As soon as you hear "hello friends" you know its time to sit down, relax, and listen to the calm and accurate descriptions of an incredibly skilled craftsman sharing both, their experience and experiments. Thank you!!! It's a tremendous pleasure to watch!
Ohh and how much does the head weigh? (Sorry if you already mentioned it but I don't recall.)
I recently got a used axe basically for free. The head weighs 1250g. I converted it to a carving/hewing axe even though it's far too heavy. I filed the left bevel as flat as possible to 7 degrees (I'm right handed) leaving the right bevel at 25 degrees. I will saw off the handle at ~40cm. And finally, but most noticably, I shaped the handle ergonomically right under the head. That's where I grab it to chop and carve.
Now I can carve wood in a chopping motion, almost like a butcher would use a cleaver, by ignoring/discarding the lever advantage of the handle and only relying on the weight of the head. I use it e.g. to turn square stock round-ish, following up with planes (I don't have a lathe). Or to carve a rounded/spherical end into a beam (my "hatchet" makes quick work of the end-grain and leaves a good surface quality - much like your powerful cloggers knife).
My improvised hatchet/hewing axe/heavy carving knife is probably quite un-traditional (if there's a similar traditional tool I'd love to learn the name). And probably a 750g head would work better (lifting the heavy head is still a bit tiring). But it was cheap and works for now. But I always appreciate better (but affordable) suggestions!
@@LZP123 1.5--2kg. Unfortunately, I can't weigh it now as it is no longer in my possession.
@@LZP123 Sounds like you got it right))
Agreed
Beautifully handcrafted tool that will last for generations and become a family heirloom. It would be an honor to receive one.
Totally agree. Would be my honor to receive one too ;)
What a wonderful inspiration, you truely capture the essence of ingenuity. If you sell this ax I would be honored. My name is Chris. I’m sure you have many requests…is this something you make for sale
When I watch Advoko's videos I realise what humans are capable of if we apply ourselves - it's like watching Neo after he's downloaded everything.
Generations of our ancestors knew what many of us have forgotten, that blowing on the shaft's knob is the correct way to achieve the desired results. Beautiful work friend. Beautiful.
There are about 100 good ideas and novel approaches in this video, just wow.
Made with caring hands. Craftsmanship that is good to see people still do.
So good… lucky friend who gets this axe.
"...even such an amateur as me..." - you are joking right 😂 don't think I've ever seen a better crafted tool
Amateur doesn't mean what people think. It refers to people who enjoy the craft so much they do it for love, not pay. All competitive sports used to be amateur ... like the Olympics.
@@jamesforbes2871 Jim Thorpe enters the chat.
Aye, A highly skilled Amateur that takes pride in his work.👍
In All of the videos I've watched so far, everything he makes is a work of art.
Nothing beats the quality of a hand forged Axe, I have one that is a over hundred years old and I would never swap it against any of the modern ones you get in the hardware store.
Whoever got the Axe from you has something that he can pass on to many generations.
I don’t know what to call you Advoko, so I’m going to call you an amplified bush crafter…and you BY FAR are one of the greatest.
WOW, you are absolutely amazing brother!!
Great to have you back, we’ve missed you! That is such a beautiful axe, it’s art! What a GREAT friend you are wow. The theory of axe balance sounds very interesting, I personally would love to watch that video if you make it 👍🏻 I’ll keep an eye out for your notifications, like I usually do. Thanks again for sharing 👍🏻
This was amazing, I loved the use of pvc pipe for the sheath. I will remember that. As always thank you for sharing your talent with us Max
Just be careful not to heat PVC too much, if you try it yourself :) the fumes are pretty bad for you
The perfect woodland axe. Light enough to carry and heavy enough to fell trees, process animals, cut your sausage..ect. That will be around a lot longer than you. Beautiful work. With the carbon fiber re enforcement, I doubt that head will loosen in a lifetime. Big thumbs up.👍
Thank you for this video. Your channel is so enjoyable. Listening to your soothing voice while watching you forge impeccable equipment and talking through your creative process is simply bliss. I and others are so appreciative of your amazing content. Keep up the outstanding work Advokomakes!
