Watch out for the boiled lindseed oil!! If you put it on a rag/ paper towel make sure you have it in a metal can or despose of it where it won't be a issue if it ignites I had a rag that had boiled lindseed oil on it and threw it in a garbage can. 6 hours later I get woken up by a terrible smell and ended being the boil lindseed oil rags combusting in the garbage can!!

Forget the axe type and head, this guy knows what he is doing. The approach, knowing to hold it upside down and not rest it on the floor, listen for and feel for changes, retract and repeat. Watch how he cuts the wood with a knife not perpendicular to the wood but parallel and up to ghe metal of the axe head. All correct. Well done sir!

I'm 67 and it's refreshing to see your craftmanship.

I've missed this type of video. I just sat through the entire video and it only felt like about 5 minutes. Great job, I love to watch somebody do their job with pride.

I'm clearing some land at my place and have several pignut hickory trees that have to come down. Can't wait to see the kind of handles they make! Great video! Stay warm =D

I know this is a late comment, but pignut hickory is the densest wood in America and it makes fabulous handles some of the best I've ever seen, that's the only wood my great grandfather would use and those handles are still as strong as nails now 70 years later, but he took really really good care of them.

An absolutely beautiful hang! Well done!

Wranglerstar thanks I already did for his content. I'm a knife maker myself and my master is Peter Kohler of Dark Timber and love the tooling on the head which is very similar to how Peter finishes his knives. I'll keep watching.

It never ceases to amaze me the amount of detail that you put into your work. What a great looking axe.

Nice job. I appreciate you explaining the details you look for, like where the wood curls back as the axe head gets tight.

That is beautiful I could never chop wood with it.

Damn fine axe....would be proud to have that.

I am so glad I watched this. A few months ago I had to replace a handle on an old splitting maul and just got a store bought handle. I have already started to have problems with it being loose and now I realize it wasn't the handle itself, I just didn't go through the process of seating it properly. Thanks to this I am going to (hopefully) do a better job with it and wont have to fix it again.

Cody, I have watched so many of your videos and I want to say that I appreciate your ability to not only tell a good story but also your natural way of sharing and teaching. You are a born teacher. My career has been in the building industry. I have taught many men carpentry and woodworking. The frustrating part but also the rewarding part is that when their skills get developed and they are proficient at what they do, they usually move on. Either to self employment or up the ladder to another challenge. I have learned much from watching your videos and look forward to more of your projects. A true Master works toward the student exceeding the Master. Such is why we share our lives with others. We are community and we all should serve community for its ultimate health and well being. God bless you and yours.

My grandfather stored the shingle hatchet head down, with a hole drilled down in end of the handle, which was kept filled with boiled linseed oil. The handle was always well oiled but dry and ready to work on a roof. Because I don't have any wood shingled roofs I don't need to do this.

Fantastic. that axe is absolutely beautiful. iam glad to subscribe to justin and amy if they are friends of yours and if by some miracle i win that axe it would be treasured forever :-)

axe hanging is actually how i found your channel, and i gotta say, this is the best looking one ive ever seen! i recently did an old plumb double bit that belonged to my grandfather, and i thought it looked great.. but there just aren't going to be many to compare to that piece of art! very cool.

This was a pleasure to watch. Simple and skillful.

Cody, you decry the shallowness and manufactured drama of reality TV, yet you resort to it's bag of tricks in your titles. I for on want to see "Low Keyy day on the homestead, lots accomplished" Instead of "NEWEST,BESTEST,MOST AMAZING THING SINCE YESTERDAY!!!!!"

Very nice job hanging that handle. It amazes me how hard it is to find good axe handles. Over Christmas I had two axes that I was refurbishing and it took me 7 hardware stores before I could find two somewhat decent handles. The good part is I was able to educate a lot of hardware store associates on what to look for in a handle thanks to the good instruction you've given us over the years! Hopefully they will pass the word up to the change to the store buyers and manufacturers. Thanks again!

Cody I really enjoy all your videos and like the variety you keep things fresh.I have been a long time watcher and loved all the timber framing but truly enjoy the side trips we get to come along on, like most of your viewers I love owning tools, firearms and my family (that was in no particular order) so all your videos appeal to me , keep up the great work , Happy New Year!

I've learned so much from your channel, Mr. Wranglerstar, even though I doubt I'll ever use this info all by myself - I've recommended your channel to my hubby, but he knows a lot of what you teach/show everyone already. I absolutely love spending time with my husband doing 'like' projects but you take the extra time to explain the why's & how's of the process needed. (Sometimes when you know what you're doing, you can become impatient with those who don't know, that's understandable...).

