I know some people are gonna wonder why is used the belt grinder
to shape the handle and not hand tools like spoke shaves and draw knives. The answer is that I did that last time I made an axe handle so I thought I'd switch it up a bit.
The second reason is that this piece of ash had a couple of knots in it which causes the grain to wave and bend making it hard to not get tear out when using hand tools.
Thanks for watching!

The cat at the end really brought the video full circle

Nice to see you select the natural grain of the wood by splitting the log instead of ripping. Makes for a strong shaft. Thanks for sharing. Happy new year
Cheers
Thank you very much!
I love how you alternate frequencies from low to high and high to low gradually it’s very cool. It’s like a piano going to all the different cords one by one quickly.
Finally good to see someone restoring an axe properly. No high shine polish. Good selection of timber and beautiful handle shaping. Good sharpen. One of best videos on UA-cam.
Now thats how to hang an axe! Nice, tidy handle too. Nice work. Thanks for not burning the handle and sanding off.
Finally, someone restoring an axe and knows what they're doing. Thank you
an incredible restoration well done and im so glad that u didnt get rid off the patina and turn the thing into goddamn mirror
Thanks mate. I did think about it but it's a tool first not an art piece.
Thanks for not turning the metal into a damn mirror
You're welcome
Yeah a lot of the restoration guys on UA-cam do things for show make things look stupid
Super Moon what shiny looks stupid?
Meh.... I sometimes sand out the pits to make it look nice and buff to a brushed shine before hot bluing . Smoothing the surface helps the blade release from the wood better and bluing is durable protection. Doesn't hurt that the axe looks nice as well. I just finished an almost identical double-bit axe to the one in the video. Nicely smoothed and blued head, looks great and cuts even better. And the bluing (magnetite) takes oil very well. @@supermoon1430
TheGhung Fu I let my axes get a patina and oil them
A beautiful axe and an adorable cat
You show more skill than most of the 'dudes' twice your age! Great job! THANK YOU FOR NOT BEING PRETENTIOUS WITH THE MIRRORED AXE HEAD!
I love the axe restorations
Me too
I thank you for this great axe restoration. Just like the your camp hatchet restoration this one is just as good if not better, considering the immense effort you put into making the handle. I appreciate your selection of a proper timber and wood grain.
This video is another reason to celebrate this day. Nice work
Greetings from Michigan.... Nice restore... When I was a youngster I swung one just like that .. I put a ton of hours on mine... Happy Blessed and prosperous New Year....Martin
Thanks Martin!
I'm here in Michigan too!!!
I love restorations because they use both wood and a little bit of medal working. Good job!
Amazing work! Nice to see you’ve acquired a new belt sander and handsaw
I swung one every summer at a state park in W. NY cleaning up trails and bucking firewood. We were taught to sharpen one side super sharp and the other side more dull. One side for felling and the other for grubbing roots etc. Made sense at the time.
Genius work. The content and the editing.
What a great cat, too.
Always a pleasure watch your vids. Have a great time with yours and a happy New Year.
I like that I can enjoy your videos without sound :) sometimes very helpful in certain situations
I like his strategy. Using a hatchet to make an axe handle
Looks better than on Instagram amazing work man!
Great job nice to see things brought back to life and great workmanship you should be proud .
I haven't watched the video yet but so happy to see any of your stuffs today. Just wanna say happy new year to you and take good care of yourself 🤗🤗🤗
Happy New year from Chile! Hope 2019 is great for you and your channel!
I love how the time was taken to make the handle out of a rough cut piece of lumber. Nice job.
looks great, amazing work
wonderful job on the handle
I love all the flash fast forwards. Do a shave horse build, a standing shave horse. Cool vid dude.
Good to see an old art still living
That’s a very fine axe well done 👍
I like this fairly old-fashioned restoration. For the most part you used old tools.
Finally! Someone who can hang an axe head properly and leaves the patina on the axe!
That turned out beautiful btw..
An axe from my home state! #michigan for the win!
I really like how you kind of told the cat to mind the axe XD
Great video by the way, as always!
Thanks God you have not polished that axe. Nice handle, nice sensible restoration
Appreciate it. Thank you!
cat be like wtf i am doing here ???
Wadd dem hell
“Guess I’ll scratch”
Very nice job❤
Great vid, I love that cat!
Yes! Make the handle first then the axe head. Makes way more sense that way. Great work
I love how at the end you were trying to chop that log harder with your power.
Well done 👍
perfect. also, nice asmr.
One of the best restoration videos yet; thanks. It look like you saved up special wood for the handle. Was that ash wood? Thanks again for great channel.
Молодец, с Новым годом!
Love the handcrafted touch! How long did you season the wood before making use of it ?
very cool
Cat was the perfect touch at the end
What sets your videos apart is the audio of the rapid acceleration/deceleration of playback speed. Very original and not very common on the boob tube. Nice work.
Thank you very much! Appreciate feedback on editing!
good video
Happy new year mate. Love your videos from Australia. I was wondering what types of wood you have access to and how you source it? Cheers.
good,you are awaesome
~new sub ❤❤❤
Nice handle. Love to see you restore it for use not show.
Awesome job on the handle 👍🏻 but still should put a metal wedge in it.
Great wrok
What kind of wood did you use for the handle?
Молодца дружище! Well done buddy!
ps кот хорош - the сат is good

