Some of the best content on the entire internet is found here. Useful, insightful, peaceful, and humorous. Who needs TV when you have Wranglerstar?
Sir: I just moved from suburban life in Colorado to Coeur d'Alene area with 50 acres. We are about the same age and I'm finding your video VERY informative. I too now carry my G19 around the ranch with me. Your forest stewardship series were very informative. I have alot of work to do but I'm looking forward to it. Thank you!
I absolutely agree with you, I simply don't understand how people can throw away things that can be fixed. Or how they get themselves to produce inferior quality products. I am a university student and I study industrial design in Europe. Whenever there is a design assignment most are really surprised by my tendency to overbuild things and some even have a problem with it. But some people just don't get it, I want the things I make to be good and last a long time. I want my makers mark (still have to get one) on the products I will design and make with confidence and pride. And if something were to be wrong with them, I would take responsibility and do everything I could to fix it so people know I stand behind everything I make. People need pride, patience and accountability, which leads to high-quality products.
And to add: that is one badass shovel!
This is probably one of the most enjoyable videos I have watched a long time and would love too see more in this format
It was very peaceful to have no talking just music and video of the process allowing the viewer to watch the progress and figure out how things are being done for them selves and take in the information properly
True story that ending earned you a subscriber. We live in a disposable era.
I buy old and refurbish because old lasts
Wise words. We need more people in the world like you. Your skill and work ethic is an inspiration. Beautiful job with the shovel.
+B Steele Thank you
Yeah Game of Shovels
Sir Cody of House Wranglestar.
lol I noticed the game of thrones music… Had to read the comments to find other people saying it 😂
Welll said Cody, I have a good friend who used to be a gravedigger, he still has the same spade after 25yrs, I used it to dig a trench in english chalkland, 25mtrs long, 2mtrs deep, its as if the spade was magical, great tool. Although he did teach me how to step my dig and be economical with my energy. This man can turn his hand to anything, and the one thing he always says is what I learned when I was a young apprentice 50yrs ago, your name is on the job and if a job its worth doing well, We used to get hit with our journeymans flat cap which was usually embedded with metal from welding and such if we didnt do a job proparly, of course that was in Glasgow, Scotland 50yrs ago. Pride in your work and handshake dont seem to mean nothing nowadays. Grumpy ol me. I gave a young freind of mine a pair of stilson grips last year which had my Grandfathers initials on them, drop forged in America, they still work, he would use them more than me and I am sure my grandad would have approved.
Damn straight it's worth the time to take care of or repair old tools, vehicles, what have you. My vehicles last me 250-300,000 miles. My wood working tools have been handed down from my grandfather and some from his father. Axes, chainsaws, boat motors, etc. Hardly anything I own is less than 20yrs old,,,, and work as well as new. But then I'm in my mid-fifties, and wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth so I had to make do with what I could find that I could fix.
I have to interject here as I feel strongly on the matter. EVERY generation has slackers and people who just wanna do a job the fast and easy way. It's not just this generation that is currently being brought up that has these traits. Maybe there are more of these types of people then there where but the breed of do it right no matter the cost is not dead, and it annoys me to hear people talk as if these types of people where born in the 60's - 80's and another one hasn't been made since. Because it just isn't true, I've not done much with wood working (not since shop in the 8th-10th grade) but I spend hours upon hours building computers, and building them right, and the aspect of doing EVERY job the right way was born from my love of working on computers and software. Now I learn how to do it the right way and not just the fastest way because I learned that doing it right the first time saves me time down the road.
+Onizuka Sensei i totally agree
+Onizuka Sensei I agree totally. I work in the plumbing department of a major diy store. I cannot tell you how many elderly and middle aged people just want the quick fix and not the long term solution. it is much cheaper to do it right the first time and avoid the plumbers charges than to half ass it and eventually need to get the pros.
I work in the medical field. I put my name on everything I do. Unfortunately, it also lets people know who to sue. For better or worse, there it is, and it does make me take my work more seriously when I know other healthcare professionals will see who did that work and it will add or subtract from my good reputation. My ancestors where pioneers. They said, "Use it up, wear it out, make due or do without." and I live by that philosophy. Thanks for putting up the video. The shovel at my mom's house has a handle that will snap at any minute. Now that my dad is gone I didn't know how to fix it. Thank you for posting this video. As an aside, Wragnlerstar has nearly a quarter of a million subscribers as of this writing. I think it's fair to say that a need to care for things instead of consume them, resonates with a lot of other people. Good stuff.
