As a 30+ year practicing Heathen, I really appreciate videos like this, especially your intricate take on it with runic details and all. Just one thing, though... The axe was a weapon and tool of war, as well as a daily self-defense tool. As such, when I build mine soon (based on your video, of course) I like war runes like Tyr, Thurisaz and Hagalaz. Asgard forbid I ever have to use it that way but if I do, I will rain blood and hell on whoever. Just sayin'...

Started making wooden swords back when I was 13. Swords and knives, were the first things I started carving. It led me to so many different things I wanted to carve out of wood, which led to rock eventually. But I still like making wooden swords to this day. Wooden sheathes with them and all.

My only criticism is the way the holes for stitches were made. Pricking irons aren't much more difficult and make a much nicer looking hole.

My grandpa made me a lot of wooden swords when I was younger. I still sometimes make swords with him, not to play with them, but to put them to display.

"Wilderness and the American Mind" by Roderick Frazier Nash would be an excellent book to go through for the first few rounds! Jumps of nicely into things like Nessmuk's or Kephart's books on woodcraft

I’m there! Think Brandon from Whiskey River would be a GREAT podcast guest. I would love to hear his story and how he got into Axe life and have his Dad on too, Rooster!

I picked up a 200 year old broad axe off eBay. It had been hand forged by a blacksmith. I got a 35” hickory handle from Ace Hardware. It w as a little been a job.large but workable. The major problem that I have found is the eye tapers from .750 to .690 at the top. The width varied about the same amount. I almost have I hung. I had to resort to my belt sander and four in hand for most work. I have cut the recesses for the ears but do not have it all the way down, yet. It has been a job.

WE by Yevgeny Zamyatin is a great book about how marxists raise brainwashed people like chickens in a closed society and force shots/ medical procedures etc. highly recommend!! banned by soviets and inspired 1984 & the Giver & tons of books. it was written in 1920 but Zamyatin did a great job predicting the use of technology to make it like every one lives in a glass house

Book club?

Good old shrewsbury antiques. Where everything is old but nothing is cheap 😉 Looking forward to the new stuff 👍

Thanks for your hard work. I’ve learned a lot!

21:29 the tank that kits come with is only 1/2 gal. which would make the stock range 40-50 miles, there are cheap tank upgrades but stock they would be comparable

It looks like you’re tracing the lines on the flesh side. Is that right? I’m new to this.

Looks grate! Did you end up using it much? If so, how bad did it warp out of shape after a few decent fires?

What a GORGEOUS Dirk you've made there!! I need one bad to add to my MACDOUGALL plaid kilt!!

That's a very nice quick release belt strap.

What "oil" are you putting on the sheaths? 🤔🙄

I love your video, especially that you’re using beginners tools, I learned allot from your video 👍🇺🇸🙏

Congratulations on a nice job I wanted to ask you, how many millimeters thick is the skin?

Which seller on Amazon did you buy this from?

hey,you do very among others.i am your fan from phillippines.ricardo c. limbo/ 543 bigain st. ibabao cuenca batangas ph.

That saw is for kiln dried lumber. Get a corrona limb saw. Or a bow saw with a good Swiss blade. Like a Hultafors. They offer blades for green wood or dry.

Thanks for the kind words, always love when you and your brother come out to visit!

Как можно заказать топорище и сколько сьлит😂

My family worked at Collins until they closed in 1966. We lived in Company housing. After the plant shut down we kids would wander thru it, finding all kinds of axes & machetes left behind. We'd also find them in the river. I still have most of them.

This definitely turned out really nice

Do you recommend treating the axe handle before you wrap it? If so what do you use to treat it?

we have one in Vermont every year, in the town of Tunbridge

Hey man Looking to make some Bushcraft utensils similar to this and I got some questions for you if you don’t mind me asking 1. With these have to be maintained overtime like through oil rubs, or something of that sort 2. Is there any kind of specific material you used? 3. What kind of oil did you use when quenching and is it safe for when eating? And last Will these rust or form any kind of oxidation overtime that can cause harm to you if you were to eat with them? Love the vids 😁

i love it when these guys take machete's whittle them down and call them cutlass's, when they are really only falchions

The smell of sheep and their droppings always takes me back to my grandma and the dyke by the North Sea. I like going to craft fairs and looking around, it's a nice place to get talking and find a new project. Greetings from Germany

What a nice fair. I love them. In Spin is very typical too. Regards Dustin

nice ride

you talk too much

It's so mind-boggling how the world does not even care they seen what Israel did to the first half of the other cities left in the rubble and they're allowing them to start on Rafa to destroy all their buildings there's going to be nothing left for nobody and what about the Pope you think that SOB would ever come out of that castle to stand up for people at any time anywhere they don't do Jack schitt amazing what good are they

Where is this wonderful place?

For dinner tonight.....I will be setting out Viking eating spikes! Guess we won't be having spaghetti?

That must have been a blast. Can't wait to see them in action.

The hardy tool is a fuller. Very useful! Looks like a magic place!

How deep is it burning in? 3 thow?

Nice grinder,I'm going to get one asap

That place looks awesome!! How often does he have sales and is it open to the public?

Dude, I don’t know if I would ever leave that spot. Definitely a treasure chest of awesome stuff! Thanks for sharing!

I’d spend it all at that sale

Awesome video Dustin! I really love sales like this! Rusty old tools are pure gold to me, and they usually only need a good cleaning, and they are back in action! Now I've got the itch for the summer time sales! LOL! Thanks for sharing my brother! 💙🔥😎👍🏻
