#cricutmade #cricut #axeHandles
For anyone wondering, here's the reason why the axe handles are often curved:
First let me get this out of the way - no matter if you are using straight or curved handle, the amount of force your swing has will not change at all. Doesn't make your axe hit harder.
What it does do is shock absorbtion for the wood and your hand. The curves make the shock wave that travels from the head to your hand clash, and cancel each other, so your hand receives less of a shock wave back from the wood (or the skull of your sworn enemy) with each swing. Makes you tire slower, and avoid injuries to the hand and wrist caused by less well-designed handle.
It is however kind of a matter of preference, and I heard many people swear by straight handles. Those are also more durable as far as I know because the wood grain runs along the entire handle and doesn't have any odd places where it has to shift sideways.
I always thought they were curved to reduce the risk of it sliding out of your grip...go figure
@@fdort3971 That would be accomplished by some form of leather braiding around the handle, if you want to get fancy. Or by carving a little ergonomic handhold. Or by making the end of the handle a bit larger so it doesn't slip out. All of those can be introduced both to straight and curved handle. But the curvature of the handle doesn't really do anything for slippage.
Somehow, I knew this would be the first comment listed.
Brah.. next time just say ‘ergonomics’….
@@harolddecapodian2308 yeah, why don't you just explain everything with "physics" then?
Why do things fall down? Physics.
How do paints work? Physics.
Why cats scratch? Physics.
When you boil things down it's all about physics. Yet a short explanation with no detail will not be helpful to anyone.
If my answer is too long for you - please pat yourself on the back for being smarter than everyone in this comment section, but do this silently.
Now that’s irony… a Pittsburgh Steeler etching an Eagle onto an axe head.
This is giving me total God of War (the new remake one with Norse mythology) vibes! The big tree, the big bearded axes. It's so awesome!
YES! Glad I'm not the only one who thought this! Would be a fitting entrance to the Hold of the "Ghost of Sparta"
I am loving how we're seeing you literally look at this from start to finish - a lot of projects you do are awesome, but feel like there's a lot of planning before hand (and obviously a lot of the time there needs to be, getting materials, etc) but that has happened off camera, this feels like we're seeing your whole process, and it's awesome to watch.

I love everything about the doors! The Cricut is an awesome tool, I cut vinyl decals as a side hustle and it is my cutter of choice. I also use it to cut the stencils to etch the maker's mark on my knives. Helpful tip if you plan to do more etching, use a 50/50 mixture of distilled water and apple cider vinegar then add salt to the point of saturation.
What was the software called to download for the cricut?

I've been working a VERY long time (I'm Old) and every time I watch your stuff, I learn something new. Etching the metal was very cool. If a day goes by and you don't learn something, you're probably dead...
and Amen.
Handles came out killer...with the doors.. It looks like the entrance of a medieval hall and as they open up and there would just be a giant table full of the meats.... Just awesome, blown away and inspired
Those axe-handles really round off the entire door and pulls the design together. Beautiful work as always...
At 13:23, when you explained this process, it reminded me of restoration channels. My mechanics had a similar process.
Those handles are fantastic. Great idea, well executed. I watch a few wood working/ builder channels, but this is my favorite. Enjoy the self depreciation humor, not taking your self too seriously, but also not being over the top dumb on purpose. Mistakes are gonna happen, laugh, learn and move along.
Alright you say "this might be the coolest thing we ever made" after everything you make...but.....that might actually be the coolest thing I've seen you guys do. Sick and sweet !!!
to get a better result wrapping leather on a handle like that, soak the leather in warm water for 10-20 minutes. then wrap it, as it dries, it will shrink, tightening the wrap, and giving it a much better look, as well as being better in hand if it was on something you were actually using.
A cool product to spray metal is called Dull Coat. It's a flat finish clear coat(no gloss or shine) You can get it in a rattle can at hobby store. I've used it on building model railroads for decades.
For the record, I can hear the nice audio in this one and love it
This entire door/handle project is maybe the best looking thing you've done!
The Cricket seems like a great product, but my God the amount of steps it's takes to get the final product is insane.
Yeah guys, that is pretty f'in sick looking.
Cricuts are awesome for stencils to use on the bandsaw as well for folks without CNC routers. Particularly more useful when making multiple of the same thing, as you don't have to worry about tracing or perfectly matching a handmade paper stencil. Great stuff as always.