Those that do work like you are frankly artists to me. This was a great restoration- kept the inscriptions and everything.
This is the first time in my life I have ever coveted another man's shovel ... I'm not sure what sort of person that makes me?!?
Great work. My grandfather told me once that the only thing in this world that's belongs to us is our word. Once you lye, cheat, cuss, or say anything wrong, we loose our word. And it takes a long time if not ever to get it back. THat came at a time and a generation when he didn't have to sign a contract to buy something, his word was good enough and he never went back on his word. Somethign i have never forgoteen to this day. and something i make sure my kids know and understand. This goes to the subjet of ownership. We do a job, then we have to stand behind the work. ANd sadly, at every level I have seen people not standing behind their work. In the end we will be judged by our work here on earth, not just by man, but by God.
your great grandfather was correct. I miss those folks.we need to instill that in our young ones, and not make excuses as to why we cant..may your family be blessed.
My Granddad takes care of the grounds at his church cemetery. People leave behind steel wreath stands. He collects them for me so I can use them to make things.
Great video, I just finished my first splitting maul handle replacement, that hickory is some tough wood, wish I had that workshop.
Anyway, a good shovel is hard to find. As suggested by Cody, garage sales are great places to find old tools, so look around. My grandfather’s CCC Camp shovel (Civilian Conservation Corps 1930s-early 40s) is almost magical like someone mentioned below...it goes through tough soil and roots like no other shovel I own..pretty incredible and something to hold on to for sure.
I respect Cody’s view to fix tools, I was blessed with a vast collection from my grandfathers tools, its though for us “young brats” lol to replace things - us city slickers need videos like this to teach us and also I think (mentioned below) that a lack of a work station and workshop is another reason we tend to dispose of items. That being said you can still replace handles without a vast workshop, good hardware stores sell great hoe and shovel replacement kits you can work on in your backyard with just a couple tools - so, no excuse! Watch videos like this, accumulate a good tool arsenal and learn to self sustain - totally agree.
I agree with you 100%. Keep the videos coming. Nice shovel too BTW
Good video, the disposal culture must be stopped. Good quality tools can be maintained indefinitely, I use tools to pay my mortgage my grandfather used to feed the family. Garbage should be avoided at all cost because it ultimately costs more! And bad tools can hurt people. Love the videos. Thank you
This was my first Wranglerstar video i ever saw and it has inspired me to restore and repair my own hand tools now. thank you for showing a proper job Cody. you have truely been a File to help sharpen my knowledge.
The "forged" pins you made are most excellent Cody! Thanks for sharing this. I had never thought about making such a simple fastener myself.
I agree that a quality shovel like that deserves a quality new handle, but I can understand why people would often replace shovels today: no shovel you buy at a typical modern hardware store is forged with quality steel. They are all stamped and pressed crap steel which might last through two handles before cracking. Also, I am wary of the quality of replacement handles from hardware stores. There are far too many Chinawood handles out there. On that note, where does one buy a quality replacement handle today?
Start by finding a local source, if you can, for the right timber my choice is white ash timber or hickory if you must and if you can get one that was split out rather than sawed out of the tree so much the better. so search for a saw mill that air dries it's wood too
drawvenmusket I appreciate the advice, but that might be difficult considering the less than ubiquitous nature of sawmills in my area. I did however pass by an old-fashioned lumber yard I had never known about the other day, so I'll have to stop by there soon. That's usually a good place to find something worthwhile.
I am a mechanic by trade.I have lots of tools and I must admit I was VERY unorganized at the start. And over the years I have been working to keep my tool box in order,
and now I notice I try to be more organized in other things in my life.
It's a great place to start.
and as for the topic of Accountability (The world needs a lot more of it).
If we all would keep a even a mental note. A makers mark on the type of job we do.
you know, apply that kind of theory into there lives... might help... Just a thought
My man,I love this point of view,Enjoy the journey my friend.
great value in restoring/maintaing equipment, but your comments at the end had even greater value.
thanks--handyman--varty lake canada
definitely my favorite upload video you have done so far out of 389 Mr.Wranglerstar, not only because the shovel was made in ireland, but the craftsmanship, dedication and love of Restoration of old tools that you expel is amazing and i do love nothing better than a good shovel....thumbs up from ireland sir :)
~regards from your number 1 irish veiwer

IT'S THE GAME OF THRONES SONG!
as always...you never cease to inspire me.
