If you have access to a dog, of course you put it in the video. That’s almost mandatory. And you have some nice axes. I for one would be interrested in a video where you talk about them, as well as other pieces of your equipment.
Thank you for sharing your methods in this video. You are clearly quite an expert as far as I can tell! I have one question. I am surprised to see you trim the side with what looks to be a hatchet. As I learn more about hewing, it seems most prefer the broad axe at this stage. What is the appeal of this smaller axe you are using? Thank you for your insight!
Thank you and you are very welcome! It is definitely not a hatchet, i reckon it is about 1,5kg. :D There are several kinds of hewing axes, not all look like the typical broad axe. This one here is a french axe (not especially designed for hewing), and the french hewing axes tend to be longer or rather further away from the handle. It is just a different style of hewing axe
It is pinus silvestris, especially the knots can be harder than hard wood. The wood was partially frozen, which makes it always different to work with. I've hewn oak, which is the toughest (native) wood in my region
Awesome!! I am currently learning this myself. So satisfying.
Loving your channel so far, keep it up!
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoy what I do!
was hearing this while going to sleep rly relaxing
Sleep tight and sweet dreams :D
Thank you, look forward to the building project that will incorporate these beams!
Thank you, me too! :D
Beautiful work and beautiful dog!
Greetings from Montreal!
Thanks and I'll let Fiete know! :D Greetings back from Germany
I really enjoyed watching this ! I will be getting my first broad axe here soon. I have many beams I need to hew.
Toll, wie Leeroy hier wieder moderiert hat! 😍
Bei 13:20 ist er hinten durchn Wald gerollert 😮

It is the law!
Thank you for your feedback! I think I'll make such a video in the future.
Yep. Would love to know where you bought those axes.
Enjoyed this!
Glad you like it!
I love this, I will make samthing near this on my Chanel too. But finish the building...
Well this way preparing the building material is fun :D

@ 27:21 you looked at the blade, I would have been checking my toes. Be very careful taking big swings once the control slabs have all been taken off.
Super Video, könnt ich in Dauerschleife anschauen! Und tolle Äxte! Sehr authentisch
Why strip the bark off before hewing?
Saves your blade
It is easier to see the chalk line on fresh wood. Bark might fall off anyway and then you have lost the line!
Sand and grim sap ruin are hard on the blades
The trick is to hew cross the log and from the top to bottom of the log.
time lapse is your friend -- and ours
Check the video description why I did not do that, on purpose.
bro please tell me those are steal-toes.
They are not, but I am wearing chain mail protection in my boots. Check my first hewing video, I show them there!
OMG forget it. That wasn't even a soft pine was it ? If it was, woah, glad yer not in hardwood regions.

Why the haircut?
