What is the name of that knife, it is beautiful I need one
Done. Subbed 🤙🏾
Coolness : 100%
Durability : 5%
Use green wood for the handle for 10% extra durability.
Add pine pitch to the handle portion that goes inside the hammer head. Once it hardens it’ll hold twice if not three to four times longer.

@@fanofmetal1You should actually use dried wood for the handle and green for the head. As the wood shrinks, a green handle would become loose due to the shrinkage over time. If the handle is dried, it will remain the same size and the green head will shrink onto it, further tightening the bond. We do this all the time for camp tools and it works perfectly.
I've had mine for about a year and I've beat the shit out of it. The only problem I've had was getting the eyelet stuck. Honestly would recommend getting one.
@@Arcahnslight Great tip!
And now you're ready to take on Donkey Kong.
pmsl I seen the same thing but no barrels to jump over 😅

...and suddenly I hear the music...
Tom and Jerry shenanigans bout to start with that hammer
I was also thinking looney tunes 😂

Lol
Technically that's a mallet 🤣
Wich technically is a type of hammer
@@dabois8280 which technically is a type of tool
@@seanm241 Which technically will break with one decent swing and then all you will have is a stick. Still handy when it dries out for a fire.
To make a wooden hammer all you need is this wide assortment of tools that should probably include a hammer with it initially
This.
I mean, the auger, being steel, would make a fine hammer.
@@Oogadoog no weight
That’s EXACTLY what I was about to say.
It’s a cool little trick, but would you ever need it?
Yeah, the wooden hammer would be useful for other things that the regular hammer you carried wouldn't be great for, especially processing food that requires hard shell cracking. It being wood makes it soft so it doesn't bust the food and cause it to get shot away at high speeds.
Pro tip: If you make your wedge from the same stick as the handle you get a wedge the same width as the handle
Thanks for the awesome tip! 🤝🏼🤝🏼
Word.
If i got an auger, saw, and knife why do i need a wooden hammer? Why would i bring an auger before a hammer or axe?
weight
The three tools combined weigh less than a hammer or axe, and take up less space. Tbh I'd always bring an axe if I was planning to do any bushcraft, but if you're optimizing for a small, light pack it might make sense.
@WungusBill-lf4iu so when your optimizing your pack, you think an AUGER is better weight management than an AXE????
Yeah, I may need to build a table while hiking.
@@majinjason
Like I said, I personally bring an axe if I'm planning on doing any bushcraft. I also don't really mind the weight of my pack too closely as I'm rarely doing more than a day's hike, and I'm never building anything elaborate enough that I have the need to bore holes. Other people have different needs.
@WungusBill-lf4iu honestly, an axe is a bit much for survival or hiking for me. A hatchet/hammer is always welcome.
The idea of making a hammer for survival seems a bit silly in general. Any good sized branch is a fantastic hammer as is. If the hatchet needs more force you can beat on the hammer face with a branch and split good sized logs.
But I know guys that pack all of that into just their knife. It's a saw, knife, hatchet, and hammer. I've never been much on those survival knives though, a simple 20 dollar pocket knife is good for me. The hatchet can do everything else. Plus the picket knife has 3 or more blades for all sorts, skinning, cutting, whittling whatever.
Great technique but just.not sure abt the proportions or handle to head ratio
I think he’s teaching a technique, not selling that hammer lol
If yoy are careful you can cut the notch deeper before you put it in. Then you get a deeper wedge contact.
I use either a small hatchet or a medium tomahawk, both with hammer back ends. Then, you still have a hatchet or a tomahawk.
To make it look a lil cooler you could also make it a cube by chopping the bark sides off
To make it look EVEN cooler, you can carve a wooden duck out of the head.

Yep just use a chisel and a hammer 😅
Chop saw or table saw is easier .
bro remembered he had rent due.
What knife are you using?
PKS Scorpion XL
The one he had on him.