That's an awesome idea, using the cricket to etch the heads! I'm going to try that!
And John "Diresta" Melecki strikes again! 👏👏👏
Squirrely factor: 1,000,000. Pretty awesome looking build. Now I want to try power carving with my Dremel.
Torching wood also leaves a super rad organic look if you ever want to try that instead of the glazing technique.
The curve adds leverage with the swing so you refrain from using a full arm swing
With Miss Piggy through those doors, the automatic sound should be the opening to War Pigs by Black Sabbath
Those are freaking awesome. And now as I am feeling shame I will go watch the door build.
That!!! Right there! Is AWESOMENESS
Got 3 doors to do for my house and it's cool to see how you carved them doors and make them handles, opens up alot of channels for me..very cool...
I like seeing all the metal working with the plasma table in the background. 😂
John, those handles are awesome. I've seen the electric etching before and have always liked it. Beautifully done, all the way around. And Gimli (plus Thorin Oakenshield) would approve.
That came up looking so sick!
Lovely job with the etching. I often etch copper for flight boards using acid and vinyl stencils, but another trick you can use the vinyl cutter for is for staining wood. I've made several wood signs without a CNC by prepping the wood with Shellac then laid down the stencil and hit it with some Gel Stain. Takes a while to dry, and might need two coats but the result is fantastic and with the stain you see the grain under the design.
Not sure I’ve ever seen the eyebolt trick for drilling a straight hole. Brilliant!

19:13 Axes That Kratos [God of War] would use 🤣
Those are most definitely BadAss design John and boys. You guys should definitely get a Forge and blacksmithing a couple of things here and there . As a fellow maker I am a beginner blacksmith. I really love how they turned out. Hopefully you guys get great use out of them for many years to come. Can't wait to see more videos soon. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friends. Weld on. Fab on. Keep making. Stay squirrely. God bless.
I think they make an attachment for the cnc plasma that allows you to trace something that it can then cut out. That would be a sick addition to the flow. Love your content, keep up the awesome work!!
I've made a pen plotter head for my CNC. Plotting is useful.
Just a thought, but you could've welded a stud onto the axe head, drilled a through-hole with a counter-bore on the backside, and tightened down a nut into the hole on the backside of the handle.
The curve in the handle is to reduce shock and build inertia if I member correctly. Same concept as a framing hammer.
please do a man vs machine, John with only hand tools vs Sam with battery powered tools vs Jordan with what ever he likes.
Out-freaking-standing. Thank you.
Blacksmith that frequently makes axes, and while I wanted to judge for not having a forge on site or blacksmith on staff, watched to the end and find no judgement in the execution, them are sick as heck
Those doors are SO awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this is the best video/build so far guys! 🔥🔥🔥
“Make it something proud gimli wouldn’t mind yielding” such a way with words
Chris fix has a really good video on etching. I think he recommends using vinegar instead of water. The extra acidity will help etch better and he also uses a car battery charger. It has more juice than a 9v to do more
Etching can be weird. Or at least plating can be. Etching is the reverse of plating. It's the same process but your sacrificial piece is your finished product when you etch. That's the difference. But more juice doesn't always mean better effect.
This is just awesome. Great craftsmanship!!!
they must be the coolest workshop doors ever. awesome.
My wife uses a Cricut for making stickers/signs, ive ordered a load of 9v batterys.
she dosnt know it yet but i have plans for that cricut haha beautiful work guys 👍
One of your best projects yet.
not sure if this might help but why not drill a hole through the head of the axe handle and weld a 1.5 inch long all thread to the back of the axe head. you would get the appearance of the axe with out to much squirrelly bits
Awesome!!!! Those fit the doors perfectly!! Great job!
Absolutely love those doors and the handles are awesome. Great work. I so want those doors in my house.
Looks sick! IMHO I reckon a tribal squirrel would've been better than an eagle. But it came out awesome nonetheless.
Would ya look at that!. Awesome work you guys!
Nurse Eric back to say I love yet another project that is done. The doors and the handles are amazing. This is why you need to put out content more often, just saying my brother. Love watching and learning from the channel!! Keep up the great work!! 🇺🇸🦅🦅😉
Nice work!
The cricut I have is a handy little robot.
I learned the other day they have Bluetooth so easy to cut stuff without plugging into computer.
Sickest project yet by far!
