I'm 62 and have a medical condition that gets worse with time. Being an avid DIY'er for 40+ years and a qualified Mechanical Engineer I have lots of tools ( my wife swears I have every tool known to man, I say "Not Quite". Having several axes and heads, sledge and club hammers as well as a plethora of saws, mallets, et al. I am so pleased my 18 year old son has begun to re-handle and care for some of my tools. We are moving to Wales soon and will have a forge and work shop outside so my tools can be hung and cared for. Thanks to you and other on-line professional craftsmen and myself he has learnt how to care for tools in the proper manner, thank you for sharing your techniques and skill.
Your parenthesis never ended! I've been in a constant state of unease for 4 months.
wow, how long did it take to fabricate that story in your head get a life kid and perhaps pay attention in your English class your grammar is worse than my sister that hasn't even been conceived yet.
@Alejandro Duran, Lul, nice run on sentence, lack of punctuation, and lack of proper capitalization kid.
keefy What amazes me is that your 62 and know how to use youtube
Cool for u, hope a Car gets you out of your Misery so u never have to share it with anyone anymore.
I love that you're not in a rush to get the handle installed. Some things just aren't microwaveable products.
are u on periscope ?
What?
@@strengthisabsolutestrength8215 A microwave meal is cheap, quick and easy. This is a craft product. Take your time.
That's the meaning
I love that you included Jack In this build using your grandads tools. Fantastic!
i dont
@KirbysMentalProblems I think he is saying he doesn't use his grandad tools
I just took off an old head from a very old Kelly today. it's a double blade axe. I've been watching your vids to learn to restore it. 30 minutes away from me there is a family owned hickory handle company that's been in business since the early 1800s. The owner has told me they will provide the handle. I plan on getting it all on video. Thanks for the inspiration, Cody.
Hey. it's been four years, did you make the axe?
@@A_Shadow87 we need to know
Wtf bro did you do it or not
Y'all ought to literally search "an American homestead axe." Come right up.
Cody: "That's a beautiful axe. What do you think, Jack?"
Jack: "I have to say, it doesn't look much like a plum.."
“It doesn’t look like a plum” I see what you did there.
He's gotten in on the dad joke scene early.
Lmao

Wranglerstar hey
Wranglerstar the chain that carries that brand that your thinking of may be a store that carries seconds of that brand you know parts with flaws
Wranglerstar is to world wide
Wranglerstar is it world wide
Wranglerstar I know this is a little off topic but you being a woodsman and into wood working and homesteading thought you might find it interesting that my great great great grandfather is Joseph peavey. I will just leave it with his name and see if you know what he has done in the of lumber jacking.
So glad you did another ax video. I've been following you for a while, and when I get the chance I head out to flea markets and yard sales looking for old ax heads to restore. So far, I have only done one. And that one came from my father-in-law that recently passed away. I was helping him split some firewood when the ax handle broke. I searched the local big box stores for a handle that would measure up to your standards. I eventually found one at a mom and pop hardware store that was a beautiful white color and the grain was almost perfect. I took it home and started scrapping the lacquer off, hand sanding and coated with linseed oil. You are so right that doing that gives it the best feel. Two days after I finished the ax, my father in law passed, so I engraved his name into the head and it now hangs over the door of my garage. This project kept me calm during a hard time. I am now hooked on restoring old quality tools. I just wanted to share how much I enjoy your videos, and how your love of the homestead life has infected me. And I have been searching your videos for a few days trying to find one of the endings that end on Mt. Fuji yo share with my friends. Thanks for finishing this video with the gorgeous shot of the mountain.
lol, Jack's accent was spot on. My wife and I played it like 5 times and are still laughing.
Hats off to Justin, that is incredibly beautiful. With your hanging skills this will be a grail axe. Good to see father and son working together and the exchange of wisdom down the generations. Great spirit in this vid as always. Informative to boot. Thanks for sharing.

Well it was focused on the desk :)
Your son is a lucky boy. I wish my dad took the time to teach me some crafts and skills like this. Now I have to learn on my own so I can teach my own son. Videos like these help a lot.
To all you dads out there. Please spend time with your kids, pass on knowledge and wisdom. You may have no idea how much of an impact it makes in their lives but it definitely will. There's a generation of young people out there that haven't had a strong father figure in their life and they're looking for it in the wrong places. If you don't teach them, someone else will. That is all.
"That's a good staple" Dude, you're impressed with everything on that handle!
