“That head is never coming off….” Right before he realizes it needs to come off because the head is upside down🤣
LOL exactly
@@dkbuilds haha keep up the good work man it turned out amazing!! That moment made my day😂
I knew something wast right
Hahaha I was wondering why it looked so weird.
This man is wearing ear muffs while hammering 🤣
Wouldn't u be worried about speration of the layers? I mean after a few months of solid use?
Good question! I haven't had any separate previously, but it's possible. I'll post an update video if I notice any separation.
Yeah, that was the only thing I was worried about too. You might wanna run some counter sunk hex bolts and nuts through few points in the handle to help with the stress and keep things from separating.
Not in a well prepped glue joint.
I wouldn't imagine you'd see delamination in a properly glued joint; it's stronger than the wood fibers.
@@dkbuilds leather wrap the handle real tight?
The fact this man replies to ever one of his comments shows how much he cares about his community
I sure do! I'm always trying to get better as a woodworker, as a video creator, and as a person. I appreciate the comment Mock!
You definitely earned my subscription and my respect just by how you handle constructive criticism. Too many people are too prideful and see any comment that isn't a compliment as a personal attack.
Awesome thank you Rilo, welcome to my channel! I'm always looking to improve, I love constructive criticism.
@@dkbuilds hey, can you either help me, point me to or make a video about draw knives? Like what's the best one most versatile and what's worth the money or not? I don't know my ass from my elbow but have found need for a draw knive on a couple of occasions but don't know where to start so just spent hours upon hours sanding instead. Lol...fml
@@rantional8180 Hey Rantion! If you don't know where to start I would recommend getting a cheap spokeshave either off amazon or from a local store. As important (or even more important) than the tool itself is your ability to get the blade very sharp (as you have to do this quite often). I recommend checking out some youtube videos about sharpening tools to see what that looks like! As for draw knives I don't actually know the best place to get one ... I don't have one myself! I keep an eye out at yard sales for them though.
“That head is never coming off”
Did you take it back off to turn it right side up lol. I’m still impressed with your craftsmanship dude. Looks pretty damn incredible.
LOL I did take it off and flip it around. I almost cried when I realized I set it upside-down first. Appreciate the comment Hugh!
@@dkbuildsThis is like woodworking in a nutshell - having near godlike patience when you do something upside down and have to redo steps lol
I’m SOOOO curious if you hammered the wedge in with the ax head on upside down, on accident or purpose for comments or something🙏🏼
Or maybe for views… I had to rewatch it multiple time to be sure I was seeing what I thought I was seeing😅
LOL yes I did and I only realized it like an hour later... I was devastated! I had to drill out the wedge and re do a lot of work to get it on correctly. You're only the second person to notice haha
I was just wondering the same thing
I came to ask that because it was funny how he said that axe head is never coming off and I though we’ll it’s coming to have to oopsie lol
@@dkbuilds i noticed but its okay! I literally did the same thing today, it hurt to have to take it apart
You didn't show the gorgeous side profile of the handle 😭😭😭😭 I feel incomplete now
Haha sorry Isaac! I show it in the full length video on my channel.
I was gonna say the same thing 🤦♂️
"Turns out it's pretty easy to make a new one" *hours later* "hammer the shit out of it"
LOL 😂
Those layered pieces of wood worked out pretty well!
Thanks Untrust I agree!
Wow man I really respect the dedication and patience you have to respond to all these comments. Subbed & liked.
Thanks Yacquub I love interacting with my viewers. Welcome to my channel!
Very quick and to the point description 👌🏽
Thanks!
excellent video, Thanks! (master cabinetmaker here) love the techniques you used. I rarely learn something about my craft from youtube, but you're the rare exception. Thanks again.
Wow thank you Richard! I'm proud to have shown an expert like yourself something new. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Looking good
Thanks Steve!
Interested to see how this holds up. Please make some follow up vids in the future!
Me too, will do! Thanks TTB!
Good job Hulk nice blend
Thanks Michael!
By far the easiest tutorial I've seen yet
Really appreciate this positive feedback!
Wranglerstar has very informative ans entertaining ways on how to properly put on an axe head if you were curious, this is also a very interesting video and comment that I enjoyed, so thank you for ir
Great tip I'll check out his videos soon!
He mostly uses Tennessee hickory.
Wrangler Star is a big jerk with a persecution complex.
The loop just makes it look like he instantly broke it again after the video ended
Lol that’s the best interpretation!
That subscribe message was so creative I had to
Lolol thanks! Welcome to the channel OmiKron
Thats dedication!!
I just bought 1 foot long.. Small hat hatchet!! Rubberized handle!! ❤
Winter times you know!!
Nice!