I usually don't like narration of such videos, but this guy does it quite well.
Thank you for showing us all your skills and ideas, all started from zero until most fantastic, beautiful and useful products. I wish you all success and thank you for sharing and I am looking forward to your next projects and videos. Greetings from a Swedish guy living in Brazil.
I have never seen anyone do that with PVC pipe before. Absolutely brilliant. Don't know why I didn't think of doing that
Thank you so much for all the time and energy you put into making these videos, it is greatly appreciated
You explain things well despite English not being your first language.
You inspire me to create even more than before.
Making blade covers from PVC... MIND BLOWN... You sir have just saved me a fortune on KYDEX sheets.
Beautiful work Sir! I like these techniques, some of which I have never seen before! Excellent!
You downplay your skill set, that Axe is beautiful, custom sheath and packaging. I feel the owner is very happy with it. Excellent work.
I was 14 - sitting with my grandfather. He would point to trees and tell me what he knew they were best for. In the 46 years since then, someone - cut down the trees. I was looking for shovel and axe handles. I was looking for an ash tree. About 4 years ago, I cut and set long maple and oak poles. The first year - my handles turned into cork screws. The second year - I had 2 years of drying time. The handles I made that year held straight. You - allowed me to challenge myself. I have to make a sun wood dryer. Cheers Sir!
Max you are an absolute genius. I do not say that lightly. From your narrations and technical descriptions I can see you have great technical knowledge, but I also recognise that no one can just know how to do everything, so it leads me to one conclusion; you have to be a perfectionist. Well done!
Thank you for such a high praise!
Someone get this man one million subscribers already.
Dude - I want to come spend a week with you at your camp so I can sponge up some of the wealth of knowledge you have! I live in NY,NY and we love your channel. My uncle is a woodsman upstate who lives in a cabin, is a professional trapper as well as a wild life management guy and once I shared the channel with him, he was hooked as well! Keep it up and thanks for all the knowledge friend!
Oh my you have fortunate friends.
Max my name is Mark,I'm from Vancouver Canada. There tough times coming like the world has never seen. You have given your followers plenty of skills to get by when technology fails us.Bless you and long life.
Mark, thank you for your kind words
This is one of my favorite projects. The ax is beautiful.
I love this, I grew up with the mentality that you keep your secrets of the trade to make yourself “valuable” and I’ll say, about halfway through my naval career I had a situation happen that completely changed my outlook on that stigma, the more knowledge shared, means the better everyone works together, and your videos, you have the epitome of sharing knowledge, keep up this amazing work, continue to be a beacon of light!
What a great and well stated observation, Mr Hebrew! 🤔 I totally agree. 👍
From nothing to perfection and we saw it happen. A tool made for a friend done with care and love is magical and they will have a priceless treasure to use and admire for many years. You're the best Max!
OMG YES!!! I've introduced dozens to you and your remarkable craftsmanship. So excited to see another of your videos, this was an incredible build, and as always, narrated beautifully!
Thank you 😊
@@Advoko Please, some day post that vid about axe balance you mention here, it'd be awesome, my curiosity got really piqued with that bit about being false information online on the topic. Thanks in advance.
Amazing craftsmanship bro! Insane that you just casually make your own custom 100% handmade from scratch axe! The result is obviously of exquisite quality! 😁👌
I am a Master Carpenter, yet I am hesitant to use the word Master in such company. I respect what you do, as well as to how you do it. I wish I had the time to dedicate myself full time to projects. But I am almost there. I thoroughly enjoy watching you create, perfect everything you put your hands to.
I also want to visit you’re Mother Russia one day. But let me say I am a patriot and I love my Country. But this doesn’t mean I don’t long to explore. 😀
Russian people are wonderful. It is the political crap which has gotten in the way. Im in the US, and look forward to visiting there one day
@@craigrigby1498 In Abrams tank or aircraft carrier US NAVY USS Gerald R. Ford?))) Welcome with peace or arms)) There is always something worthy to meet and give a worthy answer)))
@Pen Guin in these times? I don’t know?
