The goggles to funnel shrapnel into your eyes are the best trolling I've seen in a while. (I'm new to the channel, so if it's an old gag, it's new to me!)
With a normal round wire spring, you want to avoid coil bind where the spring is fully collapsed; the spring will deform and rob some of the energy you are trying to transfer to the axe head. Putting some pockets for the springs to fit in (it would be a shame to hide the springs though), or attaching a spacer/block to the hammer weight so it contacts the axe head just before the springs bind should significantly increase the splitting power, and you could just bolt on the spacer easily.
I think 2 hydraulic pistons would have been awesome instead of springs. They would have snapped back faster and without deformation. Ironically, I am a lumberjack, and can see 0 benefit to this modification. It neither decreases the shock at impact nor makes the axe cut any better. If there were perhaps a counter weight on the back, causing basically 2 impacts. The first at the moment of impacts and the second as the inertia of the counter weight push through. Just imagine exactly what he did but add another block behind the rear springs that slides freely on the two bolts, but with counter sunk springs so that ounce the spring is compressed the block would strike the center block. But again the loss of power from this design means a lot more force would be required at the handle for the same impact force. He basically designed and axe with a crumple zone, which is used in the safety industry to LOWER the force of impact.
The handle swell came out really nice. It's good to hear you talk about the project after the test. I've split a lot of logs, that axe was nuts on the large logs. Crazy.
Man, this is the perfect intersection between fascinating and cool custom building, and incredible weirdness, and it's exactly my speed, my guy. That's the fastest I've subscribed to a channel in a long time.
My brother from across the pond, u are hilarious & ur friends will never be bored with an interesting person like u in their life, they're lucky to have u!!!
I don’t usually have this problem, but having trouble deciding on what my favorite part of the video is. I think the leaf skirt. Very cool stuff. Good idea, love the attention to detail, and adore the walnut flare at the end of the handle. Well done!
Mostly cost, marketability & longevity are most likely the culprits, look at airless tyres 🤷♂️ incredible yet ridiculously expensive though i'd buy this in a heartbeat
It's cause it's potentially dangerous when hitting an hard surface. What happen to that energy when you miss the cut? Try hitting something elastic (like a huge nylon cube) with an hammer. That's how it was explained me rigid is safer. It's efficient but dangerous
@@carlogarneri7873 Well it's also just less efficient. Adding spring increases the impulse of the impact (the amount of time it takes for force to transfer). It's the same reason why your car has a spring suspension a well. The main benefit of this would be less impact on your arms, but if you just split the wood on your first hit every time then there isn't force transfer back to you anyway. Now if instead you compressed the spring and had them release on contact that would increase the splitting force of your axe
I'm only JUST finding this man?....NOW? My good sir, you are my spirit animal. Hard working, and just a bit touched in the head! I'm subscribbed and all now. Cheers mate! From one lunatic to another!
These are without a doubt some of the most bizarre antics I have ever seen in a video. No meds needed there, I'm sure! 😂 But the work was top-notch, l really enjoyed watching that build.
This was definitely a rad video, I appreciate the time you put into putting this axe together. It was a cool concept and always enjoy seeing what you come up with, you and your winning personality lol. Such a well behaved lad.
Definitely one of my favorite channels and I know every time I see a new video pop up I'm gonna laugh and love the machining and jokes. I wonder if I could talk my boss into letting me experiment making stuff in my SV-2 CNC Mill at work.
I will never forget that dreadful day back i the fall of '97.. I knew I should not have been using that big old rusty Axe to chop that hardwood.. How was I ever to know that that Axe head would come loose from the handle and go flying..? How was I to know Wilson was standing 10yards behind me..? How was I to know the Axe head would fly off in his direction and catch him right in the forehead..? How was I to know that sh_t..? I tried to pull it out.. but it was sunk in real deep.. so all I could do is go get some help. It was an accident.. and accidents happen.. RIP Wiilson.. you was a good man.
@@PleaseDontDeleteMyCommentsWilson was known to touch wooden axe handles inappropriately. He really had a thing for getting weird with the smaller ones.........hatchets and tomahawks. Not a single drop of precipitation leaked from my cryballs on that fateful day. I might even have helped our friend Mr. Tactical dig a hole in the woods for our used to could be friend Wilson 😂
Great looking axe. I haven't laughed this much in a long time. You have a great since of humor and are a man of many talents. I honestly didn't think the axe was going to work as well as it did, so I learned something.
This content would be so much better if he didn't try so hard to be edgy and funny. It's just kind of awkward. What he lacks in humor, he more than makes up for in craftsmanship though.
@@LostCauseRT I'm sure that's how you feel, but you'd be mistaken. The 12 year olds in chat may pontificate how they enjoy that awkward, try hard, obnoxious comedic attempts; basically acting like a child with ADHD. Literally no one who's an adult enjoys it. It is exceedingly cringe. This isn't coming from some edgy, hater, I'm being sincere. You know damn well this is a trope you create, and you're not this awkward and obnoxious when the cameras are off. Turn it down, and the stagnation your channel has received will be surpassed by people genuinely interested in your craftsman abilities.
I honestly just clicked on the most interesting title I saw, I am not disappointed, I love how you mix unhinged antics in with craftsmanship, you my friend have another sub👍
This is the best recommended video I've ever seen, I needed this. Binge watch ahead. Edit - Former mil as well? I've worked with a lot of Brits (ex Canadian Infantry), you fellas are built different!. Cheers from Nova Scotia my friend.
I truly can't believe that worked so well. I thought the give of the spring would really take away the stiff impact and chopping ability, but he was chopping fairly big stuff just as well. Really cool mod.
I admit, I had my doubts on whether or not you knew what you were doing. You surprised me for sure. I can't say that I understand the principle, but it certainly seems to work.
First time on this channel. It was an interesting concept, so I clicked to see the result. Love your funny bits and personality. Kinda wish you had used the ax without the modification, and then gave a conclusion on if the mod was helpful or not.
I love seeing these videos where they're splitting birch or aspen. It's like, two of the most compliant trees in existence, with the smoothest grain and a desire to split if you so much as look at it funny. You rarely see anything like maple, or freshly cut locust which requires a little coaxing from a 8lb maul. And you NEVER see anyone having a go at oak, which just giggles when you hit it.
Yknow... I thought this was going to be one of those science-y vids or like those item restoration/making type vids where there's no talking, but I was welcomed with absolute chaos 😂
Hey, everyone has commented about how exciting your vids are, but I loved how you used a 123 for TIGing. I'm always trying to find something the right height to rest on, but never thought to grab something from my machining drawer. Genius. PS, loved the splitter - I feel a project coming on!
Dude I loved watching you make this axe. It was so entertaining from beginning to end! You had me laughing the whole way. Im literally going to watch more right now. Cant wait to see what else you have made or come up with. Love the axe also, looks like it worked really well. I wouldn't mind having one for myself 😀 keep making videos! Id love to spend a day in your shop! Lol