@@dkbuilds thanks ❤
Hey thanks for explaining this in such a way that an average Joe could do it. Some DIY videos are a bit intimidating, but this one was well done.
Thank you so much for the words of encouragement Rey!
“that head is never comin off”
My sweaty wife after losing a bet.
😂
Hey buddy, hope your having a good day. This video was very informative and its cool that you comment so much
Thanks man, I hope you’re having a good day too. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Easy for you, you know how to do it!
Haha very true!
You probably hoped nobody would notice that you had accidentally hung the head upside down , at least you caught your mistake at some point and corrected it.
You should leave about 1/8-1/4" of overhang, you also shouldn't leave such a sharp shoulder or shelf under the head because shock will eventually split that off.
Yes!! You are the first person to notice! I was devastated when I hung it upside down. I had to drill out the wedge and redo that process.
Agreed about the sharp shoulder shelf -- it should be rounded over.
Thanks for watching!
YES been waiting to find a video like thjs for a project
Hell yeah that’s awesome glad it was useful for you!
Thank you
Thank you for watching!
Don’t give up u r loved
Thank you Isabella I won’t!
Don’t hammer the wedge directly you’re more likely to split it. Also use a circular wedge since it applies pressure on all sides
Thanks for the tip!
Eh metal wedges are good but you dont have to have one a wood wedge is just fine
Wrangler star has the most accurate videos demonstrating how to make a handle and rehang an axe. The handle should almost always be solid hickory
Great tip thanks!
Almost always?
Now I want playing lumber Tycoon 2 😂😬
I've never heard of that game but I just looked it up, it looks cool!
@@dkbuilds yeah :)
Smart idea making plywood! That shit is strong!
Hell yeah thanks Matt!
I'm not even a Professional Homeowner so I'll just go get a replacement handle from the hardware store, but this is still pretty cool
Thanks! Nothing wrong with buying from the store!
Nice reference. Love wranglestar.
Pretty interesting to watch. Never thought I could want an axe just to make several backup handles for now. Lol
Lol! Thanks Shademourn!
Beautiful work!
Thank you Ruben!
That's a sweet ass handle. The color is just gorgeous! 😍
Thanks gw!!
Awesome refit, great job!
Thanks killin!
I’ve always wanted to make this
There's no better time than the present to make one, Lauchlan!
Wow, looks great!
Thanks Gage!
Way too cool. I love this video so much, it’s so oddly satisfying
Thank you so much for the kind words Whatnot!! Glad you like it!
I LOVE wood working so much!
Awesome me too!
It’s a snazzy looking handle. However, it’s no better than a well shaped quality handle
Agreed mercoid. I think it's as good as a quality solid wood handle, but not better than. Just looks nifty :)
lol live the upside down axe head, totally something i would do! 😂
😂😂😂
I love stuff like this, i wished that I had the general ability to build stuff like this. Good job man!
Thank you for the kind words! You can learn how to make stuff like this very quickly, it is easier than you think! I am totally self taught through TH-cam. Give it a shot! Thanks for watching
Beautiful work
Thanks so much Ksubii!
It looks so great! 🤩
Thanks so much Dorka!!
That is a beautiful well made handle.
Thanks so much Twiggy!
I subscribed because I respect Elmer. Good work, I like the look of the handle sandwich.
Hell yeah thanks Vance welcome to the channel!
nah this is only the second most badass hatchet handle I've seen today
Damnit!! 😂
"Put the head on by hammering the sh*t out of it" thanks, I needed that laugh, have my subscription
Lol thanks Phantom!!
Very nice work.
Thanks!
@@dkbuilds you're welcome
this is sick dude!
Thanks so much mista!
That is amazing
Thanks Oscar!
Idk why there so many axe handle DIYs on YT and for something I've never tried i sure am knowledgeable on the topic😅
LOL be careful that's how I started. Endless woodworking until one day I slipped up and accidentally started doing it myself. Now I'm hooked for life 😂
@@dkbuilds it transitioned to chopping wood for me and now i just really want my 'own' axe
i wanna save up all my money so i can start wood working as a hobby this mans living my dream
Do it! You can start woodworking for SUPER cheap with used and cheap tools, if you are patient!
New Subscriber. Keep the videos coming
Awesome thanks so much Mark! Welcome to my channel!
@@dkbuilds thanks buddy
I like the new handle ❤
Thanks Tena!
Earned my sub for the combination of the wood you laminated together. Love when I stumble across these diy woodworking videos. As mentioned before wranglerstar is also a good guy to watch on axe head attachments.
Hell yeah thank you for the kind words Tom! I'll check out Wranglerstar for sure!
I salute your effort mate, you've earned a subscription
Hell yeah thanks so much Red, welcome to my channel!
That pretty bad ass
Thanks Bram!
