I guess the crown is there for it being such a high quality axe it's used by the Swedish royalty, much like the reason the crown is on the highest quality British products and services (when it's awarded).
If he is truly going to be shooting long distance, 800 to 1000 yards, and be accurate 6.5mm bullets are the way to go. 30cal bulletts just don't have the ballistic coeficiant to hang with the 6-6.5mm bullets. Besides he would need a long barrel to keep 30.06 or .308 supersonic over 800 yards even with a hot load.
hi wranglerstar, i have been watching your videos for quite a few years now and you have taught me alot about life. i am only 15 years old and i absolutely love your videos. you have taught me about chainsaws, axes, winches, tractors, and most importantly how to be a strong God loving man. My father passed away when i was young and i havent had a role model. It is really inspiring to me to watch your videos because you are such a great role model. I live on a few hundred acres and i can relate so much do your videos. I would love to maybe talk sometime i would like to ask you somethings about life.
My sister had one of my dad's old hammers and needed the handle replaced. I put a handle on for her, but also carved the old handle into a small spoon. It lives on in her kitchen.
I'm 13 and you got me loving old logging hand tools and I want to make a Damascus axe and I will never made a handle so thank you man you helped me alot
My axe, same like yours, is also proudly build by AS :) AS - Anders Strömstedt DG - Daniel Gräntz KS - Kjell-Åke Sjölund LP - Lennart Pettersson MB - Mattias Blixt-Pettersson MM - Mattias Mattsson MS - Mikael Sundberg RA - Rune Andersson TT - Tobias Thelin UN - Ulrik Nilsson JB - Jonas Berglund JH - John Hårdsten EB - Erik Blixt PH - Patrik Hansson LH - Linus Heimer CS - Christian Sjölund MH - Marcus Hulin DF - David Faxby
not sure if you have watched him or not but Buckin Billy Ray makes axes out of old heads and is a hoot to watch. I think you would enjoy the channel and the care he puts into his axes and his viewers.
Can I say something from my heart and I’m weeping bitterly as I say these things. I didn’t get to experience life like you. I’m not trying to live vicariously through you but I need some tips and direction and support and motivation. I love you channel Brother/or Guy. I like your channel.
I love how you show respect for the "character marks" and memories that your old axe handle brings. I'm the same way but like you, sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.
I love the fact Gransfors Bruk have their forger initials on the head, my Small Forest Axe was made by Martin Forslund. Gives a real sense of personal connection when you know exactly who had a hand in making your favourite tool.
A gentleman’s tragedy: One crisp day, while splitting kindling, a slight overstrike spells doom for the handle of a young man’s favorite hatchet. After searching hither and yawn on the Internet for a suitable replacement, and after waiting neigh on a Fortnite for its arrival, the young man sets his hand to work. Tirelessly he removes the remnants of the fallen handle. Piece by piece he chips away the memory of his fallen comrade. Once the axe head is released of its shame, the new handle is painstakingly set in place and secured with the finest conical wedge China can produce. Proud of the restoration of his stalwart helpmate, the young man returns to the chopping stump. Suddenly, overstrike. And onward marches the cruel wheel of time.
Cody, thanks for sharing this. As all of your long time subscribers and audience know, this is your favorite axe. We know it just be the look of the handle. Heck, you inspired me to get my own, and I'm proud of it. When you shared this video and talkked about it, it felt like I was sitting in the workshop of an old friend, who was just talking about what he was doing with a tool we both knew well.
I agree with Joshua whole heartedly. Your videos are always educational, and very much needed. God bless you and your family.... The 17 HMR is incredible, and use a candle for sutting.
Very informative. Thank You. Glad I came back to this. I stopped viewing it the first time because of that annoying ad about "grand something or other..."
Just wanted to say thank you for pointing out the ordering of Israel's camp, I literally read that the other day and count glean anything from that passage. Thank you for sharing that. I really appreciate your hearts intent. God bless
Appreciate the regular style title Cody, and the content as always. I know what you mean about the handle. I had to cut the handle off my grandfathers axe who had very recently passed away. I wanted to restore it so I would have a reminder of him (one of many actually). It wasn't my memories, but the spotted gum handle was clearly very, very well used over the years. It was a super dark brown and the shape was incredible. I did not enjoy removing it at all, felt very wrong.
