I really enjoy when you say "God Bless you and your families." Even though I wouldn't say I am super religious it brings so much joy to hear that you care about us so much that you wish your god treats us well. Thank you Cody.. Much love.
Hi Cody. The best part of the video is seeing your Grand Father. Just looking at him you can tell he was loaded up with a great deal of knowledge. Those precious memories will stay with you and your beautiful family forever. Regards from Western Australia.

True that! While my income as a dad/husband pays bills, my wife works so hard at home: homeschooling 4 kids, gardening, canning, selling homemade jewelry and crafts (for “mad money”), and so much more. She is the love of my life and my best friend. Husbands, remind your wife OFTEN how thankful you are for her and always kiss her goodnight.

Coming from someone that lives in a city in the UK. We literally live in different worlds. Seeing the way you guys are is like a ray of light. Love to you & your family.
Cody, I know what you'll say if you read this. But you need to know. You are an inspiration to all of us Dads. I watch you and sometimes I'm reminded where I could do better. Thank you Cody.
I ordered 2 of those books "Don'ts For Husbands." One for me, married 34 yrs, one for our 33 year old son, who's been married 3 yrs. Thank you WS. You are a blessing to me.
Just restored my granddad’s Hults Bruk hatchet this Christmas using one of his old axe handles for the new handle ( idea I got from watching your videos). Your kindness to share your knowledge of antique tools and how to care for them properly is much appreciated. Watching your videos has inspired me to care for my grandad’s old tools so that they will last for generations. Thanks for providing such wonderful content!
so nice to see your grand father my grand father passed away at the wonderfull age of 97 . we still miss him that was 50 years ago . great to see you grand father thank you for sharing. i hope they are still keeping watch over us and hopefully. proud of us an laugh when i fumble .god bless thank you for sharing
I will say this, Cody, I've been watching your videos for a very long time and though you've been a little hard on Jack in the past, it was always with good reason to teach him an important lesson. The fact that you put effort into making sure everyone in your family feels special and loved, including you taking an interest in their hobbies whether or not it's something you may not initially enjoy, you do it anyway to have that special time with your family. I love that you are the sort of person that, at the end of your life, you're not going to look back and say "I wish I had spent more time with my family" or "I wish I had taken more of an interest in the things they enjoy"
That manly manners reminds me of a few weeks after we got our puppy, my wife told some friends, "yeah, I could still give him away..." I was SHOCKED! I jokingly told those friends that if I had to choose between my wife and the pup, it would be a tough call. I get home from work and she says hi. But the dog... the dog is so full of excitement, praise and adoration there is NO DOUBT he is thrilled to see me. How much greater could our relationships be if we applied that simple lesson from a dog.
When my grandparents came to Oregon in the 1920’s with two teen age daughters, desperately trying to find a new home after losing everything in the Farm Depression in the teens, he fed the family cutting cords of specifically sized stove wood for $1.00 a cord in the woods around Boring, Oregon (real name).

