i love your vids my dad was born and raised in belfast northern Ireland but moved to america on his 17th birthday so this is a way to learn about my familys history a little bit
@@YanoshRagauld a little bit his parents still have it and after he and my mum divorced we have lived with them so ive gotten pretty good at it but im better at scottish or australian
@@ajaykyle3032 Interesting. I'm from the UK , north of England and have far french and Danish ancestors . We have bucket loads of accents over here, I've got family in Australia too. You become a bit of an accent specialist by exposure over here if you've got your ears open. I lived with three lads from Belfast while working in Holland for a year 2000/2001, What an accent that is. Clipped and abrupt. The kind of accent that would suit a hawk. Southern Ireland accent's more of a swan's voice in comparison ay. Working construction in Holland, the oddest thing was that I became the translator between the lads from Belfast and the lads from Glasgow, (another Gaelic machine gun accent like no other right there), What a ball that was. All going out together for a drink and a smoke after work was just off the chart crazy. I loved every minute of it mate. Best regards from over the pond Amigo.
My Irish grandmother used to sew baseballs for the Philadelphia Phillies. The center was a hard rubber ball surrounded by layers of yarn. She would soak the hide overnight in brine. Then sew it together the next morning. The last step would be placing it in the window sill to be exposed to sunlight. The sunlight would shrink the leather and tighten the sewing on the baseball. Margret made the best baseballs. Now they are made in Central America and South America.
I've never even heard of Hurling. Had to look up a few videos for rules & what a game looks like. That's some incredible skill required just to move the "ball", whose name I can't possibly remember. Thanks for an interesting video!
@@ryanbirkhead1596 So did we (Americans) use the sliothar for baseball or did the irish incorporate the baseball into their sport? I've onlyseen a couple videos, but i'm assuming it's about the same as a baseball from the size, seam pattern and being whacked with a wooden stick.
I've gotten on to charring the handles of all my garden implements and whatnot since watching you video. Looks way better, besides the other benefits. 👍 All the best from Newfoundland, the Ireland of Canada.
Really enjoy your videos, I went back and started at the beginning. I've always loved using hand tools, I grew up watching the woodwright shop. Now I build flintlock rifles using only hand tools. Keep up the good work.
I love the look that charring gives to the wood. By George I think you're onto something with the Hurley. Congrats on the sale!! Great Job on this and all your videos!! 🎉
Brett from California. Scottish, Dutch and a wee bit Norwegian. Wife is 3 gen from county Sligo. LOVE your vids and your weather. (We hit 100+ every year) I have learning to carve and am in the process of restoring my grandads hand tools, most from around the 1880. Thanks for taking the time to show us all you do.
Just tripped across one of your shorts. Checked out your videos and found the charred hurley. Well, Minnesota, U.S.A. is home to Twin Cities Robert Emmets Hurling and Camogie club, so I had to watch.
Sooo, i got inspired by you and i bought old rusty axe head. And as i was working on it, I decided to char the handle, (i bought it cheaply in a hardware store) but apparently i didn't do i it quite right, it didn't get charred enough. But the handle is now so beautifull... Charred parts are mixing with just baked parts, and that charming grain. I have been working with wood for years now and now i got depressed, cause with my shitty skills i won't be able to make something matching what i got with that lucky shot.
The hurl looked good when you done it, Your brother seems good at the hitting and catching the ball they are hard as a rock did it not hurt his hand and you must have played a few games to, They will look nice on a wall in a pub with your name on them, cheer's and we enjoy your video's, Thank you for sharing.⚾⚒🪚🪓🪑
I’ve got a vintage hand drill that has a broken handle 🥺 I might have to send it to you, so you can help to restore it back to its former functional beauty! If you’d even want to that is haha
I subscribe today but you're content and like how you show how much time and effort you put in you may be feeling like it in fast motion but yet you can tell by just looking at everything you put what blood in tears to make it so I'm hoping to see some more stuff from you and I hope that I can like get inspired more from you to make more of my own stuff because I want to start making homemade Japanese style katanas and any other type of Norse Viking axes and I'm just also wondering are you Scottish or Irish
Eoin! Help! Can I make axe handles from branches, not much thicker than the final product handle? Or is it really important to break down a large log into the handle?
I've watched you on Facebook and UA-cam for months now, and I just realized the Facebook account probably is you? It has the same name but no links, and about 60k followers, hope you can get that sorted