I'm a city guy that moved to the country. In a pretty rural area. I've been watching your videos for a little while but probably watched 2 hours of axe videos today
Hi Cody. Love your content! If you still have you handle to that small forest axe by GBA, you can always use reuse that wood. A good and quick wood working project would be to make a knife handle with that wood. I hate throwing away things with so much character, so I thought you might feel the same way. Keep up the great work! Hi, to the rest of the family.
I heard about Gransfors because of your channel! I got a Scandi forest axe and it has been amazing, so thank you for recommending amazing products that last a lifetime!
Even if I don't like plywood because I see the ply in the plywood sheet.. Your work to organised everything is awesome ! You made so many idea in one place. Great job.
First cut is the deepest. I know exactly how you feel. I disposed of nine box files with every piece of Education work from entry level to key skills to university work. I had tears... Well done
Met a fellow subscriber today. CrowdSurfingGeezer. We instantly felt like family. Had a wonderful conversation about all things life. Including a special find... My grandfathers 100 year old Stanley #3 Plane. Thank you for setting a Kingdom atmosphere and culture around your channel.
Congratulations! Yours is the first of many handle videos I have viewed that focused on proper grain orientation! Also, drilling out the old handle. And using a 4-in-hand rasp.
It's 2022, and at this point I have used this method to handle: my first axe (axe head was found in the woods while camping), two sledge hammers, multiple hammers, and soon a vintage roofing hatchet that I won at a camp atlatl competition.
So glad to return to your channel and watch this video! So glad to know what video I'm watching. So great to be able to refer people to "How to Handle an Axe" rather than "I DESTROYED MY FAVORITE AXE HANDLE! UNEXPECTED!" Great video Cody, I enjoy spending time in the shop with you.
Hey wranglerstar, I have been watching your vids for years! I really look up to you... I have to say, every time I watch one of your vids with the new shop.. I smile, It looks simply amazing! I will one day have myself a shop that is really nice and organized too, I really appreciate all the knowledge you share I have learned a lot from you. Thank you!
Thanks for showing in detail how to get the old axe handle out, including the metal wedge. That part had taken a lot of time and frustration for me and my dad. Wish we had found your video earlier. :-) Also appreciate your godly witness.
Sweet, I'm glad you found someone that can provide you that type of rifle. 6.5 is a good round and I don't seem to have a problem finding it. Good luck and God bless
Ty for making me feel good abt purchasing my first axe the forest axe.. I did put a leather collar on mine. Sanded my Handel lightly an applied linseed oil ! My grain was straight
It's hard,, but remember the tool is the ax head,, the handle allows you to use the tool head,, and the handle never lasts asking as the tool head,, I have several old took heads, ax's shovels picks what ever,, but a nice new handle gives new life to a good tool🤔👍
Hi Cody, another great video. I live in the UK and we are very close to the Thames & the route that those 3 men took in their boat. It is a beautiful river in our area. Get well soon, Nick aka Non Stick Nick
We Listen to "three man in a boat" every time we drive to the alpes for summer vacation even though it is the german version we always have a great time driving the 8 hrs on the Autobahn. It is almost a tradition.
Creedmore seems to be sweeping the long range world right now. It's a great choice. There are a number of reputable ammo companies offering various loads now so it's not like my 6.5-284 Norma. Personally I'd get the new action unless the family one isn't really of any use in its current condition. Either way I bet it will be a beauty.
I really want a nice ax someday. I keep rocking my Fiskars, but secretly long for a Swedish Forest Ax. Something with a more rounded and thinner bit for the dense wood up here. My flat, broad ax doesn't bite deep, but it does pop chips. Take care!
If you enjoy audio books, my Mum got some audio books by Gervase Phinn. He was a school inspector and writes about when he visited schools in the Yorkshire dales. We all listened to them as a family and throughly enjoyed them. The stories are all so relatable :)
If Cody would hang a hundred axes a month and make a video about it I'd still see every single one! He is so passionate and it shows, awesome! Thanks Cody.
