Jeff, there are a ton more us out there than you might think that take pride in making things we need and doing for ourselves rather than buying everything from a box store or online. I've been following you and Hannah for years now and creating your own channel is a stroke of genius. You are who ole Bocephus had in mind when he sang..."A country boy can survive" Your new channel has quickly become my favorite!!! Just keep on being Jeff Barron and makin your interesting and informative videos and your channel followers will grow. "If you build it (and you do...really well)...they will come".
This is a real man's show. Here I am stuck working on a laptop laying in bed writing legal pleadings for work - BUT for 15 minutes I can be transported into Jeff's world. And love every second of it. Thank you Jeff. I''ll be a life-long subscriber!
Nice to see young men still using their hands and effort to create beautiful things............I'm 65 and have been all my life and I just hope even younger men take up after you Jeff.......nice work !!!!
Jeff says: "Call me sentimental, but I like doing stuff myself." SO HONEST AND SINCERE - How can anyone not totally love this guy?!?!?!? Jeffs da man....
Jeff, in my view it is men just like you that are the true heartbeat of American. Men that don't look for reasons why they can't do something but resourceful men that find the means to get things done in life. It isn't any wonder your little girl is as amazing as well. Look who she had as a role model!
Jeff thank you and Hanna for being so kind to share your life and your time with us.lm sure you receive money. But it my opinion they dont pay you enough. So l've been with y'all for about 5 months. I will continue as long as yall will have m. God bless and thanks. This is Mike Arterbury. Im 67 years old.
When I was growing up, most folks in my family made all their own handles for all tools that needed one. You are right, whenever you go to use that tool, you will remember making that handle.
Jeff you show people the way things have been done for hundreds of years. We didn't always have the conveniences of stores and or money to always buy stuff. Many of us had to use our mind and hands and skills to provide things we need for ourselves and our families. Thank you for taking the time to show how us poor country folks get things done. ( Country boys will survive)
You are helping a lota people out there . It is hard to find men these days that understand , hard work and common sense, makes the job a whole lot smother. Yet it is good entertainment to watch a feller across the way try and do some thing he hasent a clue fer. For example my neighbor the doctor, got himself a new jeep, we found him out on the hill side stuck spinning the wheels. Called him and he said he was going to call a tow truck, went over to see if I could help.he showed me all the wheels do is spin , the 2 rears , so I leaned in and flipped a toggle and said try again , he stomped the paddle to the metal and off like a heard of wild buffalo the little jeep learched up the hill and never even slipped another rear tire . Followed him to the dirt roads then showed him how to engage the 4x4. Smart guy like him and didn't know what 4x4 meant. This
Making handles was my Dad's winter project. He kept a piece of hickory hanging in the shop. In Kentucky,when snow was on the ground, he'd be in his unheated shop making handles for everything. I went thru a spell, around 11 or 12, where I'd break anything. Kept him and that drawknife busy! I learned how to make them too. 65 and can still do it!! Thanks,Jeff
Jeff, ain’t nothin boring about what y’all are doin, keep goin, You remind me of me, 20-30 years ago lol, stay the course. Ya all raised up a good young un, polite, professional and with a plan. God, Country n Family, protect it or loose it! I love the fact y’all can say what needs being said without cussin or carrying on like a jack a$$, God bless a country man! Keep it simple, y’all rock!... God Bless you and your entire family. 👌👍
Hi Jeff I like your style. Smooth Operator and you are not scared to work. Damn I like a person that I’d not scared to work. I wish I had you on the pipelines I worked or maybe Hannah if she wasn’t so busy with you and her shows but anyways. You and I would enjoy working together. Fantastic pay Per diem pod travel time meals paid sometimes they will furnish a vehicle to back and forth to job site. For helper you get 13:51 13:51 13:51 fantastic pay diem plus travel time and meals
this is my new favorite channel. no joke. i don't even do woodwork. i'm a cook. i just like your style of approach and the way you present info, Jeff. thank you for everything.
