is hindersome than I guess that be an extra reason to shorten it from the bottom instead of the top ... and on the water situation, I'm actually pretty excited to see if that lil pump is still holding up, and whether it's going to be pumping enough to keep the garden going... guess i'll find out soon enough :)

That is going to be a sweet little axe. I don't know if I would have enough patience to polish the whole head of my axes, but it looks nice. Can't wait for the next time. Thanks.

+Wranglerstar I Have been asking around YT, and i guess my question in subjective, But as someone who has worked with plenty of trees can i ask do older and more mature trees smell different from younger ones when you fell and work them? i love the smell of a workshop with cut lumber, but the thought crossed my mind recently.. thanks for any answer you can give.