My dad taught me to pound the head on the handle by tapping the handle vertically on the ground, head up, and letting the weight of the axehead carry itself down the handle. His dad, my grandfather, was a lumberjack in northern Michigan around 1905 and knew his stuff.
100 rounds through a 300 weatherby, good luck with that! I inherited one in a sako (Mauser pattern) action from my grandfather and do not have 100 rounds through it in the 15 years I've had it hunting California deer and Montana elk. Now that I am stationed in Virginia I can use the Winchester 94 in 30-30 (1929 manufacture) and savage 99 in 250-3000 (1926 manufacture) he passed along that were his father's rifles. I love the history in my hands. Enjoy your new rifle!
I am sorry that you are still sick Cody ;( I appreciate it th you uendure you endure being sick to bless others others,(including me ;)) God Bless you an;d your family
Wow I really like the new background! It's awesome to think about how far you have come from the wranglerbarn days! I can't wait to see where the next ten years will be if you are still making videos! Praying you all are well!
absolutely perfect timing! I recently bought a beautiful old Kelly Works axe, with a 26" handle and 3lb head. I was chopping firewood yesterday and split the handle. It looks to be the original handle, and I'm very sad to see it out of commission. hopefully ill be able to find a proper handle to re haft it. Thanks for the great content!
Cody thank you for getting me into axes and axemenship. I'm happy to tell you I recently purchased a Norlund Tomahawk style (2 1/2lbs) and I will be hanging the head soon!
...and as far as the macho thing goes with gun calibers - I agree. I own a Model 700 BDL 7 Mag with a left handed action that I traded a Model 700 ADL 30-06 (with a right handed action) for plus $75 bucks at a pawn shop when I was in high school. They got rid of a gun that would be hard to sell due to it being a left handed action for one that would be easy to sell. And I got a beautiful 1970's era Model 70O BDL with a gorgeous stock on it as far as the wood grain goes. They don't sell them like that now. I shoot left handed, so I'll never get rid of it. You are right on in saying that it's not fun to shoot, though. I don't enjoy having to sight it in. And once I have, I take great care not to knock it off. You don't feel the kick when you're shooting at a deer with it. But you definitely feel it when you're shooting a paper target.
Two things: First, I love your videos, they are pleasantly simple (I hope that made sense). Second, I had recommended the M24, but you won't go wrong with the Creedmore. Fine weapon system.
Cody, Glad to see you back in action! I like the fact that you went we a 700 series gun. Looking forward to the videos. Thanks for sharing as always, Brad
I bought my small forest axe on your recommendation. and my shop vise. and my 940 Osborne and my Mora chisel and my Obenoffs.and..Balistol .. and.......
You will find joy using the handle for another tool done the line ,, as you did with grandpa's handle on the tiny ax👍👍 it's ok brother man,, you didn't kill your friend,, your helping it out with some new wood🤔👍 giving it new life 🤘
That old handle is so cool I bet it’s smooth as glass after years of use my most used axe feels better and better each time I use it and as for those saws they are very expensive I don’t have them but Irwin makes one for about 20$ that I feel is of comparable quality
I am going to give that overdrive, an app I have been using for a while at bedtime is old time radio, listening to the old radio shows like gun smoke, have gun will travel and the six shooter with James Stuart is my favourite.
Love the videos!! Would you consider maybe adding "part 1, etc" to the titles when you see that they will be multi-part? I think this will serve 2 purposes. It will allow us to know right away whether it will be multi-part or not which would be appealing to some, and I think it would help with the cataloging of your videos and allow people to find videos that are multi-part together easier...Just a thought, keep up the awesome work!
My GB SFA is stamped TT for Tobias Thelin. He has been there awhile. On the subject of great camp axes, the Marbles 701SB that you could pick up for 19.98 is now 49.98.

I appreciate that you go to the effort to post a link to find the axe, but on other websites it is way cheaper.
I still say 30.06
Wranglerstar check out the recent video on click bait from Pure Living For Life.

That Japanese saw cut through that hickory handle like butter!!!!!!