We live in a disposable world. Too many folks are in too big a hurry to take the time to fashion a handle on their own. Sadly, there are way too many who would go thru a small forest trying to make their own handles. Thanks for sharing that Mr Jeff. Preciate you too!
Hey Jeff I agree with you 100%, I was a Millwright for 43 years in a manufacturing plant and I like to fix stuff myself and if I can repair it I don't take nothing to the shop. There's definitely a lot of self satisfaction in doing stuff yourself and having it come out just the way you want it. Keep up the good work appreciate y'all, oh I love watching your little daughter I told her the other day she's so tuff she could probably hunt bear with a switch.
Jeff, I used to think your daughter was the most interesting UA-cam producer I ever saw, now I believe you and her are running neck-and-neck as far as creating interesting videos! Thanks so much what year down-home honesty and heads up attitude!
You remind me so much if my dad. Rip. You & him would have gotten along so well. So many things in common. He taught me things like this growing up. Thanks for the great content Jeff. God bless brother
I love o watch you and Hannah do woodworking because that is one of favorite things to do. I do not throw any wood away because there is always a use for it.
Jeff, there's nothing boring about a man who would rather forge something with his two hands! My wife shows me something she wants and my reply is "I can make that". You've done a great job raising Hannah. But you already knew this. Appreciate y'all! Toyota for life! :)
After getting stuck on stupid, TWICE! I attempted 2 handles for an old sledge head I have but both times I shaped the handle before the head. Like the first thing you say in this video is do the head first before you waist your time fancying up the handle. well after 2 failed attempts I went to UA-cam and stumbled onto this post. After watching the video it truly is that simple and there is not much to it. thanks Jeff and I have subscribed and love your channel. I am a firm believer in don't buy it make it!
👍👍 💟 That fiddle music! I grew up watching my grandpa cut down hickory trees, and make axe, hammer all kinds of handles w/no power tools. A true lost art, Jeff. Keep'em coming-preciate y'all.👏😀✝⚜💪☮🇺🇸
You’ve definitely got a great set of skill sets .... Knows how to Appreciate the small things in life and has a very No Nonsense way of life ... I like it !!!!! Thanks for being YOU !!!!!!
I totally agree with you. It's the personal gratification that you did it that counts. Making it sentimental to you. A lot of people now days take for granted what they have and don't understand the pride of doing and building you own things. Great job Jeff. Have a good'n!
Good to see someone else making handles for their tool. Nothing feels better in my hand than a handle I've made, to be fair I also get to make sure that the palm swell actually FITS my hand and not the average that the garbage handles sold go for.
My brother Jeff, this isn't boring at all. I've said it before and I will say it again these projects you do are very interesting to me. I wish I was as talented at this as you are. Nice presentation my brother
My grandpa my all is own handles from shovels to hand axes etc. its American made. i love you and your daughters channel y'all are awesome, take care god bless
You're right Jeff, we could go buy a handle but "you" are the reason we're all here my friend, your craftsmanship buddy. Every video you post, holds my attention, and sometimes that hard to do, lol. You keep doin what you do and we'll keep watchin and learnin!! 👍👍
I just made a hatchet handle from scratch from Ash trees milled from my dad's farm I grew up on. Also, the hatchet head was my late uncle's so I agree with you.....it is about what it means to you and I learned a new skill. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks jeff you definitely just taught me something instead of throwing away a broken sledgehammer or ax and buying a new one i can make me another one. "appreciate y'all"
Hannah's a lucky gal to have a father like you to teach her all these things and it shows in everything she does that she had a good teacher growing up! Keep up the good work and I look forward to watching all the videos to come.
I'm sitting here in Scotland with my big cup of coffee, Jeff, enjoying every minute of your video. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge and skills with us.