Wow, that’s only like $15 in todays time
I appreciate your craftsmanship, Cody, but I also appreciate your words of support and the extra, family-focused content and sharing in your videos. Keep it up!
As a full time stay at home dad and homeschooler for my sons I can attest that it is one of the most demanding tasks Ive ever undertaken. Can’t wait to follow this build series!
Great manly manners! It is so true; the #1 thing I miss from my boys being little is how excited they used to be when I got home. Made me know what it is like to be a hero, and I still try to do the same for my family members. Thanks for sharing!
Why would anyone unlike this video, such a great man. A real actual Man, its hard to come by this kind of honest hard working caring man in these unfortunate times in this beautiful country.
The manly manners are on point. I like the self betterment tips, God bless you sir. I hope you and your family are doing well.
The small tribute to your grandfather at the end was touching... it's cool to see his legacy live on. Looking forward to the restoration.
My grandpa’s friend did forestry work (around the depression I think), and what you said about how much foresters cared about sharp tools is absolutely true. He told me that his camp had “the file man” who was responsible (with his apprentice) for keeping all the saws and axes sharp. He said that if the file man didn’t like someone, they got fired, if someone crossed the file man and any of the foresters knew about it, they would get together and “introduce him to their sh*t-kickers” aka their logging boots. The two people you kept happy were the file man and the cook, but the file man came first cause you could work hungry, but you couldn’t work dull.
This is old school wranglerstar content right here. This was also the reason I've ended up restoring and collecting vintage wetterlings and mixture of new/old HB and GB axes. They are superb functional tools.
The video at the end really struck a cord with me. Thanks for doing this for your grandfather. I can only hope, one day when I’m going, my kids and their kids will carry on all I’ve learned. I hope they’ll remember who I was and what I did. In many ways I think we all just want to be remembered. Thanks Wranglerstar.
Would give 2 likes if I could. Classic Wranglerstar. Beautiful video. The reasons why we’re all still here.
Thanks for sharing. I didn't get to know my grandfathers, and only have a couple of memories of them. Treasure the legacy you received!
This manly manners is especially meaningful. I've seen this firsthand with my girlfriend, but never realized it. Definitely making more of an effort from now on.
I really believe in what your saying about supporting your children. My daughter ran for city royalty. It was a 8-12 week long process and she had to get to certain milestones in this leadership course. we are First Nations and it very difficult for fist nations to do things like this in a small city but she did it anyways and I'm so proud of her. My daughter didn't make it as the city royalty sadly. But her whole family was there to support her in this final event. anyway her grandmother her mother her uncles aunts myself all her siblings and when she didn't get picked we still cheered for her it was a great event and she wasn't sad at all. She learned alot of leadership skills during the process.
Cor that final scene with your grandad gave me a lump in my throat there, my grandpaw made me so many things when I was little from chairs and stools with my name carved or branded on them. He passed when I was still little but I now have his workbench and tools at home. Prize possessions for sure! God Bless.
When I was in the US Navy my ship made two 8 month cruises to the Western Pacific. (Not an unusual thing for many of our ships.) And when we returned, the Navy did some nice things to welcome us back. Including notifying the crowd of family and friends who came to the dock to welcome us home. The first time, my family was late. (Dad would have had a LOT to say if it was someone else! But he was the driver.) The second time they never even showed up! So it is little things that can make your family life sweeter.
God bless you and yours Cody. Beautiful artifacts of an age gone by. I can’t think of a better steward then yourself to preserve and cherish these wonders of Man. 🙏🏻🇺🇸
God bless you and yours Mr W. Thank you for being such a good example of strong values. I'm looking forward to your Granddad's axe restoration. I'm sure he would approve.
Always say I LOVE YOU when you leave or come home . Never know if it's the last time you see him/her .
I can relate to this manly manners!! I always meet my lady at the door, it hurts when she just opens the door and walks away when I get home ☹️ but she's a harder faced woman than most and shows her love in different ways, just wish she would seem happier when I get home
Yes, I'm up for another Wranglerstar axe restoration video series. It's so cool that you have those axes from your grandfather. I have some tools that belonged to my father, grandfather, and even great-grandfather. You might even inspire me to restore one of my old double bit access. Not as special as yours, but I have a Plumb, Collins, and one simply stamped USA. Cheers.
That's a beautiful family relic to have and pass down for generations more. I have a few things from my grandfathers that are absolutely prized possessions. Cheers
There is a motivational poster about learning the best things from your dog, top one is drop whatever you are doing when someone comes home and greet them warmly !
every video i watch of wranglerstar's reminds me so much of my dad.
Ahh a restoration from start to finish, mana from heaven.. Love this type of content and a overdue return to the KZread gold of manly matters👍

