As someone who truly loves knots and takes a lot of pride in being able to tie them properly, I felt compelled to thank you for using the word "bight". It warmed my soul and further increased the respect and admiration I have for you. Thanks for the videos man!

Great tips and how-to! Thank you! I make hand crafted walking sticks and look forward to adding these types of handle grips to some of them. Many thanks Doug!

I do something similar, and use wax for the final seal. Rub one of those emergency candles over it and heat it up between coats so it soaks in. Also works well over hockey tape (that's where I started doing it). Great grip and lasts for years

I'm on the "I like that! How can I do it?" wagon. Thanks for the vid Doug...

That's a wrap, he says.

Nicholas Polachuk ...For better grip when your hand gets sweaty or tired or in the rain, Obviously 🙄

I just found this video. My uncle used this technique on hiking staffs that he made, and several other projects. He never showed me the technique he used but described it to me. This has got to be the same way he did it. He passed away years ago. I really enjoyed this and now I have several uses for it. Thanks.

I forgot to come back. I did this on mine utilizing thicker hemp wrap on lower part and thin hemp on upper part near the axe head. Turned out great. thanks for posting so long ago!!

I still come back to this one for reference. Used the same idea for whipping on a camp-made hiking stick - still got it. Thanks Doug.

Just did a vid showing my walking stick with whipping - thanx again Doug! kzread.info/dash/bejne/ppmnmrF6o67KebA.html

you have a way of showing how too" that is very simple and enjoyable to watch glad to see new vids from ya when they come out thank you for shareing your knowledge doug !!!

Great video Doug! I just finished my first attempt at whipping my gransfors bruks kubben hand hatchet and it worked great. The only difference is I used fiberglass resin(it was what I had available in my garage). My small forest axe is in the mail as we speak and can't wait to whip the handle. Thanks again for the video. P.s. all your videos are great.

sorry guys, but i just can't seem to figure out why its not done full screen -gonna have to ask one of my kids i guess :)

New subscriber here. Thank you for the refresher course, I learned this many years ago and had kind of forgotten about it and never did know the name of what this style of wrapping was/is actually called. Now I know. Thanks again, well done.

I wanted to give you a special thank you for this video. I have a short handle axe that always seemed the handle was thin and I didn't really trust it. I saw this video and I tried it. Now the handle is almost perfect size and it feels so much stronger that I have trust in it now. Thank you for sharing your skill and knowledge it is greatly appreciated.

This guy is awesome. I have done this on 3 hatchets I have worked on for friends and they have loved it. Super unique.

Another great video. I’m finishing up a wooden mallet and wanted to whip the end with a leather wrap, just couldnt recall the little loop trick right at the beginning. Thanks for all the details. You’re right, that’s a wrap!

Thanks so much for this video brother. Been trying to figure out how to do this on my own for a little while unsuccessfully. Ur technique worked perfectly.

Great video! Nice step by step explanation. Thanks Doug!

OK. I love this idea. Great. This morning I started watching more acrylic Pour videos to learn more. I do pours on large rocks from a quarry..Then I found your channel..... 5 hrs later, I think I have nearlly watched all your movies and videos lol..You and your family and friends are beautiful and awesome..To say the least eh. Cant thank you enough for sharing the most magical and awe inspiring life and crafts.Cheers from Australia bush. Hot, 42c and no rain.

Also a handy way to store cordage on a hiking stick. (Without the gluing part.) The wrap is pretty much the same one used to finish the ends of a rope or when making fishing flies.

Best whipping video yet!

Awesome technique Doug. I like the idea of an epoxy soaking through the jute down to the wood. I just got a GB Small Forest Axe and I was wanting a little more meat in the throat. This video was perfect, thanks for taking the time to make it :-)

I’ve referred back to your video a few times over the past couple years, thanks for posting 👍

NICE!! Thanks for the video! I wrapped my gaff with parachord to get a better grip and it was pretty similar to that. I then, just dunked my gaff handle in water, and now it's so tight it won't come off. No glue or anything and has been lasting years and many trips fishing.

