Where can I find friends like that?

That wasn’t him carving , the bench changed colour .

C'est un bord scandinave ?

Kind of like the cartoon of Paul bunion against a guy with a chainsaw. Lots of fun

Robin you don’t use angle in sharpening at all? Just flat sharpening outside and inside also?

Why do you just use mdf with compound for stropping and not a leather strop?

Thank you. I use Pfeil lino tools but it's very helpful for those too. I've been to scared to ruin them so far.

Nice edge!

Hope its not hardend yet

So im not supposed to struggle intensly with every pull of my hook knife, only to carve away a jagged sliver of wood?????

Hi Robin I am a total newbie,just brought a bundle on eBay your axe and spoon gouge, 3 rolls of grit paper. When you use the broom pole for your knifes and last board shown in this video with the polish cream do they have leather stuck on? Thanks

Hi Robin. Can you put a link to the sticky backed emery paper rolls? I can't find them online.....

To all of the people complaining about the toes, I'm just some random kid in the U.S who thought this was cool, so I got a Japanese hewing axe and tried this out. No experience, no skill, and guess what? All my toes are still here, because once you use the full swing of the axe, the axe is lower than your feet, and your feet are on top of the log and not on the side of it.

Rest in peace grandad I miss you more and more everyday I will always love you ❤

Hello robin hud😊

I heard very good opinions about the Woodglut plans.

how about the heating af the axe, isnt that bad

Empowered great video live this guy

thanks for the instruction clip - I got a few more aggressively curved blades .... that means the more artistic I have to move my wrist .

What's the angle on an axe? I heard that it's often 20 degrees, 20 separately on both sides or 10 degrees that end up producing a 20 degree angle?

MBE! Well done sir. Keep the top notch videos coming please.

No music, please.

Serious question. Must an axe blade be razor sharp for survival use?

only 15 years ago

👍👍🎯🎯

Awesome video mate, many thanks.

the music choice is impeccable, I love the vibes 😂

Richard Raffan and your self came on to my channel the same day and i was in bliss

Nice video. I have one of your axes and love using it to save time getting a spoon blank ready. It's a shame more people don't work with wood for recreation and mindfulness. I am not very good but have made spoons, wands, slingshots, staffs, sticks, shoe horns and back scratchers...they are not brilliant but people really seem to enjoy them. There is something very calming working with natural materials like wood and leather

I have always thought I would love working with wood but I was so bad at it...I trained as a 3D Designer but when I was in the workshop it was horrific. But since I have discovered carving now I am on the right track. Slowly getting a small kit together but wood working tools are super expensive here (Perth, Western Australia). Love watching your clips.

I think I saw some familiar faces in the spoon carving segment!

Beautiful film. I use my axe that you made most days and my life would be poorer without it. I didn't realise you had been awarded an MBE well deserved.

I've been struggling with sharpening my hook knife for months, almost gave up hope untill I sat and tried your method..it works so well! carving my spoons is such a pleasure now when before it was a drag. liked and subscribed!

Good little video! Right to the point & no fluff!! Thanks 👍🏼

Very good carving video. Thanks for showing us and take care.

Superb video on this. Experience always shows although not everyone can pass it on quite as well. {:o)

This may be an older video, but it lead me to up your website, which led me to buy a carving axe (large version), a sheath for the axe, as well as a (short run) deeply curved hook knife. Unfortunately it’s a bank holiday where you are, so I’ve got to wait even longer before you get a chance to send it, across the ocean to me in the states!

Well, Robin - it's going to be a while before _you_ become morbidly obese!

I _love_ your workshop!

This looks sensible and straightforward.

…and not a single toe missing

Great tutorial. Thanks.

I’ve just bought one of these axes it arrived today,I thought I might have to sharpen it before use so I watched this video first ,….. straight out of the box cuts paper like a razor blade wow ! I’m very impressed with it thank you Robin.

Hello from America. You are a very talented man. It’s hard to have that steady of a hand on sharpening something. God bless you and your families. Duane

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Great to see history being kept alive.
