Hello Fellow... man I want to send out a big thank you. I am in need to fix my loose hatchet head. This tool is dear to me so It had to be done correctly. Your video and explanation was very helpful. Good stuff!
i do like that u show how u went wrong in setting the wedge. that helps alot more than just telling us how u can go wrong
I know this has been said before, but I can't begin to tell you how helpful you are in making these videos Cody. God bless you.
Cody just did a 2023 clip on fixing a lose axe head. Then this old classic was recommended. Had to re watch it. Gluing the wedge vs a stepped wedge would be a interesting comparison
I love that you show when you mess up. Too many youtubers over edit to make themselves look perfect. I learn more from mistakes. Thank
I, for one, would rather see two or three parts with all of your comments, than only one part without all the additional information! Keep up the good work!
I am so jealous of you "old school" lifestyle! Unfortunately I live in a city where you can't do what you get to do. I love you videos and it's a lot of fun to get to watch(and learn) how to fix things and make them better like you do.
Personally, I like to leave the handle protruding out the top of my tools after refitting. It's a nice add of character and shows it's age and heritage.
my comment on the first video shows my ignorance. i have learned 2 new things today. thanks for the great video.
Wranglerstar I know at times you say you wish you did more takes for your videos but everything you say truly does have so much value and you are packed full of information. Don't sell yourself short! (not that you do often, just a simple piece of advice I may offer :P)
Great video ! I have watch several in the past week or so ! It seems u have great knowledge , and a great skill of explaining it ! So I had to subscribe . Keep up the great work
By all means... keep going "on and on and on" I enjoy every moment... and it appears other do as well... keep up the great work! and thank you!
I don't mind if there are multiple videos to accomplish the job and do it the proper way. If I simply wanted some sort of answer regardless of it's value, there are other channels (mostly from some sort of misnomer village....)
Personally, I have an old axe from my granddad that has a loose head but nothing too major and have been putting the project onto the back burner until winter when I have more time for projects like these. I am happy to try this instead of getting rid of an otherwise fine axe handle and one that has a lot of sentiment to me as well.
More great info. Thanks, W.
I love the background in the epilogue, too. There's just something cool about it.
Great videos, thank you for your wealth of knowledge.
really like your how to videos . I like that if you got to start over you do
Down here in Louisiana the humidity so high (not uncommon 65% to 80%) any wooden handled tools really not a problem of loosen up. Leave in the shed for some time all the wood just swells up so very much it like it welded on. Now on the other hand, take a wooded handled hand tool from Louisiana to Nevada it be so dry out there it probably fall off the first swing. Musicians have this problem with reeds and wooden instruments, like Guitars from Louisiana to Desert states they will crack and split after just several years.
New Coaxsher pants too! Great vids on reseeting a head! Thanks!
What timing you have. I was just helping split wood for a friend with a wood burning stove and 2 splitting mauls had loose heads. I can fix them now, thanks!
This guy is great.
Thank you for once again sharing the truth - things don't always go to plan. Believe it or not that's a good thing - it's the only way to learn! :)
iiiiinpuut, IIIINNNPUT!! keep the information coming!
Great video Cody. I recently bought my first container of boiled linseed oil and boy does it smell! Maybe it's different over here in west Europe but it seems to be helping my new hatchet very well. Just a query, but how deep does the linseed oil actually seep in, because I've observed that when you rasp away material at the shoulder it seems to be raw wood? Also at about 4:30 you can see some linseed oil drip onto the floor:P just a heads up
GREAT VIDEO
Keep sharing!
I have 2 old axes with slightly loose heads. I want to recondion them. One in the1980s I was suppossed to soak it overnight in the bathtub so the wood swelled. Reconditioning is tightening the head, sharpening the head, mayme even painting it and sanding and staining and coating the handle.. and / or some good tennis or weightlifting tape too for grip. I have 2 old ones want to work and look great. A wiggly head is not good. lol
Keep the information coming.
:)
As you said and I'm paraphrasing, "It's all fun and games until someone puts their eye out."
More information is a good thing, no matter how long it takes. I couldn't tell you how to do an Izuzu frame recall in one video (their instructions left alot to be desired as well lol). All I can say is that if it takes you more than one video that is fine with me, less chance of having something left out that could be important
Go "on & on" as much as you like, W.