Nice...😉
That cat is like: "YES! Fresh crackles on teh log!"
Yep, I’m sure of it... that’s a big ass belt sander.
Well done young man! I like a natural handle myself. Thanks goodness you didn’t do that stupid burning it with a torch thing.
Is there something that can be sprayed onto the head to remove rust without damaging the existing handle?
Like how you did this the proper way, by making the handle first, then restoring the axe head, an making it an actual AXE HEAD and not a goddamned MIRROR LIKE OTHER PEOPLE! PEOPLE THESE DAYS THINK THAT MAKING SOMETHING SHINY MEANS “RESTORING IT” AND IT MAKES ME FURIOUS
I’m sorry I had to get that out of my system...
Cool
What kind of pants are those? I would like to have a pair myself.
I don’t know if it’s just me but when he is trying to get the axe head off at the start it reminds me of when I was little trying to take my tooth out aha😂
I just noticed he is using his restored camp hatchet
Hvor finder du de forskellige økser du restaurere? Restaurere også selv økser men kan ikke finde så mange. Også virklig fedt arbejde du gør. Er også ca. lige så gammel som dig og laver det samme.
Good 1
Good 2
I have one of these and I live in Michigan.
You should burn the wood before you put the linseed oil on it. It makes it stronger and looks good
o cara usa um Machado pra fazer o cabo de outro kkkk muito bom.
Very helpful thank you. All, please do not use a ball peen hammer on your axe eye. Use 1/4' chisels, small drill bits, and a punch.

I can't find much info on the correct way to sharpen the two blades. Am I correct in assuming one should be made sharp, while the other more blunt? I know the intention is they serve different cutting curposes.
If anyone could give me recommended sharpening angles for each of the blades, that'd be useful.
If your useing it to split made it somewhat sharp but not that sharp because it'll get stuck inside the log if its sharp however if your useing to to cut thing spike shave and stuff like that then yes make it sharp so yes i would make one side sharp other dull that's how mine is oh and if your restoring one leave it in a bucket of water overnight it'll have the wood and wedge swell together although I dont know if that's the correct way my father told me that when I was 12 restoring a craftsman 1970s usa made double bit axe
What make is the axe?
10/10
It will keel.
Mr.Make N' Create, what pocket knife do you use?
Currently the kizer cutlery kala wouldn't recommend if you want a small pocket knife.
What was wrong with the old handle?
he's restoring an axe... With an axe
One hellova Palm swell at 6:50🤣🤣
Everybody has a story if you take away its scratches and its marks you take away it story.
Every blade
Did you get a new grinder
Yes!
Is it snowing yet in Denmark?
Nope. Atleast where I am.
Manda esse gato fazer uma dieta com massa mandei até o like aí
Where do you get a belt grinder that big
Scantool
@@MakeNCreate ok thanks
You put a cat in the video for much more like ? xD
True :)
Ur restoration was perfect a million times better then 98 % of the vids of seen on youtube....just to me one favor and stop using the pole of ur single bits as a hammer to bang wedges....its okay to use them to hammer in wooden tent pegs or slam plastic felling wedges...but not hammer on metal...it can and evently will mushroom ur poll, spread ur eye, or crack the poll and eye
Are you from Denmark?
Yes
Yes I am 3
That's so new that you can get a brand new one at the hardware shop or a new handle costs hardly anything
There's no skill or stress relief in buying a new one though
Yesterday i bought a restored double bit michigan axe for 90 bucks it is a 6o year old axe.
niec wark
I got ones
You should make a baseball bat,please make one
God video og cool økse
I see what you did there
Simon W.S What?
Oh that's what happened then. Ok thanks