It is 5:18AM. I've been watching old Wranglerstar videos for the past six hours. Bed time?... not yet.. a few more =D
First off, I'd like to say that I love these videos. I'm a mechanic, and believe that tools have, in some sense, a soul. This is carried by the maker and the love put into these tools. I find that the older tools, I.e. lathes, drill presses,mills, and even the smaller tools such as what you refurbish hold and maintain a quality that we for whatever reason, don't care to apply in this country anymore. Now, not in all cases, but in most. This kills me. It makes me proud to see that you, still care
Another thing that is wrong with our generation is the youtubers. Gamers are always the popular ones. The decent and inspiring people like Cody who actualy do something real in life are always very underrated youtubers. It always bothered me.
I watch Cody's videos everyday since the day i subscribe
I live beside the shop that made your shovel
I still have the hatchet my dad made when I was a child. He cut the hammer part off an old Coleman shingling hatchet, reshaped the head a bit, and fashioned a handle out of an ash wood limb. I used that hatchet just about every single day for about ten years. When I moved, he gave it to my brother, who in turn gave it back to me years later. I need to replace the handle, and will do a quality job of it. And that tool will be with me until the day I die! Great video, thanks for sharing!
The other side of the rivet was formed before being installed to the handle. I rounded both sides with a hand file.
Game of Thrones theme? Love it!
Thank you! I might not have been able to figure it out, but I just knew I'd heard this before somewhere else :)
+Sally Hansen Glad to help...such a great show!!
I like the game of thrones theme song!
I haven't ever commented on your videos, but have watched a bunch of them. This is probably my favorite in your selection! It impresses me to see the care that you take in your tools and the work you do. You are definitely an inspiration to me. Keep up the good work!
I couldn't agree more, I had a Joiner recently do some work me because I was too busy running my own shop to do it myself and his response to me when I called him out on why the walls weren't plumb and the window wasn't level was "You never said it needed to be...." Couldn't believe it! I just thought that should be implied. Love your methodical "Do it right" approach. I just subscribed very recently. Thank You.
I love the game of thrones theme song music you used hahaha
I like the game of thrones theme on the guitar :)
I have two FSS shovels. Perhaps I should shoot a more in depth video restoring the second. I was concerned that no one would be interested in a guy replacing a shovel handle let alone a second video. Yes I glass beaded the shovel head. You can do the same thing with a wire brush and some elbow grease.
Thank you.
if only every body was like you :)
Cody. Never watch the Red Green show.
Who has not been irritated with the poor quality of gardening tools these days, thank for a great video on how to bring back an Old Faithful. Not every one has a shop to do half of what you show on this video, yet it is very inspirational and appreciated it greatly. thank a lot.
I took your idea to heart. I had two FSS shovels that needed new handles. I am uploading a more detailed video replacing the second handle.
Y is these old videos not on your channel anymore you have to search for em
What you talked about at the end is the reason why america is no longer the greatest country in the world. We have become slackers and compliant where no one cares they just throw it away. Keep up the good work Cody.
Thor214 you don't have to try.........
Thor214 if you are not aware the U.S. (not America, false term of media) is circling the drain, you have greater diversions and distractions too be questioning anyone measure of economic leadership...
Game of Thrones?
Thanks for bringing me back to this Mr. Wranglerstar, one of your best videos to date!
Thanks you Wranglerstar for the nice videos! I have learned alot of new stuff from all of your videos! I just wanted to thank you for that.
Colossians 3:23 (NIV) Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters,
I should be doing French homework
+DrLeperchaun Dog ate your homework?
Wranglerstar lol, Exactly, lets go with that.
+DrLeperchaun Trust me,this lesson will stay with you alot longer while instilling forgotten skills+values.Thanks,Wranglerstar..
I should be revising for pretty much every mock for every subject. But fuck it.
Using that kind on language proves that you've missed the point of the video. Your actions and speech speak to your character.
Excellent video. I wish I lived next to you and had a shop like that. Just watching your videos has changed the way I look at things.thank you and keep them coming.
I was taught to replace handles on tools. It is satisfying to use a tool that you fixed. It was good to see you checking the grain in the wood My mentor in tool repair would be pleased you found the strongest point, but then you knew that. I once found in a scrap pile a flat point shovel that was stamped by a railroad all it needed was a new handle. It was made of high quality metal. Another reason to repair the old tools, many of them are made of good quality metal. Thanks!
