I found an old axe on my dad's property and it was in desperate need of restoration. It looked to have good quality steel and as I uncovered it and returned it to it's former glory I realized I was right! What a beauty it is now. I replaced the handle with a new Ash one and made it a little longer than it's original. Thanks for following the journey! - Jak na to + styl

Jesse, Samurai, I can land an airliner so smooth sometimes the passengers don’t know we’ve touched down, and before that as a US Navy F/A-18 combat pilot I could send a bomb through the front door from 10,000 feet, but for the life of me I don’t know how you create such beautiful wooden works of art. I’ll go to my grave never being able to develop such skills. I salute you young man, truly inspiring. Thumbs up!
Looks like a Wetterling export, possibly this: Swedish Felling Axe No. 8 - Michigan Pattern, Single Bit. From around 1959. Excellent Swedish steel, japanned head, 3 1/2 lbs, 4 3/4” cut, 34” handle.
That's exactly what I was thinking 🤔 😂
Here I was, thinking it was an axe…
We found the axe junkie 😁👍
Think you’ll find it’s the No 7
Definitely not a Michigan pattern, closer to a Dayton but not really a Dayton either.
Probably a decent axe, but not exactly " excellent ".
The swedish exports from back in the day were budget axes, and my vintage GB is on the softer side.
Noticeably softer than my 1960's True Temper woodslasher.
I'm fairly sure that's an SAW Wetterlings.
The SAW logo had the A sitting a little higher than the S and W and there are/were 3/4 circles around the S and W connecting with the roughly 1/2 circle on the A (most of it on top and a slight bit on under the A)
You got yourself quite a unicorn 😁
Yeah that is 100% an S.A.Wetterlings
That was very rel-axe-ing. Thanks for sharing!
Gooood afternoon from central Florida! Hope everyone has a great day!
It looks like a faller's axe light but with enough snort (3 ½ lbs) to pound FG wedges to control where the tree lands. I used one of these in the late '60s on the island at Franklin River.
Enjoyed your channeling Doug Marcaida Forged in Fire- "It will shave!" :)
You have a lovely workshop, Mr. Samurai!
I’ve watched about 4 “restoration” videos today of old axes and probably a hundred in the past, yours is the only one I actually approve of. Thank you for restoring my faith.
Гляньте пятое видео канал Кирилл Ранс. Гарного перегляду !
Very nice job,but he miss something. Always oil the top of the handle before putting the head on
Looking at the head and the shape of the handle I recognise it straight away as I have one myself it's a Gransfors Bruk they been making axes since 1902 picked mine up from a flea market 10 years ago fantastic steal a real workhorse and pleasure to use. 🤠🇦🇺
SAW = SA Wetterlings. One of the best, though not better than that Liam Hoffman sitting on your bench. The heavier pitting on one side is typical for an axe that spent an extended time with that side laying against the ground. It won’t hurt function a bit though.
Would also think it is a SAW wetterlings... Stunning handle, good choise with the extra curve... Nice job
That axe is a wedge banger used by lumberjacks to bang wedges. That's why the handle is a little short and the weight is only 3 1/2 pounds. On your way up to the off grid property next time, stop in and see Buckin Billy Ray in Nanaimo and show him. He knows everything axes.
Always up for a new samurai vid! Glad to see you back at home with the family
I'm no expert but in my limited experience I would have to say that, to me, it looks like its a metal axe. I hope I'm not wrong. Loved the restore...
The sword of the woodworking samoerai 👍
It's a Wetterlings. Probably made in 70's or 80's.
just seen this videolooks like that could be a SAW settlings head.I have a few and the steel quality is great and as you proved they take a great edge.I refurbish a lot of axes and you have great skills.
Just inspired me to sand and reoil two tool handles that I had accidentally left outside. Fantastic work!
Фантастика это Кирил Ранс.
Гарного настрою !
The faded stamp is "SAW", for Sven Axel Wetterling.
Superrr !
The Best !
Awesome restore project. Loved it
Looks like you've been watching Buckin' Billy Ray!
"it will shave" lol nicceeee
Nice job! Always good to watch restoration vids on old tools.
That turned out really nice !!! Not sure how I missed this one but binge watching some restoration vids now, thanks again !!
Odies oil gives this channel a Truman Show edge.
I am glad you showed how to "draw" an axe head into the proper place.
I love restoration vids, I started following you for the cabin build but this is right up my alley too, thanks for the great content :)
I remember back when I started doing martial arts, a teacher said to remove the lacquer from the training weapons. Grind it off and give them oil - the wood needs to breathe and it makes for better handling, grip and longevity (lacquered wood doesn't really return to a somewhat original shape after being banged together).
Love these restoration videos !
That handle looks absolutely perfect :) (Of course it does, Samurai Carpenter made it.) :)
That should say SAW Wettlings.Spell correct caught me!!!!!!
Awesome video mate, loved seeing this axe being brought back to life!
I'm feeling relaxed and at peace with the world now.
I was hoping to see you test it out, looks awesome
Amazing restoration!
Well done!
you keep an insane throughput lately samurai ... much appreciated!
wetterlings axe maybe? great job on it looks great!
yes it is a SAW Wetterlings Sweden Axe 3.1/2 Lbs
Sweet! You can never have too many axes. Nice restoration on this one. Bravo samurai.
Or Chainsaws!😊
Very nice
I've tried several times to get an edge like that on my axes to no avail. I'm very impressed every time I see that some one has done that. It must take a lot more patience than I can muster.
Wetterlings axe! From Sweden.
