I would like to write a poem about the spoon crank, but I can’t find a word to rhyme with orange.

The Spoon Crank. Your 4th prototype axe - what a prize it will make. Very informative, enjoyable and easy to watch video. Looking to try making one myself. Like the idea of transfering some of the process to handle making for other tools. Thanks for taking the time and sharing your skills. Skilled and funny. Slowly moving away from ‘All the gear and nae idea’ and watching your videos helps. One question though, why posters of Arnie? All the best.

The Spoon Crank - this axe looks amazing :)

I am an 83 year old Australian resident in Sweden who enjoys hand woodworking. It is nice to see someone who uses and knows how to use hand tools. No bandsaws or table saws. Thank you for the excellent video.

This is officially my favorite channel

Tack för inspirationen att göra ett nytt skaft :) "The Spoon Crank"

'The Spoon Crank' . It just looks almost too good. Simply beautiful to look at.

The spoon crank I always enjoy how you leave your videos long form instead of cutting away too much and really showing just how much work goes into your craft.

The spoon crank. Thanks for this video. The wood is so important than the steel.

"The spoon crank" Your videos are always very interesting to watch, every time!

Came for The Spoon Crank challenge, stayed for the excellent tutorial, thanks !

The Spoon Crank. Also, I just learned on another channel dedicated to hand crafting tools that you can buy manual bandsaws. They are like hacksaws but with a large arch. Would be a more affordable option than the power tool for anyone wanting to try this project at home. Still, you made this look easy, even doing all that work with the rasp.

The spoon crank. That was a great video. My 11 year old son and I have enjoyed wood working a lot this year. This was a fun video to watch together. I was able to explain some of your techniques to him. That is a great handle and a great hatchet. He now wants to try carving with an axe. Fun for the family. Thank you for sharing your time and skill with us.

"The spoon Crank" it's amazing how the look and feel is getting through the movieclip, and reach out to the People watching your work.

'The Spoon Crank" was my nickname in high school. Joking aside, finally glad to see the carving video you've been wanting to make for a while. I appreciate you showing an alternative for people who may not have some of the bigger machines/tools.

The spoon crank is an interesting Axe. My 5-year-old and I enjoy watching your work

I am a big fan of the spoke shave to remove wood fast and in a more controlled way. Great video

The Spoon Crank. I like the rustic look of the handle.

“The Spoon Crank” 🪓🥄🪵 Awesome video. Handling axes/knives has scared me, but after watching your video I might just give it a try. Thankyou!!

"The Spoon Crank" that was awesome I have tried that myself and can never get the head and handle to line up 100% , but thanks to you, I now know.

The Spoon Crank, I really like the idea of carving a handle for a carving axe, very unique.

"The spoon crank" great tutorial! Sweet looking axe!

"The Spoon Crank" woodworking with hand tools is always satisfying to watch, I really enjoyed watching your videos, thanks :)

"The Spoon Crank" Never knew about heating the oil! Thanks for the tip!

The spoon crank. It's a lovely axe, thanks for the chance to win it.

The spoon crank looks sick!

'The Spoon Crank' Nils, I love how clear that you showed and explained to us!! Support from Hong Kong💪💪

You and The Spoon Crank are making such an awesome axe, being able to win it, unfathomable! 😮😃

"The Spoon Crank" Another great video Nils!

Nils always I always enjoy your videos. I’ve only seen one other KZreadr do the method I use but I feel like it is the way to go. When I’m. Putting the stitch for the wedge I drill a 3mm hole through the handle. I then cut the slot down until it terminates in the hole. This creates a flexure that allows the faces of the handle to rotate and lay flat against the sides of the axe/hammer head. This movement is not trying to split apart the axe handle. The next time if you have a spare handle maybe you could try this without the axe/hammer head to see how the wood moves. I think you might agree. And maybe, use it in a future video. Or not. I be watching anything you do. Beautiful axe head btw.

”The spoon crank”, pure joy for me 🤓🎉

Beautiful work. Cheer from Finland.

" The Spoon Crank" Thank you for yet another great video. I've been looking for something like this! it's safe to say that my first attempt at making a similar handle could've gone a lot better.

