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.
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!)
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!
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.
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!
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.
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 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 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.
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 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.
@@Johnny-rj9onWilson 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 😂
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.
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.
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 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 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.
I like how the end knob turned out. Was cool overall honestly, looks like it performed pretty well too. Did you have to put a little more into your swing, or maybe a little less power? Just curious in regards if the design helped & if so, how much?
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!
I was wondering how it would work, seems like it worked well. Curious how you feel it compares to the other axes you've built, like the dead blow or the kinetic axes.
Onur, The axe worked out good, the handle turned out great really like the palm swell. Thank you for taking time to film, build, edit and post this video.
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
Он принимал, но это были не лекарства.
Clicked for the funky looking axe, stayed for the chaos! 😅
Same same
Me 2
First thing I said to myself was, “this man is fckn nuts” 💀💀💀
Same here
Same😂😂
This man could play a damn good villain in a movie..
He's basically Ulysses Klaue from the MCU... a crafty Andy Serkis. Baby don't hurt me no more!
Or a Deadpool variant@@addictedtojet
@@Cephris Deadblow Deadpool that exclusively used deadblow weapons
Idk why but he reminds me of someone from a pixar animated
A very crafty henchman.
Lore accurate D&D Goblin smith. And I’m here for it.
I couldn’t agree more
Me while watching the demonstration of the axe in the end: This is not how I imagined the forest fairies would look like. I am not dissapointed
Facts
There is a lumberjack girl youtuber, Nicole Coenen, it would be funny if you send her the axes you make so she can test them.
I was just thinking this.
That would be awesome!
That would be one hell of a crossover
I second this, collab vid where she tests all the axes he's made 🤘
OMG. That would be a *brilliant* collab!!!
Yep he screams I’m a Royal Marine aka “the other crayon in eaters” 😂 I love his twisted humor he fits in with us Vets in the states 😂
Wasn't a Marine, but I am and always will be a Paratrooper. I felt right at home. "LETS GO!"

Unsafety glasses!
Dude is like an unhinged Norm Abrams and I’m Here for it.
I was thinking an unhinged version of @BobbyDukeArts lol
Im not entirely sure what I watched, but id be lying if I said I didn't finish twice. Thanks!

WHATTTT
I too finished twice while watching 😻😻😻😻😽😽😽😽
@@YakubTheFather your pfp does indeed edge me

I... I can't tell where the bit ends and the genuine madness begins... but this man is a whole new kinda unhinged, holy fuck. 🤣
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
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!
I do indeed enjoy this lunatic, btw nice pfp
I didn’t anticipate having an unhinged axe modification build on my bingo card…
But I appreciate the entertainment.
Good stuff.💪👍🥃🤣
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.
You are quite bonkers, and we love it 😂
I appreciate both him being bonkers and the bonkers he makes.
I love the stuff he make but him acting bonkers bugs me.
It’s like I am seeing myself, if I could express my inner self so well.
I wonder if he’s related to Lizzy Borden
I like how you got progressively more sane the more the project progressed
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.

Jason Statham on his villain arc. Enjoyed the video!
This man is clinically insane.
...And I love him for it 😂
Mad genius level engineering. First time finding you & immediately subscribed, b/c this is the stuff of legends. 😎
Nice to see someone that knows a machinist's file only cuts in one direction. So many people go back and forth.
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 =)
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.

One of the best axe vids ive ever seen, and im axe obsessed.
Looked awesome and fun!
….when I’m splitting wood, dry, wet, doesn’t matter, I prefer sledge and wedge.

I am very PLEASED with this ax!!! Thank you so much for sharing your fun content.
thats bad assery!!! love it. liked and subbed. you make the channel fun and funny!