Yes It Did lol
All my japanese steel hold an edge the longest.. great stuff!
Actually we do care. So don't be rude..

Thanks a lot! This comment is like the library of Alexandria.
What I love most about your channel is how you touch base on so many different topics.
I clicked on the video to learn how to handle an axe. Instead I learned how to handle an axe.
MrNicerDicer ha! Same....
Haha same
😂😂😂 same over here
😂🤣👍

Whenever I tinker around in the shop I always listen to this one dude named Wranglerstar. He's pretty good...
I love how you show respect for the "character marks" and memories that your old axe handle brings. I'm the same way but like you, sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.
I love that old axe handle, lookes awsome and there’s nothing better then a tool u can tell has had history
I love the fact Gransfors Bruk have their forger initials on the head, my Small Forest Axe was made by Martin Forslund.
Gives a real sense of personal connection when you know exactly who had a hand in making your favourite tool.
A gentleman’s tragedy:
One crisp day, while splitting kindling, a slight overstrike spells doom for the handle of a young man’s favorite hatchet. After searching hither and yawn on the Internet for a suitable replacement, and after waiting neigh on a Fortnite for its arrival, the young man sets his hand to work. Tirelessly he removes the remnants of the fallen handle. Piece by piece he chips away the memory of his fallen comrade. Once the axe head is released of its shame, the new handle is painstakingly set in place and secured with the finest conical wedge China can produce.
Proud of the restoration of his stalwart helpmate, the young man returns to the chopping stump. Suddenly, overstrike. And onward marches the cruel wheel of time.
Hmmm....how could that handle be repurposed? Door handle to the shop maybe?
that would be cool
Luke Knezevic
gear shifter for the truck
Use it to push wood on the table saw??
Put it in a sock and hit something...
Gransfors Bruk pushstick??? I like it!
Thank you for not using a clickbait title for this video & the previous one. It will make them much easier to find when I need the info in the future.
My first (and only) Gransfors Bruks was also make by MM Mattias Mattsson. A hell of a gift for quitting my old life and starting a homestead!
Cody, thanks for sharing this. As all of your long time subscribers and audience know, this is your favorite axe. We know it just be the look of the handle.

I miss this Wranglerstar.
Very informative. Thank You. Glad I came back to this. I stopped viewing it the first time because of that annoying ad about "grand something or other..."
Get another small hatchet head and mount it on the old handle.
How??? There's no shoulder left on the old haft.
That's what I'm about to do with the original 1930 handle on my Kelly axe. New hatchet handle, and it gets to stay my grandfather's.
Praise God Cody, hearing you talk about family devotions is such a breath of fresh air to a stale youtube community. Hallelujah!
Just wanted to say thank you for pointing out the ordering of Israel's camp, I literally read that the other day and count glean anything from that passage. Thank you for sharing that. I really appreciate your hearts intent. God bless
Appreciate the regular style title Cody, and the content as always. I know what you mean about the handle. I had to cut the handle off my grandfathers axe who had very recently passed away.

Hi Cody. Love your content! If you still have you handle to that small forest axe by GBA, you can always use reuse that wood.

Guy: ive got this sickness
Me: checks date of video while in a slight panic
I heard about Gransfors because of your channel! I got a Scandi forest axe and it has been amazing, so thank you for recommending amazing products that last a lifetime!
Even if I don't like plywood because I see the ply in the plywood sheet.. Your work to organised everything is awesome ! You made so many idea in one place. Great job.
These were the days, back when I loved watching his videos I actually needed this video to rehang my axe. All his new stuff is just superficial.
First cut is the deepest. I know exactly how you feel. I disposed of nine box files with every piece of Education work from entry level to key skills to university work. I had tears... Well done
i'm in love with your woodworking collection
Met a fellow subscriber today. CrowdSurfingGeezer.
We instantly felt like family. Had a wonderful conversation about all things life. Including a special find... My grandfathers 100 year old Stanley #3 Plane.
Thank you for setting a Kingdom atmosphere and culture around your channel.
So much history with that axe handle. Excellent axe.