Do you know the brand or what year era that that maul head is from? I am very certain I have the same one
I like the Lego Wild-land firefighter that popped up!
I've wondered if it could possibly be someone's profile pic. Like its somebody he is calling out? Lol.
My father said to use antifreeze on the head of the handle because it will not evaporate. What do you think of that?
How do you know what size wedge you need for your axe?
When setting the head is the axe free floating or do you have a jig or brace providing resistance to the head?
JCrook1028 Thanks
@@WOLFMAN1469 Hey Mr. What was the answer to this question? I would also like to know but cant see the reply from Wranglerstar. Thank you in advance.
@@MananZer0 He didnt reply, I think my reply was to "good question". Freefloat though, hes driving the handle into the head but its a bit of a skilled move as the head already needs to be well secured on the handle even before wedging.
@@WOLFMAN1469 I hold axe, head upright and hammer handle onto the hard surface , same process just using ground as hammer
Why not use a C clamp to close the kerf in the handle before you start sliding the head on? Once it's started, remove the clamp, and continue the installation.
Did you cut the kerf lower? The bucket trick doesn't work, I know from first hand experience.
Hey Cody, great video! I've always wondered why people paint half the handle of axes and mauls black? Is this a style choice or is there some other reason, thank you :)
So that they come home with him at the end of the day. So he knows it's his.
What kind of knife do u have in this video
We had an old timer steam bolierman on a since retire steam powered pile driver that used to put all the pilebucks top mauls and rafting axes in a bucket of anti-freeze... all the guys that worked on that pile driver swore by this trick... said something about the antifreeze keeping the wood swelled. Have you ever heard of this??
Can someone tell me why one doesn't run into the risk of pushing out the handle out again (while hammering the wedge into the freely suspended handle)?
Uhg, there's that Bahco in the back....
At 6.11 when you were driving the wedge in the handle, I see that you put the axe in the vise and the other end of the handle was not bottomed on the ground, I feel that driving in the wedge was also driving out the handle which you drove in so intelligently by using the inertia of rest of the axe head floating in air.. I would have bottomed the handle rather than put the axe in the vise( vice in English).
Yeah that part was unclear. It was probably explained in part 5 of the video...
I can't tell if the hammer he uses to pound in the handle is just a hard polymer head or a dead blow hammer.
Not a bad thing and you may have heard it before but you remind me of Mr. Rogers
What with the lego guy that flashed on the screen?
I heard BLO is toxic unless it's polymerizing linseed oil or just raw linseed oil/flax seed oil.
I prefer rounded maul sledge hammer type handles.
To the single bit axe handles when the handle breaks just weld in a piece of scedual 40 pipe.
Haven't used a maul in 30 years since I bought a log splitter.
Have one in the shop with a chevy truck axle welded in it loaned it out several times always comes back unbroken.
Was not like that when it had a wooden handle.
WHO DISLIKES THESE?! WHY ARE YOU HERE THEN!?!
'slow down" kody safety first !
Water is for an emergency, survival situation. Boiled Linseed Oil is a way better choice when you got time. If people keep arguing about water, they are trying to cut corners and save a dime.
You need some new vise jaws.
At 4.57 why is there a what lookalike a Lego character in fire gear
i clicked on it and it took me to a diffrent video
Hunter Golden No it didn't... (shush)
What was with the Lego man
Where is part 1
Can I cut small trees down with the splitting mall ?
4:51?????
Oh Man! A week too late for me!
I may or may not have tried dipping the handle in water before seeing this.... oops
There's nothing wrong with soaking an axe in water to tighten the handle. That's how I fix loose handles on all my wooden handle tools.
has the club now closed, did not seem to work....
Works fine for me... :o)
Matt Allen been blocked and dont know why. my 8yr old daughter is so upset. why would he do this as i have never posted a bad comment....
Jakob Rebeki Oh that's a shame... maybe an accident? I imagine that it could be rectified...
Matt Allen i asked but still no reply....
Jakob Rebeki
I can only imagine that one voice in hundreds a day is extremely hard to hear... I'd keep persevering if I were you and perhaps try him on facebook and or google+ ... :o)
Why do you "see if you can't" do something? Wouldn't you rather see if you can?
It just sounds like you're always saying the glass is half empty. Love the videos though, but I've been getting distracted by that.
Just stick it in a bucket of water…
