    Mate I left my job at the lumber mill after 9 years because I love and wanted to be behind a axe and chainsaw. Been selling firewood for a year since I left my job. Love bukin wood, I'm running a ms660 and 034 atm but them old saws you run are amazing, must say. Love your work mate

    I've done the same mistake on one of my axes, did pretty much what you did.. glued a piece of a busted handle and drove the wedge home.. that's 4 years ago, and it's still going strong. Good glue and the right fit works Magic..like a glove. Haha!! All the best to the Army, take care of one another and keep on being kind :)

    I have done, what we call a poor man's handle. And use cross wedges and they will hold a very long time. When you have broken handle and you need the axe or hammer. You can make it work. Great job Billy. I have a hard epoxy I use to set my wedges.

    I did a cross wedge on a 6# sledge. Mine was planned and I did a double kerf through the middle. My wedges were a bit aggressive and would pop out while hammering. Eventually I got all of them to stick, put two metal wedges in and it's holding up well so far.

  • @williamlathrop7642
    @williamlathrop7642 Před 4 lety

    Believe in your self buckin. Drive that wedge home. Move on and celebrate. I had my young nephew give me a haircut today. In mid procedure he asked, how fast does your hair grow. I said go with your gut. Keep cutting. Every thing is fine, you have to trust and believe. Barber shops here are closed for another month. He then tells me I'm going gray. I said I earned it boy, keep going. What a wonderful laugh we had. I may look like a seal with ears but I'm happy.

    Thanks

  • @digdugdat2847
    @digdugdat2847 Před 4 lety

    I have a carpenter's hatchet head that I wanted to put a longer handle on, so I used a old axe handle and cut off to the desired length. The end result gave the it a curved handle (why I did it in the first place) but no shoulder which made it look more like a tomahawk on the head end. The eye however had the same situation as on this video except a little less than 1/4 gap.
    The solution was tapering a piece of 1/4 round metal stock and sending it 5 inches down along the handle which kept the head not only in place but provides protection under the beard of the axe from missed blows. I paracord wrapped that section so to cover up the work, provide further protection, and have a handle there too.