Thats what i call placebo effect!
been sick again from transplant med so i was in lay on my bed and decided to watch your video. once again you have lifted my spirits and a bit better thank you Cody and thank your family. I grew up with out a father , guess I became hardened to the idea that kids need a father. yet seeing how good you are with your boy does me good. ps beautiful ax head.
The reason they lacquer a handle is to be able to import into the USA the wood has to be sealed in some way.
That rule is well known in the guitar making industry.
Not too many people know rules and regulations of import materials.kudos and a snap to you my man. El Tejano
It's bad that I'm a guitarist, and luthier. But I didn't even know that
I’m not sure what this applies to. I’ve bought imported things before that Weren’t sealed. Though they were small things:
I just bought a Husqvarna axe (from Sweden obviously) and the handle is not sealed or laquered. Im not sure what you say is true.
Adam in machine packing there is a rule to sertificate a Wood bring used.. its call fumigation..
What did we learn today kids? Always go for the thicc things in life...
"I have to say, it doesn't look like a plum" STOP THAT, YOU'RE TOO YOUNG FOR DAD JOKES
Incredibly beautiful to see a father and son spending not only quality time together, but important time. It’s been long forgotten in society the values and customs of traditional society and how people should really live. I’m 19 and I’ve nearly finished my carpentry Apprenticeship in The Uk. Essentially meaning I’m almost a qualified carpenter. I hope I can one day teach my son if I have one one day the skills and assets you are showing yours.
why do you beat on it like that instead of using a rubber mallet on the head?
A rubber mallet absorbs to much energy,
In the video it looks like you are holding the whole thing in the air when you hit it. Is that true or is the head of the axe on the ground?
Ben Poliquin that is true
He explained what he is doing and why in the video. Maybe a re-watch is in order. Short answer is he is holding it up. Learned how to do it as a kid from watching my dad. It is actually a good demonstration of for ever action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Today's physics lesson..
Thank you, Sir Issac Newton.
*Me who's never swung an ax in my life* - "Hmm... this is interesting..."
This is my first winter splitting wood, so thank you for the information regarding changing handles on an axe.
I can’t believe I just spent 22 minutes watching someone wedge an axe handle into an axe. I don’t even own an axe lol
Cody, I'm sure someone has already commented on this, but you should never use a blacksmith hammer to strike other tools. They should only be used to strike hot metal. Otherwise, you will mar the hammer face and transfer that mark to your hot work finish.
Last Sunday it was raining really hard so it was a day in the work shop for me to restore some long overdue worthy projects. First was to restore a Fireman's rescue axe by PLUMB, then a US forest service single bit axle and lastly on old standby Polaski Fire line axe. Really enjoyed the day on the bench grinder and wire wheel work all done up. Fitting the new handles and placed the proper step wedge to lock it all in.. I wanted to paint the heads of the fire rescue tools but I was all out of red paint.
Love me a genuine Wranglerstar axe video! I noticed that you were both in your coats out in your little shop there. My son just bought me a 23,000 BTU Dyna-Glo kerosene convection heater for my garage. Works marvelously and it's a great emergency standby in a grid-down situation.
He just loaned The Real Life Martian a 150,000 BTU heater like that.
He has a pretty nice heater, but the neighbor is borrowing it. :-P
Must have missed a few Wranglerstar videos!? Thanks I'll have to go check it out! 😉😆
Griffin this is the video they are referring to watch?v=gUOX3-9m4ZQ
It's on the TheRealMartian channel.
Aaron S Thanks very much for that! I'll check it out.
So I saw this video as my first video a long time ago, and it made me subscribe. About 6 months ago I found a "true temper flint endge jelly work" axe head that was rusted beyond belief with no handle. I finally hung it and got it to a state where it is functional. And it was awesome to get that project idea I'd love to share the photo progress but thank you for giving me information on what I needed to restore it! So thank you for helping me find a new hobby or restoring a lot of my late grandfathers old tools my father is in possession of!
Hi Wranglerstar, I've found that an even better way to remove varnish from tool handles is a concave scraper. You won't get the flats to sand out that you get with the spokeshave and you don't have to worry about grain direction.
Thelbert Sexton Agreed. The card scraper is exactly what I use to simply remove the varnish on my handles without altering the shape. Sure, if you want to alter the shape, spoke shave is the way to go.
Great job on the video Cody! To those complaining about not explaining every reason and detail, remember he has only so much time and has to walk a tightrope between giving too much explanation and loosing the interest of the more experienced, and too little info and loosing the novices. It has got to be impossible to make a video that meets all experience levels.
Very very informative & detailed.....thank you!
