That rivet thing is super neat! I didn't even know you could do something like that. I learn something new every video 😀👍
Me too.
Arts & Crafts with Scoutcrafter, I love it!!☻
There is no doubt that the Scouts you tutored received much more than they could have ever imagined; each of your videos are a learning experience. Thanks again for the effort you put into them!
Thanks for the detailed of the ax restoration
The rivet made with a roofing nail is such a great idea! I love how you make the stencil for the handle decoration. 👍
John , very nice leather work even though the snaps are backwards. I have installed more then I can remember. The roofing nails for rivets is genius. You always amaze me with your knowledge of the poor mans fix. Thank You
How have I lived 62 years without knowing that rivet trick?! You earned a sub ! Bravo!
Leather is such a unique material they can not replace it with modern plastics, and it looks beautiful. The leather work makes the axe stand out.
Thanks for sharing this information. I especially like how you used a nail and a bolt to make a rivet.
Hey scout, this video should have the title ‘Scoutcrafters Top Tips’ absolutely brilliant 🤩 especially liked the felt nail and washer.. and I’ll definitely be using the masking tape and wax paper tip! Great stuff ! Cheers Rob 😁
You sure give tutorials on your projects. It’s greatly appreciated! Thank you
The DIY rivets are pretty nifty!
The axe is great. I like the graphics and thanks for showing how to create them. I have a project that needs an axe handle and your training should help.
I knew I saved that coffee can full of roofing nails for a reason, I took them from a guy that was going to throw them into a dumpster about 6 years ago, who knew! Thanks for all the tips, enjoyed the video young man.
I would have kept the nails as well. My friends call me because they know I will horde their trash. :)
😂. I too rescued nails from the trash! 😂👍
It's very interesting to see you using these poor mans rivets, Great work. I love craftmenship like that.
Gunstock stain is perfect for axe,sir...Everything is good at this axe,thnx for sharing us...
I will definitely use that rivet idea, what a great shop tip! :)
Gotcha boom 👍👍🔩🔩
From shortening at the handle's shoulder, to the eye fit, finish and the decoration at the knob end what a great job. Your mosh today with the explanations was excellent - a little bit of everything.
lookin' good, have a good one...
Those are very nice wedges. I've seen some incredible axe makeovers on the Tube. That's a good one you did.
Some people on TH-cam can do such fantastic work, we really are blessed to have this platform. Remember years ago it took decades to learn such skills! 😃👍
I saw that MufflerMan! (Lumberjack style). Thanks for the rivet refresher.
Always interesting and informative content. You are a fantastic artist. I would pay to take votech classes from you. Thank you for your videos.
Man that was great with the homemade rivets. Now everyone will go searching for copper nails and washers lol
Very good information today. Thank You for taking the time to share this with us! I will be working on my dad’s axe in the near future and won’t be going into it completely blind now.
The Double Bit Axe you restored is BEAUTIFUL. Love the finish & wedge work. I have my Uncles AXE from the C.C.C. Camps, it's stamped 1937. Needs a new handle, the one on it now is severely warped. Hope mine turns out 1/2 as good as yours. THANX for a wonderful video
Civilian conservation corps! Wow! I can only imagine the awesome stories that your Uncle told. Honestly we could use that today. What a awesome piece of history you have! Thanks! 😃👍
Do a video on reading calibers and why you should save cardboard and their uses.
I think those wedges listed as hedge are Osage Orange. Liked the Paul Bunyan at the end. Just saw a video from a company that restores those old fiberglass giants. Glad they do it.
Hedge Apple is another name for Osage orange
@@RickyMcRick It has quite a few names depending on locality As part of the Great Plains Shelterbelt, the WPA planted 220 million trees 30,233 shelterbelts. Saddly they have mostly torn out.
What an amazing episode. Thanks for the plug and I’m sure Carl will appreciate the business for his hobby. He is a great part of the axe community and deserves the credit. He puts out a great product. I am especially looking forward to the leather tutorial. I please ask for in depth explanations and how to’s!!! I suffer for analysis paralysis on leather working!! Cheers!!!
