"...as it pleases me..." I've watched this video about 20 times, and keep picking up more information, each time.

When getting rid of the high marks, with the help of the broad head axe, could you in theory use a draw knife? Or is a hewing axe is what you need and that's it?

My english is not good enough: When he talks about the broad axe, which side is which? is the slanted side towards or away from the wood?

beginner: You are a beginner if you are affected(easily disordered) by failure.

No dribble-E spoons from seeing spoons in bumps; right. Aspire to 2 to 3 dollar an hour wage as a crafts person. :/ :) I love your excitement around the pick-up-sticks, and look forward to them revealing themselves to my eye as I am looking at woods.

“By the time your done failing, the job is done”. Awesome quote!

Simply amazing to watch a true craftsman. Thank you ❤

Nice to see the variation and similarities of father and son. The same overall process, with shifts of attention to certain areas. And the foot Vice spoke shaving is choice

Hehee glee! Thanks for sharing your unboxing joy

Love the sculpture garden Performance play idea.

Huzzah philosophical messes

@14:00 Norris Patch taught Dan the technique of driving the tool into a soft/green billet or round

hey i just found your channel today after searching for how to hew and i like this idea of yours i am a bit of a craftsman so if i got one of those i would want to do most of the work myself so im probably just gonna buy me one myself but i hope youhave a good day also i very much agree on the pitted axes the best axe i have now is just a random old camp axe i decided to sharpen up that was left at the beac for years so it almost looked like it was buried for a century works good now though

Around 1880. Thanks!

Hey Dan. Those are nice windows. How old are they?

Thank you for sharing your knowledge

Dan, you can dress they axe any way you wish. Yours and Andy's work would compliment each other im sure.

Thank you, Andy and Dan!!

As a hobby blacksmith with lots of work in wrought iron and steel, I would absolutely love to sponsor you by taking this upon myself to rebuild this axe and ship it to its new owner. I work at a wood shop as a manager as well and can make a proper handle no problem. I just absolutely love being able to handle history and try to reverse engineer it to learn how it was made. Should I get the honor of rebuilding this axe, I'd for sure replace the handle but ship the old handle with the axe.

Sir you are my inspiration, you know!!!! I have nothing to do with axe, but I can't stop watching your video.❤❤

Good job Dan

A belt sander is fine as long as the paper is new and you keep the steel cool. You could use a file, but that takes a long time. The explosion of sharing info the last years means a lot of dogma is talked about. But the people who are hewing as a part of their work converge on a fairly similar set of parameters. Those who can learn from a living practical tradition, can be assured to get straight to the point. The truth is, most people are hobbyists or sportsmen and the margins are just not so important. Thanks Dan and "cameraman" for sharing your knowledge, it is so valuable for the continuation of these skills.

Thanks for watching and commenting!

Thanks for filming this Dan and "cameraman", best wishes and God bless.

Sir you are a great human being❤❤❤❤❤

Sir, I too am a Flutist and a repair enthusiast. The world is a wonderful place to live in because of people like you. You made my day Sir, God bless you.❤❤❤❤ Sir I have a similar method because of which I never had to change my Flute pads for the last 26 years now. Sir would like to share the same with you.❤❤❤

That is a lovely wedge.

It's very nice that your showing new people how the old timers did it along way back was done this thank you for sharing your technics

A coffee table with WHAT? GROSS!

A knot is like a rock in a stream. Probably the most important thing to remember when hewing.

I’d like to hear the story about the Grindstone. Thanks for all the useful information so far.

Awesome Dan! Great answer to the sharpening question….i had a feeling you were tickling the bottom side a little. I’ve had a few goes at adze work and it’s been incredibly humbling. I own several old adzes, and they all have different edge geometry. I don’t have enough adze experience yet to confidently tune them up, but your way of dealing with the wire edge makes a lot of sense. I noticed that my sharpest adze is really flat/true on the bottom out to the cutting edge, and really seems to dig into the wood instead of scooping on out. Thanks for sharing your techniques and sharpening perspective, and the angled swing away from shins is gold!

Looks great! Thanks for including us in your projects!

In my humble opinion that Axe was intended to be Dou le Bevled. It is a Shipwrights Masting Axe, used to Shape Wooden Masts. I have 2 of the that are nearly identical to the Axe you are discussing. Both of my Axes have a double Bevel and an Oval eye. A true Hewing Axe has a flat side in the Eye. Just my two bits as a Collector and a Student of the Axe World. Also a 30 year veteran of the Log building Trade both in modern methods and methods of old. Always enjoy your Hewing Videos. Thanks Dan.

Awesome! As the kids say, "you've got mad skillz". Haha. 😊

Great video! Thanks for shedding some light on adze work and sharing some tricks! Love the screw in the handle. When sharpening, do you have any micro bevel on the bottom to help it climb up out of the cut? Or is it ground flat on the bottom near the cutting edge? The tool itself obviously has some curve to it, seems like all these variables are pretty important to the process working out. Keep making videos! You are a treasure to the next generation of craftsmen.

Awesome to see a pro at work. I have tried this, you do make it LOOK very easy. I need more practice!

You are amazing Dan. I wish you the best .

Too bad. You may yet!

Bravo Dan. I too have surfaced 100's of Sawn Beams to make them look Hewn. You and I do this exactly the same right now to the Adze that is used. Good Video as usual.

Hi Dan and Greatings from Germany! I watched your Video and its one of those I love UA-cam for: Quiet, slowly and personal with realy helpful information from ones who tried it out. very good idea with the Tape and also with the plasticboddle and the kork to find out where it leaks. Thank you. I played the tenor-Sax in my youth and bought a Flute now because its quiet and can be used in my appartment without disturbing the neighbours. I Bought the flute on ebay as you but had no idea that generally they are not playable. now i can make this flute work. Thank you so much!

Hi. I tried scotch tape but it didn't seal. I will have to try pipe thread tape. Thanks for video!