It's so awesome that you get your son involved in working with you. One day he will grow up to be a master craftsman and will always appreciate what you're doing.
I am very grateful that my father got me using tools from a young age. I'm still pretty young, but working with my hands has brought be a lot of joy and it's actually become extremely lucrative. I'm set for life and will be retiring early because of the interest my dad instilled in me when I was a kid.
I got bamboozled by that kid in the intro.
Hopefully you see this, I am blown away by all of your videos! As a young guy in the Air Force I am never really settled down but I hope to start blacksmithing and wood working ASAP but that won't be for about a year. What I really want to know is how your friend created the breath taking dimples on that axe, or if possible make a video on how he did it. Thanks for creating amazing videos and stay safe!!!
I'd really love some more woodworking videos!
i bet u would
i bet u wood
WHAT HAVE WE COME TO AS 20 YEAR OLDS!!? He said step wedge and I thought about that little piece of metal getting stuck in the washing machine👀
Found a Plumb like that at Goodwill for $1. Sold it on eBay for a couple hundred.
thejasonbischoff Nice 👌
How American of you
Not saying it’s a bad thing
thejasonbischoff I love those kinds of finds
This Sir is my first time watching any of your videos and finding your channel. May I say that just for this one video, I am hooked! And I might even rate your channel as my favourite, maybe not of all time yet! But certainly my favourite of the month and a brilliant start to my year using TH-cam!! See Sir I live in England, so what sold me 100% and lead me to type out and declare my favouritism for your channel is the view of the pink sunset over that gorgeous snow covered landscape! But I was so glad to see, and perhaps even envious of the fact you are sharing and handing down your skills, knowlede and tools to your son. Which has also made me warm hearted that he is eager and receptive to learning the skills, but also he has the desire to learn about the history of the tools and their journey through your family. Where as unlike most modern day kids who even if they want to learn (Which I am sure you'll agree is a rare in itself!), they would want to use power tools to make it easier, faster and less physical work!!! So seeing your son so keen is extremely refreshing and is a credit too you as a father!
I am so happy to have found your channel because of its content, its a pleasure to watch and will make a huge difference to my daily life, which sounds like a very pathetic thing to say. But I say it because I am disabled by a nerve disease which means for no actually reason my nerves send signals to my brain saying I am in the worse pain imaginable. So as you can imagine it affects my mobility and my ability to work and even socialise! So during most days and plenty nights I am stuck bored and alone for long periods, so in a way to combat my boredom I try find videos or channels that will help me pass the time! So thank you for giving me a whole new avenue in which to learn and enjoy! Never underestimate your contribution to making others lives better and worth keeping on going, giving others a reason to live. I wont be the only one you're helping.
Thank you
Marc Thomas
Back when I was 10-Years-Old, I would have traded all of my legos for this supremely dangerous weapon.
I had the axe before I had Lincoln logs. I made my own toys
It's good to see little Jack growing up and helping on these projects!
I used to work with my dad like this when I was a kid but he would yell and scream at me (and became violent a couple times) when I did something wrong so that I would always try to avoid helping him build things or make repairs. Nice to see a dad and son having a peaceful constructive learning experience doing a man's work with his hands
thebullybuffalo that happened to me to
same..
Wow hey anyone else want to say something sad. Jeeeze. Mine let us with with him and never got mad. Each of us joined the army and are well functioning adults.
He treated you like a man :)
Me too
Oh, Mr Wranglerstar! You can't be a true homesteader if at least one person in the household doesn't know how to cut hair. I'd like to see a video of you receiving a family made haircut. It saves a lot of money too!
so do I understand this right, Cody likes his blonde?
Nice to see a kid get taught and getting involved in learning useful skills
Didn't know you had the Lonely Mountain in your backyard.
A beautiful thing giving your son perspective by letting him work with tools his grandfather used. He will carry these lessons his whole life.
"Whoever made that..." You mean "Whatever made that." It's all machine turned.
A Bench-Top Oscillating Spindle Sander with the largest drum sleeve also works great. As Cody has said, take it slow. Sand a little; try it again. Make pencil marks on the high spots; try it again. Repeat until close to the shoulder; repeat lightly at the shoulder start. Also, shave a slight taper on the wood wedge edges so that it compresses slightly there. Thanks Cody!
Such a pretty axe needs just as good as a handle
It's super nice how you're including your son. Father son bonding at its finest
awesome looking axe. being a woman..I like pretty and functional.
