Absolutely beautiful work mate! 👍🏻❤️

So simple but so bloody effective. Cheers mate.

Beautiful work Toby thanks for the video 😊👌

Lustrous

Another great informative video. Thanks Toby. 👍

Really well done I would really like to see one on handle scales

Hey Toby, great videos! What grit do you use to grind in the facets? I find 120 grit seems to pull out material a bit too fast and the 220 is really slow.

I'm using router/trimmer with 45° bit profile Very easy to use and consistent results. Plus no need more fancy sanding because it's already smoothen

Very cool! Nice prep for a great finish, 👍🏼🔪

Great video and a great looking handle. Would you have a link to a video that teaches how to drill the hole for the blade handle ? Thank you already.

Thanks Toby, Cheers M.e.

Good video. Thanks

hi great video, great work, but if this is the "easiest way" I still think is not so easy. Congrats!! And, by the way, its been long time I saw a japanese video showing a machine (very simle and operating in primitive way), like a jig, to do this work in handle. This machine was composed by a wheel with blades (like plain) moving in the wood and removing material modeling in octagonal shape. I lost this viedo and I have tried to find in youtube but unfortunatelly a I can´t. So please if some of you have this mentioned video or link to, please ping me. thanx.

Cheers my man

Nice work

thats ace. thanks for the tip tobes. i will remember that one. there is a trick thats similar ive seen on several wood working chanels like Pask makes, Jimmy diresta and johnathan kats moses, where they use a table saw and an octagonal collet to set the angles to get a perfect octagon but i dont think it would work with a taper like what you do with this. Your method of set up is pretty much exactly how you set up to hand hew a log into a beam.

I approve this message

Planning on making one of these. Hopefully putting the blade into the handle is not that difficult

Hey mate great video. How hard is your belt grinder going? Do you find ends of the handle ever get ground away faster than the middle and it doesn't come out properly flat?

Great share, cheers

👍✌️⚒️

4:00 what is the exact size in front and back edge after trimming? and what is the final length of the handle? Anyway beautiful work ❤️

3:55 What is that metal block with the drill holes called? Thanks!

Great video! Which height gauge do you have?

so what happened to the store? It doesn't seem to be on your site anymore.

what wood is that handle at the end made from?

No edge alignment in the handle?

Посмотрите у русских, это делается значительно проще с преспособой на гриндере а у вас все грани разных размеров.

Good god mate, bolt down your grinder. It’s blowing in the wind.

hey did this guy kill him self or is he still alive just asking

He talks about easiest way to do Wa. But still he uses devices which normaly people do not have to use. :))) useless video!
