Where can I buy these polished metal disk 9:48?

When i was a kid i was taught how to sharpen a western\American push saw. I struggled at first with holding the file at the right angle so my dad cut a 4 inch section of square dowel (3\4 inch) and used the saw to put a groove down the middle about a quater of the way through. The end he cut at the correct angle so I could just slide it down as I went and I have a wood guide to keep it consistent. Worked pretty well for me and even once i hot to where i could do without I still used it so I could have a visual reference point. So if anyone is struggling with that the way I did it may be a good option for you. I think it would apply here just the same.

That belt sander was way to fast! There is a stunning hewing axe for sale, i found it on German ebay. Looks beautiful! And new!

I would love to use some Japanese axes, but very expensive in the UK. Not much info given on ebay. You can clearly see the facets on the handle.would love to use those hewing axes!

When you strop the edge, you always get a convex edge, a tiny micro convex edge. Because the leather is soft.

My lord, thats a lot of effort if you have 20+ logs to de bark

yeah ... too much talking not enough action.

This video could have been effective at 90% of it's published length. Get to the point please.

My dad never let the kids play with axes & sharp things. 🤔 I kinda feel deprived…touching video. ✊🍷🎩🎩🎩🙏

Thank, very knowledgeable!

Should you work on you technic of lifting on the return stroke it will cut and last longer.

cut ur hair u look ridiculos

I have one of these axe heads, and boy am I glad I watched this video before fitting a handle to it.

wonderful.

Wait, the three plate method for surface plates comes from sharpening stones???

The hair adds excitement and credibility to everything you say

Does anyone know if we can get spotted gum in the states?

Awsome ,love this. Im trying to sharpen swords and kitchen knives in a survival situation

I watched some videos and thank you for using Japanese tools when your country also has excellent tools. From Japan

Could you do it w out talking please? Step 1 to Step 2 to Step 3 etc

How to make a NATURAL sharpening stone ? I would have to find one already made ! It takes a while to make a fossil. I should have started sooner !

Excellent! Nice strength to weight ratio. Man that outdoor chop saw station is badass! What a great idea to keep the good times rolling, rain or shine!

Much respect, hope you can continue to make videos and share your hard earned knowledge. Thanks!

Way cool! I live in coastal Northern California, and am lucky enough to split old growth (and second growth) redwood part time for work. My old timer mentor taught me that when making shingles or shakes, it really matters which direction you push/twist the froe, especially if the backside of the tool is slightly mushroomed(it bites into the wood). Pushing the froe handle away as you work down a split will put a small amount of compression into the far piece if that makes sense. Pulling the handle toward you can put tension into the piece further away from you(especially if your froe is rusty or textured near the sharp edge. Old growth Redwood is much more springy than ash, so it’s easier to manipulate. Fat grain second growth redwood is weak and brittle in comparison. Pushing hard on the end of a split (building up compression) can help it carry the line if it’s wanting to run out toward the face or thin out. Anyhooter, supa stoked to find your channel mate, man vs wood is a timeless tradition that’s never going out of style. Sometimes I’m bummed I wasn’t born 150 years ago, but yotube is pretty amazing!

Awesome video! This just connected a bunch of concepts for me, totally makes sense you want the tool to ride back out of the cut when hewing, and tool geometry is the key to forcing the cut into a curved path. Understanding a tree as a long bundle of fibers is how I was taught to fall timber and buck logs, we almost always cut the compression side first to maintain control as long as possible. The side under tension is really what’s keeping a live tree standing, or a big log spanning a draw from shattering/exploding. Really cool to think about the axe creating tension in the fibers at the cut (and compression on the outside of a chip as the chip is forced into a curve). Really glad I saw this before attempting to tune up my old broad axe! I would have just flattened the back like a chisel. Thanks again, this kind of wood and tool knowledge is hard to find in my part of the world.