Congratulations! Yours is the first of many handle videos I have viewed that focused on proper grain orientation! Also, drilling out the old handle. And using a 4-in-hand rasp.
These are the types of videos I miss.
It's 2022, and at this point I have used this method to handle: my first axe (axe head was found in the woods while camping), two sledge hammers, multiple hammers, and soon a vintage roofing hatchet that I won at a camp atlatl competition.

finally! not that your old handle didnt have character, but its nice to see it back to new looking!
Man even the sound the saw made sounded clean and efficient when you cut the handle..I have to try one of those saws.
Thanks for showing in detail how to get the old axe handle out, including the metal wedge. That part had taken a lot of time and frustration for me and my dad. Wish we had found your video earlier. :-) Also appreciate your godly witness.
As a person that prefers audiobooks I really appreciate the pointer about Overdrive. I'll be giving it a try
Cody, you and your family deserve all these cool opportunities that come your way.
"Cleanliness is next to godliness"
Sweet, I'm glad you found someone that can provide you that type of rifle. 6.5 is a good round and I don't seem to have a problem finding it. Good luck and God bless
I really enjoyed the drilling section, artful action of the tool, an interesting story, peaceful, satisfying, no rush, no drama.
I'm with you.👍
Awesome to hear you are going with the 6.5 creedmore! I have not shot one but from my reading of it, you will NOT be disappointed!!
Ty for making me feel good abt purchasing my first axe the forest axe.. I did put a leather collar on mine. Sanded my Handel lightly an applied linseed oil ! My grain was straight
It's hard,, but remember the tool is the ax head,, the handle allows you to use the tool head,, and the handle never lasts asking as the tool head,, I have several old took heads, ax's shovels picks what ever,, but a nice new handle gives new life to a good tool🤔👍
I love these long form videos that are half how to and half conversation
Hi Cody, another great video. I live in the UK and we are very close to the Thames & the route that those 3 men took in their boat. It is a beautiful river in our area. Get well soon, Nick aka Non Stick Nick
We Listen to "three man in a boat" every time we drive to the alpes for summer vacation even though it is the german version we always have a great time driving the 8 hrs on the Autobahn. It is almost a tradition.
It hurt my soul to witness the loss of nostalgic essence in the disembodiment of this axe.
Good video, I enjoy axes,saws,and canthooks. This is a year late,I respect anything with a mauser action
I just found some Made in USA Craftsman bits exactly like those at a thrift store for $25, very happy with the find.
Creedmore seems to be sweeping the long range world right now. It's a great choice. There are a number of reputable ammo companies offering various loads now so it's not like my 6.5-284 Norma.
Personally I'd get the new action unless the family one isn't really of any use in its current condition. Either way I bet it will be a beauty.
I just buy one Hultafors Qvarfot. Amazing axe for life. Thanks for video.
great call on the rifle. You just can't go wrong with a gun as proven as the 700. Have one myself, and I love it.
Absolutely loved the devotional tip. Thanks!
GB sells their replacement handles at pretty reasonable prices.
I've had mine for 5 years looking to get something a Little bigger for my canoe trips now love them axes
I took the old handle from my Collins and put it on a small plumb hatchet, it fit perfectly and was big enough to put a descent shoulder on
This is a wonderful video. Thank you for also mentioning the overdrive app.
I also use overdrive for audio books. I love listening to books while working it helps with my ability to focus on fine details.
As a photographer, I was geeking out a bit at some your shots in this. Really nice and sharp macro-like close ups.
Nice lighting too.
You are a really interesting guy. I really enjoy your videos, no matter how old or new they are. Thanks!
I finally Got my Gransfors Bruk small forest axe. I am so exciteded!!!!!
Great video. I didn't read all the comments, but the wedge is beech. very common in Europe.
I really want a nice ax someday. I keep rocking my Fiskars, but secretly long for a Swedish Forest Ax. Something with a more rounded and thinner bit for the dense wood up here. My flat, broad ax doesn't bite deep, but it does pop chips. Take care!