As mentioned by others, I would LOVE to see an extensive video on axe balancing. Thank you so much for posting this video and all your others!
I have very few “favorite channels”. This is certainly one of them.
Very much appreciate all of your efforts and knowledge sir. BIG thanks!
I am impressed by your quality of workmanship. You made an amazing gift for your friend.
Благодарю за просмотр 🤝🪓🪓🪓
Да всегда пожалуйста, Максим, только вот на русском очень давно ничего нового не было😬🤷♂️
Where are new videos in Russian? We are tired of waiting
Максим, все (как всегда) замечательно, но отсутствие русских субтитров в англоязычном ролике удручает!((
@С. П. Рад быть полезным 😉
@@user-jn9hy5np5l к чему субтитры когда есть русскоязычная версия?
Love your videos!
The fact that you don't release videos super often makes the ones you do release worth waiting for.
Thank you for sharing :)
Yet again, I am amazed, entertained, and as the son of an engineer, very impressed with your vast knowledge and practical skills.
You are very talented and make beautiful and useful tools. Your cabin as well and all of your projects are amazing to see. Be safe and well. See you again soon.
what a beautiful gift. would gladly hear you talk about axe balance too :)
Beautiful,, like everything you build,, over the top,, handmade down to the rivets & packaging!!
Thank you for this Max..
I very much enjoyed watching this build and appreciate the time, skill and effort you put into making the axe, as well as capturing each stage on film for us to enjoy.
Truly inspiring 🙏🏼
Glad you enjoyed it
You are far too young to be such an incredible craftsman.
Your work is not only amazing, it is correct in design and execution.
Please make videos about the proper balance and design of ALL your tools.
They are beautiful.
Any real man would be honored to have one of them.
Yes!!! Finally another video!!
Simply beautiful, that is an amazing axe and receiving such a tool would be an honour. Thank you you for making these amazing quality videos. They're always worth the wait.
A gift for a friend. Must be a really good friend. All that work man.
Your friend is a lucky one! That’s a fine tool that will serve its purpose for many years.
I love this channel! It is hard to understand anyone who could give a thumbs down to a video like this. In addition to the being a master craftsman, clearly Max is also an excellent video producer. God bless you Max Egorov.
This is trully russian crafstamenship: Built with avaiable and adaptable tools (every tool is universal when you know how to make them do) and built to LAST
thanks for all the detail regarding the mix of modern polymers and physics of ax handle weight...
This is just amazing and shows us that real upcycling is possible and could turn out very beautiful.
Thank you!))
This is the most beautiful axe I've ever seen in my entire life!
i don't know how you can handle an office job all year round, being such an avid craftsman
What a thoughtful gift from a good friend.
Thank you so much for all the great videos! It is a pleasure to follow along on your adventures 😀
Yes, well pleased to see another vid. Keep them coming
You're incredible. Your techniques and technical skills are truly not of this world. Is there something you can't do?
Thank you. Yes, many things)))
@@Advoko Жениться, например))
are you smoking crack???
You know it's a good day when Max publishes a video! ☺️
Magnificent Workmanship...
I'm so thankful you made this second video
Like your comments of the DIY information built of your handle great instructions and the why to.We in the USA still have hickory as our favorite handle material.
Thank you for the teaching Sir
As an old friend of Max, I look forward to my newly crafted axe in the mail someday soon !!!

Dear Advoko,
Thank you for sharing your creative process with us. My wife and I love your videos!
Beautiful. Not just a superior tool, an absolute work of art.
Wow Max, beautiful work on the axe and handle. So much time spent to get it just right. It's a piece of art that's also usable. I love watching your ingenuity and listening to your explanations. I'd like to hear more about axe-balance from your perspective too. Sounds interesting.