Thanks Ricky! You really hooked me up there! Lifetime supply! 😃👍
Great video like always very informative , i can't wait for the tutorial on leather work It is a whole new field
Another great Video. I liked the masking tape and wax paper trick. The book recommendation was great too.
John great episode. Tons of information for us. Thank you for sharing.
Great idea on the rivets, I sure hope to try it out once. Maybe after my axe is sharpened. Though I am a bit scared of the leather because of the moisture. Thanks!
Alex- Usually the leather doesn’t pose much of a problem indoors, however if it gets wet as you know it will hold moisture and that’s where the problem starts. 😂👍
Genius idea on how to make the design on the ax handle. My father was part owner in a company that made and installed granite gravestones. This is the same method my father used to put designs on tombstones. They would cut designs out of a thick rubber and glue it to the smooth granite and sandblast it. The sand bounced off the rubber and ate away the granite.
had forgotten this thanks for the reminder.
Working with stone is a true art! I bet your Father had hands of steel!!! 😃👍
Great rivet tip!! Thanks
Great show. I enjoyed the tips.
Great information very relaxing
Thanks for todays lessons will be putting them to use over the summer.
This video went by so quick. Very educational! Thanks again, John.
Great info on the rivets and wedges!
Have a great day!
I can never stop learning.
Great book. I love mine.
Wow, great followup mosh. That's cool, dude. Love it. You know I read a lot. Might get that 📙 book.
Great job John thanks
Yes yes yes people want to see the steps,the material, and the how, they don't just want to watch they want to learn too like that Mustee guy and 65 Ford fellow...great video...🖖
This was all good and my hammers are allo simple but between you and Unc, yall probably have multiples of every tool and more that's in the book! I saw Snoopy wedged in with the cans too. BLESSINGS 2 U, John!
All good on the explain. For wedges, I save my notch cuts from tree felling.
Always wanted to be a Lumberjack.....What could be better than living in the Wilderness and wearing Red Plaid Shirts?
I particularly like their breakfasts! 😂👍
Thanks Scout, great trick with the rivets 👍👍👍 Cheers Stuart 🇦🇺
Great video. Full of a lot of nice information. You're really good at explaining things.
Really like the tape/ wax paper trick, another thing I just have to fool around with!
Fantastic tip with the painters tape and wax paper thanks. Don't know if you have seen a channel called Marty's Matchbox Makeovers, but he uses a drill press to peen over the ends of the axles for his toy car restorations. The finish he gets is really neat, and now I'm wondering if it would work to peen copper rivets?
Funny story- I was one of Marty’s first subscribers! He had less then 1000 subs and I thought to myself “I hope he goes viral” 😂👍.
Great mosh...it DID fly by!
At the end of your video you feature a statue of Paul Bunion, I saw a video of a company that searches America for old Paul Bunion statues and restores them, as they were produced in the 60’s in a small number and then production ended. It was very interesting on how they do it and the history of it the video is on TH-cam, I don’t have the title but I’m sure a basic search will give you a result. I just thought I would share it I thought it was interesting.
Look up Joel Baker Americangiants on Instagram! How cool is that!!!!! 😃👍
Love the mid week mosh really interesting stuff the wedges
We’re really nice the are hard to get sometimes great stuff scout
God bless take care 🙏👍🦅🇺🇸🗽🇳🇿
Good one! Who would have thunk to use a roofing nail?? Those Tandy rivets are $27 here in Canada.
👍🇺🇸
I could see using Pinking Shears as a way to make a cool design on the tape to transfer to the handle.
This is another fine educational, and entertaining video, cheers !
"No Snoop", always good, tank for sharing
Over my head on the shelf! 😃👍
Hi John, thanks for the wedge info. Carl is going to have a big spike in sales I think. I’ve already e-mailed him. What reference were you showing that listed the wooden handles?? I’m guessing McMasters probably has them but haven’t taken the time to look quite yet. I have a bunch of tools with loose handles I need to fix. Loved your trick on your handle template. Very clever. I’ll be putting that into my bag of tricks for sure. Great rivet explanation. I never thought to use roofing nails. You are truly amazing source of tips and tricks. Thanks for sharing with all of us.
