@@wranglerstar brother can you tell me what is that white handle knife ? I love that shape of it.

Wranglerstar would you consider a stihl 028 a good first gas chainsaw for firewood cutting in the northeast?

this series has a great Bob Ross kind of relaxing feel to it.

Finally, I've been keeping up with this project and have to say I loved watching you restore the axe and it has to be my favorite video series on your channel. Keep up the great work Cody !

I learned from my parents' furniture refinishing that a piece of broken glass also works great in lieu of a card-scraper, used the same way. Also great for removing old paint, varnish and patina from old and abused furniture.

yes,....but if you don't have a scraper, use an an ordinary razor blade instead of glass.

honestly i could listen to Cody talk about wood working and axes and knives for hours. You got a real good way conveying what you mean without sounding too robotic and boring. its the very human and relatable way you describe everything is really nice and comforting.

Great job on the little axe, I must say this video series has inspired me to restore an old axe of mine that is very special, it was given to me when I was 6(37 now) by my grandpa, still has the original handle. Your videos are very informative and detailed and look forward to watching future projects, god bless from Nova Scotia Canada

It warms my heart to see the love that you and your wife have for one another. It really brightens my day.

Since starting to watch this particular series, I have mentioned spokeshaves around 450% more often then before.

I have started using it in my everyday life. I told my barber to spokeshave a little off the side and leave the top not too short.

Love the finished product. Great job, really enjoyed this series! Also, congratulations on surpassing 400,000 subscribers!

Thanks to these axe videos I'm out in the garage fixing stuff that needs fixing. Good motivation and a 20 minute companion while I work. I enjoy your way of working and doing things right. 'Well, what's wrong with that?'

I hate that people complained about the way these videos in this series were made. Well-made videos by someone who cares about what they're doing. Keep up the great work, Cody.

Thank you for sharing this series and well done on an excellent result. It has been very entertaining to watch and I for one certainly don't mind it being drawn out over several videos. The joy is in seeing the process as much as the finished article. I'd quite like to see the final sharpening process for that matter... :)

Yay! Great series. Your style puts me right in the woodshop with you. Thanks for letting us in.

To Gerber: Your competition has outclassed you with quality products, better designs that hold up over time, and quality control standards that you can't seem to touch. You use plastic bushings in your folding knives, super glue to hold your fixed blade knife handles together, and mystery steels that you refuse to name. When will you understand that a products reputation is in it's material and build quality and not it's marketing department? What plans do you have to change this?

Be careful working with super sharp kindling splitters, almost lost the tip of my thumb a few years back because I didn't note the grain turned at the bottom and the head followed the grain right into my thumb. The local clinic was closed because it was a weekend and the nearest emergency room was an hour away. Luckily in Alaska there is usually a med kit a few feet away in every house so I saved it. So for anyone watching the intro, just tap the blade lightly against the piece to stick it and then bring the axe and piece together down to split it. Its much safer than leaving your fingers below the blade.

This was such a great series. The finale was just as satisfying to watch as I'm sure it was to have in hand.

This series has been an absolute joy to learn from!

Well done Cody. It's amazing how even years later, you can't quite achieve the eloquence in discussing makers marks as you did with that shovel restoration video. That remains among my all time favorites, and don't stop preaching it! Men, stand by your work!

I've been watching this channel for a while now. At first, I thought it was okay. Now it gives me a warm fuzzy feeling. I love this channel, good work.

looks great! best of luck Mrs.W!!!! i hope you make it to the marathon. .. i live in Boston and wiuld love to meet both of you if you have a neet and greet. thanks. best of luck again!

Really enjoying the quadcopter video. Makes a very interesting addition to your video productions. Your calm voiceovers during the end cards are great!

What a fantastic series of videos. I watched them all in series tonight. God Bless you and your family.

Great series, love the way you are so passionate about your work , around here we call it "being solid people"

Thanks for the series. One of my favourites so far. Also, the ariel footage on the end card is great too. Cheers!

I was in Duluth Minnesota this last weekend. While there I walked through a few antique shops looking for old carpentry tools. One store had two of these axes. A small one and one slightly larger. $185 on the small one and $160 one the larger one. Both had the brass gaurds.

Outstanding Cody, a very enjoyable series, thank you.

Lovely work! reminds me a lot of the outdoor axe from Gränsfors bruk. which is my absolute favorite axe.

Cody your channel, that I am subscribed to is the only one; that always brings a smile to my face.

I have an axe head in our well house I need to work on and restore. these videos have inspired me to try and do it myself.

nice work cody...thanks for sharing. appreciate your book as well. great content.

Great little axe. You have talked me into getting a Phantom 4. I have been saving for a year to get the Phantom 3 and now its well worth getting the 4. Mrs W is booking it! I might could keep up for 1/2 mile. haha

Very nice. I always appreciate understanding the practical reasons for design features. Thanks.