You're right. But getting the next generation to DO it right, instead of the faster easier way is almost impossible, even after bringing them up right. We have a generation of snot-nosed self-centered brats today. sigh.
Annie Gaddis And who's fault is it we have snot nosed self centered brats? It's you and I.
wranglerstar
This is why I will have my 11 old daughter and 8 year old son helping replace those shovel handles and other replacing/restoring jobs. Just a side note, I have an old hoe and 2 pitchforks that my Grandma used through out her life, but I retired them since she has passed on. They are hanging in my garage as a remembrance to her and her uncle. Thank you again for your videos, you are another motivating factor in my life!!
And it's people like you that are to blame
wranglerstar You're a smart man my good sir.
wranglerstar
not only. It is the society that changed. Goods have become so cheap today. Thats what ruined the keeping of the old.
not everyone has the time to fix up an ax or shovel,i need to dig a hole, not create an air loom
I think that is the very point he's trying to make. That the very problem with society today starts with the notion that you can just throw something away and buy the cheapest replacement. That it would be better if more people took the time restore, maintain, and generally appreciate higher quality tools. Perhaps, that we should take care with with all our things, and our quality of life may well improve as a result.
You may have missed the point, but are a fine example. By the way, it's spelled heirloom, not "air loom".
I understand BUT don't down grade people that don't have 4 hours in a day to make a shovel handle
Again, misspelled. It's not down grade, BUT rather downgrade; one word. It's also a poor choice of words. Downgrade more often refers to a reduction in quality or performance of thing, or a reduction in rank of say military personnel. Disparage, perhaps, might be a better choice.
Though, yet again, you miss the point of the original video. The lesson, he is trying to get across is that, maybe, you should take the time. Not just with an old shovel, but other aspects of your life. And that if you do, habitually, may just realize rewards that go beyond restoring an old shovel. You might even value time, that you find in such short supply, differently.
Or, if you insist, not.
Just thought I'd make the wild suggestion you don't disparage (downgrade) the author, his video, or his message here, on his channel.
Most people just need to turn the TV off.
Whenever I feel stuck in my city Life, I look through your channel.
It Always brings me some peace of mind!
Great Advice!
Your message at the end really motivated me. I am starting by keeping my apartment organized. I have noticed that my work is disorganized when my desk or apartment is. Thank you.
Great video! And most importantly - the right (proper) approach to the instrument!
what a great job! thanks for linking back to this. i hadnt seen it before.
I don't usually like many videos but I genuinely liked this video.
I like the great filming of the process behind restoring the shovel, and the fact that you didn't have to say a word speaks for itself.
I also like the message at the end; it really resonated with me.
Thank you, Cody (wranglerstar)
I must say, Jeff referred me.
Great video. I love your tool restorations, they are inspiring.
I've addressed this in the comments below.
i really appreciated this video i am interested to know would the pins be considered a hot rivet?
I come from a long line of craftsmen, as a matter of fact I broke the line with my college degrees and office job. However, I still have tools that date to the 1800s, some that relatives hand made. I cherish those and use them still today with the little knowledge I picked up watching my father, uncles and brother all applying their craft. I even have shovels that I can tell that someone years ago repaired. I think your videos have become very important to me and my son as we try to dupl them.
Great job Cody. Always a pleasure to see a master at work. Love the restorations.
Thanks for the vid and the instruction. I can honestly say that I love doing a good day's work, but your video's have made me look again at the tools I use and how they're cared for.Well done and keep up the good work.
I really enjoyed this and wish you had shown more on making the handle! I am so embarrassed by my tools and hope to get them repaired this winter in my shop!!
Great work as always! Your words and stance on quality and personal responsibility at the end are so very important!
I feel your pain and confusion....
Recently I broke my short handle spade...the metal split. I know I could replace it with a new one, but it will be cheaper and more satisfying if I repair it myself. Thanks Cody for ALL of the fix-it videos....they are very helpful. Keep up the excellent work that you do..
I found your channel about 2 weeks ago and I have watched almost ever single one. After watching youtube videos for years, this is my very first comment. You are simply an inspiration. My God continue to bless you and your family.
it just always amazes me how bright and new the tools you restore become with just a little elbow grease
Can you use a propane torch to preheat those pin ends that you're flattening? Or do you have to use something hotter, like an acetylene torch?