Best Regards,
John
John- I don’t know where that image came from- I was googling around looking for pictures! 😂👍
Another great video. I also love leather work. Many years ago I made a pistol holster. But I used leather laces instead of rivets. Turned out very well. Love your idea on making those stencils. Great idea. 👍👍❤.
Larry- The only time I worked overtime at my job was to buy a leather sewing machine! It was $1200 and I couldn’t believe they were so expensive! 🫣😂👍
@@ScoutCrafter I laced my holster by hand. Took quite awhile but managed to get it done. Was quite a challenge..lol..
excellent video, I get some leather for projects on my poor mans flea market, look for discarded leather furniture. Certain areas of the furniture have minimum wear, like the arm rest or back of the piece that faces the wall.
That book is full of tools, I havent needed to use mine yet. Love the look of rivets. Someone had to really be looking close to catch the snap mix up. I would have never caught it.
1Lupus must be a leather worker! 😂👍
Nice rivet hack. Wonder if your tool catalog lists a centrifugal drill press-ever come across one?
I have never seen one in person- My post drill press is a variation of one but I assume you are talking about the ones with the flywheel balls! They are just lovely looking!!! 😃👍
Seen one on TH-cam yesterday. Had to be restored. Some dude drenched it in copper paint.🤮
Came out fantastic & working again.
Great information!
About double bit axes. An old timer a long time ago, because now i am an old timer lol, told me that most double bit axes are actually two different axe shapes. One of them is shaped and designed to fell trees and the other half is shaped as a more general use axe or as he called it a camp axe for cutting and splitting wood and trimming branches. I don't know for a fact is that is true but if you look at any given double bit axe you will see that one half is a little different just like the one you so beautifully restored.
Tim- I have heard the same thing from a lot of people saying that the two bits were traditionally sharpened different. However, when they came from the factory, they were identical, so I think whoever use the ax would customize it to their particular use. 😃👍
Wouldn't that give roofers fits during tear offs! if you riveted on your shingles with roofing nails?
😂😂😂👍
Wax paper fire starter, brilliant sir…
Seriously you have to try it. My personal fire starter for years is a cotton ball slathered in Vaseline and wrapped in a piece of wax paper. My personal favorite. Burns long and clean. 😃👍
Great video 👍 That was a pretty good way to make designs for your🔨 hammers or 🪓 axes with just wax paper and painters tape,great information! Also great information on how to make rivets out of roofing nails . I bet if you had copper roofing nails they would look good also . That tool you made out of a bolt , that was fantastic!,great idea 💡. Great way to make rivets if you don’t have any or on a budget and can’t get them.👍 I also liked the information to properly install and get the right kind of wedges for your wooden handles. Could I use this rivet method with the home made bolt tool and install those type of rivets in a metal box like a socket box or tool box? Well again great video and you have a great evening. 😀👍
Steven- Honestly it was my first time trying the rivet washer idea but if you can find washers that are snug fitting it would be even better! You should have to drive the washer on with force for best results. 😃👍
You can get aluminum nails and washers also.
Yes! I am sure they would peen over much easier. 😃👍
BOOM 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I would like to see the reprofiling and sharpening of an axe or hatchet !
👍
What kind of wood do you think will be the ax handle of choice now that the ash trees are in such trouble?
🛠👍😊
Question: I have many hammers and some sledges that need new handles. Can you recommend a handle supplier?
I dealt with Beaver tooth before, nice stuff but I like buying in bulk for some crazy reason! 😂. beaver-tooth.com/products/lot-of-24-wholesale-hammer-handles-assorted-sizes-types-hickory
@@ScoutCrafter My wife thinks I only know how to buy in bulk. I say if we need one today why not get four and save a trip in two or three years. Thank you. I appreciate that you watch the comments and respond. You are a gentleman.
Gotcha!
Hedge woos Osage orange
Great mosh. I want to go to Scout🗜rafter’s adult scout camp and learn stuff. Loved the rivets!
I always thought an adult scout troop would be the best thing ever!!!
@@ScoutCrafter , there’s adult folk school. Why not?