Total respect for NOT just buying a new handle! You are absolutely correct saying you'll appreciate the hand made one so much more! Also appreciate you sharing that you accidentally broke that dog-leg off. Makes us all feel better knowing that it's okay to make mistakes. Blessings to you and yours!
That knowledge would have come in handy a year ago when I bought a hickory splitter handle. Jeff this stuff isn't boring to me. It's the same things I'll be doing when I move from texas to Oklahoma. My brother bought 47 acres of beautiful land up there. We will be living off grid so should be interesting. I do love the outdoors!
Brotha bored is never an issue watching you work and I'm sure everyone watching is happy to see someone who takes pride in their work and has the skills to do whatever needs to be done can't wait to see what happens next keep doing what you do and I'll keep smashing the like button
Everybody should be watching Jeff and Hanna. They are teaching skills lost on at least a generation. The way things are going in the world, these lessons could come in handy.
Cut scraped and sanded a short handle for a 41b sledge. Then proceeded shaping for the head end. Like you said, wrong!!! It was looking good too! Back to the drawing board. Appreciate ya brother.
Unfortunately, some folks don't understand the value of making something with their own hands. People too busy these days. I have made my own handles for over 50 years. Love the channel Jeff. Keep up the good work.
Jeff the way you explain what you are doing and the way to do it is very easy to understand.. You would make a good teacher. The video was very interesting I always love watching your videos your skills with wood are out of this world can't wait to see more videos thank you
i really like your video style you talk to the camera like you are talking to a friend (like you are talking to all of use personally). i know what you mean by the satisfaction of doing something the best way you can. i used to work at a large old fashioned familly owned lumberyard and filled in at the custom wood shop, we used to custom cut stair stringers, treads,i made a ton of hardwood transition strips for flooring, one of our customers was a block plant and they went thru a bunch of handles a month those guys were rough on their tools but they got the job done, i remember taking all the precut handles off the hook wall more than once to get their order done. keep up the good work and keep on doing the videos.
I just ran into your channel yesterday. Thank you professor. When I get out of the city I want to build a lot of things like the handles and log furniture.
I really do appreciate you doing that because I got friends and family and they always tell me go buy the handle at the store or at Lowe’s or the Home Depot when you got The materials right there.
I'm not real talented with wood like that, but I understand the sentimental part. That's the way I am with growing things in the garden. A can of green beans from the store are probably a lot cheaper than raising and canning them myself, but the ones out of my garden just seem to taste a whole lot better. I just wish I had half his talent with wood. Interesting video, keep them coming.
My Grandpa (and my Dad as well) taught me the value of things you make with your own hands. Most of the time it beats any store bought thing hands down. My kids and grand kids love the benches and cabinets I make for them. I still have several pieces (small tool totes and such) I made with my Granddad. I've taught my first granddaughter to hammer nails with the very hammer my Granddad taught me with. I have a great respect for your way of life and values. I very much enjoy the countryside you live in. Cheers from Canada
I think if more of us spent time making our own stuff we would be happier (like Jeff) and we would spend less time focusing on all the negatives in the world and then focusing that angry towards each other. Its a simple video, but it has a great message. As some one who also loves to build stuff, I'm really liking your channel.
Jeff you need a reality show. Everything you do is so oddly satisfying. Such a real human being and salt of the earth guy. You’re in my top 5 list of people I’d love to have a beer with.
Thanks for NOT adding background music while you talk. I even liked hearing the rain in the background. You remind me of the MAN I was about 25 years ago.
Hatchet handle end fix. Wrap the end with nylon cord (color of your choice). You can put a small loop under your wraps and tuck the end under when you are done for a neat finish. You can wrap over a bit of epoxy to make it hold solid - and you can seal the cord together when you are done with some superglue (soaking into the cord) or a bit more epoxy, to really seal it in place. (a bit like wrapping guides on a fishing rod). You can make fancy wraps for more texture or height, and use high-vis colors, etc. to really customize it. A good rainy-day project..