@@vladtheimpala5532 Someone already answer the question 10+ days before i commented. I was clearly being snarky! However, thankfully, if i truly wanted to know and missed @justinuriahphoto comment, you would have solved my dilemma. So.. Thanx!
@@ITpanda
I was being snarky too. Maybe not quite so clearly though. I did see the answer above your question so …
Awesome tutorial. I’ll have to give it a shot this weekend. 😊
Gallagher would be proud. ☺️
I honestly don’t care what he’s making or what it’s called! It’s the fact that he’s resourceful & outside in nature that’s the best part - & he happens to have the tolls to use!
Thanks Sonia! 🤝🏼🤝🏼
when you have uncommon tools with you, that’s NOT being resourceful.
Nice! Simple, clean, easy, properly taught. This is a good video!
🤝🏼🤝🏼
‘Swings Entire Earth’
Nailed it.
Pardon me for interjecting something. The fact is that on that specific type of auger that has a tapered collar, the collar is supposed to reduce the diameter of a piece of wood so that you have a peg that perfectly fits the hole. If you had gotten a thicker piece of wood I think it would have fit Tighter and you would not have had to have it run all the way through and cut it and put a wedge
Good advice although the wedge is still preferred to keep it from working it's way apart.
You want a wedge or a tapered handle (flared above the top of the hammer head), no matter how snug the fit it's gonna work loose once you start using it unless you have it wedged in somehow.
@WungusBill-lf4iu Hmmm okay. I remember that because I'm planning on getting a couple of those Scotch eyed augers
I like that one!
🤝🏼🤝🏼🤝🏼
Enjoyed this well done.
All you need is an auger bit, a saw, a knife, make a handle for the auger bit and hammer handle. Something to pound the wedge in (like a hammer) and you have a hammer. Got a used estwing in '86. Still works like a champ.
I think the takeaway here is that if you add an auger bit to the knife and saw you’ve already got in your kit, you can generate numerous other useful items on site. For example, a hammer.
@@chrissaffran7655hit the nail on the head bro, some folk are just ignorant
Um, yeahhh. [Sips coffee.] We're gonna need you to go ahead and give a link to that auger tool. Mmkay. Thanks.