"Form follows function" is an engineering edict I admire. If something looks the part it's supposed to do, it's probably well designed & constructed.
i say personally id rather have something that works rather than be pretty in the words of reallybigmonkey1 it aint got to win a beauty pagent
Samuel Luria i know im just saying that if i had to chose between the 2 id take funtion although it is a beautiful axe and id like one for myself
Samuel Luria ? im sorry i dont speak emoji
Samuel Luria ok do you happen to know if you can still win one of these by chance
I always used the whole axe and pounded the end of the handle on to a piece of wood set on the floor. It drives the head down more evenly. I also like to put a little tung or linseed oil on the part of the handle that goes into the head after fitting and after trimming it, before driving the wedges in. Not only does it lubricate but it penetrates the wood over time and reduces shrinkage in dry climates.
Thanks. The best way to spend 22 minutes and 55 seconds. Who needs network or cable tv.
An old gunsmith taught me to use inletting black to highlight the high vs. low spots then remove the excess using a broken Coke bottle as a scraper. Old timers used lamp black. Tightest haft I ever made. Always enjoy your vids.
Hey that looks like Mt Rainier!
That hole in the top of the handle is from being chucked in a lathe for the initial turning of the handle from square stock. There should be one on the other end as well. I found this same "Plumb" axe with a loose head at an estate sale last year and restored it. Nice job!
Wanted to say : "Focus you fu.. !!"
👍👍apparently no one else got that!😂😂
I like that, teaching your kid patience by using old-fashioned tools. Most kids now are used to doing things instantly with all the technology they have available to them and they aren't able to wait 10 seconds to do something.
"I use my head"
Best quality time ever, woodworking with dad using grandpa's old tools!!! Awesome video Cody!
have got to appreciate the Father and Son relationship.
I've watched several of your videos; I should probably post on a newer one, but I just wanted to say this now.
You're incredibly proficient with the tools and quite entertaining to watch. Every video I've seen exudes passion over the topics given, and there's just something about watching someone do what they love that makes me enjoy the series.
Your son's lucky to be coming from such a good home. I hope you keep this series up with as much enthusiasm as I've seen. Good luck with your endeavors.
Thank you Justin
What mountain was that at the end of the video?
I think it is mount everest
I'm just gonna leave this comment here so I can be notified when someone decides to be less mean and answer the question
I firmly believe that's Mount Everest
Mt Rainier?
It's Fuji guys.
My dad just gifted his little red vise to my hubby for his B-day. Great gift! I'm glad to have him pass it along to my husband.
Wanna hear a short childhood story? Apparently, when my sister & I were kids & the family moved, the description on the moving box was "that little red metal thing on the corner of Dad's workbench that spins around tighter & tighter. Aka "a Vise"
(I'll add to this for perspective) Dad warned us not to play around with "that thing" cause we might get our fingers pinched in it "Don't Play With That!!
Anyhow, i'm glad... to hear all of it :-)
when i win, did you send it to Europe?
Deutsch ?
das war so klar! :D
Cody & Jack thanks for sharing the project, and the view at the end. Gods blessing in your lives are so apparent. Please continue to share which gives strength to your testimonies!
wow let me save you 20 minutes...they bought and installed a new handle. that's it
so why do you watch his content?
And bitched a lot a bout varnish, which actually serves an important purpose in a lot of cases.
For a person who has never fit a handle onto an axe-head it's pretty darn interesting.
It's not the destination, but the journey that is interesting.
You're missing the point. This isn't some lame buzzfeed lifehack video showing how to get things done faster and in a more lazy fashion. It's for people who like to work with their hands and reap a sense of satisfaction from doing something them self
Wow absolutely beautiful. Broke my axe months ago never had a chance to replace it. When you don't have one you realize how important they really are. Good luck to all. Wrangler star thanks for all the effort you put into your video. You do amazing work. ATB to you and the family. Joe . 👍👏🏻
That axe is sexy!
My grandpa and I were cutting wood when his 1952 axe head broke, so I would love this axe.
Do your glasses serve a purpose?
yes - to see
i was not expecting a reply :O er well i subbed if thats any help
What I like about this channel is they use these old vintage tools unlike other channels.
If it's broken, fix it. If it's not broken use it.
nice axe.... It is too nice of a tool for me.I would be too nervous to scratch it.It would sit on my wall.
I'm in IT so i'm really not the audience for these kind of videos but watch them in awe of the sheer respect Wranglerstar has for his tools. His respect for the tools for whatever job is currently on is what keeps getting me back to these videos. The knowledge about the tools, how to maintain, fix and work with tools is really valuable.
