I just ordered another curved 32 and Ill probably shoot a vid on rehanging it. right now its on a 32" straight and I miss the old curved handle. Hope it turns out as nice as yours did. Cheers

@tomconner96956 жыл бұрын
MASTER deBATER. Cut a 10" x 10" chunk off of a Beech (Celtis) limb should produce 2-3 mallet blanks, or you can cut a shillelagh style piece (preferably not from a healthy desirable specimen, but a destined for removal or fallen tree) with the shillelagh style you can be done in one shot just find a nice straight handle sized lateral limb branching off of a good sized leader, 3 cuts, strip bark, carve to shape, bevel head striking surface (round) edges, bake on gas grill wrapped in foil with ends open at 130° until reasonably dry (I never made a mallet, but I made a menacingly intimidating grapefruit shillelagh I could crush bricks and break hollow cement blocks with)

I like the feel of the video and I admire your attention to bringing the feel of quality to vintage axe restoration as a quality product. My question or maybe suggestion is could you put together something like this but include restoring an original handle? It is incredibly labor intensive to bring a modern handle even close to the craftsmanship of vintage handles so I have been working on restoring some of the dried out but viable old handles. You have a wonderful sense of adding emotion in your editing and music to a truly labor intensive process. As much as anything it is nice how you present your work so regular people will feel why it’s significant.

@michaelkearney55629 жыл бұрын
With the right sized wedge driven in, the handle filled the eye of the axe completely. Since there is - what is it? - about half an inch of wood extending past the front of the axe head, it is even more secure. It wont come loose. There is no need for a metal wedge there.