Jeff there are so many people now days that can’t do anything with their hands I love seeing someone who appreciates the old ways of hand made things. Let’s try a draw knife and chisel next. 😁
Hey, Jeff: I really appreciate it, when you give us any kind of building tips, weather it be handles, especially the oil in the head, to keep it from shrinking in the future! Thank You! Keep sending us your videos!! Stay Well! God Bless!!
Hey Jeff......Coming from a guy with four decades of experience, these skills matter. What is simple to you is an accomplishment, a revelation, the beginning of a business, a career, a hobby, or just solving an annoying problem for those that watch your straight forward- humble approach to American enginuity and craftsmanship which no doubt found its way to You from your forefathers......and now to Hannah. Thanks for your videos and to the generations before who instilled in you a unique easy going personality and the skills that make these videos a pleasure to watch.... Best
Thanks Jeff for all your how to veido I love them it reminds me of my dad he was a simple man and loved making then his then going and buying them thanks again and have a blessed day
If the world had more Jeff and hannah barrons the world would be a better place.. Appreciate ya'll !!
How True.
Ppreciate y'all!!
Agree!!!!
I wouldn't worry too much about boring folks, Jeff. If they're bored, they'll leave. We're here cuz we 'preciate YOU!

Nothing is more satisfying that making or modifying your own tools.

Working with our hands is what made America great, I am the same way keep doing what makes you happy!
Not boring @ all! For me, it's not the cost....it's the pride in making the item. 'preciate u!!
One of the reasons I subscribe is he doesnt have any fancy tools like other guys, just a grinder and a hacksaw. god bless you Jeff!
Yep Jeff you are soo right and I guarantee you a homemade handle will all pay for themselves and sturdier and simply last longer

Nothing like being self sufficient. Jeff thanks for sharing this is exactly what I'm going to do with my grandpa's old one with no handle . Great job
Making your own stuff is way more satisfying than buying something and you learned the skill and that's worth more as well!
Please keep making videos like this. They are helpful and fun to watch.
My brother Jeff, this isn't boring at all. I've said it before and I will say it again these projects you do are very interesting to me. I wish I was as talented at this as you are. Nice presentation my brother

Thank you. I e tried to make my own in the past and after watching your video I’ve found my simple and small mistakes. Thank you. Preciate y’all
That knowledge would have come in handy a year ago when I bought a hickory splitter handle. Jeff this stuff isn't boring to me. It's the same things I'll be doing when I move from texas to Oklahoma.

Hatchet handle end fix. Wrap the end with nylon cord (color of your choice). You can put a small loop under your wraps and tuck the end under when you are done for a neat finish. You can wrap over a bit of epoxy to make it hold solid - and you can seal the cord together when you are done with some superglue (soaking into the cord) or a bit more epoxy, to really seal it in place. (a bit like wrapping guides on a fishing rod). You can make fancy wraps for more texture or height, and use high-vis colors, etc. to really customize it. A good rainy-day project..
The Simple is Good and Right Jeff. Thank you.
wasn't a minute that was boring! Thanks for the video Sir!
Jeff there are so many people now days that can’t do anything with their hands I love seeing someone who appreciates the old ways of hand made things. Let’s try a draw knife and chisel next. 😁

Hey, Jeff: I really appreciate it, when you give us any kind of building tips, weather it be handles, especially the oil in the head, to keep it from shrinking in the future! Thank You! Keep sending us your videos!! Stay Well! God Bless!!
Hey Jeff......Coming from a guy with four decades of experience, these skills matter. What is simple to you is an accomplishment, a revelation, the beginning of a business, a career, a hobby, or just solving an annoying problem for those that watch your straight forward- humble approach to American enginuity and craftsmanship which no doubt found its way to You from your forefathers......and now to Hannah.
Thanks for your videos and to the generations before who instilled in you a unique easy going personality and the skills that make these videos a pleasure to watch....
Best