This was exactly what I needed to know. Thank you very much for this video. I just aquired a tomahawk hatchet and this is what I needed for my last step.

Never had it in my hands before, but I sure like how it looks. May have to try this sometime. Thanks for the demonstration!

Great How to Video, nice editing and I love the personal comments. Thanks for sharing

I wanna thank you I remember watching this quite some time ago but forgot to save it, in the mean time I have done this a few time thx to your vid.

Simple, easy to do and totally affective! Thank you

Well done, start to finish. Lots of people don't pull the loop in far enough and just rely on burning the end. I pretty much do the same thing on my camp tools - especially the machete. I just bought a Cold Steel tomahawk that'll get the same treatment, but I'll very slightly relieve the wrap area so the head can still slip off over the wrap. Epoxy is a fantastic product.

Thank you for passing on great information.

You answered several questions and well . . . Thank You!

Love it…nice job and nice axe

Great video on how to wrap a axe handle ! Looks great too ! Your buddy Joe liked your comment that's a wrap ha ha ! Thanks again Doug !

Thanks Doug, been wondering how to finish off a bell pull and think I just found it with that epoxy mix you used. Plus I am going to do this to my 3/4 axe. Have learnt many many things from you over the years, thank you.

Just found your video, watched it, loved it, went out and did it myself and it worked awesome ~ thank you Doug! New subscriber here.

Really liked the twine wrap handle. Awesome

I'll admit that I'm not a huge fan of whipping from aesthetic standpoint, but I'm definitely going to try this on my little Husqvarna hatchet. The handle is just a little too smooth for something that is only used with one hand and this could be the perfect fix. Keep those vids coming!

That's a wrap!! Haha you are the man!!! Love the vids buddy keep up the good work

The grips on all my Japanese saws were too smooth for my taste so I used your method with jute and wrapped them but did not use epoxy. That was just after you first posted this video and my wrapped handles are still perfect. Thanks.

Burning off the jute 'fuzzies' is a nice touch. The traditional Japanese way is to crumple up some dried horsetails (Equisetum) to use as 'sandpaper' and then saturate with lacquer as 'epoxy'. If you sand the handle area, the W.ood E.poxy S.aturation T.echnique will bond with the wood fibers and the wrap will be one with the handle. Great video.

Your method reminds me of how west coast rod builders apply Tuna chord to the rods. Because they finish it with the epoxy or whatever it's all at the end to make it one with the rod too.

Great... its 1053 pm and now I'm not going to bed for like 5hours while I try this and dive deep into the videos after this3🙄😂

Nice video. I have used this method to fix split handles too.

definitely giving this a try. practical and looks good. thanks for the tip.

Very informative. I'm going to try it on an old axe at first but I'm very curious to see how it works out.

Very good and informative video!! Thank you

Very helpful video thanks for posting 👍

Good video. Like the last bit. That's a wrap.

I did something similar on an engineers and a framing hammer, but used shellac. Cheaper than epoxy and smells nice, but im sure is not nearly as durable. I guess I used cockscoaming instead of the whipping, and it came out a little wonky. The whipping is much more straightforward. Great video, and I enjoyed the cricket.

wrapped my first handle doing this kind of a hybrid tommy hawk it works great

I just tried this on an old cheap hatchet. I put too much epoxy on there, but after sanding down, it turned out just right. Thanks.

Awesome video man. Thanks for sharing!

SIDE NOTE: My hatchet handle is steel and I used a leather bind, so it took a few tries to get the correct tension at the loop so I could pull it thru and down without snapping the leather, but again, worked PERFECTLY.

I applied that type of whip on my walking cane, works great.

That's very punny, Doug....I like it....Merry Ann from Minnesota

I luv it 👍🏻👍🏻

very informative - thanks!

Nice. Thanks.