Thanks for such a great series! Looking forward to more!

You did a really great job on the restoration and the video series.

Loved the series great to watch the axe slowly come back to life. Keep up the awsome videos.

I love the Hamilton Khaki Mechanical watch! I have the same exact watch and never fully noticed until these close-up shots of your hands. I stopped wearing it because the strap wore out and looks terrible. Your replacement strap is a good match. Thanks for the videos! Nice job on the axe restoration.

Really enjoyed that series of videos. Loved the slow pace. Loved the axe. Looked great

I've enjoyed this series of videos. I've learned a lot and have a greater appreciation of my dad and his amazing shop. Gone two years now.

Wow Cody, that little axe sure looks good. Thanks for sharing. Mrs W all the best with the training. You are looking super relaxed on that run.

Congrats on 400k! Very talented and amazing work, love watching! keep it up!

Thank you for the very interesting educating video about shaping the lower part of the handle to prevent accidents! I never heard of that, but it makes so much sense!

Really loved watching these videos. It's really nice to just sit back and relax with some of your videos, many thanks and keep up the awesome work

Awesome video series. did you make a second handle. I thought I saw another one in the work bench

Great series Cody - thanks for sharing. What is your interpretation of an axe versus a hatchet? (I am not familiar with the technical difference)

Man I'm proud of you Cody. You really made a work of art out of your grand dad's handle!!

Nice work done in your videos, learned a lot. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Cody, Thanks for explaining your makers mark, until then I had no really looked at it and thought it was a maple leaf you had chosen. after you explained that it was a star with a "W" it makes so much more sense now. Great video as always.

great job, Cody. I have never thought of scraping. I have always sanded. Good hint!

I loved the footage from the drone cam! Beautiful!

I've enjoyed this series very much. It's nice to see craftsmanship on even the smallest items.

Hey Cody. Great axe. What a gem. Was wondering, do you have a video on how you made your makers mark?

Love watching this channel when I can't sleep. As soon as I watch 30 seconds of it, it puts me out like a tranquilizer!!!

My son has been really enjoying watching Jack's videos. It's really nice to know that I can let him watch in full confidence that the content is appropriate. Thank you.

Instead of a card scraper you can use a broken glass. It works really well.

Awesome Series...! Keep up the great work. Nick.

I really enjoyed this series. You've inspired me to hang my grandfather's double bit cruiser. It's been sitting on a shelf since we lost him 26 years ago. I can't wait to surprise my father with it. Thank you.

it's a pleasure to watch and for those who can't wait and want the fast forward approach....well that's not how life works...thanks for the time ...

WoW, what a beautiful place you all live in. Im loving the aerial views your giving us.

I've followed these videos from the start and all I've got to say is WOW its amazing well done cody!!

This one I liked even before watching, and again I learned something new about ax handle design at around 6:00 . There's a Dutch proverb: "An accident sits in a small corner", and that's so true for the end of the ax. Well done, Cody, I enjoyed this little series so much.

Seems like you handle your DJI like a boss. So entertaining to see your wife and dog running under this odd angle. Also feels a bit naughty; spying on your wife using a drone. :P

Hope to see you in Boston! Looking at Mrs. W's trail, I bet she'll have no problem with Heartbreak Hill (but if she wants the practice, while I have no personal experience, my friends who've done it say plan your last three miles as mostly downhill, mostly uphill, then cooldown respectively: the problem with HBH isn't so much the 3.3% grade at 22mi, it's the gear change from having run a few major downhill portions just before). Good luck, I'll be cheering you on from the comfort of my couch. (Although some of my ham friends will be working emergency services and support).

Stumbled on this quite by accident and this was a really pleasant watch, thanks!

Some people say your videos are too long or drawn out but I typically watch you tube while I'm folding laundry and I can't watch the fast forwarded videos (of which I'm also guilty of) at that time. If I look down at my folding I miss what happened but not on your videos. They are also long enough to get me through all my folding so keep up the great videos and do them your own way, thanks.

I agree. i can be working on a project and in joy the clips at the same time.

Great, I really enjoy watching your videos. You love to do a lot of your work almost completely by hand without and power tools. That is almost a lost art these days. Thanks, and keep the videos coming.

Congratulations on 400 thousand subscribers keep doing what your doing Cody :)

What a beautiful work of art. Thank you for sharing it with us.

i love this axe. job well done! i think the best part is that you put a lot of work into such a beautiful tool which makes it all the more precious for you. i hope you get a lifetime of enjoyment out of it and keep up the good work.

The Scandi grind on that knife is something of beauty.

Beautiful work cody, these are the finer things in life. Thanks for your quality channel!