Where do you recommend getting the replacement handles? I need to do this to a couple of my grandfathers old shovels. Thanks
Yes you can. You can still buy them from Council Tool. A FSS shovel complete will run around $105
I know that this was posted over a year ago but the message is something that I needed to be reminded of. I have a Cruiser axe that I'm going to make a handle for from an ash log that was going to was destined to be firewood. Thanks!
I love seeing old tools restored. I just found a FSS Pulaski and put a new handle on it.
Keep making these videos, they are great!
Of all your videos this is my favourite video, Ive watched it a few times and love how much of your heart you put into everything you do. Keep up the good work!
This is a great video, and your message at the end is even better than your craftsmanship. I am using your video in a training session today at work as we continue to talk about quality and doing the right thing. Thanks.
Wranglerstar this is how I got most of my handled tools.. I grew up on a farm and when I needed a maul , shovel, three pound hammer sledge hammer , ect. I went threw the old barn found one broken and disgarded. Made our bought a new handle and these tools became mine and I like them more because they are part of me now they have my workmanship in them...Great vid !!!
I am contractor in Massachusetts and I do repair my tools. Most of my hand tools has been given to me. shovel, rake, etc we have history together. These tools have put food on a table for me and my family. I definitely understand this gentleman.
Great video Sir,I’m using your tips to restore my grandfather’s shovel, new handle, sharpening, etc..🇺🇸
Well done. Great work on the shovel, and video. I particularly enjoyed the music, and unique camera angles.
As usual, your commentary at the end is spot on. For any reasonable person that watches your videos, you are making a positive difference in them and making society as a whole just a little bit better. I wish more people had the opportunity to hear your message, and take it to heart.
Is hickory still the preferred wood for a shovel handle?
Great looking shovel restoration. Good job Wranglerstar!
Thank you
What a beautiful present you received and you honored it by the care you took to restore it properly.
Great video and display of craftsmanship. And very well said at the end there too.
What do you think about fixing a wood handle instead of replacing it?
I have fixed lots of handles using steel pins, epoxy, construction adhesive, sometimes ill make an epoxy collar wrap with a section of welding blacket... Ive even screwed axe heads back on with 12 inch timberlock screws predriled through the head and center of the handle
I am 15 years old, live in the city, and agreed with everything you said in this video, I have spent countless hours loving and taking care of a 1940's craftsman axe that my grandpa gave me, and since then I have learned what doing a good job and caring is all snout
ya know, i just joined this channel and it seems to be up my alley
I've watched A LOT of your videos the past few weeks ( I just found you! cut me some slack) This has to be one of the coolest videos you've made. Shovel turned out great, wonderful job!
I watched this old video this morning just because of the title. The shovel definitely should have been restored. You can't find a decent shovel anymore it seems. I have done a good bit of shovel work in my life and there absolutely is value in a quality shovel when you have to use it very much. You will feel the difference. Fine craftsmanship on your part for the restoral. The comments from viewers are sad. Our next generation is a direct reflection on our values. Both the ones we teach, and the ones we model.
I came across a broken shovel yesterday and thought about repairing it. I came to the conclusion that a handle would cost as much as a new shovel so I canned the idea. After all it was just a regular store-bought shovel. Clearly the one you repaired fell into an entirely different category. I appreciate that your theme might have been the throw-away society we live in, but I wish that instead of music you had really detailed the repair process. For example, while I could see what you did to the first side of the pins. What you did to the other end remains a mystery to me. Keep up the good work!
Hey Cody, great stuff as usual. Could the rivets be done with a propane plumbers torch ( what temp is needed)? Also is there a particular type pf paint you are using on the implements?
Have you been to Harbor Freight lately?
I am glad I found your channel. I am a plumber by trade but now I am corporate management. I see this everyday, people wanting to do a easy, short lasting fix and I try to show them how a long lasting fix is better. Most of what I try to teach them falls on deaf ears.
could you tell me what the pins that you heated up and hammered into the shovel head are called? I have my grandfathers old grain shovel that I am wanting to restore.
amazing amount of care you put into your tool resto.
THANK YOU FOR ALL THE TOOL BUILD/REPAIR VIDEOS.
You are awesome! I think I will make it my new years resolution to follow through with some of the topics you have pointed out. Thank you for taking the time.
Over the years, the production quality has greatly increased, but I can still see the same passion.
