    Your skills are manifold. I was raised around people just like this including my mother the wood carver/furniture maker and my father the mechanical engineer who saw the world as a conveyor belt of raw material to make beautiful things out of. I thought this type of all around artisan was a dying breed but I see there's still a few of us left. Well done.

    Hey man that move with the table saw, in a million years, I don't think I would have thought or considered carving like that. Very innovative! Thanks for sharing your skills.

      +jimmydiresta Hey Jimmy, I just wanted to say you're incredible and your videos along with guys like Paul Sellers have taught me everything I know about wood working and over the last year I've learned so much, starting February I'm going to be apprenticed to a carpenter family friend. I was really impressed at how sharp the axe came out when you did the initial sharpening, you're really good at putting convex edges on axes! It's easy to mess up the geometry. That's one of the most beautiful axes I've ever seen. :D

      +Soulman1282 I was watching the vid, not agreeing with all the methods but ah well - the result was looking REALLY good, I loved the way the handle looked. Then I saw black, and I wanted to go and punch the maker of this video. One does NOT simply PAINT a handle, just like one does not kill a puppy. The natural colour and patterns of wood are the most beautiful thing you can get on there, and oil is the best way to preserve it

    • @atomfox3488
      @atomfox3488 8 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      sand blasting cabinet($150-$500 and about 5-10 sq ft of area to use), belt sander table($100-$300 3-8 sq ft), angle grinder($20-$100 store on a shelf, use on a work bench that takes up 20 sq ft), orbital sander($20-$50 shelf), band saw($200-$1000 10-20 sq ft to have enough room to use properly), table saw($100-$600 8-14 sq ft), reuse the bench and hand file($10) for fine shaping of the handle, leather punches and rivet tools($20-$100 used on the bench). To do the project as shown you need at least $1000(probably closer to $2000) for the equipment and over 100 sq ft of space. Not to say you couldnt do it with less and cheaper, but it'd take alot more time and effort. If you've had a shop for years the equipment lasts forever so once you pick up a tool it's easy to lose track of the whole cost over time and it doesnt cost much to store it, but building a shop from scratch is very expensive.

    Now I have an idea for a giant Axe !!!Oh, by the way, the handles on your draw knife are gonna slip right off ;-)

    I was a bit put off by the color choice for the handle, but it's your prerogative.
    I was wondering, do you plan to sell that axe? If so, I think the huge signature on the blade guard is a bit on the cheesy side. If it's just for personal use, it makes sense, since you could easily distinguish which axe is yours. But, if it's meant to be sold, a smaller "fancier" signature of some sort, in place of *BIG BLOCK LETTERS*, might have complemented the blade guard a bit better. Just a thought. :)

      I'll take your advice and respectfully disregard it.

    • @Sawta
      @Sawta 8 ปีที่แล้ว +26

      jimmydiresta Fair enough.
      Lee Adler Not sure if you meant me or him with that comment, but if it was directed at me, I would hardly say that I hated the end result, as it was certainly much better than I could have possibly done. I just wasn't crazy about it, so I thought it could be valuable to input constructive criticism. He disagreed, so whatever. If I said something like "hurdur, looks stupid xdDDD!" that would be a hater hating. Simply saying where I felt there was room for even more improvement would not.
      I don't feel like the reply Jimmy gave was all that bad either. He clearly liked how it looked or else he would have taken my advice. I don't believe that he would have been offended by what I would have said, as he seems to be confident in his own abilities as a craftsman; I would be surprised if he would have taken any of what I said to heart.
      TBH, it's the best possible outcome on both sides, considering the average level of civility in TH-cam comments.

    • @mr.preece8137
      @mr.preece8137 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      kick backs occur when the material comes under pressure against the rear of the blade. Running wood across the front of the blade will pull it down toward the table, not up and off.

    Good job. But why an ax handle painted black? It is better to treat the oil. it would have been nicer.

    • @rob_boss

  • @lenmorris9164
    @lenmorris9164 7 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    nice job as a decoration but a true fire axe never has the cutting end painted as during inspection you must inspect it for cracks also the finishing material is flammable beside like fire trucks fire axle must be red lol

    • @lilypower
      @lilypower 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +perky137 yes, but i almost think he uses glass beads, because he had such a nice finish :) If it was sand it must have been a very fine and light kind, sand blasting usually makes a really rough surface, and is often way to agressive :P

    • @mcearl8073
      @mcearl8073 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      What was the purpose for blasting it first? Wouldn't the next steps of grinding and sanding it down accomplished the same thing anyway? Im not criticizing just wondering.

      Crazy x Freeze. Yes, actually it is a chamber in which you throw sand on an object using a sandblasting gun. Take a look at this video: th-cam.com/video/3sMhRP3Awnw/w-d-xo.html
