    the tooth pattern on that Japanese Pull Saw is so cool! I have not seen that before but it looks very good for cutting

    • @Zedoutdoors
      @Zedoutdoors  Рік тому +1

      Hi Nathan, yes they work in a pull fashion as opposed to push with western saws, and they come in all sizes for different uses ~Peace~

    • @josephsteffen2378
      @josephsteffen2378 Рік тому

      Yeah, they are an epiphany. Those saws are very thin and cut a narrow kerf. Historically, Western saws have been fat(do to the rough metallurgy, a century ago) . A Western saw can take brutal abuse and survive, but requires more energy to cut and push out all of those chips. The thin Japanese kerf with sharp teeth results in a saw that almost "slices" through a board. Try one out!

    I lived on working farm in Canada over well 40 yrs ago where we split all of our heating wood. Of course, handles would succumb to novice splitters like myself. I was tasked with making new handles from local cut ash and Ironwood (hop hornbeam). This was my first opportunity to learn working with wood at age 18. Hatchets, draw knives, spoke-shaves, and rasps were all employed. We would cut the rough blanks from green wood, then place them in the barn with fresh hay for a year to cure. This really brings back memories. Thanks Peter and Zed.

    • @Zedoutdoors
      @Zedoutdoors  3 роки тому

      Thats awesome to hear and shaping hornbeam must have been tough going! ~Peace~

  • @bobrees4363
    @bobrees4363 3 роки тому +3

    The tapering of the facets on the ax handle make sense to me from an ergonomic standpoint. There is a reason so many wooden tool handles from the past were octagon in shape. Anyone who has ever driven a nail with an antique claw hammer should immediately understand. Very nice video, thanks guys.

    • @Zedoutdoors
      @Zedoutdoors  3 роки тому

      Peter's simply sharing what he feels has worked for him and the many carvers who use his axes. Esp considering he's made hundreds of axes and is a very proficient carver himself. At the end of the day you go for what works for you ~Peace~

  • @johnmutton799
    @johnmutton799 6 місяців тому

    When using Japanese saws, only pull the saw to cut, it is more controlled. And as for the details you put into the handle. Well done sir! If I was to buy another axe, it would certainly be one of yours. Excellent workmanship! To soak the handle in oil, long plant pots, window pots are ideal for this!

    Excellent video, very informative, and I happen to have found it right when I will get the most use from it. I can't say I deal with carving axes or bearded axes in general, but I have recently been trying to mill my own handles from oak, which I have running out of my ears. I'm a carpenter by trade and cut trees down for people who I know that need them gone but can't afford the often exorbitant prices that many arborists charge, so the wood I'm looking to use ranges from very green to actually having been sitting in my garage for a year or so drying out, I feel like this info has been very helpful, not to mention informative, to me. I have messed a few handles up, from hatchet handles, to hammer and maul, to splitting ace handles. Although I can make them work they've been missing something, which I hope has been cleared up now from watching a true professional and hearing the reasoning behind every curve and swell I'm a handle. Thank you both for the time and major effort which was put into this video. You've at least won a subscriber if nothing else

    excellent video Zed, excellent work, everything is shown in detail, three weeks ago he was just making a handle for an ax for chopping wood when he broke an old bet for work, but it was already really old and was somewhat spoiled from moisture, and the workloads were serious , in general, I had to do it quickly, as a result, I did it and I split the firewood, I like making handles for the tool, adjusting everything for convenience, experimenting with the shape, looking for a more comfortable one.

    • @Zedoutdoors
      @Zedoutdoors  3 роки тому

      Hi Andrew I appreciate your kind words and for watching thank you. Indeed all that matters is that the handle works best for your needs and preferences, the beauty with wood is that you can reshape as much as is needed. Stay well my friend ~Peace~

      Hi David, the metal and wooden wedges both do the same thing, the reason why the wooden wedge is preferred is becuase they are typically easier to remove if adjustment is needed on the handle fitting ~Peace~

    Any chance we can get a pattern to download to make our own? It's not feasible to order a handle from the UK for me. Thank you

      Alas there's no pattern you can download, Peter has shared everything he can in this video so you can customise it to fit your needs ~Peace~

    I want me one of them axes, just beautiful, and d*mn when you took that axe to the cherry, we're talking Luke's light saber level of cutting. Maybe Obi Wan's light carving axe? Naw, doesn't sound right.
    BUT I have so many wants that will never be fulfilled. Guess I'm stuck with my seventeen dollar Fiskars hatchet with like a 2" blade (that I just cratered to h*ll debarking an oak log that some cheeky b*st*rd put a couple nails into without my knowledge - managed to cut the head off one of the nails with the Fiskars hatchet before I realized there wasn't some supernatural force bonding the bark to the log).
    Thank you Zed, as always. The first time I saw one of your videos, many years ago now, but even then you were rather late to youtube bushcraft, I was like "who is this shnoz, and what is going on with this guy?" I was a bit skeptical, to be sure, but from the get go, I was hooked on your polite mannerism and delivery, so to speak, and since then I've derived so many wonderful hours of relaxation and enjoyment from all of your videos filmed from idyllic locations (I live in a high desert, we don't even have trees here, or water, for that matter), with really cool, humble, inspirational people. I've also learned so much from all of your vids, last birthday I bought a little Mora spoon and carving knife, after making do with Companions for a decade or more, and have managed to carve several spoons with holes in the bowls, F- for me, but A+ for you mate, you're top notch.
    And thanks to Peter, if it weren't for OCD, insane b*st*rds like you, and Zed, and me, I guess, how much beauty and competency would pass from the world? The world would surely be even worse, which is hard to imagine. So, thanks for sharing your insight and experience. This is a video I will undoubtedly watch many times over to wring all of the value out of your instruction. Thanks again.

      Normally his axe heads are hand forged in Hungary, in this particular video it was made by a British blacksmith ~Peace~

    Mostly a carving axe is held at the top of the haft .it was great until the electric sander came out! Kind of ruined all that hand tool work?

    • @Zedoutdoors
      @Zedoutdoors  Рік тому

      A carving axe is not always held at the top of the haft, the idea is to use different parts of the handle depending on what style of cut you are doing. Reg the sander, he's more than capable of doing it by hand, however, the purpose of this video is to show the process he uses when making these in batches. Being a Puritan doesn't always help pay bills when making these for a living ~Peace~

      @Zedoutdoors ah yeah sorry ,I use a carpenter's for the roughing out and then a carving, didn't get the multiple production 👍
