Enjoyed your time

“…and I’ll do that by myself where I can swear.” 😂

I see I’m 2 years late but still relevant. Happy holidays Dan

What a great idea. I hope these beginners realize what they have and keep them forever. To be handed down to their next generation. Love the trick with broken glass. I use cabinet scrapers

I hope to find the rest of your content. I’d also love to see the axes you used to chop before hewing they looked like regular chopping axes. I am an axe collector in NH and collect axes primarily made in New England. Though I love and appreciate them all.

Dan this is incredible stuff. I’m an axe enthusiast here in New Hampshire and been playing a bunch with broad axes lately. I didn’t know to use the beveled size in. Thank you. I have a couple NH made masting axes that are double beveled I’ve never heard why that is. Have you ever read the book Tall Trees and Tough Men by Robert E. Pike? Great section in there about axemen

"By the time you're done failing the job is done" 😂🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

It’s an honor to be of use to a seasoned hewer like yourself!

this is magnificent stuff, Dan. As an somewhat experienced hand hewer I can attest to that after the skill of controlling the broadaxe is aquired the single most difficult thing that can be enourmously frustrating is keeping the log in place and not rocking out of place from all the axe hits. Leaving it on the tree is a very smart move and I will have to try that out I hew with German style goose wing single bevel broad axes which is the traditional tool here in Denmark, and hew with the bevel facing away from the work and will continue to do so, but I really like your method of layout, as it it really flexible and usefull for logs that are not straight.

Outstanding teacher , great knowledge, kept me interested throughout. Thanks 🙏

👍🇺🇸👏🏼

"...as it pleases me..." I've watched this video about 20 times, and keep picking up more information, each time.

When getting rid of the high marks, with the help of the broad head axe, could you in theory use a draw knife? Or is a hewing axe is what you need and that's it?

My english is not good enough: When he talks about the broad axe, which side is which? is the slanted side towards or away from the wood?

beginner: You are a beginner if you are affected(easily disordered) by failure.

No dribble-E spoons from seeing spoons in bumps; right. Aspire to 2 to 3 dollar an hour wage as a crafts person. :/ :) I love your excitement around the pick-up-sticks, and look forward to them revealing themselves to my eye as I am looking at woods.

“By the time your done failing, the job is done”. Awesome quote!

Simply amazing to watch a true craftsman. Thank you ❤

Nice to see the variation and similarities of father and son. The same overall process, with shifts of attention to certain areas. And the foot Vice spoke shaving is choice

Hehee glee! Thanks for sharing your unboxing joy

Love the sculpture garden Performance play idea.

Huzzah philosophical messes

@14:00 Norris Patch taught Dan the technique of driving the tool into a soft/green billet or round

hey i just found your channel today after searching for how to hew and i like this idea of yours i am a bit of a craftsman so if i got one of those i would want to do most of the work myself so im probably just gonna buy me one myself but i hope youhave a good day also i very much agree on the pitted axes the best axe i have now is just a random old camp axe i decided to sharpen up that was left at the beac for years so it almost looked like it was buried for a century works good now though

Around 1880. Thanks!

Hey Dan. Those are nice windows. How old are they?

Thank you for sharing your knowledge

Dan, you can dress they axe any way you wish. Yours and Andy's work would compliment each other im sure.

Thank you, Andy and Dan!!

As a hobby blacksmith with lots of work in wrought iron and steel, I would absolutely love to sponsor you by taking this upon myself to rebuild this axe and ship it to its new owner. I work at a wood shop as a manager as well and can make a proper handle no problem. I just absolutely love being able to handle history and try to reverse engineer it to learn how it was made. Should I get the honor of rebuilding this axe, I'd for sure replace the handle but ship the old handle with the axe.

Sir you are my inspiration, you know!!!! I have nothing to do with axe, but I can't stop watching your video.❤❤

Good job Dan

A belt sander is fine as long as the paper is new and you keep the steel cool. You could use a file, but that takes a long time. The explosion of sharing info the last years means a lot of dogma is talked about. But the people who are hewing as a part of their work converge on a fairly similar set of parameters. Those who can learn from a living practical tradition, can be assured to get straight to the point. The truth is, most people are hobbyists or sportsmen and the margins are just not so important. Thanks Dan and "cameraman" for sharing your knowledge, it is so valuable for the continuation of these skills.

Thanks for watching and commenting!

Thanks for filming this Dan and "cameraman", best wishes and God bless.

Sir you are a great human being❤❤❤❤❤

Sir, I too am a Flutist and a repair enthusiast. The world is a wonderful place to live in because of people like you. You made my day Sir, God bless you.❤❤❤❤ Sir I have a similar method because of which I never had to change my Flute pads for the last 26 years now. Sir would like to share the same with you.❤❤❤

A coffee table with WHAT? GROSS!

A knot is like a rock in a stream. Probably the most important thing to remember when hewing.
