In this video I restore a very old hewing axe, and in my newest video I restore a cracked axe using brass: kzread.info/dash/bejne/oJiAo6Vtl5aWqLg.html

The axe has a bevel on one side for hewing wood you’re working on rather than chopping into it - the “bent handle” is to keep the user’s knuckles safe while doing so 👍🏻 Excellent restoration, great content, keep it up man!

The handle is curved for the same reason that it’s flat on one side. It’s a hewing axe, for turning logs into beams. Basically let’s you chop a log’s curved side down to a flat surface.

Nice to see this old side axe brought back to life. Enjoyed the video, good idea with the gun blue. Entertained by the steam bending section 🤔 . A norm for tool handles was to keep an eye open for the right shaped branch, cut it green, do the initial de-barking and shaping but leave it oversize to allow for shrinkage, (air ) dry it out slowly over the winter and do the final fit after 6 - 9 months has elapsed. As an apprentice my 80 year old Master Craftsman taught me to look for handles in the hedge or woods before you need them and even wait several seasons until they grew to the right size. I've re-handled multiple Devon shovels over years doing exactly this. Nice job on the wedging bravo 👏

Really enjoy how much work goes into making all these channels. The music, editing, and genuine good vibes leaves me feeling happy!

HEWING AXE! These badboys are all over the place in many different patterns. I restore axes and the bearded HEWING axes like these are some of my favorites. I like to rehang them on longer straight handles and use them for throwing axes, the bits too big to be used in competition but they're really fun for throwing at home with your friends on a cool evening

the axe is straight on one side because it it called a SIDE AXE. It is used to flatten logs to make planks. That is why the handle was bent - to keep the users hand away from the log. This one was for a right-handed person, they also made them for left-handed people.

These videos bring me such a good calm vibe

The shape of the head suggest it's a broad ax for shaping wood. Those typically came in right and left handed versions, so the bent handle may be intentional and not due to warping. The handle design allowed people to work close to the wood and not scrape their knuckles on the logs.

as someone pointed out.. the bend was to provide clearance for your hand when hewing heavy timber faces to make the square.. there's tons of videos on how to do this, showing various techniques.... the handle of a broadaxe like this was typically bent AFTER it was mounted in the axe head itself. by clamping the axe head to some heavy timber, a block placed under the tail of the handle provided the leverage to bend.....tight the clamp down to bend the handle and then let it sit for a couple days....

Incredible work both in front of and behind the camera. Well done.