I agree with you it looks so good. Wood doors the finish is amazing. Keep doing what your doing
Those doors are handles are unreal. .
Magical 🚪 doors. Absolutely beautiful piece of art.
Ya know ... for a project comprised of a shit ton of squirreliness, allow me to add on to your description of how those axes came out - FUCKING SICK!!!
They look insanely amazing!! We are obsessed with the entire door and handles!
I like and approve those handles. So sick John. They look awesome
Yinz continue to have fun and make awesome projects!
Just badass guys! love it..
Looks cool, though i would have lifted them up so you mostly use axe handles as handles to avoid messing things up. Also mounting options... using two part epoxy that mixes in the nozzle for couple dips is just wasteful as all hell. Just use basic 5min epoxy and put treads on the metal cylinder so you can screw it in from the another side. On axe head, could have done that from the get go with welding. If you dont have metal lathe around, just go check neighbor they out to be and take maybe 5 bucks to make 6 parts like that.
Awesome John! That etching technique is very cool!
John I love your work. But you should have gone to a Pburg blacksmith and let them build the ax head for you. Thereby allowing you to seriously focus on and create the handles. The resin is such a low rent option and doesn't really fit the doors
The etching and engraving took a pretty cool project and put it over the top
Heck yea I love the axes for the doors. It finishes the doors . Awesome job
Absolutely beautiful I am really Loving your channel thanks
Wish I could give you more than one thumbs up on these. They look awesome!
We just built sliding barn doors for our house, but now I want to do this instead lol
Awesome Project. Love the etching and that it's a DIY. Great video
Those look great! I actually like the fact you did not ‘use up’ any perfectly good axes making them, but chose to make ‘faux’ axes. I hate seeing good working tools turned into ‘art’.
If someone hurt themselves on those handles, they are drunk as skunks. 😂
Love the design! Beautiful work! 👍🏼
Those axe handles really tie the room together
Those came out sick
the coolest thing you have ever made. Amazing!
Glad you think so!
@ 2:30, a clear reason why plasma cutters were invented. Expensive, yes! But in a shop this well equipped, its a no brainer.
John even has a CNC plasma cutter.
its a prop, do it in wood and paint it.
I have seen several people use a car battery charger instead of a 9V battery. It depends on what you have on hand, how often you etch.
Way beyond cool! You've inspired me to make a pair myself!
1000 times yes :) love those handles !!! And the door 😍 well done John !
Your Doors are looking crazy awesome. Best Greeting from Germany
Should have used ravens instead of eagle's. Would have fit the old Viking axe look
One of the greatest projects I’ve seen and hands down the best door handles out there! I’m going to make these for every door in my house, which means I’ll probably be divorced in 6 months but damn, they’re cool!
John You are the definition of a craftsman! Awesomeness….
Love the whole package! Those handles are epic! Wrapped and all! Well done y’all!! You are gonna spoil that boy, John!!
Thanks for being an inspiration
It's briliant, beautifull job 😍
You're giving me too many ideas, and I love it! These turned out better than I could have imagined!
Some random person, one day, is going to end up in the shop one night somehow (maybe after TEOTWAWKI), drunk off of their a**, and see those doors. They're going to think they're about to go on a huge adventure, where there will be magic, dragons, danger and epic battles fought over princesses and sh*t... and they will be thoroughly confused when they see a CNC machine, before they pass out for the night on the table...
Edit: And here I thought this whole time I needed a 200$ machine to produce an etch on a piece of steel. Along comes John and does it with the battery that's in my smoke detector...
Thanks!
Great job on thr handles, looks awesome.
That’s frickin awesome 😎
I have a Silhouette that you don’t need a cut matt it just goes off the roll so you can cut as long as you want ,the longest I’ve done is 48” ,the only limit is your width of cut so you have to stick for wide items which I did for a world map on a 43” diameter clock I made 😜
I find that the Xfasten woodworking tape is better IMO than painters tape and CA in most of my uses
Awesome!! Great job.
Those are freaking awesome!!!!!
I showed my wife this video and tried to convince her to make a pair for our living room doors she told me to go F off lol these are awesome great idea
Hey john stain the wood that's exposed on the plywood a charred color
Now u just gotta install automatic door closers on those doors since there are no handles to pull the doors in when you enter and it'd just be easier to have em close automatically. Also installing door stays/stoppers to hold it open would also be necessary.
