  • @ColdFlame23
    @ColdFlame23 8 лет назад

    Of all the videos you've done, Cody, this one is among my favourites. It reminds me very much of the Neeman Tools videos, which I adore. Simplicity is sometimes the greatest beauty.
    Thank you for sharing.

  • @HOSSMCGILLICUTTI
    @HOSSMCGILLICUTTI 8 лет назад +4

    Glad you reminded us of the proper species of wood too use on a wooden handled lever tool Cody, thanks. I heard some people use Ash, for even much longer, more stressed swinging type tools. Ash is great for a perfectly straight handle, But no other hardwood splits more easily. It's splitting properties are very similar to cedar. Great job. Thanks for sharing Cody

    • @tommurdoch2989
      @tommurdoch2989 8 лет назад +2

      Ash has been used in Europe for thousands of years for tool handles. Only in recent years we've been getting American hickory. The hickory is stronger but some traditional tool makers still prefer Ash, I'm not sure if European ash and American ash are the same.

    • @HOSSMCGILLICUTTI
      @HOSSMCGILLICUTTI 8 лет назад +1

      Yes, we know this. It was a reference to an inside joke. We have white ash and black ash here in the adirondack mountains. I own a sawmill and actually sell white ash, or swamp ash. Most black ash goes to making large and small baskets and backpacks and such, very flexible when beaten to a pulp. Yet super strong and long lasting.

    • @SteveandDawn
      @SteveandDawn 8 лет назад +1

      +HOSSMCGILLICUTTI I'd like to know where on the West Coast he's getting the hickory. Maybe by mail from the east?

    • @tommurdoch2989
      @tommurdoch2989 8 лет назад

      +HOSSMCGILLICUTTI Thanks Hoss, (fraxinus excelsior) common ash is found across Europe, from the Artic circle to Turkey. It's the most common tree in the British Isles but is currently under threat from disease.
      its great for furniture, tool and sports handles. It also makes the perfect firewood, it burns hot for a long time and you can burn it green. I still don't know the difference between our ash and yours as we only have the one here as a native tree.

    • @HOSSMCGILLICUTTI
      @HOSSMCGILLICUTTI 8 лет назад

      Ya east coast. Probably Not Tennessee, hate to say it but thats a sales gimmick. But, they have big fir and western pine. Big red Cedar.

  • @TheRestorationCouple
    @TheRestorationCouple 8 лет назад +6

    Great video, the simplest ones are always the most inspiring. Is there any need to use the same wood species for the wedge or can it be any harder wood? i.e could you use a contrasting walnut?

    • @cameronmcpeak5183
      @cameronmcpeak5183 8 лет назад

      Iv actually read that a softer wood IE poplar is a better choice as softer woods bite more and will expand more when linseed oiled.

    • @wranglerstar
      @wranglerstar  8 лет назад

      +Cameron McPeak Poplar is not a better choice than Hickory or say Ash,

    • @cameronmcpeak5183
      @cameronmcpeak5183 8 лет назад

      (IE poplar) meaning a wood a bit softer than the handled wood. This will allow the grain from the handle material bite into the wedge for a higher friction hold. Now of course the only difference would probably be that a hardwood wedge may bounce more upon installation. And that a softwood wedge fills the voids between the handle and wedge better. Its really more personal preference than anything.

    • @cameronmcpeak5183
      @cameronmcpeak5183 8 лет назад

      also a little handle hack. if you use a contrasted piece of wood for the wedge like walnut or poplar (Poplar works fine if you use a good quality wood) not the crappy ones you usually use in handles. the contrast between the two woods will help if you need to remove the wedge for some reason, because you can see the different color shavings.

  • @randyc5650
    @randyc5650 8 лет назад +1

    Excellent video! Currently restoring a True Temper roofing hatchet and this is exactly the style of coke bottle handle I had in mind. I'll be using birch, as hickory is pretty hard to get in my area (and too expensive to order! haha).

    I'm so glad I watched this one. Thank you.
    I was looking on how to hand form a hammer handle, and I have the exact same tool, and also a vintage Stanley X3C spoke shaver. I have never used either, as they were inherited from my Dad when he died recently.
    I think I'll use my little 25cm bandsaw to get the initial shape.

      @MrJsowa 8 лет назад +2

      +DraaxLP Draxx!!!! no way do you watch WS! its all about inertia in this case the head was to light to counter the inertia of the handle.I got a channel about blacksmithing if you are interested at all,i have videos that kind of explain basic blacksmith techniques/tools.forge/anvil/tooling.might add a little depth to the use of forges and smithies in ARK unless you already know a bit about metal work.

    Beautifully shot and edited. The audio quality is awesome as well, I enjoy the relaxing sounds of the woodshop.
    I had a wooden spokeshave just like yours, with the worn down concave area in front of the blade. It was usable in this condition, but took some mighty thick shavings if I wasn't careful with it.
    I cut a notch into the beech wood to remove the section of the wood that was worn out and inlayed a new piece of hardwood to repair the area, it cut much better after that!

      +Wranglerstar Well sir, Jimmy Diresta is another craftsman such as yourself. He crafts thing more as a buisiness and as art though. There is an argument online about who does things the better way, Wranglerstar or Diresta. PErsonally I see the merits in both ways, especially since you are doing things for different reasons. I would suggest you go and look at direstas videos sir. I think you may actually enjoy them and have the time to watch since they are typically short vids. I have a great amount of respect for you both and have seen every one of both. Just keep on being yourself, we love you for your style and who you are, as we do everyone we subscibe to.