What I also like is that Wranglerstar just goes out and take the time to do something like this. We all should take a little bit more time in our daily life and apply this mentality especially in a modern society where we "buy a new one when something is broken" kind of times. I know this doesn't apply to everyone but here in the Netherlands i see it often.
What i'm kinda getting to is that more people should know about the tools they use in daily life and try to make most of it.
Anyhow, thx Wranglerstar! You make awesome videos. It must take a lot of effort to make those! I subscribed a while back already so i've already been enjoying your content for a while!
How mcuh would it cost to get him to do this to another axe?
insomb 7 episodes
:(
insomb Im trying to figure out how much to charge. I just dont know?
15:37
When my friend shows me something lame and I pretend that its cool
This is war axe or called as Suicide axe
Sweet Axe Head. The 'hole' in the end of the handle is where it was mounted in the pattern lath. Those things are mass produced using a lathe that can follow a pattern and cut non round shapes. The operator mounts the work piece, and then lets the lathe do the work. There's little artistry involved. The artistry is what you are doing. Fitting the handle so carefully to the axe head. Beautiful work. I like the four in hand for roughing, but I switch to a card scraper or even a piece of broken window glass to do the final shaping. I think a smooth surface gives better contact and more friction to keep the head on the handle. Of course, that could just be a ridiculous conceit of mine. ;-)
the fingerprints make the 10/10 axe into a 5/10
I was watching intently, thinking "please don't break my axe head". Nice job, Cody and Jack.
I love the patient interaction with your son, I wish I had that ability.
Wow this video could not have come at a better time. I have a double bitted axe that i just took off the old handle as it was in bad condition and i am getting ready to hang it on a new handle and this will be my first time hanging an axe. Thanks for all the great information and tidbits. Looking forward to the next video.
Soo nice that your son is with you and helping :-) this channel is soo lovely too watch :-) thanks to your both :-D
When Henry Ford wanted to take America from wagons to cars, he used wood spoked wheels. The spokes of those wheels were made of Hickory, stronger than oak and more resilient. The best wooden axe handle, hammer handle, etc..... Thanks for posting Cody.
Sure I'm not the first to point it out but the hole in the kerf end of the handle is where it was chucked on a live center on the shaper that made it. That's one reason it's so symmetrical.
Nice Axe & amazing view of the Mountain and trees in snow!
I, for one, appreciate the longer videos. Keep doing them, if you are able!
I absolutely love watching the detail he goes into about what's important about tools and quality. Makes me want to design an axe.
That Handle is from The Do-It-Center which is a local company here in the tri-state area in WV,Ohio, and Kentucky. They absolutely make quality products. I've shopped there my whole life.
What a gorgeous axe and a gorgeous view. I love living in the northwest. We have the most amazing scenery.
"This is not where you want to CUT corners" lmao
I love your simple way of doing things. All analog and classy
amazing how dark these old wood shop videos look now!
Great job on new shop
Absolutely Beautiful piece. I really enjoy how you incorporate the family into your videos and that you're teaching Jack so many things that have become a lost art. I wish more fathers would teach their sons to be men. From one Oregonian to another I have to say I wish more of this states residents were like you folks.
Great video. In the Netherlands old ax makers puts the ax in a bucket of water. This way the ax can set into the wood. This is also a tip for an older ax. Put it in the water when an ax is old and have dry wood. Safety first
Put some fat/vaseline on top the ax blade during water. And clean it afterwards.At the end you are hammering on the grip you can also place an other small plank on top of the ax grip and do the hammering less damage and better feeling. But a damaged grip tip doesn't matter because after every use you should hit with the bottom of the ax to the ground so the metal ax can take extra new grip again before you put it away. For long time storage use you vaseline again :)
My God man, that's your backyard view?!?! That's indescribable how majestic that is. Lucky my friend
the Link handle are darker because they are "roasted" before being coated with lacquer, i got some of them off of amazon myself and its 50/50 with them, some are straight and perfect, some are croocked and even got a bowed one with a grain twist in it!
Wow! That is a beautiful double bit. Justin did a great job.
A very small hand plane (hard/sharp sliver of metal) produces a more precise surface contour to completely contact the inner wall for a stiffer durified fit by only taking exactly enough off and can shave with the head on and only backed off a few millimeters for each adjustment. Quicker too. Make a dowel the shape of the hole to drive the handle out of the head each time and use an adel clamp on the handle end (recessed 1/4")), to compress the fibers slightly to lessen the stress (mushrooming) of the build on the fibers from repeated hammering ad adjusting.
I appreciate all of the insights about the handles, grain orientation etc.