If you enjoy audio books, my Mum got some audio books by Gervase Phinn. He was a school inspector and writes about when he visited schools in the Yorkshire dales. We all listened to them as a family and throughly enjoyed them. The stories are all so relatable :)
If Cody would hang a hundred axes a month and make a video about it I'd still see every single one! He is so passionate and it shows, awesome! Thanks Cody.
WE are so happy for you that is a blessing for both you and the builder ..Roy Adair
This was a truly momentous occasion for those of us that have seen this axe in use over the years.
I learn something in every single one of your videos. Great video! Thanks.
Thank you Tony
My dad taught me to pound the head on the handle by tapping the handle vertically on the ground, head up, and letting the weight of the axehead carry itself down the handle. His dad, my grandfather, was a lumberjack in northern Michigan around 1905 and knew his stuff.
100 rounds through a 300 weatherby, good luck with that!

absolutely perfect timing! I recently bought a beautiful old Kelly Works axe, with a 26" handle and 3lb head. I was chopping firewood yesterday and split the handle. It looks to be the original handle, and I'm very sad to see it out of commission. hopefully ill be able to find a proper handle to re haft it. Thanks for the great content!
You can make one, it's not that hard
Cody thank you for getting me into axes and axemenship. I'm happy to tell you I recently purchased a Norlund Tomahawk style (2 1/2lbs) and I will be hanging the head soon!
...and as far as the macho thing goes with gun calibers - I agree. I own a Model 700 BDL 7 Mag with a left handed action that I traded a Model 700 ADL 30-06 (with a right handed action) for plus $75 bucks at a pawn shop when I was in high school.
They got rid of a gun that would be hard to sell due to it being a left handed action for one that would be easy to sell. And I got a beautiful 1970's era Model 70O BDL with a gorgeous stock on it as far as the wood grain goes. They don't sell them like that now. I shoot left handed, so I'll never get rid of it.
You are right on in saying that it's not fun to shoot, though. I don't enjoy having to sight it in. And once I have, I take great care not to knock it off. You don't feel the kick when you're shooting at a deer with it. But you definitely feel it when you're shooting a paper target.
Two things: First, I love your videos, they are pleasantly simple (I hope that made sense). Second, I had recommended the M24, but you won't go wrong with the Creedmore. Fine weapon system.
Cody,
Glad to see you back in action! I like the fact that you went we a 700 series gun. Looking forward to the videos. Thanks for sharing as always,
Brad
I bought my small forest axe on your recommendation. and my shop vise. and my 940 Osborne and my Mora chisel and my Obenoffs.and..Balistol .. and.......
Thank you for thinking of us when your not feeling 100%. Get well... God Bless...
Have a bless day I was looking to install a new handle on my axe 🪓 and got your video 😄
You will find joy using the handle for another tool done the line ,, as you did with grandpa's handle on the tiny ax👍👍 it's ok brother man,, you didn't kill your friend,, your helping it out with some new wood🤔👍 giving it new life 🤘
That old handle is so cool I bet it’s smooth as glass after years of use my most used axe feels better and better each time I use it and as for those saws they are very expensive I don’t have them but Irwin makes one for about 20$ that I feel is of comparable quality
Thanks for all the great video's and helping others to become a better men. Keep it up I've learned so much here
Your shop looks great, it is nice to be able to put your hands on a tool with looking for it.
Keep up the good work Wranglerstar.
I love my Gransfors bruk small forest axe, Its been the best axe ive owned hands down....
I am going to give that overdrive, an app I have been using for a while at bedtime is old time radio, listening to the old radio shows like gun smoke, have gun will travel and the six shooter with James Stuart is my favourite.
Love the videos!! Would you consider maybe adding "part 1, etc" to the titles when you see that they will be multi-part? I think this will serve 2 purposes. It will allow us to know right away whether it will be multi-part or not which would be appealing to some, and I think it would help with the cataloging of your videos and allow people to find videos that are multi-part together easier...Just a thought, keep up the awesome work!
WOW perfect timing with this video, I just split my GB wildlife hatchet handle yesterday!!!!!!!!
My GB SFA is stamped TT for Tobias Thelin. He has been there awhile. On the subject of great camp axes, the Marbles 701SB that you could pick up for 19.98 is now 49.98.