This was something I already knew how to do, but I want to thank you for showing others and for learning to do it yourself. Too many people replace instead of repairing, which is especially baffling with tools like this that were made to be broken and repaired. The disposable consumer economy causes tons of pollution and untold amounts of waste, as well as ultimately reducing everyone's capacity for personal independence, so people who choose to repair and reuse things warm my heart a little.
I couldn’t agree more. The disposable consumer economy drives me nuts. I try to repair everything I can. Thanks for sharing!
Oh, yeah... Pretty easy!
Thanks Mario I'm glad you agree!
I swing spike mauls for the railroad a lot. We break heads off all the time. We put the hardwood wedge in plus a steel cross pin in the top. An axe like that would prolly take a circular pin in the top.
Great tips thanks!
Those prandi german style hatchets are nice, I see you have the 600 gram version, I have the 800g version, the bit is so thin but has a slight taper, it is an AMAZING chopper, gets excellent penetration.
Hell yeah! I've been really happy with this hatchet. I mostly use it for spoon carving which is why I like the 600 gram version.
What a beautiful piece
Thanks so much Jackson!
@@dkbuilds no problem I love these shorts they're so relaxing
That's awesome!
Thanks so much for the kind words Skooka! Glad you like it!
Looks great
Thanks arson!
You really "flew off the handle" on this one lol
LOL love it. Thanks Jimmy!
I have used a farriers rasp to rough in shapes for stuff like this. Works pretty good.Probably any wood rasp would work.
That’s a great idea. Thanks for the tip doc!
You should have turned the axe at the end so we could see the beautiful layered pattern on the handle
Good point Anton! I have a full length build video on my channel which shows it in more detail.
Ooooh NICE!
Thanks!!
Gorgeous
Thank you RMB!
One fault with manufactured axe handles is that they tend to have sharp shoulders where the axe head mounting cutaway meets the main handle. Rounding off those corners off strengthens the structure.
Great tip G5 I totally agree. I should have rounded these off more
@@dkbuilds Cool. Mechanical engineering 101. Rolls Royce experimental aero engine apprentice 1974. Good practices formed early in life become second nature. We all walk a different path.
Peace
That is beautiful
Thanks so much Gene!
Brilliant 👏🏽🍻
Thanks Ras! Cheers!
Great work sir❤
Thanks Alex!!
I don't know why I watch these type of videos but I like it so whatever
I don't know either but I'm glad you watched!
Boiled linseed oil is good for the wood
Good tip thanks Bob! If I didn't have tung oil I needed to use up, I would have used BLO
That... is awesoommme 😎⛏️
Thanks Nancy!!
It looks amazing, but that’s borderline dangerous to use but it looks great
Thanks! What makes it dangerous?
This man worked out Damascus with wood.
Lol hell yeah!
You already oiled it, but burning the outside also protects it from the weather
Great tips thanks!
Beautiful
Thank you Rafael!!
"Its easy"
...
Alright just let me buy all that
Awesome! Once you buy it all come back and watch more videos of mine!
Great content.
Thanks so much!
Cool
I don't need an axe handle but I learned about stop cuts to make chiselling easier and carving wood using a chisel in this video
That's awesome Jack! So glad I could show you something that applies to other projects!
That's beautiful
Thank you for the kind words, SR!
Looks good but instead of a hammer you should use a mallet so that you don't accidentally damage the wedge
Love the handle btw
Great tip thanks!
Killer job dude 🤙🤙
Thanks so much Jared!! 🤙
My grandpa had an axe that had been around for like 150 years or something like that. Only had the axe head replaced 3 times and the handle replaced 5 times.
That's awesome!
SHIP OF THESEUS
Looks really pretty! Could use a spacer in the wedge after you got it right side up
Thanks Matyas!
Me never having been to a woodshop class: ah yes this will come in handy
😂 For what it's worth I've never been to a woodshop class! You can learn a lot on TH-cam 😉
Nicely done.👍
Thanks FHH!
Love this
Thanks nick!
Well done!
Thanks so much Josh!
@@dkbuilds No thank you man! I just assumed you were just going to grab an off the shelf handle, but no you literally made one! You the s***! LOL
hatchets scare me for this reason alone. nicked myself in the shin with a hatchet at work because the head was loose
Yikes! That's super scary, thanks for sharing your story!
You can also mark the wood with a pencil where the head needs to fit on. You’ll see exactly where to take of something. We do it in carpentry to make joints fit.
That’s a great tip thanks for sharing Jan!
That’s badass
Hell yeah thanks Beckham!
Man this is the shit to watch at 3:00am 😊
Hell yeah glad you like it Blind! You can watch my videos any time!
Badass! Can we see a 360° next time? Wanted to see all the layers
Sure! I have a longer build video on my channel which has 360 degree views at the end!