Another axe variant, maybe i should try a hammer in this style?
Sledgehammer. Newton sledgehammer.
That would be interesting
I've been wondering about doing something like this for a blacksmithing hammer
Give it ago if anyone could make it work it is the great dark mind of yours
But forge the hammer first 😁
Whatever you do PLEASE do not go back on your meds. This is pure gold.
this man is my spirit animal
I think around 1:32 he was taking some kind of meds.
He was on meds? 😂
Plz and thank loki fer me entirely

Yea i cant tell where it ends or vegins either, wether its just all for the bit, or if the madness IS the bit or at least part of it. But its funny
Im not entirely sure what I watched, but id be lying if I said I didn't finish twice. Thanks!

But I appreciate the entertainment.
Good stuff.💪👍🥃🤣

When I saw the funnel safety goggles I immediately subscribed. I dig this guy's sense of humor.
Loved this axe. Didn't have a clue that it would work as well as it did. Highlight was the skirt. Your craziness is hilarious.

Thank you very much i really appreciate the support

When intrusive thoughts has a RUclips channel
That's actually working. Weird how nobody has thought of this before considering how old axes and dead-blow hammers are.
Mostly cost, marketability & longevity are most likely the culprits, look at airless tyres 🤷♂️ incredible yet ridiculously expensive though i'd buy this in a heartbeat

Now this is the personality that I think of when picturing someone who makes axes lol
Got a like from me! Good job man 👍
Mad genius level engineering. First time finding you & immediately subscribed, b/c this is the stuff of legends. 😎
youtube randomly recommended this channel. love this guy, he's goofy
I'm only JUST finding this man?....NOW?

I do indeed enjoy this lunatic, btw nice pfp
RUclips recommended this as a video and i have to say, the algorithm knows crazy loves crazy. enjoyed this more than i should have.
You need the slowmo channel to film these contraption close up
I was thinking the same.
Normally for videos where people make things I skip to the almost done parts but you are to funny to skip 😂
What's going on at 9:43. It reminds me of his mum
This is my first time watching your channel, and I believe this is my new favourite channel. Time to binge lmao
2:40 - poor axe got a bite taken out of it! Now I’ve seen everything….except I haven’t so that’s why I watched the rest of the video =)
These are without a doubt some of the most bizarre antics I have ever seen in a video. No meds needed there, I'm sure! 😂
But the work was top-notch, l really enjoyed watching that build.
Can't get enough of the innuendos...... In your endo🎉

You are in-freaking-sane, and I love it haha! Very entertaining!! Keep up the great work brother!!
Excellent production. And yes, I eat crayons too.