Instead of using the edge of your knife to scrape you can use the 90deg angle on the back, works just as good, but doesn't dull your knife. Great video!

Sanding wood can "braid" or "tangle"the fibers and let moisture get into the wood making it rot faster. Scraping "combs" the wood fibers smooth and thus keeps the water out.

Where do you get your music? It's so calming and fits your channel really well!

I enjoy the mini series videos, it gives me something to look forward to helping me unwind after a day's work whether it be at the saw mill or building fence. I think many of us would enjoy a sharpening video.

The drone just leaves me mind blown... The technology is unreal being you can set at home and fly that little thing miles from home with that good of video quality even...

could you ask about high quality steel that holds a good edge please!! anything ive had from gerber is dull after a days use!! thanks:)

Cool little axe Cody and a fun series.Glad to see you finally got the hang of flying that copter.How many did you end up losing, my last count was 2.In my mind I was telling you to keep it in close till you got complete control of it and how to keep track of it in the sky. It isn't as easy as it looks.Watching Mrs. W run was cool too and the dog didn't leave her for anything! Good dog!Looking forward to more copter videos. Beautiful country there.Gabby

It's nice to see the pride you have when you're done with one of your project! Even if you take one month to realise it. You have done a really great job on that one! You also make really good quality video. Continue on that way!

Loved the Axe series! Thanks!

Awesome videos. Love the work and detail. NOW, tell us how many man hours went into this little axe?

What is that wrist watch and band you are using? Looks really nice and durable! Great job on the axe!

Wow nice work sir bet Grandad looking down with a big smile on this face well done

I want 5 more videos!! :D I like the stories & the journey just as much as the final result.

Hey, id like to ask you advice about an axe. I have a small Hultafors hatchet (NOT the premium version) that i can never get sharp, never stays sharp, and just doesnt cut well. I use the x5 fiskars for making spoons because it is lightweight and it seems o cut quite well, and it isn't more than a $100 compared to the hultafors premium hatchet or grandsfors bruk hand axe. My problem is that thehulatfors just doesnt seem to cut deep into the wood im using, whereas the fiskars does. Because of that, i also feel tired when i use my hultafors and it gets a little dangerous because i have to swing harder to make the cut to make the sppon, and sometimes i get really close to my fingers which i dont really like. Do i need to reprofile the axe? What can I do to make it better?

Great mini-series! Thank you

Dang you got to go to Gerber! Man there is a lot of questions I would like to have asked... Guess that is one more for my bucket list to go and see. i I'm jealous!! on to that video of yours.

great video Cody hope to see more. Does anyone know where I could get a makers mark made?

wonderful drone footage... just amazing.

That drone is amazing ! It would be great for security on the homestead, or when Mrs. W is out running, watching for forest fires, tracking animals, checking storm damage to the roofs of your buildings,... Gerber has had some good products, their multitools are right up there with Leatherman, but many of their offerings have been disappointing, starting with the Bear Grylls knife that broke the first time I hammered tent pegs with it. The StrongArm knife is good, but not a lot of exciting designs, and the quality seems lacking, they just don't 'feel good'. The blades don't sharpen well, or hold and edge well. Quality, strength need to be first, not price...there's a ton of cheap stuff around. Maybe take a look at how Schrade has been doing it the last couple years, not the cheapest, not the most high end, good quality, good steel, good designs for the money. Great customer service, listening to what customers want, and not resting on a couple products, continuing to improve everything.

Trail running is one of the best ways to train, Mrs. W is sure to be ready for Boston

I imagine there are some good size hills in your area to practice on for Boston keep up the good work Mrs. W

Good job! As far as questions for Gerber, Do they use a graduated tempering technique and if so which one. If it's not too technical or reveals proprietary information.

Did you happen to mess up on a previous handle for this ax head? or did you change your mind on how you wanted it? Only asking because I noticed another handle in the back ground when you were talking about the card scraper.

Congratulations on a job well done! The axe really turned out beautiful. Don't mind the folks saying it took too long...I have enjoyed the entire series greatly. You work at your own pace and you don't compromise the work. What more can you do?

You did an amazing job on the ax. It's very beautiful. Can you still buy the Marbles number 5 ax?? Thanks for sharing.

I see that you use mac laptops -- do you edit video on a laptop also? And how does that perform?

Nicholas Tomihama channel just restored a garage sale find Pulaski, nice tool! Nick is in Oregon also. Love your little stove ax renovation!

This little axe is perfect. The Marble No. 5 was a gift from a friend, the handle was made from a handle that came from one your Grandfather's axes and you married them together with all your knowledge and hard work. I have enjoyed this series so much. Thank you,

Nicely done! Great series. God bless!

Really nice axe.... very good job in making it look awesome
