You have the same respect for the tool and the wood you work with that I saw in my dad; he was a finish carpenter. It's a special relationship that real craftsmen or women have for the craft. Thank you for this lovely video Rune. Donna
Greetings from ...USA ... North West Georgia ............ Love your videos ..... You have such a gift !!!! I look forward to all your videos ...... You make things look so effortless ........... VERY IMPRESSED ...... THANK YOU FOR SHARING A LITTLE OF YOUR WORLD
Man this grindingwheel is so cool. Great video. Pure realaxing. Cool to see this old technic. I have never seen something else. Would be a pity if so old techniques would die out.
Theorcman2008 and that is the problem why we are loosing all the old technics. Dont get me wrong. I am not against modern technic. I also try out every new stuff. But it is good to know the old stuff.
Good thing I’m a 25yo who’s decided to live their life like this to master crafting the Olde way. Reliance on EM energy to run all your equipment is a huge fatal flaw our society has. How do you get stronger? By doing. Cut the weakness out, build yourself up.
This is so interesting for me. Especially recently I have just longed to live more simply and in the midst of nature. Your videos are a wonderful insight to that. That's a beautiful axe you made, I'm from Finland so the title caught my attention.
Hello, I like Finnish Axes and have refinished a few Billnas Axes, 12.3, 12.2 1133, 7. I have used Birch to make shaft. On one of my axes I used the 'Snake Wedge' like you demonstrated here. The Finnish People now a lot about woodsmanship and you can see that in their design of axe and skills in the forest. I find the Billnas and Kellokoski axes need a different technique in processing wood, different to English and American Axes. I enjoyed this video, thank you WS.
It is because they are not poll balanced like English or American axes but they are blade heavy. For me it gives a little bit more power to the cut. and that socket and downwards swooping blade gives lot of control when you are choking on the axe head when carving.
Every time i come onto youtube i find more stuff from your channel that is new to me! Its amazing! Its almost like you're teaching us everything we need to know to thrive if society collapses! The second part was a joke of course, i love your channel.
I just got one of those axes with a cracked and loose handle, so I'll be doing the same. Thank you very much for pointing out the wedge strategy and the boiling of the handle!
That is one beautiful axe Rune. Is really like the shape of those Finnish axes. I am beginning to repeat myself but another excellent video and the extra information is helpful too. ATB Marc - Belgium
I had never seen the multi-directional split arrangement you used with the wooden wedge to retain the axe head on the handle. Looked to be very effective in locking the end of the handle to the upper end of the head, without requiring a metal wedge. Clearly an improvement over the more common single split with wedge. Greg
Young man my hat is off to You.. I have seen few of your vids.. You are a very talented seems in many skills. I have been in Your Country... Beautifull and the people are wonderful. I wish you much success for You are definatey helping your viewers.
You're a brave man grinding the ax on the wheel before hafting it, I would have found a way to need stitches before all was said and done. Beautiful work.
man...I honestly was only going to watch a few seconds to get the general drift of this video, next thing I knew it was over! Totally zone out on it! Great stuff man!
I just found this channel and i am so amazed by your knowlegde young sir. You earned yourself a subscriber, keep up the good work. Greetings from Serbia :)
That's great. I didn't know about boiling the handle and driving in a long wooden wedge. Currently I have a handle of ash tree in preparation. It's for an axe head I bought on a flee market. I'll fix the handle the way you showed here. ;)

I AGREE FULLY, THAT ANTIQUE TECHNIQUES CAN NOT END, BEYOND THE TOOL STAND WITH INCREDIBLE AND BEAUTIFUL FINISH.
Why should you work harder then you have too?

Preserving the culture and tradition, yes?

Cheers from Finland! Your videos are pure relaxation!
You are really talented, the way you use the axe is so precise!
Keep it up ✊
Yes it not an easy thing to do it took me a long tome before I could swing one accurately but with practice it become easy
The way you pounded the head on the handle is something that immediately gives out a person who actually knows what he's doing.
This man really enjoy his job.
What you do in your videos cannot be faked. Your channel kicks ass.
I'm glad to see that you didn't mirror polish the entire head like so many "restorations" do now. I've never seen a cool collared axe; fantastic work.
Primitive technology meets every single other bushcraft/restoration video I enjoy.
Great content, look forward to more.

Man I think you've mastered your relationship with wood.
There’s no such thing as complete, relationships and proficiency are a constant trial. Once you stop, then it is done

Your color grading is without a doubt my favorite out of any I have seen
You did our country proud. Keep up the good work!
Brilliant craftmanship! Very nice video too. I never saw anyone working with an axe as precisely as you do.
You're a brave man grinding the ax on the wheel before hafting it, I would have found a way to need stitches before all was said and done. Beautiful work.
This is great craftmanship, you have golden hands!
man...I honestly was only going to watch a few seconds to get the general drift of this video, next thing I knew it was over! Totally zone out on it! Great stuff man!
Bravo young man, a fine axe to last many years
Fantastic! I've never seen anything so absorbing! 6minutes was like 6 seconds! Keep it up man!
Craftsmanship at its finest. Thank you for sharing. 🤘
