    This hatchet head was from the flea market. 10$. This handle was inspired by many tools from the late 1800's.. wood is rose wood... the handle is cold rolled steel.

      +Eye Toldyoosso That may have been Mrs. Wranglerstar. She is really big on privacy. In their book, she said she was reluctant to do anything on CZcams to begin with because she thought everyone would figure out where they lived and other personal details. If you were blocked early on in the channel, it was probably because she still didn't trust/know how CZcams works. It's still pretty extreme to block you for that though. Just a thought.

  • @geraldbrooks2763
    @geraldbrooks2763 Před 8 lety +23

    question; if you made a steel handle, why not just weld the head on? i know youre not planning on using the hatchet ( which looks badass) every day but there looks like there are gaps around the wedge front and back. so it would work its way out eventually. or would it have been stronger to drill through the head and rivet it directly to the handle. seems like that would work on metal but not wood. i have a few old axe bits so i think ill try.

    • @geraldbrooks2763
      @geraldbrooks2763 Před 8 lety +2

      not an axe nerd, just an honest question.

    • @andregross7420
      @andregross7420 Před 8 lety +21

      Axe heads are a high carbon steel and can be hard to weld. Welds don't always hold up well to shocks, and can crack.
      A pin through the side of the axe will loosen, because the hole in the side of the handle will oval out and become larger. Some do that with hammers and they never stay tight.

    • @alexchulzhanov
      @alexchulzhanov Před 8 lety +3

      You would ruin the temper on the ax head. That and they are dissimilar metals, which don't weld together very well. You'd probably have to solder it together and that would ruin the temper as well.

    • @FireGuy90
      @FireGuy90 Před 7 lety +2

      razdrazchelloveck it's so he can hammer them into a rivet, or 'peen' them. The shrinkage you mention is minor, and by upsetting the metal he is compressing it down its length to make a tight joint. They used to put together ships hulls in a similar fashiob

    • @bigredc222
      @bigredc222 Před 6 lety

      Electric welding came into use in the early to mid 1900s, before that, any time two pieces of steel had to be joined, they used rivets, sometimes bolts and nuts, but mostly rivets.
      When a hot rivet cools it gets tighter, pulling the metal together.

    Beautiful handle. I really like the look of that wood when it's lighter and has a more walnut appearance to it. The real dark stain still looks quite good.

    A thing of beauty! I love the wedge material reversal for keeping the head on. Awesome work as always Jimmy!

    I think it would be cool to add a timer to these videos. Something that tracks how many hours you put into each project, from start to finish. I think a lot of people don't realize how long it really takes.

    Ok I admit that was pretty cool. At first I thought you were thinking to far outside the box but, fair enough, that was really cool.

    Peps if you do attempt to build it, keep it for the display as it will ruin your wrist joints. The handle have to be made of material with anti-vibration properties. Looks Amazing!

    I've been watching your art for quite some time now and am always impressed. But then you come up with a project like this one, and "wow" just doesn't seem to cut it any more...