The long videos are great! Thanks for sharing! Always enjoy!

Really nice addition to any tool collection.....beautiful

Amazing axe is right, and amazing information on how to fit the axe head correctly. Thanks Cody!

Learned how to do this in my college forestry classes. Granted we didn't have that many nice wood tools but we learned with what we had.

I've messed up so many times. Thank you for the detailed hanging information.

Great tutorial! I have a couple of old axe heads, a single and a double that I hope to restore. This will definitely help.

That is such an amazing looking ax. Watching your videos I'm learning so much.

Thanks for adding valuable knowledge and skill to the public. I hope this ax finds a fit home

I think it's possible to avoid the split at the final step, if you soak the wood and ax in oil and make it soft, before hammering the metal bit in the top.

Your videos are so interesting, Thanks for the teachings !

It's amazing when you put hard work and time into something you love it can turn out to be something as beautiful as that axe there it's the best looking axe I've ever seen

A really neat thing about buying old tools is the history that goes along with it. I would love to hear a little more about the history behind this axe head! Your friend did an amazing job refurbishing and polishing it. And in a way, you have just added to this axe heads already long history. A chapter in it's history to be told by the lucky crafstman, collector, or heck maybe even a fellow feller. Thanks for the great content.

I Love the way you pay attention to detail!!!

I really enjoyed this video, I see now what to do that I didn't do on my last handle. thanks

Your Outstanding , pure Joy watching vids like these 👍

Love the look on his face when he strikes the bottom of the axe handle at 3:34 hahaha

Seriously amazing, Id like to be as handy as you are one day. Thanks for teaching me tricks of the trade.

It's really a beauty. Wish i had the skills and time to do this.

you have open my eyes and looking for this now I never really thought about you know the grain of the wood how it fits I just kind of throw together now that I'm watching your videos and I'm learning this it actually helps out a lot thank you

Thank you for sharing all this knowledge!

You explain very good what you are doing and how you thinking!

Your attention to detail is impeccable, beautiful Axe

I'm in love with the polish on the axe!!

Cody's face when he hits the handle with the hammer is priceless!!!!

Nice. Been looking forward to the next part. Time for a cup of tea and wranglerstar. Thank you Cody, god bless!

Such a beautiful axe and great handle work!

Love watching your videos, Cody! I appreciate details and quality as well.

that split only shows you that its a really tight fit.does not hurt a thing.great job.i had a relative that made handles.the old way.then they started doing them on a milling lathe.keep the videos coming.ty

They almost hit 10,000 subs already, What a great way to help growing channels.

What a beautiful job on the handle Cody, nice attention to detail on the head mounting. Wishing I had seen this before I did my axe head, I see I made so many mistakes. Well I guess I can start over and do it right now. Thank you.

Very interesting process. I have never seen that done before.

wow. just wow. great video, love the detail. also that axe is truly incredible.

I can't get over how cool that thing is!

Awesome handle you put on the axe head. So great that Justin and Amy stopped by to see me on there way to see you. Loved seeing the axe head in person. Take care

the most beautiful axe I have ever seen. what a great job.

Excellent video Cody, thank you. I'll have to binge watch my grandkids say, as I missed a few episodes. Very beautiful axe and handle by the way.

so good to go over basic handle fitting

Ohhhh Dude, I love you. So many guys talk to much. Talk 15 minutes about what they are GOING to do. Then do a poor job of it. No, no. You didn't do that. You explained so much I have had problems with on fixing axes or any other tool that needs a new handle. I learned soo much from you. Perfect delivery of narrative. Great ax head. And your treatment of the handle and the way you did it was perfect. I may never have such an awesome ax but I will say this, next rusty ax head I get that needs a handle, I can now do it perfectly. Maybe not as beautifully as you did it but well enough that it can last a very long time. You explained and demonstrated every single technique I will need to do it right rather than just rushing through it to have a so so job like I have done in the past. I now know how far down the head must be to be done right. I know what to do with the excess material. I know what to do when the wood is too tight and curls over. I learned how to tap the handle into the head and how to extract it properly. I know now to use linseed oil to treat it. I never even thought of that before. By the time you were done I was totally in love with your techniques and feeling grateful as ever I could be. Thanks man. BTW, you did bring it up so... ya, your hair cut you got last time sucks. Just growing out made it look worse. I suggest a new barber. I get a barber than cuts in such a way that a month later it looks fine.

I love watching you make handles!

Very nice job, it's all about the details, outstanding!

Great reflection of the work bench in the axe head!

Nice work! There is less chance of splitting if you start the step wedge with the grain instead of against it