"watching a guy smell his fingers"
That line killed me LOL
Great axe for the cabin. Excellent rehab on that!
Beautiful work and a gorgeous piece of wood.
You should paint some cool red or orange stripes around the bottom of the handle.
Fantastic work, dude! Nicely done! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Beautiful work. This is inspiration for me to restore 3 old hatchets I have and make new handles.
Beautiful wetterlings nice job, beautiful axe. I'm going to try some of that finish. Beautiful axe 🪓
That hand chiseling, plaining and even hand sanding has some ASMR qualities to it for sure. Almost hate when the recording gets sped up.
methinks brant has said it all.
mos def saddened by too nuch FF
of the video.
a more beautiful, or more beautifully crafted axe handle wld be not easily found.
yet another thoroughly disgusting project,
cobbled shabbily tgether by our own samuraicarpenter.
truly pathetic jess. tho as long as you keep trying, the possibility does still exist.
maybe someday . . .
the rocking chair was sexy. quite.
this? the axe handle?
im feeling that this handle,
has trumpt the chair.
the axe handle is just sexier than the rocker
no brag. just fact.
It's nice that someone has the skills, tools, time and patience to do something like this. Ty, for taking your time, to make this video. Good job.
RIP the original handle😭
You did a great job making a new one though! Great job!
There was a nice sharp chopper hidden beneath all the rust and pitting. You showed us the potential value of yard sale finds.
seen a lot of restoration videos, I actually enjoyed this one way more than I expected
If you look at the marking, it looks like: Sw(eden). (W) = Sweden Wetterling. Nice good old axe.
Good restore, looks like original handle.
Beautiful. Looking forward to your next video chopping firewood with it. Great job Danielson....
This became a very nice new tool! Congrats!
Turned out Awesome!
Very nice restoration, Samurai!
Beautiful!
It's more like.
"What you watching, honey?"
"Oh just a guy rubbing is wood with oil"
Exceptional handling effort!! Wood grain is perfect and a black walnut wedge too!
Buckin' Billy Ray has to be one of CZcams's best authoritys on axes, and he is on the Island. I'm surprised that I couldn't find a collaboration between Jesse and Buckin'. Vancouver is a BIG island, and Jesse is right at the southern end of it. I don't know where Buckin' is exactly.
Lucky you, it's a wetterlings! Nice trophy
Great job Samurai.
Beautiful Jesse ,Thankyou.
I rarely comment on any of the channels I follow, but I appreciate your work and the crafstmanshift... wonderful editing -- really well done :)
Looks great!
The Samurai Carpenter : Have you ever tried to apply the finish before placing the axe head? So to protect that interior part of the axe? Or maybe soak everything in mineral oil? A true question just to know.
My father had an axe which looked very similar. He got it from his Swedish grandfather ini 1935. He was told that it had been in the family for 320 years, but during that time it had 7 new heads and 14 new handles. Same axe, very old . . .
Thank you for your content! Makes my day brighter seeing you live your dreams, man.
Living all of ours too 😔
It looks like the haft got soaked, froze, and the cracked the head. It was likely welded and the weld was then ground. It’s a Wetterlings from Sweden.
Nicely done!
LOGO would have been SAW. They are good axes with good steel.
My friend, great video. Please be safe
I like that axe. Turned out better than I thought it would.
Nicely done. I really like to round and smooth the bottom of all my axes and mauls and hatchets. It sounds small, but it makes a better feeling tool for old guys like me. Thanks.
Сказано от всего сердца. !!
It might be an S A W or Wetterlings, which I think was preceded gransford brukes but I could be wrong. I have one each S A W letter is circled separately. Followed by ( drop forged. ) They are hard to find. Collector items. You can find them on Ebay some times. It has the shape of one.
S A W stands for Sven Axel Wetterling btw. Started Wetterlings like late 1800's. he sold his part in 1915. Gränfors bruk opened 1902 or something.
@@theablanca6803 I think my 50 dollar investment in a SAW hatchet head will hold its value better than the dollar will. My stanley *8 wood plane increased in value by about 30 to 100 percent.
@@theablanca6803 The Wetterlings EX line of axes was in production from 1920 to the 1960s
@@theablanca6803 It was a premium product that used a special steel in a laminated bit. As well as a special heat treating process. They were the best of the best.
Nice restore !
Como siempre un muy buen trabajo.
Ese mango de hacha quedó perfecto.
i buy the Paint Remove disks at harbor freight that fit on my right angle grinder... its like a plastic 3m scrub pad but it easily polished up my 70 year old shovel and pitch fork from a rusty mess to looking like chrome
Beautiful handle bud!
Nice job!
"W" is probably Wetterlings of Sweden... Great axe
I can’t believe your 6’6”! I never would’ve guessed that.
Nicely done
Nice video dude, very enjoyable result!
that sir is a WETTERLINGS. above the sweden would be 3 circles with S A W (sven axel wetterling) in them and possibly the type of axe it is under the sweden.
awesome stuff!
“Well Wranglerstar would have used boiled linseed oil on the handle” 🤣 I am sure he is watching with envy of your woodworking talents. Great job. Thanks for the video.
WS what an ass LMAO Bckin Billy Ray can haft an ax, check his channel
hes a fake wranglerstar
@@yoeycrack1 Nobody on this earth is more fake than Wranglerstar,...
I would think an advantage for linseed oil is for soaking down into the eye material. Definitely doesn't smell as nice
Good work
great improvement on the palm swell.
Nice. You did it well 😊💪🏿
This is Awesome. Thank you
Really nice !
“So …. How does it chop?”
Perfect
Wanna see it in action!
Looks good.