Thanks heaps for the video.
the fact that you made that axe was impressive, but then the sheathing that you made from those pvc-tubes; that blew my mind! cool stuff man, very clever!!
I like all your videos. Your English is clear and easy to listen to which is a +1, and I like the minimalist, yet creative approaches you take to solving the various hurdles in your projects.
:)
Thank you for your compliments ))
As always, a pleasure to watch your talents in use. Your channel is UA-cam GOLD🥇
DUDE!, we have missed you! please don't take so long between your videos, I love watching the cool things you make and your adventures in the wilderness
I'm sure your friend was much more than seemingly happy with your beautiful gift...including the cool packaging.
Exceptional craftsmanship , in its purest form . . All made by hand . Amazing work . Raise my hat to you max , in total respect . From GB .
A fantastic ax as well as inspiration to craft ideas using what is available. Well, with some planning ahead. Stay healthy and keep good spirits, thank you for the wonderfully relaxing view of the world.
Imagine the feeling his friend had when he first opened that packaged and seen such an incredible piece of art, and thoughtfully crafted tool.That's a piece you definitely keep your entire life and pass on to future generations.
I very much envy your intelligence, ingenuity and achievements. Your videos are absolutely beautiful and inspirational.
This is such an awesome video. I love that you combined modern and traditional techniques. You are clearly very knowledgeable on axe-making. Thank you for sharing!
I enjoy watching a skilled craftsman work. These projects take patience and persistence. Your skills are in short supply in the younger generations here in the US. Thank you for show these skills to us.
Awesome as always, I'm so impressed by your creative problem solving skills!
I really enjoy the technical commentary you are able to give throughout your projects, clearly you have had training.
It is simply a beautiful axe. Words can’t describe.
We are all axes, in a world of wood. And the wood remembers when it has been cut, even if the axe forgets.
"Even such an amateur as me" -- I think you give yourself too little credit here :) :) :) Awesome work as usual
FOR SURE you will see us again on Advoko Makes! Favourite channel EVER. Wish there were more frequent videos! But i understand there are only 24 hours in a day and you are very busy plus editing takes a long while!
Kudos to you, Sir!
I am completely blown away. Outstanding work.
I love how humble he is, despite making tools that make us envious and can literally be sold for a small fortune
Just another Day in the life of McGyver....
Beautiful axe and plastic sheath! I envy your friends' gift!!
This is one outstanding video. I'll definitely go watch your others. Extremely good work.
I'm glad I found this channel. I swear I found it in Russian, or another Slavic dialect, before, which was difficult... I don't speak Russian 🤔. Now I do have better than about a toddlers vocabulary in about 4-6other languages. English I'm proficient, and Spanish I'm not the best at. But Russian isn't one picked up somehow. Even going threw an opporators manual of a Russian lathe back when I was 19 doing maintenance in a prefabricated log cabin factory, even with that headache, I still didn't learn a damn thing about the language 🤣.
Yeah his main channel is almost 2m subs and is called Адвокат Егоров. He is a Russian lawyer.
Your videos are so wonderful. Very calming and informative. I would love to hear you talk more about axe balance!
i'm blown away by your expertise. So inspiring.
Just got a new kitten and she seems to love your voice she sat down with me and watched the hole video and when it ended she went back to playing
This is fantastic. Keep creating and sharing it with us. Thank you.
That is a stunning piece of craftsmanship. Wow. Gorgeous!
Excellent video. Never thought of using pvc as a sheath. Thank you for the idea.
Magnificent and inspirational! The theory of axe balance sounds very interesting.
EXCELLENT..! Impressive array of top skill sets my friend. I believe you have many more. Thanks for sharing and please let's see some more.
I heated and reshaped PVC before but the press is something new to me. Nice to learn new things.
This guys voice and accent are so enjoyable and relaxing....
Your work is amazing. It's nice to see stuff from real craftsmen. I'm glad you are allowed to publish video. I don't know enough about the Government but wish our Countries would learn to get along better. Considering Alot of Us residents can trace their history back to Russia. Myself included.
