DIY | Hardcore Hatchet Handle from Skateboards

My good buddy Ben over at ‪@WobyDesign‬ was kind enough to send me one of his skateboard blanks so that I could shape it into a hatchet handle. When I got it, I knew I wanted to get a Hardcore Hammer hatchet, so I reached out and they send me one of their survivalist hatchets. I had such a good time making this handle and learning how to carve with the Kutzall shapping disc. I'll be using that on future projects for sure! Huge thanks to both Ben and Hardcore Hammers for making this build possible. If you have any questions let me know what you got in the comments! Thanks for watching!

[@tntcox100]

Definitely love the soundtrack for this video Nick, great work on the handle as well. That would be a great little hatchet for camping 👍

[@KeyWoodworks]

Thanks Todd, I think a hatchet like this would be super handy if I was a camper....but I’m not so I’ll hang it on my office wall 😜

[@tntcox100]

It’s certainly pretty enough to be placed on the wall. 😂😂😂

[@stephensuverison6803]

Handle came out sweet! Also video production quality = 💯%! Great video.😎

Thanks! I do appreciate it!

[@andrewguevara6748]

Nice chops 😎

[@KeyWoodworks]

Thanks man!

[@StoskiCustoms]

Very clean work! Video was a bit cheesy at some points and I like that! 👍

[@KeyWoodworks]

Glad you enjoyed it! I'm made of cheese.

[@ShaunGuthrie-CaskWoodworking]

This awesome! The handle is perfect. Great sound track for this video too!

Thanks man! Glad you liked it!

[@seanlincoln77]

Love how this turned out, just listened to you guys talking about this build. Awesome job!!

[@KeyWoodworks]

thanks for listening and watching!

[@gortmanmade7277]

Looks sick. A shaper is definitely something I need to learn to use!

[@KeyWoodworks]

Thanks man! I’m for sure going to be using it more often now!

[@mattmalicote8243]

Awesome man love how it turned out! 🤘🏼

[@KeyWoodworks]

Thanks my man!

[@jheisler]

ok so. That was great. But there weren’t any “wooooooooo”s!

[@KeyWoodworks]

I didn't want it to be a blatant rip off

[@jheisler]

I saw it more as an homage than a rip off. But still it came our great.

[@KeyWoodworks]

@@jheisler thanks!

[@pawelgotlib4581]

Dodgers hat and "ok, so, 👏" clearly from woby design, but wasnt the soundtrack from Katz Moses' chanel (specifically tune around 4min)?:))) All in all great clip, although i am a little dissapointed you did not paint it black at the end:) Thank you!

[@KeyWoodworks]

First of all it’s 👏🏻, ok, so....but of course that was my nod to Ben. The music is from epidemic sound so you’ve probably heard it all over UA-cam. I may be weaning myself off of the black 😜 thanks for watching!

[@cemontalvo12]

Dang was that hickory you were chopping? #shopsounds

[@KeyWoodworks]

haha it was!! thanks for watching...and listening!

[@GopherWoodshop]

It looks very cool, now if you could only take 50 axe handles and turn them into a skateboard, lol

[@KeyWoodworks]

Hmmmm there’s an idea lol

[@gabemcginnis2688]

eeeee poxy!

[@KeyWoodworks]

Yooooooou know it
