For those who don't know hurley is,an ancient Irish war sport. Basically two groups of drunken young men, with no more protection than an athletic cup, gather in tee shirts and shorts on a muddy field. A hard ball, almost exactly like a baseball, is tossed put. Then the two groups try to beat each other to death. It used to end in a ritual where the injured and fatalities were brought back to the home village on rough grids, also called hurdles, covered with brush. This,is called " bringing home the dead". If you will, it's a seriously homicidal version of lacrosse. Both Irish sexes play it. They do this for fun.

I grew up in new York City and my father was a Lietrim football player. Almost evey summer Sunday we were at Gaelic park in the Bronx. I'm all American but proud of my Irish heritage. I remember the hurley stick having a different hape, the bottom was more foot like than what you have. The hurley players were always somewhat beligerant and ready for a fight, much like our hockey players. Keep up the good work.

(credentials: blacksmith, amateur carpenter) when charring a functional piece, the hotter your flame the better. a hotter flame will char a very fine layer on the surface faster without giving it the time for the heat to penetrate deeper, causing the wood to become brittle. I would recommend a propane weed burner with high flow for the large application area and fairly high temperature

@@plasmahead2 only rose bud torch I know of would be my weed burner, and anything in that style you really don't want oxyacetylene or really anything with added oxygen running through, would probably melt the thing. straight propane in a proper ratio till the flame is so blue it's invisible in the sun is the best way to char wood in my experience. quick, even passes will touch the surface with black but leave the wood cool to the touch within a half second

That is beautiful

I remember reading somewhere that they used to char bow staves because it would harden the wood by causing the grain to shrink. I dont know weather I read it it in a fantasy book or a survival book though because i read a lot of both.

This man is just so charming. The Irish accent is charming and the fact that he is Irish implies he lives in a beautiful place and his profession is so simple yet complex and interesting. Good people are real and this man is living proof.

“Lucy run!” Made me laugh so hard

Love the energy of you’re videos mate. You clearly love a peaceful life!

Lovely work love your content. Love cactuscup❤

Love your work! You are a very talented young man

If you're looking to char something without going deep paradoxically You might want to go with more intense heat You can scroll an oxygen torch across a piece of wood like a pen and leave a thin layer of charcoal without heating the wood. You can literally scorch one side of a piece of paper and leave the other side lillywhite with this technique. Not sure how you could do that evenly though, You would probably have hatching.

That’s Phenomenal and extremely Beautiful !!!. ❤.

Looks beautiful brother keep it up man

This video gave me a breakthrough on my irish accent, thank you

I don’t know why I’m surprised to see a celtic top, love from glasgow

For my Americans: hurling plays a bit like lacrosse, though the field is 140 to 160 yards long. The ball (called a sliotar) can be hit upwards of 110 mph. A player holding the ball is allowed 4 steps (think ultimate frisbee) before bouncing the ball off his hurl, which gains him 4 more. Balancing the ball on the hurl allows you to run as long as you can balance it. You can hit the ball from the ground or the air. To pick up the ball, you have to scoop it up with the hurl. You probably have a hurling club in your nearest city!

Oh! Now the song Legend of Cu Cullain makes sense! "Grabbed his hurley in his hand... ball through his head" I was thinking of a shotput or a spear and i was just misshearing a lyric or two! This makes far more sense.

sleek, crisp, clean

God bless Ireland everything i learn about it makes more proud to sport 60 percent Irish blood

More Hurley content would be nice. Love this so far.

So I’ve been in and around woodworking tube for a while, and I’ve heard people make distinctions as to whether they’re using raw or boiled linseed oil. What’s the difference?

I'll be honest that is the most beautiful piece of wood I have ever seen. Very beautiful craftsmanship

very nice job lad. always enjoy your videos

Hi Owen, Kevin Walsh here. The lift to Balla today 😊!

Definitely worth tryin again 👍

always a good day when he comes into my recommended lol

I could listen to you talk about anything. I enjoy the accent.

The grain in that one is spot on. I’m assuming thats helping

You did a great job with it

Lucy, run!! 🤣

Ahhh the noble hurley!

The Hurley also reminds me a lot of a wooden war club/axe. I bet it would be a fantastic zombie weapon.

I like how you actually thought about the compensation of the charring versus the thickness

Great job 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

The thing’s really beautiful when charred I think!

Was in Ireland a few weeks ago(from canada) and learnt about hurling for the first time... brought back 3 sticks and 2 balls... wish this sport was readily available here... it cool to see vids about it after I got to try it out with some locals in galway

Pretty good

Hurley is an under appreciated game

I want a Hurley someday. I forget where, but I remember reading that it’s based on ancient war clubs

That'll be the coolest hurley on the pitch I bet

I gotta say, I loved you in Game of Throwns

i just heard about Hurling for the first time this sunday thats so wild!

Very beautiful hurl! My one would of never competed against that if it wasn’t stolen

Hurling is the coolest team sport I wish we had it in the states

Hurling is an insane sport. In the 80's at a 5 star Ho Jo ;) at 2AM when ESPN sometimes just had 2 dudes playing catch they broadcasted a Hurling match. In 5 minutes I witnessed a dude get blast in the face and another get his shin snapped and play didn't stop. Team mates dragged off their mangled mate, substituted, & continued play. Was gnarly.

This is the most interested i've been in ages

been too long since I played! so cool btw

That honestly is the sickest looking Hurley I’ve seen I’m sure if you could make them as strong as a normal one you could make some amount of dosh

I’ve always wanted a hurley from Ireland. My family is from Waterford and I’m dying to go and see for myself.

Looks nice but would not survive the clash of the ash, but Linseed oil is the way to go with hurleys they used to rub it in back in the 60s & 70s.

I had no idea what you first said and i was so confused "how doyoucharacharlie?". God bless you.

As a Hurley i fully condone this

I got given a hurley not too long ago. Might have to give this a shot.

I doubt itll break my irish cousin you're a master of your craft, and I applaud you.