Time it took you to type that you could've typed in "auger drill bushcraft" into google 💀
If only you had typed Auger tool into google instead of YT replies lol...
Every man’s tool
How neat is that!!
A video that make sense. And I like that.
Thanks for the feedback. It helps me improve.
Here is a link to the auger tool... amzn.to/3wJ2IDA
This is awesome
So cool!
I've built these for metal forging. I still have the ones I made over 20 years ago. The trick is to use metal pipe straps around the mallet head, and keep tightening them as the wood dries. That way the wood won't eventually check and split. The type of wood that's used also makes a huge difference. Ash wood works great, btw.
Awesome leadership skills! ❤
🤝🏼🤝🏼🤝🏼
I never would have thought of making the handle first. That's a simple process.
So awesome ❤❤😊😊
Thanks Judith 😄
Oh!!! So handsome ❤❤😊😊
I'm scrolling through all your videos... brother this is amazing content 👏... I've learnt sooo much ... so many tricks... I'm very appreciative... thank you for this channel 🙏
That is neat!!
🤝🏼🤝🏼🤝🏼
That auger bit is pretty great for making a rocket stove from a log .
Definitely!
And just like that, the Sledge-O-Matic, is born!
Thanks for the Rust tutorial.
Love learning tips and tricks to use when I'm on the field- thank you for the video!
You are so welcome!🤝🏼🤝🏼
First tip is be sure to bring a knife, two saws and an auger if you want a hammer. If that is too much trouble for you, just bring a hammer.
@@TheRedSquirral Normally I have an axe, two knives and a folding saw when I am out and about- the back of the axe is what's normally used if I do any hammering, but I would like to try crafting a hammer like he did while I am sitting around the fire.
Now i can craft buildings thx
An Just Like That! You Can Pretend You Are Thor! Lol
Luv the vids i miss the outdoors it's been a long long time...
He carried every possible tool in warehouse except hammer 😂
Honestly that would be cool for pitching a tent with pegs in some hard ground lol
Awesome idea!
OKAY I LOVED THAT! That is not what I was expecting but I'll take it 😂
🤝🏼🤝🏼
Excellent idea ✔️✔️✔️
You just made every man wanna do this now
Nice and easy
I like the idea for when I'm with my kiddo. ❤
Have fun!
Great info brother thanks again
👍🏽 Great instructions! I have a stump just like it. Gotta go make a mallet, now!
Have fun!🤝🏼🤝🏼🤝🏼
Damn thats a big hammer. Thor would be jealous
As a kid Im a New Subscriber I love them videos And Im Learning new Things
Welcome to the channel!
Also, Shadow of Mordor was a great action game with a cool nemesis system thats raved abit to this day.
That's great!
Here is another tip for if you use green wood:
Figured out a way to make sand hot above a fire, this can be done in some kind of container, then stick the handle in there for a bit and this will dry it. Then DONT DO THIS TO THE HAMMER HEAD! When the handle is dried out it’ll nos shrink anymore so it won’t shrink itself lose, when the hammer head dries around the handle it’ll get a stronger grip on it.
So to clarify:
Heat sand
Dry the stick in that hot sand
Put the now dry stick in the still green hammer head
And continue the rest of the steps like the wedge and sawing the head of.
I hope this helps someone
Large rock has entered the chat.
I've used thick tree branches and even rocks as ghetto hammers, trust me that mallet looks way more comfy to use and much more efficient.
@@topbrasstv8867 yeah but a rock only requires you picking it up to be a hammer.
@@Stackali I know man, but the rock fatigues your hand a lot more because of how wide the grip is, a hammer gives you a better grip and you can swing it a lot harder and with more control than the rock. I kinda wish I knew how to make one of these when I went camping last year
You can shape it up over time depending on your use for it as well.
Man’s made a Flintstone Gavel
Amazing!!!❤
Thor is envious of you now! lol😂😂😂😂
also you can drill 1/2 - 3/4's of the way through the big log, and pound a handle into that hole with a slot and wedge already at the end of the handle you are inserting. as you install the handle, it pushes in the wedge and locks it into the piece.
Looks like the level 1 weapon you get when you play one of those fantasy games
Probably sells for 5 gold to a vendor
Another way to go about it is with a log about as thick as your forearm cut with a saw about half and inch to an inch into the log about 4 inches frim the edge all around it, then baton your knife or use an axe from the oppsite end from where you made your saw cut again around the same distance from the end to match up with the depth of your saw cut and remove material this will create your handle making it all one piece, its better to remove less material from the edge to start with as you can always take it off but never put it back on.
Bare in mind if the log you used to do this has a natural split in the log the mallet/hammer can split apart (this is very common with more brittle wood like yew) as the wood seasons but for a quick and easy one piece mallet/hammer it will do the job of most tasks
Amazing how you drilled a perfectly straight hole all the way through a stump twice the diameter of the length of your auger bit.
If I'm stuck in the woods, where the hell I'll find such an advanced drilling tool like the one you flashed!! 😅😅😅
Idk why I thought he was going to use the whole tree stump as a wooden hammer 😂
Feels like the notch for the wedge would be better done before you insert the handle so you can get more wedged surface
Bro just made a hammer for every cartoon
I’d love to have an auger but like that one!
Badass mallet! You could totally cut that kerf deeper for a more complete and permanent contact inside the eye of your wood mallet.
Good point!
Nice😂
"I'll take that wedge, and insert it there into the crack." 😂
😂
Wow very simple
Place down a tc
Future drops- simplest way to make table you just need CNC..
CNC might be difficult to backpack with. the saw, auger, and new mallet might be better in the woods.
Actually the simplest way to make a table is to chop down a big ass tree and flatten the stump
Thor would be proud!!
Job well done.
So cool 😎
I like the idea, but it would have been nice to get a little peak at both ends of the handle. But I’ll take your word for it.
Bro is playing survival game 😂❤
Ngl you made that look fun to do
The green handle will shrink when it dries out and the wedge should be dried wood, to stop shrinkage.
I don't know when I'd use it but I need that auger
Crude but works I dig it
I just bought a 120lb wooden mallet. 6 ft tall, from the Rennosaince faire lmaooo had ten different guys try to lift it and carry and wield and they couldnt. I LOVE MY HAMMER
Nice
I'll just pull out my trusty auger bit lol
At first I thought he said wind hammer. 🤣🤣🤣
My knife my this my that, my my my lol
Dude's living in Minecraft.
Genius.
Cool ❤❤❤❤
All the tools he had I expected him to secure the handle by tapping in the wedge with a brand new Stanley hammer.
It somehow looks as if the handle in the end is bigger than the stick you inserted before
That is cool
7d2d: congratulations! You completed your first task. Now create 3 wooden frames and set them.
Thing looked like Gallaghers sledge o matic.
I'm gettin me mallet
Tree stump is already wooden hammer. Mission complete