I cringe when I see woodworkers on KZfaq not pre-drilling the holes. It ruins the screws when you don't pre-drill the hole, because it puts way too much torque on the screw, and wood screws are extremely brittle and the slightest over torquing when driving with a modern power tool will bend or break them. In very soft woods, you can get away with no pre-drilling, but only for 1 1/4" or shorter screws, and only in pine, or hemlock, and not near the ends. If you don't want to pre-drill screws, then make sure to find proper #10 size or larger lag screws designed for high torque, high load--don't use #8 size drywall screws or flimsy brittle gold screws, or stainless steel screws, unless you pre-drill.

8:17 - did you cover up those holes in the board? If so - what method did you use to repair it?

Great video, just got yourself another sub 👍

where would you recommend someone who dosnt know his area to good to look for better quality of Natural stones selfmade? I have aldready bought many myself so i know what they feel and smell like but. i my local area I have no idea where to really search for better quality. I do live close to forest and I can track myself to rivers if needed

I like the project and the hair! Your hair leads one to the believe you’re a genius tormented by your mind. I would run with that! Otherwise, your project is functional and fun to watch, thank you so much for sharing!

Subscription added!! Great video. With everything I learned, I can't wait to see how thrilled my mother will be when I show her that her new granite kitchen counter can be used to flatten all of my wavy sharpening stones. I bet I could sharpen all her knives to a mirror finish, of course, seeing how shiny the granite is. Thanks for the awsome video!! I look forward to enjoying many more!!

Dan Dustin believes that the point of a single bevel axe is to simply make the edge sharper. He hewed with the bevel side towards the work piece. Everyone interested should watch "from tree to beam"

That was a great video, thank you, can you demonstrate how to sharpen a hewing axe?

More please

you look like michael shanks, loved the video

Good video. 2 minutes of very useful info. But no need to spend first 30 seconds reiterating the title of the video. 100. 0% of people watching have read the title & know the video is about removing bark. No one just watches random youtube videos wondering what they are about.

You’d be unbelievably lucky to find any of these stones being any finer than mid grade. You won’t be getting razor sharp edges from these.

Good vídeo. ¡Gracias por compartir!

Do this for, a while. Equals hours/days

Have you gone to Camp Missing?

What i do is just use my machete, its a bit hard on the arm until you get used to it but it skins out a log nice and quick you just gotta give bigger swings into the knots

I'd be interested to hear why you say 'falling axe', rather than 'felling axe'

Nice rocks I'd take some off your hands can I get a kick down to get down

Great Idea I will look at rocks in a different way now Thanks

Damn, you know your stuff! Absolutely wonderful!

Took me a while to figure out that the secondary bevel on the single bevel axe--was on the opposite side of the blade--not on the same side as when talking about a secondary (or micro) bevel on a chisel or plane blade. But I got there in the end! Very interesting information on the action of the convex bevel. I haven't done much axe work and had no idea. We still have a fair bit of wooden boat building going on here in Maine and a co worker told me about a customer who brought some rough timbers to the yard where he worked at the time, and wanted them adzed smooth. He was very loud and brash about it and insisted that the boss 'put his best axeman on it'. In typically Maine fashion, the boss just nodded--and did just that! The customer was very upset when he came back for his beams. They were perfectly silky smooth. He'd wanted the rough hewn surface that you get in old barns! We do use broad axes occasionally on timbers of large vessels--mainly out of interest. If you have a Mafel power plane with a six inch blade, you can be knee deep in heavy shavings in no time--and it gets the job done--that and a chainsaw. We all love old tools and have some we use constantly.

what a legend!

I like the Japanese finishing adze...if done right it leaves a beautiful wavey finish almost like rounded fish scales that is beautiful and almost glassy smooth...

its insane that people will spend half an hour listening to this theoretical blah blah instead of just going hands on and see whats good for them. folks, hewing is a multisecular art thats been passed on orally without the need to split hairs like this young man is trying to do here. many great hewing videos on youtube but this is not one of them.

v.v wish I could find something that can teach me what to look for in a stone that can be turned into a Whitestone. My local bedrock is Granite. So this kinda dont help but a great vid overall
