  Nice job! Looks great. I just found a similar pipe wrench in my toolbox. What is the spring steel for on this type of wrench? Mine have Japan stamped on the handle. Must be over 60 years old.

  That's awesome! It's so you have some flex in the jaws so it will grip when you pull up but can adjust when you slide down.

  Looks good brother. I never use wood glue on my wood wedges. I drive them in dry and put linseed oil on after it trimmed up. Been doing it that way for 40 years and haven't ever had a problem. It makes it easier when you have to change also. I drill a small pilot hole in the wedge and use a srew with a slide hammer to remove the wedge. On an axe or a sledge hammer i use a metal wedge going with the grain of the wood.

  Thanx for making this video. I've collected these levels for a while now, mostly from thrift stores and garage sales. Some have broken spirit bulbs, but I can cannibalize some to fix others. I'll use the rosewood to make some new tools. Liked, shared, subscribed and saved to my playlist to come back to later.

  Did you use the same oil for the wood and as lubricant for sharpening? And if so, is it boiled linseed or something else?

  Yes I did, it's 4 parts boiled linseed oil to 1 part turpentine.

  Everyone has their own take/ preference. I love the Vintage Patina and look of that hatchet. Handle looked solid. I would of just made sure Head was Tight as needed and gave it a few LO treatments. Sharpened it accordingly. Made a Scabbard for it. Hung it up until time to hit the Trail! Nice Work 🇺🇸

  Evaporust is the brand name. But you can find generic ones. It's basically a chemical that non-harshly removes rust.

  The first thing you need to figure out is from which side was the pin pushed into the hole. Most old pins used to have a slight taper in them, so in order to remove it, you need to push it out from the small end. If you keep hitting it from the large end, you will be setting it in stronger and stronger.

  Axe looks pretty darn good. I really love using waxes on my handles and using some steel wool to help even out the bluing when you rinse it. Give Real Milk Paint Co and look and a Japanese pull saw for trimming the wedge. Dig the handle at the end as well! 🤘

  What epoxy did you use? I have an old hatchet that I'm tryin to reuse the handle. There are some gaps in the front and back of the eye. I was thinkin of doin like a cross wedge but idk about that.

  It's an epoxy meant for fixing fiberglass or wood handles to axes or hammers. I believe I found it on Amazon.

  You never put metal wedges in the axe handle use the round wedges they push from all sides and won’t break the wood like the regular metal wedges do

• 
  @glennjames7107 Жыл бұрын

  You don't need the steel wedges. If you use a little wood glue on your hardwood wedge, and fit the handle properly, you won't need any steel wedges. And you can pound away for years, but only if you have a good fit between the axe, and the handle.
