Good man Eoin I’ve just seen you on nationwide I’m 75 years old and familiar with the tools you’re using I wish you many more years of success you are a great example to your peers 👏🇮🇪

I love that the videos are in 4:3 aspect ratio. Feels nostalgic

I knowww doesn’t it? It’s awesome

I really enjoy this long form tutorial type of video. Shorts and lives are always fun, but these really show how much you truly enjoy what you do and how knowledgeable you’ve become since your earlier videos. Informative, entertaining, and relaxing to watch/listen to. Another great video, Eoin. 👏🏻🙂 side note, seeing the dresser in the background makes me excited for the dresser restoration videos to start as well. 🤗

Hundreds of American girls have suddenly discovered a deep passion for woodworking 😅

Congrats on quitting nail biting. Been struggling my whole life with it and finally think I have it beat. Keep up the good work!

My favorite thing about Eoin is he gives me an old timey feel. Keep going Eoin!

What

Great timing! I'm about to take up after my Grandfather in making axe handles and I missed learning from him as he passed when I was a child. I've collected most his tools, having been left in a wet basement and barn for over 20 years, I'll need to restore each piece and am grateful to have found your channel as you're teaching me about every thing I'm need to do. He was a devout Ash-tian as well, most of his axes I could find have had their handles beat near or clean off so I've already got over 6 axe heads awaiting restoration and pairing to a handle. Like myself, my Grandfather was keen for his axe and did a lot of the work on the house and log camps he built with his double-bitted axe, including some of the best archways I've seen. I appreciate the time you've put in to not only sharing and teaching knowledge that I'd be hard pressed to have found elsewhere, but also you've kinda given me a link to the past to revive a family heritage. Awesome work and thank you!

Good luck to you! I hope you will be very successful and make some wonderful handles!

I gotta say. You single handedly got me to try wood working in highschool right now. I love it and i owe this beautuful nightstand i made to your videos. Cheers mate and keep up the videos!

Loving the long form (not live streamed) content. I know it takes more time to produce but it's great stuff.

I am so glad I ran into this fellow. I already had a want to woodwork but now I have a need to woodwork. I watch these videos because I have learned so much more from them. This tutorial is a prime example of a great lesson on replacing an axe handle, which I actually need to do with my axe! Thank you for your work, pal!

A very good detailed and clear explanation, you are tempted to try it yourself. It turned out very nice and probably durable.

Going to study in Ireland abroad for 4 months, starting in August. Looking forward to it. You got any must-see places ideas?

Super excited! I’ve always love creating with traditional methods, and you hit the nail on the head with this one

What an unbelievably skilled individual you are sir! Ive got an old carpenter's axe that im unable to rehandle... Ive tried everything, but im sure this video's going to help a ton!

This video was very informative and well done. Thank you! I really prefer this formate instead of the shorts. Like seeing you “working” in your shop. Again great video.

I was just about to do research on side axes after learning about them from your content! Thanks for the explanation!

Always good to see this sort of stuff and it's a handy little tutorial. I really love the sort of rambling style, it fits the topic well

Good evening Eoin. Me, Bering a metal working guy, only using wood if I absolutely needed to, as I was never able to do something good with the powertools on hand, came into woodworking trough your lovely shorts and videos. Using handrails took away a lot of the concerns I always had. Seeing you do more of an actual „Tutorial“ style Videos is something I like a lot. Greetings from good ol germany 😊

Amazing work! It's so nice to see a man so skilled and passionate at his trade

I love your non-chronological order of the story 🙃

My brother used to make handles for his tools and watching you reminds me of him... he loved doing that so much.. hes been gone two years now x PS your accent is very easy on the ear, I hope you dont mind me saying that. Easy to listen to your tutorial which showed great skill indeed!

Was looking for a tutorial on how to make one last year but couldn’t find a good one glad you posted one

Great video man, lots of time and effort has obviously gone into this and it is appreciated

Eoin, I have never been in awe of someone ever before. I absolutely love your videos, charm, and the way you express yourself. Wish I'd found you earlier, you surely are someone to look up to, mate! Keep up your great work, as a creative person myself it's always a pleasure to watch you videos Greetings from austria :-)

Beautiful Job. Very well explained 👌👍🏼

10 out of 10 , excellent tutorial, all the best

I started making my first handle yesterday..... either Im really really bad or you just make this look easy. :)

I just hafted my first axe handle yesterday. You make amazing content and have inspired me

Awesome video as usual, great content delivered in an original way 🤩

Thank you so much for this I’ve been trying to make handles.

Brass rivets would look class in the teak end

Love your content brother, and love seeing you use that axe wax made in the state I live in really cool!

You do a great job ,Real great stuff

Bricklayers can't work below 2 degrees because ice forms between the mortar and brick stopping then from chemically binding together, the whole wall can blow down , water based wood glue I assume must have the same properties in close to zero degree weather,hence why the glue failed first time around , love watching your uploads , nice seeing old crafts and methods still being used today in 2024 👍

class video thanks. That half finished axe handle in my workshop might just see the light of day yet!

This man will be teaching me how to make my own drum sticks soon😂

Great stuff. You make me giggle

Nice job, sir!!