You've singlehandedly convinced me to get into woodworking again, this time without any power tools

The “ball” is called a sliotar or sliothar depending on where your from in Ireland. Either way it’s pronounced Slit-er
And be able to take some pain 😩

@EvelyntMild it's not a baseball...
@@EvelyntMildThe sport kind of reminds me of lacrosse but the sticks are different
I hate that UA-cam shorts can’t send you directly to the full video. But I found it

Would quebec be the scotland of canada?
@@Kriscor01 Perhaps Nova Scotia?

The real deviation from our usual stuff was watching you in a t shirt in that last shot

All the best UA-camrs come from Ireland 🇮🇪
That was a fast sale good on ya Eoin

Great idea! I’m going to have to try that with a spare. Thanks for posting it!
you have such a chill vibe, always makes me feel good. Thx for that lad
We’ll it definitely looks way cooler! That bar keep has a good eye.

Looks amazing
Good video, thank you for making them its make a hard day a little better
YES!!! LOOKS GREAT!!!
Love your videos
Sick videos love these so much better than the shorts
After watching this video? And seeing what a Hurley, and now I want one~! 😂
Wonderful as always! as a camogie player here in the states it’s always fun to see your hurling videos!
Nice job!
Love the deviations
In the videos where you sharpen things, what is the thing you hold the diamond stone with, is it some sort of vice?

Nothing like a good char
Eoin! Help! Can I make axe handles from branches, not much thicker than the final product handle?
Or is it really important to break down a large log into the handle?
a question i have after watching the vidio on making a mallet as a starter project, is it a good idea to char a mallet?
If it doesn’t work out in practice, it will still look cool hanging artistically on a wall.
What’s up man can you tell us where you got your three sharpening stones thanks
You ever made a new handle for on of your saws or planes?
i also love the currach vids
I love your accent
When you make the Third Hurley could make a video on it showing you making and charring please? 🙏
I wonder, is the family name Hurley from the sport itself because I'm from a Roman catholic family and area and knew a great few Hurleys?
Looks class lad id buy one and im from cavan 😂
that is the most irish-woodworker-core title i've ever read
Where do you get your flat caps?
Fun watchin eoin pucking around lol
Sound lad, g'luck
How can I contact you with regards to my grandfather's wood working tools?
can i guess your from kerry in ireland
You should see if your man can play a full game with it!
I've watched you on Facebook and UA-cam for months now, and I just realized the Facebook account probably is you? It has the same name but no links, and about 60k followers, hope you can get that sorted
Are you from tipp
Гарне висло
Do you also share to Facebook if not someone is using your content
Where’s the iron band?
Thats a Proper yoke
Titanic!
I had a lad in my school we should have nicknamed him ash breaker because he broke many hurls and I say it would take a week for him to break that
By your accent you do some more Scottish than anything but yeah I hope like you may be able to give me any good ideas like for a bearded axe
You looking an apprentice?
I could have used your brother to tape my Hockey sticks 😅
🤤
Hi
I'm a big fan and I'm Irish and I love your work I'm 12 BTW
Mysoginy 🤓☝️
That Hurley is my second cousin twice removed!
JK, but it’s kinda funny I share a name with a sports item
Can you make a Hurley out of hickory, hickory is a common wood in axe handles & golf clubs, & even baseball bats.
They are almost always made out of ash, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it.
I can't not say hurley in a bad Irish accent while adding a "durley" to the end of it.
This video makes me want to hurl… I’ll see myself out
Sup
