Awesome job Scout leaders are the best sort of people, they teach free of charge and prepare folks for adulthood. I was a Scout, and was taught how to look after myself, cook wash, general bush craft. Took a lot of stick from my piers, but my reply was always. "I never saw John Wayne take his washing home to his mom, or have a packed lunch prepared by his parents; a real man can look after himself." We need more people like you and Scoutcrafter in this world and less who can't live without a cell phone. Too many parents these days are more interested in their designer clothes or what's happening on face book than looking after and teaching the I kids.
I learned so many good traits in the scouts! Sounds like you did too! Learning skills and having fun doing it. What a great combo. It’s great to hear about your experience in the scouts. Thanks for your comment and your feedback! 💥🪓😃🛶🌳🌿
My Dear Ol' Dad gave me that same hatchet many years ago in an assorted box of tools for a young man. Now 40 years later, you and Wranglerstar have inspired me to make a handle from scratch. Thank you. Great job on your hatchet.
Right On! Thanks! That’s so cool that you have the same one! What a great gift from your dad. You are going to love it when you get that handle on it. I know I sure do! 💥🪓⚡️
You are so right about how special a tool becomes when you replace something like a handle that you make yourself. I can’t believe you mentioned Mt. Allamuchy. I pass it very frequently, it is still there! Thanks for the video, axe looks great.
Right On Tony! Really! You pass it often. That’s great. I had so many good times there! Klondike derby in the winter, great summer camp outs, fishing for pike in the lake. So cool! 😃💥🪓⚡️
I made a canoe paddle a few weeks ago from wood I got from my old neighbor, it was from a maple tree that hung over our barn. When I was a kid I would grab the hanging branches and swing from our barn over the fence onto their shed......Needless to say because of the history and the fact I formed it with my hands, that it's something I'll really cherish for the rest of my life.
Greetings from Western Maine. Just found your channel and I'm glad I did. Great job on the axe restoration. I do a lot of relic hunting and have found and repurposed several great old axe heads. Thanks for the inspiration and education.
Right On Scott! Thanks for coming aboard! Maine is a great spot for relic hunting! I have some family there in Rangeley Lakes and on Penobscot Bay! I’m sure you find some great stuff!!
Glad to have found your channel, you do a great job of presenting, very relaxing and informative style. I just purchased an old Norlund axe head on eBay today and was searching for a nice hickory handle for it online when your video popped up. You've inspired me to make a handle of my own. Thanks for the lesson.
Excellent video Jon-san! I love this topic (as you know). It was such an important topic and category of knowledge to have 100 years ago and before (I think it is actually in our DNA:). Having a well made, and maintained axe and knife have been critical in survival for thousands of years and more recently (250 to 100 years) a dependable firearm which most people knew how to clean and maintain until this last century. Of course now people just get their knives and axes from Amazon and Target and have no idea what the actual art form is like. So I really respect you keeping this core art form alive and available to us. Right On Jon-San!
Right On Ty! Thanks for your feedback! I feel it is such an important thing to have that relationship with nature and getting in there with these raw crafts really brings one close to it. I like making an axe like this and also using it. I also like the aspect of people watching the making of this axe and it bringing them closer to nature and a sense of creativity within themselves. 😃💥🪓
Hi Jon! What a outstanding presentation! Start to finish just packed with great info... Looking at your shop organization (9:30) I am motivated to follow your system in my new shop. Thanks for sharing! I still have my Summer camp scout mugs too!
Brother you got some sweet Tools & Shop👍. Nice work. Those old Nordlund voyager hatchets came with 12” handles -But are ideal -much more suited for 14”-15” handles-even a 16”-18” Handle would likely be good choice
Thanks for the video and well done! I recently acquired an old Norlund just like that one. I look forward to fixing it up now. Thanks again. Liked and subscribed.
Hi Jon, neat little hatchet you put together in this video, just the right on the size Horace Kephart talked about in his book, he called it a pocket axe , he said ,travel light, travel far, good advise even today. Hope your all keeping well out there, at 70yrs were keeping our heads down here, we haven't been anywhere since March, it's sure getting boring lol, stay safe, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart.uk.
@@RightOnJonCrane Hi Jon, thanks for the reply,,The book by Horace Kephart is titled, Camping and Woodcraft, ISBN 0-87049-551-8 , The university of Tennessee Press, if it's still in print. If your interested in this sort of thing ,It's a great read, keep right on Jon, kind regards, Stuart.uk.
came over here on scoutcrafters recommendation , glad i did have a similar axe myself coming up shortly ! great job and love that you havent shone it everywhere
40+ years ago I purchased a Norlund Hudson Bay Hatchet during the years I was a scoutmaster in the mountains of SE Kentucky. Through many family moves since then, that little hatchet has intermittently appeared & disappeared. I am in the process of refurbishing it, so your excellent presentation was very helpful. The hickory handle which you made is incredibly nice! I am very impressed with your skills & knowledge; so I have a question for you: I have some aged Osage left over from bow making. Do you have any thougfhts about using Osage for an axe or hatcher handle? Thank you, & many God bless you!

Really nice job Jon. Great mixture with the Pine tar. Pine tar has so many great uses. Thanks.
Right On Randy! 💥🪓 I love using the pine tar. It really is great. Nice surface to grip to. Not too sticky or too slick.
Awesome job

I enjoyed your restoration of this axe. Lots of great tips. I will definitely use a piece of leather on the file when sharpening. Looks great!
Right On Larry! I got that tip long ago from a book I have called An Axe To Grind. ⭐️ Thanks for watching. 😃
