I really liked the shape of that axe, and it came out nice. A bit to shiny for my taste, i would have stopped after the wirebrush. But nice handle and the end result is something to be proud of!
Thank you very much! Yes, this was my first project like this and my goal was to make it shiny as possible. In future projects I will try something different, for example, like you said, stop after the wirebrush.
Good job. A bit to shiny for my taste. I preferred the look after the wire brushing but, it’s not my ax..... it yours and you did it the way you wanted it done.. Again, Good Job
Around the late 1970s Billnäs switched from using just wedges to using epoxy too, this axe is from right around that time, so I assume he wanted to keep it close to how it originally was.
It was once said that if you took a Russian peasant of old Muscovy and dropped him off in the northern forest with just his axe, he would build everything else he needed, using that axe. An exaggeration? Perhaps- but it speaks to the importance of the axe to the building of Russia.
You should develop your skills with axe and knife, perhaps spoke shave and a rasp. Angle grinder and sanding paper are not tools for making axe handle. Grain should follow the shapes of the handle, cross grain is weak. Always choose right wood for the purpose. Don't cut the wood above the axe head but leave there about half an inch of it. For precise feel you should regrind (don't use angle grinder!) blade to some correct angle, it shouldn't be convex like that. Axe don't have to be razor sharp, especially for soft wood and even less for splitting. You have some eye for shapes. Now you need practice. Develop your skills how to carve wood, not sand it. Power tools are bad if you want to develop your sense of shapes. You should work hands on, slowly and constantly observing what you are doing. Drawings and pencil lines are also unnecessary, let the wood and your eye guide you.
My biggest problem was that I really don't own any proper tools for cutting wood. That's why I used andgle grinder for the handle tool. I don't also have any other tool to work with metal either, only that same angle grinder. Wood what I used for the handle is birch, that is hard wood and commonly used for tool handles in Finland. I had surprisingly big troubles even find dry birch from anywhere, I finally found one wood store where I could buy piece of dry birch. So I didn't have that much opportunities to choose more proper wood for this axe. Thank you very much for your comment and tips, I will keep them in my mind when I start working with my next project! 😊👍🏼
@@Ramsundi Ok. Now you have an axe and it is apparently of good quality. My father was a skilled carpenter, he used to use axe as much as possible when free shaping the wood. It is a fast tool and surprisingly precise when used with skill. For instance axe handle basic shaping could be very well done with an axe, then finishing it with a knife or spokeshave and perhaps finally with a rasp. I wish you best success in your next projects 👍🏼
On hieno kirves... 👍👍👍😎
Excellent ! Especially without billions of dollars of tools !
Thank you for your feedback! 😊
Great job. Proof you don't need fancy tools just some initiative and an idea.
Wonderful axe. This is а good old fiskars.

Kun patinan olisit jättänyt kirveen terää niin loistava. Eli ei kiiltäväksi asti hiomista. Mutta kahva on hiano👍
Тески на пне ,очень круто ,надо себе такие сделать.

Thank you for these really nice words! 😊

bilnääsin kirveet ja pispalan pillut maaliman parhaita...
Niin ne väittää
Man, you fucked it all up...
What's with the epoxy?

Hyvä kirves, etenkin varsi on tosi hieno! Mitä puuta käytit kiilana ja millä käsittelit varren lopuksi?
Kiila on tammea ja parafiiniöljyä laitoin pintaan 👍🏼

Jos koristeeksi...tuo puun syy rakenne ei kestä käyttöä....syyt leikkaa poikki varren kaarevuuden takia
Now that's an axe. What time did you finish?
It took maybe 7-8h total
Топор супер у меня Billnas 1133 привет из России 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺👍👍👍👍👍💪💪💪💪💪

millä teit ton viimmesen kiillotuksen terälle
Hupalaikalla ja kiillotusvahalla
Ok. Kiitos. Mul tos muutama bilnäsin aihio👍
Tuo ei ole entisöinti, vaan tuunaus. Tuo malli on alunperin maalattu punaiseksi.
положи его в сервант и любуйся
Noin hienoja kirveitä ei kaupasta saa enään
Itsekkin tykkään kunnostella vanhoja kirveitä
😁
Metallimies ja homma hanskassa
Hieno
Tuli niin komia että malttaako käyttää enää 👌
Koriste siitä taisi tullakin 😅
Vau mitä käsityötä