Will have to get a copy of manly manners, but I remember being taught, that a lady never walks next to the curb, always hold the door, and ladies first, and many more actions for a gentleman to take for a lady, but for the 2 most important ladies, Mother & wife, they should never have to remind you about proper actions! But then again, I came from a generation that holding a girls hand was improper, especially if you were in early teenage years, but later on it was okay to interlock elbows! After marriage you could interlock even more, what ever happened to the good ol’ days!
I havnt looked forward to a series this much in a while,looking forward to seeing the end product
Amazing a piece of history. That's the best advise I've heard to treat all the people in the family to feel important. Great advice. God bless you and your wisdom
I’m thrilled about this video series. I’m currently starting on one of these myself
Very cool showing your grand dad in the video. We all can’t wait to see the finished product.
After WWII, my dad was an outfitter for people working in the bush in northwest Canada. Everybody from trappers, prospectors, suveyors, forestry workers. . . and outfitting all the gear and supplies to be dropped off with a crew, or even one man, by a Beaver or Norseman float plane on some isolated lake or river. Sometimes it would be a package for 2-3 weeks, other times months. Anyhow, to make a long story shorter, he carried these axes, and others from the same maker in Sweden. There were several sizes and profiles - I wish I'd been able to keep one of each. However, I saved a few - one a slightly larger double-bitted axe, another a single blade falling axe, and a small axe, (we always called it the "kindling axe") with a head not much bigger than a hatchet. My dad had been a night fight pilot in the RCAF, but before and after the war worked in the bush himself, before realizing there was a real demand for a supplier of good-quality gear. He also carried quite a variety of Optimus and Primus stoves and lights, and tents, canvas, and the thousand and one other things needed. There were few or no roads in most areas, so getting in and out was either by bush plane or, in the winter, by dog team and sled and snowshoes. It was rare that an outfit didn't have at least one canoe. He died over 30 years ago, but I remember the "Alladdin's Cave" that was the "sample room" attached to the warehouse. So, seeing that particular axe was a little trip down memory lane. I don't use the double-bitted axe too often for my own camping, so much of the original paint is still on it. Those are wonderful tools, and I'm glad you're restoring and preserving it.
Who could put a thumbs down on this? Awesome video Mr W! I have my Grand Dads axe. A well worn Michigan double bit, I found it with a broken handle when I was 14ish Grandma let me have it. I went through several handles learning how to use it and how to properly haft it. This brought back good memories, Thank You
I love the manly manners!! They’re always a favorite of mine. They’re usually so important that I’ll forget what the video was about after them.
Thanks for the great video Mr. W. I found a US plumb hatchet head that I have put a bit of time into restoring. The handle I made for it is not very comfortable, but I guess that means I get to try again! I’m not sure about the history of the hatchet, but I will try that ring test when I take the handle off.
I am sure that your grandfather would be proud of the man you've become, the family you and your lovely wife are raising, and of the homage and respect you give to everyone and everything around you, on God's good earth. Your actions and life reflect well on him and on your upbringing, what could make a man prouder?
Cody I love when you do this ,that last five minutes sitting by the wood stove giving us all here life lessons,it's very homely and just nice ,kind of like we are all your family gathered round listening to you.
Great episode - I love that you were able to find your Grandad's axes. I know how much that would mean to me. Your words of encouragement were so meaningful and brought back great memories. Thank you for everything you do. I am looking forward to your continuing series on the restoration of that special axe. Paul from Texas
Thank you for bringing back the "Manly Manners" book read. I do really enjoy it.
Just started my second attempt at my first axe handle.

I’m also carving out a new handle, fora single bit axe, however I’m not using hickory or ash, nor am I using a store bought handle, I have 5 pieces of trunk wood, locust, maple, yellow birch, walnut, and a hunk of Hawthorne, all of these woods have been traditionally used in different parts of the world for tool handles. Being that I am carving my handles with traditional tools, draw knife, spoke shave, and a pocket knife, I will have a better fit if I take my time. After hanging the axe head, they will be wedged with wood glue, set aside for a week then soaked in linseed oil, I refuse to lacquer tool handles, for my axes will be used, not hung on a wall!

