Nicely done. I'm a man of a certain age & have been refurbishing axes, knives & sharp edged tools for decades. Just a helpful suggestion. A lanyard on a axe is to hang the tool so you don't lose it. By making the loop big enough to fit around your wrist, you are asking for a world of hurt or serious injury a worst. A missed swing, canted blow or otherwise can easily peal the skin from your wrist or severely break your hand or wrist. just make the lanyard big enough to hang the axe so you know where you left it, or to make it easier to spot if you drop it in the woods. Again, nicely done, all the best in your future endeavours.

I was wondering about that... I didn't think it was safe to have it tethered to your hand either. Mine all have a small loop for the purpose you stated. Have a great day sir.

If anyone is wondering how good these actually are, I had an axe throwing business for a short while, and we used these, and they held up great! They do need a bit of reprofiling of the blade and good sharpening to make it stick, but they lasted more than 6 months until the handles started breaking down.

@lanemartin5446

Agreed. Just check the grain orientation of the handle before you leave the store with it. That goes for any store. Some hatchets/axes are hung properly, and some are just wrong.

I also saw his video on the hatchet, and went out and got one. Thanks for some inspiration on how to dress it up

That is awesome!!!

You have a gift, great talent. I enjoyed this episode. Thank you for sharing with us. Looking forward to more.

That is my next rainy day project. Thank you!

WOW, turned that $20 axe into a $100 axe! Very nicely done! I would get a wooden case and put it in there and hang it! Love what you do!

no, he took a $12 dollar axe and made it look nice enough to hang on a wall. It's not any more useful, in fact I saw some discoloration on the steel that tells me he made it even LESS useful, but damn it looks good.

Good job on the hatchet. Bravo and congratulations on the outcome.

First time I watched Cody's video on this axe I went down and bought it...and it's sat in my toolbox now for about 6 months. Thanks for the upgrade ideas, I'm digging it out tonight!

Looks great! Tip: Don't dispose of the rags you used with the boiled linseed oil in a 'wadded up' state. The BLO heats as it dries. I've come down the next day and found paper towels that were charred and crispy. Almost caused a fire...

I would like to see you do things like this in the future for sure! I just bought my first home, and am on a budget. So upgrading from cheep tools is right up my alley! Plus I love to craft so this is a great combo! Please make more videos detailing DIY on the cheep.

Sweet! Yes, I think all of us here can agree, we need another video like this!

This was a ton of fun to watch, love the editing, and the design for the hatchet is sweet. You've gained a loyal subscriber! It's funny, I've actually been seeing your thumbnails on my youtube feed for a while and hadn't clicked on any - this one grabbed me, and then I watched four more!

I've been keeping one of those cheap axes in my truck for about 2 years. Every once in a while I watch one of these diy videos and they just seemed really unrealistic...but, I'm actually going do this one. Nice job bro 👍

Came here via a suggestion after watching Wranglerstar - really enjoyed your take on the camp axe from HF - even two years later, you're earning new subs! Looking forward to getting caught up on your content!

Great job brother! That's some nice juice for the squeeze 👍

Wow, that turned out great! Fun to watch too.

Looks very nice Cody…. Picking up one of those axes myself this week. Great job sir!

Incredible job on the axe.

It looks lovely

I’ve just recently started putting together a “bug out” or “go bag” and have been considering several different axes for cutting kindling or use as a mele weapon etc. All of the axes I’ve looked into recently are $50 or more, which defeats the purpose of building a cheap but effective kit. I’m on KZread everyday, and with this in the back of my mind, I run across Wranglerstar and now your content, and I’m like “damm, exactly what I’m looking for. A cheap, modifiable, but effective piece of equipment”. Thank you for the eye opening epiphany. I will definitely be visiting harbor freight tomorrow.

Yes I bought a HF axe, some cheap tools and boiled linseed oil after watching the WS video. Love your modifications, great video! May have to pick up another!

Nice job. Looks great.

Nice work. I prefer a double bladed axe. Love your channel. It would be cool to see you do a double blade version on a video

I noticed a life insurance commercial pop up before this video. It's like "Ladies, if your husband is like this guy, you might want to buy life insurance on him." Seriously, most of my knife making tools came from Harbor Freight. I have that exact same belt sander. I tossed that clear plastic cap on top of the wheel because it works well for getting into grooves or curves into the handles. I also use it to sharpen knives because it is easy. Put a 600 grit belt on it and it will shave hair. Never used boiled linseed oil, but I really like Tung oil. It does pretty much the same thing, but gives the wood a warmer look. Now take that awesome ace and go bury it in the hearts of your enemies. And by enemies, I mean logs, limbs, etc. Keep the content coming.

Super cool man, thanks for sharing

Nice job!

The harbor freight axe works great from the store but the real sell is that they give you enough material to really make it your own and modify to your own liking

Great video… Magic Man. Shake & Bake. 😝

Very cool!! My wife needs a "fighting axe" for her GameCon regalia. Your vid makes this part (which I'll do for her), look fairly easy. I'll prob attempt to do some of the designing (on the metal), with a dremel and try work in something "tribal"......Thanks for the great vid!! I'll subscribe!! Thanks again!! Michael
