  • I found this Pick in a crypt in a graveyard (!?!?) Taylor and I were exploring. It gave me the idea to make that fireman axe I've been wanting to make!
    The Axe was in the yard for many years waiting for a restoration...
    ...now is that time.

    BTW some joker commented i staged the crypt segment "for views" this is 100% real find in real time on the video. i didnt have the idea to use the pick in the this video until few days after i found it. if i thought if it id have taken better video of me picking it up! In fact i shot a fake scene where i found it on the property in the grass .. and then i remember this scene was on the goPro!

      I didn't see it in the top comments so I'll ask the obvious question, why were you exploring a graveyard? Going by the poor condition open and empty crypt, plus all the vegetation, I'd guess it's abandoned or nearly so. Cool axe build and all, but now ya got me curious too! Though I'm not interested in the location. (which is probably a long way away anyhow) Anyhow, thanks for the question-raising video! XD

    @maxximumb 6 років тому +1

    Jimmy, I was told when looking for wood to make axe handles, to use an oversized piece so the handle could be cut slightly diagonally, so that most of the grain ran perpendicular to the axe head. I see you cut yours straight, so the grain runs diagonally through the handle. Is this a country difference (I'm in the UK) or does the type of wood make a difference to the handle splitting along the grain? Near the base of the axe at 5:40, you can see the grain pattern runs from the middle of the S bend, across the handle, to the opposite side near the base. If this makes sense.

    For those saying that welded tools suck, I direct you to Atrox, the Junk Sword made by Micheal Cthulu here on UA-cam. (Part 1: ua-cam.com/video/2RvpJ-JpKDE/v-deo.html and part 2: ua-cam.com/video/DLCG9LoD-tc/v-deo.html ). For the uninitiated, Micheal makes big giant swords and axes from pop culture. He does so via metal work, mainly cutting and welding HardOx. He demonstrates that proper welds with proper materials are just as strong as something forged from one solid piece of steel.

    I was trying to work out why he didn't finish/cut the end of the handle, until he pullled out the hammer...
