Good to get that clarified. If you get a chance might be of interest to people to see one of the hardware store versions so people can make their own minds up if they are tempted to go that way? My take, if lamina had stock I'd go that way, they are not sufficiently cheaper to justify drop in quality. Last time I looked at Lamina site they said not shipping to your country 👎 Really beautiful video
@@rogerharvey9863 me too. I had a clone saw kit delivered from China which hasn't had import added. Declared value was a little inaccurate though. If/when it arrives I might do a vid to show how it looks and perhaps a before/after giving it a fettle. Don't expect Owens production values though lol this vid I thought looked incredible. He's got an eye for this stuff. I ordered on the 17th and it's still showing 'being prepared' so I'm not confident a hardware store is going to go through the hassle of collecting UK vat etc. Too much hassle for a 45e axe. And if lamina feel the same it may be time to tap up our Spanish friends...
You can order directly, by mail, at Jauregi. I received, two weeks ago, a 1.5kg curved bite, and a 2.5kg curved bite, and three handles, for 100 euros less than if I had ordered from Lamnia
Hi Owen, thanks for the video. What coppice cycle are you aiming for with this area? Are you going to get coppice under standards going, or is this 100% cleared? I have overgrown hornbeam and hazel coppice under oak standards and I'm trying to make a plan to bring it under some semblance of control.
Hi! So in this particular area of the wood there is tons of birch, we are leaving any nice hornbeam, oak, chest and ash standards (very few of them to choose from) we are also leaving a few small hazel stools and hawthorn for the birds. Some of the areas we have done in previous years are looking great already. Usually find in the first year or two the bramble takes over but as the trees grow the bramble dies off. Makes for a good variety of habitat. Were getting lots of woodcock come into the coppice areas to nest.
@@elemental4rce Thanks mate, super interesting. I spent the winter layering some enormous overgrown hazel coppice (40 years plus) to expand the plantation. I need to drop about 30% of the standards so that I stand a chance of getting the lower story going again. Like you, I have Ash, Oak and hornbeam, albeit well established. Good luck with the project - subscribed!
Hey Owen just purchased one last night on Lamnia...have you any idea what the quality are like these days. On a different note are you planning on making more videos, enjoyed your stuff.
It's all in the title and the description on top. 1.75 kg felling axe. in pounds it's precisely 3.87 lbs. (multiplying kgs by 2.21, you can round it to 3.85 lbs)
Picking a basque axe is being spoiled for choice, you aren't going to go wrong. However, if you want to nitpick I prefer the 1.5kg over the 1.75kg. They both have the exact same head size and edge length. The extra 9 oz of the 1.75 comes from the maker leaving more metal around the walls of the eye and in the cheeks. It makes the 1.75 feel sluggish/awkward compared to the 1.5 and you have no advantage in edge length.
interesting, I guess you know that for a fact. I can't decide between the 1.5 and 1.75 to me it would be an axe to work a lot with, not a one-off camping tool I was leaning more towards the 1.75 but i might have to reconsider then
Bushcraft spain buys the hardware store line from another company (not directly from hachas jauregi) and then they grind and finish them for resale at a premium price. Personally would advise you buying from a company that sells the hardware line and then grind it yourself or wait until lamnia has them back in stock for the full experience.
@@elemental4rce Thanks. Thats most probably why Buschcraftspain is the only one that have stock. I will show them on axejunkies when they arrive and then everybody can see what they will get from Buschcraftspain.
The one in the video is from Lamnia. I've had it for a year or two now. Some spanish hardware stores sell them too but it's hard to find ones that will post internationally
@@elemental4rce I ordered directly from maker in Urnieta, Spain (Basque country) - Hacha Jauregui. Google lists it as Place of Worship - Which for some is appropriate :-)
@@greenfaring2501 I'm from the US. What was your process of ordering it directly. I went to the website and it did not appear to offer online ordering. Unfortunately my Spanish is very poor.
@@fastenit27 hey, I emailed info-at-hachasartesanas.com (replace the -at-) and since I only speak English and Icelandic, I used google to translate into Spanish and basque :-) Workrd well. Now, this was a couple of years back and I hope it still works. I plan to order a 1.5kg axe later this year. By the way, I paid with PayPal.
@Drwal Pingwin if you live in Europe, I suggest you can get in touch with Jose Ramon Jauregi personally. Jose Ramon Jauregi is [what I consider] a genuine personality.
Thanks Daniel, I wasnt sure either! I think I also need to invest in a microphone for any voiceover sections I do in future videos. Thanks for watching!
What axe(s) would you like to see me use on my next coppicing trip?
Something no one would expect.
More on your English pattern council mod! Or bring your Montreal! Lol i just got one
@@cosmicbilly they're both my favourite axes for coppicing!
An old english pattern!
@@jasperruss7569 a wise choice
Best vid yet, like a piece of art. And glad to hear the Basques aren’t knockoffs.
So cool watching you handling this beautiful tool!
Excellent axe. I mostly use this axe for pruning like you do as well since I rarely fell a tree by axe unless it’s just brush. Nice quality video!
This and Muller Biber Canada, cut really deep!!! Probably the best chopping axes you can get.
Thanks for helping clear that up...and I personally think the Council Tool Jersey mod doesn’t get enough love
That's interesting: an alternative Basque axe. Thanks for clearing that up.
Really good video. Just hit the right pace and visuals. Love the axe.
Hytest! Be interesting to hear perspective on using a heavier axe for this lighter work.Good to hear about the Basques, wanted a 2kg for a while now.
In the process of rehanging the hytest, I might use it for a splitting video soon!
@@elemental4rce awesome
Seems pretty sharp!
Thank you.
And thank Jon. Hero!

Jk mate I'd appreciate a video on it however it looks
@@rogerharvey9863 can't be worse than my first video, ended up upside down lol
@@enzowilson345 I checked, can confirm its upside down 😄
My first video was pretty shameful and they're not much better now
That axe cuts well
Esto es maejar un hacha. Lo demás tonterías. Enhorabuena por el video.

How do you do that? Is there a web page?
In spanish only, or basque :)
Hey bro would you be able to link the website where you ordered yours?? Thanks for the good content bro.
I missed Dylan, Ochsenkopf double bit if you have one or a fire axe maybe something unexpected, that axe looked pretty handy
Good job
Where can a basque ax be purchased at , the 1 place that I could find them are out of stock .
best basque axe :)
Is the basque race axe from Buschcraft also in the hardware line?
Hi, how do you know if your buying the hardware store basque or the good basque?
Good question?

Amazing axe, what is the weight on that axe and how long is the handle?

That looks a really nice, smaller axe. How do you rate it?

Hi , what the weight of the head ?
So how are you going to know the difference between the different lines? I ordered three from Buschcraftspain. Do I now get the hardware store line?
Bushcraft spain buys the hardware store line from another company (not directly from hachas jauregi) and then they grind and finish them for resale at a premium price.
Personally would advise you buying from a company that sells the hardware line and then grind it yourself or wait until lamnia has them back in stock for the full experience.