Wow brilliant really enjoyed 👏

Love my Shinto Rasp (thanks to you, Eoin! Rough or fine, it’ll hack away material OR finely tune. Just depends on your own pressure and technique. Love the Japanese woodworking methods and tools!

Gonna be honest, your quip about oiling once a day for a week could make for an excellent T-shirt!

New vid! I’m excited

I was gonna make myself a shavehorse, but drawknives aren’t traditional here in Portugal, and I don’t see you using yours anyways so I’ll stick to the vice, clamps, planes, rasps and files I already have. It’s easy to think you need this or that on hobby woodworking

Oh yeah, it's all coming together 😎

Good timing for a video like this, I got this old hammer that has over time become my favorite over newer steel and fiberglass styles. It's got a standard hammer face on one side of the head and a rubber mallet on the other... the handle is starting to crack away. I was going to possibly replace the handle with american hickory but maybe ash is a better choice. Either way well done 👍

I'll have a go at it

Just subscribed. And now i need a draw knife!!

thank you

If you're looking for a new project a dugout canoe would be good viewing, it's on my list but can't see it happening for sometime and would be interesting to see how it goes and it won't be long until the good weather is apon us so we won't have to wait too long for the maiden voyage... I do love the handles thou,.. 😊

Do you have recommendations on where to get hand tools? The rasp you keep going on about, for example? Love the videos! -a beginner woodworker, Georgia, USA

Hey that axe wax is made in my state how neat

That reminds me why my father had a long lead pencil. Had my head scratching until now.

That's a wicked video and wicked sharp axe. What do u think of the parkside sharpening station any good?? I've seen it few times but considered buying it but not yet. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍

You were talking about simpler tools for finding center line, you can get pretty accurate with a scale/rule that’s in millimeter or 32nds of an inch… line up an edge with the 1in or 1cm line instead of the end of the rule for higher accuracy

@swgard1

Im guessing you already know of how accurate you get reading imbetween lines on a rule as a seasoned woodworker, but I’ve met plenty of people who don’t

the oil in teak makes it hard to glue a rub of white sprits would help.

Can you show more about how you make the wedges?

Hey Eoin, so I was trying to use a that draw knife/spoke shave for building a shovel handle and the wood I used was oak, the issue I had was it kept chipping out significant amounts of material. Was I trying to shave off too much material? Thanks for the content!

Noticed you have triple Layers on the torso, how do you feel about flannel/blanket lined jeans?

Lyndsey Doyle, what a beaut! Shinto rasps, where can i buy one?

THEEEERE HE ISSSS the 4:3 wood working genius

Careful using the belt grinder to sharpen. If you heat the blade too much you can remove the temper in the steel.

Boiled linseed oil? Stepping up lol

I have a decent-sized offcut of ash from a while ago and a rusty hatchet head, and I'd like to try making my first axe handle. Trouble, is the grain is near parallel to the eventual blade. Is this a major issue, given that I'm mostly just trying to get some practice for now?

How ya now

If ye have any of them hatchet handle templates id buy one 👍

When the axe wood is semi-green, does it risk cracking when further drying out?

I have a bearded hatchet from Cold Steel but a replacement handle but it doesn't fit right I was wondering how much one would be for my bearded tomahawk

Hey lad, I'm a Canadian shepherd and I had a shepherd's hook made for me by my farrier but it's up to me to put a handle on it... I'm no stranger to wood working but I can't figure out how to get a handle inside this type of tool... it has a tube sort of, that the handle slides into... what do I do?!

Hi Dude, I am looking for a Greenland paddle, is this something you could make for me? if soo, please reach out to discuss the idea… Many thanks for your time

Are you using boiled linseed oil for all ur projects? Isnt it full of lead?

Have you accidentally hurt yourself in the process of making something? If so did it change your process going forward and safety precautions?

The sheath will also protect you the user. If you put a put a box or put it somewhere, you’re not gonna cut yourself.

You should get yourself a mechanical carpenter's pencil for the hard to reach places

what's that spray bottle you're using? Some kind of special oil, or just WD40?

"Ash Axe Handle" ok nowsay that 5 times fast 😂

Can I ask why danish oil and wax and then linseed oil?

How can you tell when the wood is ready moisture wise? You mention you left some to dry and be prepared, is there a way you can tell?

20% Is the best moisture content for woodworking it takes half a year to air season softwood but put a cloth or cover up the end grain with paint or you will get end splits.

ever though about hand saw being not straght i mean up vs down eage /side?

How many hours does it typical take to make a handle like this?

16:14 what type of spray are you using

Is WD not sponsoring you any more?

Can you make me one of these please 🙏

Can anyone tell me where to buy the Woden Woodwork vice 189B/3 with quick release? With shipping to Germany.

do you know why it is called danish oil? greatings from a clueless dane

What are you spraying everything with wd40?

hi eoin could you do something similar for a double headed axe?

@davidseslar5798

3 ай бұрын

Double headed axes often have straight handles similar to sledge hammers and some splitting mauls, like this one kzread.info/dash/bejne/epZ2tKaEiZennc4.html that Eoin charred the handle for. Start with a portion of a 1" split plank similar to this video with a width larger than the axe eye is long and a length to suit; shave the shaft to taste and eye-end as needed, perhaps with an added pommel like the teak one here; hang, finish and start chopping!

Where'd you get the jacket