Wow its so nice to see another one... I picked up one from a local auction last year for $25. Mine is identical to it (even the painted spots are similar lol) and still has the handle (the handle has quite a twist so it will have to be replaced). Looks like you went into my basement and grabbed mine. I can hardly wait until the restoration is done so I can see what mine will look like some day. Great videos man, I'm big fan.
I always love to hear the stories you tell about your Grandfather. You put a lot of heart and care into your restorations, and I have no doubt that your restoration of this axe is going to yield fantastic results; it might take favor over your Sager Chemical as being a prized possession. The real question I have is "Are you going to use it after the restoration?" P.S. awesome choice of outro music by Mr. Hutchinson, beautiful cover!
I have that exact Swedish axe too and I'm from Canada mine is missing the blue paint though but you can clearly see the stamp and it's in good condition found it in the scrap yard.
Granddad (yours) has been an inspiration to me in much the same way he was to you after hearing all the comments and stories about him. Men like that are scarce.
Listen to the Axe ring as he set it down at the beginning! That’s quality
I really like the evaporust stuff, it works quite well.
Ooooo a new axe video. I haven’t clicked that fast in a long time. And to top it off we get to hear more about grandad. I love hearing you talking about him.
That's a sign of a healthy marriage- when Mrs. W didn't greet you as she normally would, and you were able to communicate your needs to her. The manly manners segments are always top notch Cody, thanks.
Love seeing the videos of your grandpa. I miss mine and really wish I would have got to have him longer then the 18 years that I did. So much knowledge of his I was unable to acquire. God had a different plan though.
It's a beautiful passion project Cody. Great work.
Always on call for a Wranglerstar video. Love story's about your grandfather! Great man .
I can’t speak for the axe because I have never used one but I have much experience with husband and family. I love how my husband treated me like a princess and he was always a gentleman who lavish me with love. Now that he is unable to do these things my memory bank is full of his way of being a better than good. I have enough to last a lifetime.
Neat, neat, neat video Cody. A lot of classic Wranglerstar elements rolled-in. Looking-forward to the rest of the axe series.
You continue to show me a life I’ve never experienced. Thank you so much for your work it truly adds to my enjoyment of this world. God Bless you and your family.
I've just started on a single bit, a hatchet, a maul and a pick as my winter projects. I do a few every year when hours at my regular job start to get sparse.
You’re a good man. Thanks for the wisdom and tribute.
Just found you & your videos they are inspiring to me in the fact that while being a master of some incredible skills you have a soul and a profound sense of family I find this refreshing in these trying times thank you !!!

That's a beautiful piece. That color looks like a great match. Thanks for sharing!
I’d call that Petty blue.
I first started watching your channel when you were building the cabin with your Granddad. That was right after I lost my Grandfather. It was sad to see you guys end that project.
I have that same axe head! I found it in the bottom of a bargain bin at an local used good store! $15 bucks and I found a true diamond in the rough!!
Man! I respect that man! He has so much to give. Wow.
I have a similar story. The last time I saw my great grandfather alive I found an old axe head that he broke the handle and used it as a wedge instead of rehandleing it. I was forced to take off the patina to re-bend it to shape and I hate myself for it.
Im so happy you made this video. I resently aquired this same axe from an unkle who passed. With the blue paint. Its in great condition. I cant wait to see the final outcome for this doible bit axe. Your videos are a constant insperation. Thanks.
I wish we could all have the same family values as yours. It would do so much to improve the lives of future generations
Looking forward to this restoration!
From manly manners on you spoke so much truth!
Great to hear manley manners again....also great to find gran dads axe heads
WOW, that’s cool and then you add Granddads heritage... WOW Look forward to the restoration, process.
Your brand of inspiration is always just right. Thank you again.
Those HB axes are really good, I dont have any double bits by them, but the lite weight carpentry axes are excellent. You can spot that Chrysler Blue Engine paint a mile away! (smart color choice for bush work)
What a beautiful blue as well
BEAUTIFUL.
Oh man, I needed that paint. I recently finished restoring my granddad's HB small hatchet axe. I ended up using liquid gun blue, because I didn't have any blue paint. I should've gone to the paint store.
Classic wranglerstar! Love and respect are the epitome of what you do.
Good manly manners quote
Nothing like a fine piece of Hickory for a handle...great video so far...looking forward to the handle and steel marriage...
Greetings from Brisbane, Australia. 35 deg C here today. I wouldn't mind betting that the blue on that axe head is the same as the blue on the Swedish flag.
In 94 I worked in a paint store and matched paint by eye. We did get a computer matcher but it wasn’t as good as I could do, but for 99% of the customers they didn’t care as much as I did. Suppose that’s unwarranted pride in nonsense.