Nils the axe handle is awesome. I love the rustic finish of the handle. I always prefer the practical over the pretty. Nice work! "The Spoon Crank" is the angle between the handle and the bowl.

The Spoon Crank. Beautiful handle, really like the shape of the head too!

The Spoon Crank sounds like the title to an old folk tale, somehow. Once again, the art and craftsmanship you are so modest about looks truly amazing. I really can not wait to start trying this myself. My attempt will not look as good as yours.

The Spoon Crank looks very nice. I like the rustic look.

"The spoon crank" I like how you break it down and not only tell what you're doing but why you are doing it. This type of instruction is great for supplying information to those who want to grow their skills.

'The Spoon Crank' Great looking axe as always. thank you for the tutorial.

The spoon crank go hard and i cant wait to watch this video!!

Thank you Nils, now I have a simple and very well described way to make a new handle for an old axe head I have. "The Spoon Crank" 👍

Love this video. It shows how much work we USED to put into making basic tools. Now days they just inject some fiberglass in a mold and make thousands of these a day. Oh, and...Spoon Crank!

The Spoon Crank. Excellent work, clearly explained!

'The Spoon Crank' - Very nice tutorial, thanks!

'The Spoon Crank' Im surprised your channel doesn't have more subscribers! Your videos are fun to watch and have so much information.

The Spoon Crank. Another awesome how to for anyone who doesn’t have certain pieces of equipment, and proof that taking your time yields some amazing results.

The Spoon Crank. Can't get enough of that ad read. Very smooth and persuasive.

The reference to Swedish shows like Pippi Longstocking reminded me of one of my favorite books as a kid: The Tomten, which like Pippi Longstocking was written by Astrid Lindgren. I made sure to buy The Tomten for my son and he loves it. Maybe he’d like Swedish tv too!

Nils, Spoon crank I liked the way you tackled the handle making, not shaping the handle until after you had the head set, i might have to try that. Thank you for taking time to film, edit and post this video.

"The Spoon Crank" that's an easy contest to enter... i love the work that you do Nils, keep the knowledge moving

Can't wait to see what else you do with The Spoon Crank

The Spoon Crank, The patience you demonstrate through carving is admirable. I like how informative your videos are. Looking forward to forging some axes of my own!

The Spoon Crank I love your amazing videos, and I love that you are having fun making axes

Nice to see the handle end of the axe produced without power-tools. (warning re this 'The Spoon Crank ref - I live in the UK, which is a long way to send an axe... : )

Loving the spoon crank project! Have done several axe and hammer handles but haven't used that technique to rough cut the outline.

The Spoon Crank The spoon crank I love these axes so much, theyre so good looking and great quality overall. Love it all again

The spoon crank. Riktigt smart med en fritös till linoljan! :)

The Spoon Crank. This video couldn't have come at a better time. I literally just got back from buying hickory lumber for making handles for the hachets I will forge soon.

I'm a pretty active spoon carver, so The Spoon Crank is just what I've been looking for!

The Spoon Crank Awesome work on bringing a new carving axe to the community! We can't get enough! Especially when they look as good as this one 😁

The Spoon Crank sounds like an awesome addition to a Carving Axe!! Love the handmade portions of all your videos.

The spoon crank looks just great as always!

"The Spoon Crank" Very good information , clear instructions and good camera angles to display the techniques . Thanks for sharing .

"The Spoon Crank" "Thank you very much, Nils, for your great and informative videos. I started forging myself through your videos and I love it. Although I'm still in the experimental phase, I find your videos so interesting because I can learn so much about axe forging. I'll try making an axe next time; so far, I've only made knives. Thank you very much for your videos."

I love the concept behind "The Spoon Crank" - it's so unique!

"The Spoon Crank" is a fascinating project. 👍

The spoon crank. A lot of work and it is a beauty of a handle. Thank you Nils.

"The Spoon Crank" looks amazing. Hand carved look is the best!

"The Spoon Crank" I've always liked the rustic look in wood and leather products. Gives a vintage look.

“The Spoon Crank” sounds like a good name for a Bushcraft tool. Love seeing the custom work done. Thanks!

The spoon crank. I really enjoy it when you use nothing but hand tools. Another great job.

The spoon crank Thanks for the video, I'm always excited going to my workshop after watching your videos.

