Very fine video! I really enjoyed the approach of less being more aswell as the deep relationship with the tool used.
Very helpful for my current search for a first adze. Thanks!
Pretty cool information .love your experience with the tools you use . Thanks a bunch
That was a great video. He described things very well and covered a lot of interesting subjects including the idea of having fewer tools that you know well. I never felt "well this section is boring, let's fast forward through this".
Thank you to Dave for sharing his knowedge. Really helpful video :)
your axes' collection is magnificent ... practical and aesthetic that find harmony!
Great information. This will definitely help me make a better decision when choosing these tools.
RealErgonomic approach for smooth operation to get required results...great brother...! Thx.
Finaly the information I needed. Thank you so much. I wish you all the best!!!!!:)
great video - and timely thanks
Great video David. Thanks.
That adze handle you made is gorgeous
Great stuff! Just discovered you by listening to an interview on the FineWoodWorking Podcast. Going by your voice I had pictured a 6'2 225 pound heavily bearded, Axe toting Viking lol.
Nice video! Thanks for share
New sub , I really like your video sir.
Dude’s incredible. Hopefully FWW will do more with him.
Fantastic video, I also admire his work and the methods used to create his bowls. Maybe some videos on sharpening those tools would be great. Does he use power sharpeners or grinders? Thanks again !
You can always spot a grandforks bruks axe a mile away. Man those are nice
This guy's the best bowl and spoon carver i've ever seen. His work has inspired me to get into carving.
good one.
Sir, you have one of the most elegant and warm. You have the best tools, they fit exactly on your needs. I would like to know the craftman who made the adze (12:16) .I will buy one! Thank you
I admire David Fisher and his work very much. I would really like to see him featured it more videos. As many as you can possibly talk him into doing would be the perfect number of videos. Thanks.
You're going to be seeing a lot of videos featuring Dave, especially on our member videos.
Dave, you have a rare level of knowledge in a craft that pioneers had to rely on. I often find tools at estate sales, some of which have been caste aside merely because of a broken handle. Your mention of handle length, and pivot point proves you know your subject. I would welcome a video presenting more on your indepth concepts of techniques in the use of specifically designed tools. You might even add more on "rehandling and/or refurbishing"
Thanks for sharing your wisdom and expertise. I'm sure there are many out there you may never hear from, that appreciates you as I do.
Great metaphor at the end that hints at the optimal way of handling human relationships, as well. ;)
What wood would you recommend for a large concave bowl to knead dough for bread?
It is extremely tough to find an adze to purchase! Has anyone found a source that ships to the U.S.? HK, Gransfors, Jason Lonon, and BlackBear Forge all seem have an extremely long wait time.
I feel quite lucky living not that far from where Hans Karlsson is making his axes and adzes.
My dad whom has departed this world was a Boy Scout in the late 1930's. I own his hatches now and I am very proud of them. The handles are in good shape as well as the heads. I keep them sharp and in good shape. One of them has a sheath but one dose not. Can I get a sheath made with the Boy Scout logo? How hard or easy would it be to by a sheath?
All right guys I need a starting point. Who makes the best adze?
Magnetic edge guard?
👍👍
I have a slightly peculiar question here in which I need some help. Could you possibly adze the end-grain of a large stump? Would this work assuming the wood is still fairly green though I am talking about ash one year from cutting. I know that this is not the way an adze should be utilized and that this job is a saw` s task the wood itself also beginning to surface-dry but could this work? The issue is a mishappen chainsaw cutting that I have to deal with being provided with an inacceptable stump so the amount of wood to remove is quite gross. Thanks in advance
I can hear your English teacher side coming through your discussion
Sir I have two hactchets one has a hammer head on one side the other has a oxigonal shaped handle how do I repair a crack in the axe
In the head? You're probably best to demote it to a wedge.
Handles you just carve a new one.
One of the easiest ways is to get a new commercial produced one that's close and shape it out how you want. Best tools to do so probably getting a 4/1 rasp for the handle and a microplane rasp for the eye.
@@horseblinderson4747 the cracks on one side of the axe. It's still sharp it's just cracked and the cracks spreading to the eye
Super profesore love of albanian
Nothing more stupid than starting a "how-to" video with tools you don;t want to use. Pick your tools and show us how you use them...
Lots of value in knowing what doesn't work.
A beginner won't know their full size axe isn't the right axe. They also won't know that other sizes physically look like.
It was a very simple yet direct way, to bring beginners to the right size of axe for this specific work.
Be more humble.
This is an old comment but f**k me you're a miserable one arent you?!
