    These are some of my favorite videos, no words. The craftsman with his tools and the artist with their camera angles tells the whole story

    Over the years I watched you make handles for various tools and you just keep getting better and better. I always enjoy them. Thank you.

    Even though Cody may never admit it, he's an artist. His work, these videos, seemingly everything he does is a work of art.

    Sometimes you are a bit preachy, sometimes I find your series go on a bit too much but my god you know how to make a handle making video. Love how relaxing, interesting and accessible you make this seem. You have turned it into a pleasure.

    I think this is one of your best videos. Less talk and all action. Your explanatory notes helped with the less talk part and the music was great. Don't get me wrong. I'm a fan. I'm not for no talk, just less. Thanks.

    I'm so glad you posted this, I'm a stonemason and I just bought a new 3lb hammer head from Trow & Holden I didn't care for the handles they sell I prefer about an 8 1/2" long handle and want to make my own, this video has given me the inspiration and motivation to do so......just gotta find some hickory stock. Thank you

  • @HOSSMCGILLICUTTI
    @HOSSMCGILLICUTTI 8 років тому +4

    Glad you reminded us of the proper species of wood too use on a wooden handled lever tool Cody, thanks. I heard some people use Ash, for even much longer, more stressed swinging type tools. Ash is great for a perfectly straight handle, But no other hardwood splits more easily. It's splitting properties are very similar to cedar. Great job. Thanks for sharing Cody

    • @tommurdoch2989
      @tommurdoch2989 8 років тому +2

      Ash has been used in Europe for thousands of years for tool handles. Only in recent years we've been getting American hickory. The hickory is stronger but some traditional tool makers still prefer Ash, I'm not sure if European ash and American ash are the same.

    • @HOSSMCGILLICUTTI
      @HOSSMCGILLICUTTI 8 років тому +1

      Yes, we know this. It was a reference to an inside joke. We have white ash and black ash here in the adirondack mountains. I own a sawmill and actually sell white ash, or swamp ash. Most black ash goes to making large and small baskets and backpacks and such, very flexible when beaten to a pulp. Yet super strong and long lasting.

    • @SteveandDawn
      @SteveandDawn 8 років тому +1

      +HOSSMCGILLICUTTI I'd like to know where on the West Coast he's getting the hickory. Maybe by mail from the east?

    • @tommurdoch2989
      @tommurdoch2989 8 років тому

      +HOSSMCGILLICUTTI Thanks Hoss, (fraxinus excelsior) common ash is found across Europe, from the Artic circle to Turkey. It's the most common tree in the British Isles but is currently under threat from disease.
      its great for furniture, tool and sports handles. It also makes the perfect firewood, it burns hot for a long time and you can burn it green. I still don't know the difference between our ash and yours as we only have the one here as a native tree.

    • @HOSSMCGILLICUTTI
      @HOSSMCGILLICUTTI 8 років тому

    @danmorrison9712 8 років тому

    Beautifully shot and edited. The audio quality is awesome as well, I enjoy the relaxing sounds of the woodshop.
    I had a wooden spokeshave just like yours, with the worn down concave area in front of the blade. It was usable in this condition, but took some mighty thick shavings if I wasn't careful with it.
    I cut a notch into the beech wood to remove the section of the wood that was worn out and inlayed a new piece of hardwood to repair the area, it cut much better after that!

    I'm so glad I watched this one. Thank you.
    I was looking on how to hand form a hammer handle, and I have the exact same tool, and also a vintage Stanley X3C spoke shaver. I have never used either, as they were inherited from my Dad when he died recently.
    I think I'll use my little 25cm bandsaw to get the initial shape.

  • @TheRestorationCouple
    @TheRestorationCouple 8 років тому +6

    Great video, the simplest ones are always the most inspiring. Is there any need to use the same wood species for the wedge or can it be any harder wood? i.e could you use a contrasting walnut?

    • @cameronmcpeak5183
      @cameronmcpeak5183 8 років тому

      Iv actually read that a softer wood IE poplar is a better choice as softer woods bite more and will expand more when linseed oiled.

    • @wranglerstar
      @wranglerstar  8 років тому

      +Cameron McPeak Poplar is not a better choice than Hickory or say Ash,

    • @cameronmcpeak5183
      @cameronmcpeak5183 8 років тому

      (IE poplar) meaning a wood a bit softer than the handled wood. This will allow the grain from the handle material bite into the wedge for a higher friction hold. Now of course the only difference would probably be that a hardwood wedge may bounce more upon installation. And that a softwood wedge fills the voids between the handle and wedge better. Its really more personal preference than anything.

    • @cameronmcpeak5183
      @cameronmcpeak5183 8 років тому

      also a little handle hack. if you use a contrasted piece of wood for the wedge like walnut or poplar (Poplar works fine if you use a good quality wood) not the crappy ones you usually use in handles. the contrast between the two woods will help if you need to remove the wedge for some reason, because you can see the different color shavings.

      @MrJsowa 8 років тому +2

      +DraaxLP Draxx!!!! no way do you watch WS! its all about inertia in this case the head was to light to counter the inertia of the handle.I got a channel about blacksmithing if you are interested at all,i have videos that kind of explain basic blacksmith techniques/tools.forge/anvil/tooling.might add a little depth to the use of forges and smithies in ARK unless you already know a bit about metal work.
