    That hole will make it easier to replace the handle, but it will also cause that wood to corrode a lot faster. It also makes the axe weaker. You can't do hard use with it now. Taking weight off the axe would be a plus for travel, but that just means you have to swing it harder.

    I found a really old axe at my great grandmothers place as a kid, (probably 150ish years old judging by the shape) I restored it recently, 20 years later, and the steel it in is just ridiculous....I tried using a file to clean the edge up, the file didnt even scratch it. Old scandinavian steel is just fantastic.

You mentioned several times that you'll link to his channel in the description but you didn't and that would have helped him a lot, since he has a smaller channel than yours. And since videos on youtube make the most of their views in the first few hours/days, I guess it's kind of "late" to add it now. I would still add it since he does cool projects as well. Anyway... you're a rising star on youtube! Keep up the good work. Maybe you can do a Q&A sometime soon :D

    Hi Alex. Maybe this is not the place, but I maybe have an idea for a video you can make. "Ways to use junk pieces of wood and the wood dust" There is some ways to make those trashes valuable. For example - you can use wood dust to absorb liquids on the ground and then sweep it - mix the wood dust with some wax to make solid fire starter If you burn dust or pieces you can also use the ashes to - make soap - use it as fertilizer for plants that need an alkaline ground I'me pretty sure there is plenty of other ways.

They're white, they should work perfectly as nice diffused reflectors. Maybe something like a v shape like this panel panel light panel panel \_r_e_f_l_e_c_t_o_r_/

  • @callindrill
    @callindrill4 жыл бұрын

    The hole is fine. Like you say, just don't strike the back... What I take more of an issue with is the glue in that eye. If you had made the slit longer, you could have just used tension to hold the wedge in, and wouldn't have needed glue. I'm sure it's strong enough to hold as it is, though, and so long as the wedge you put in put pressure on the head, I'm sure it will keep the axe on the handle during normal use.