The Spoon Crank! It's a shame that this video was not release before I tried to make my own axe handle... That would have helped me so much ^^'. Time to make it again with these good tips! I love the rustic style of this one!

The spoon crank! Now I’ve got more KZread content I am aware of, and enjoy! Thank you

"The Spoon Crank" and The Spoon Crank, just in case! Beautiful project and it's certainly knocked down a few of the barriers and fears I had around making my own tool handles.

"The Spoon Crank" thank you for another great tutorial video.

The Spoon Crank are handle was a lot of work with just hand tools. It looks great!

Sir, You have inspired me!!! "The Spoon Crank"

The Spoon Crank looks cool. What I would like different is a single bevel and a better wood for the handle. Over the years I replaced all the handles on my axes and hammers with handmade handles I carved from dogwood (cornus sanguinea) when the ash handles gave up. I did not have to replace even one again. I don't think this grows in Sweden, though, but it's pretty abundant here in southern Germany. A tool I really like for making handles is a spokeshave

Here we go! The Spoon Crank, thanks!

"The Soon Crank" Thank you, Nils. Great video. I have not tried the carved finish and love the idea. I look forward to using that technique.

The spoon crank! I just started axing and I'm loving it. It's opening so much creativity in the spoon carving process for me.

"The Spoon Crank" looks great! I dont think I would modify it at all. Looks Awesome !

"The Spoon Crank" Very nise tools you make! Great tutorial.

This video comes at a good time, my brother and I are planning to make a handle for a axe. The ash wood is seasoned and ready to go. It's a small and old axe head, probably great for cutting the spoon crank.

"The Spoon Crank!!!!" Thank you for your excellent videos!

The Spoon Crank what a wonderful community to be a part of. Cheers to you all!

The Spoon Crank video is just what I need, to make a handle for an old axe head, I received as a gift. Thank you so much.

The spoon crank. Great work. Pleasure to watch.

"The Spoon Crank" You make me miss my job doing customer woodworking and building. I really enjoy watching your videos.

“The Spoon Crank” looks like a great axe handle! Nice to see it done from start to finish.

"The Spoon Crank" Another beautiful axe!

The Spoon Crank. Great work. Also look forward to seeing what you can make with minimal tools. Makes me excited to try new things with limited resources.

Awesome vid Nils! I’ve learned a lot about wood carving and Axe making from both you and the Spoon Crank over the past couple of years, thanks for the great content 🤘

Beautiful work as always, Nils! Your axes have an unmatched beauty in their function-driven artistic lines and finish. I suspect your tools will end up in some museum in the distant future. 😮‍💨👌 The Spoon Crank

The Spoon Crank....Great video, excellent, clear, concise instructions by a guy with great presence

That's awesome work! I've recently started carving my own axe handles from scratch, whereas I've always bought mediocre handles from hardware stores before. This would be so very helpful with that. A beautiful piece of work! The Spoon Crank would be a perfect roughing method for it, and seeing as how sharp you got it, for fine work as well! You're a true inspiration to a lot of us. Wish I'd have found your channel sooner! Cheers from The Netherlands.

The Spoon Crank is honestly one of the most beautiful carving axe i have ever seen! Can't Tell you enough how much i would love this excellent looking tool for beginning to start carving bigger things. Beautiful work, as always Sir. God bless you ❤🙏🏼

The Spoon Crank recommended I watch this video and found it most helpful. Being able to do the job using everyday tools is ideal. A great tip to fit the head first so one can adjust the centre.... along with making and fitting the wedge as fearful of splitting the handle I have made mine too small in the past. All in all a great help and I can't wait to get cracking on making a replacement handle my self! Thank you Nils... PS I have ended up looking at Surfshark too, not what I expected but very helpful!

Enjoyed this, Nils. My old man was a really talented woodcarver, and he always recommended wetting the carved surface as the water made any damage (say from the vise or whatever) visible. Once it's dry again you can then sand or remove any of the imperfections. "The Spoon Crank"

"The Spoon Crank" shows how its done. I really enjoy seeing your work on IG and now here on YT. I admit I am really intrested in this beautiful axe/hatchet and really hope I manage to win. Have a grewt day and keep up the good work

The spoon crank. Lovely handle, about time i made one for the vintage axe head i have!
