Part three of probably four, a little shorter this time. I had an easy plan for the handle and it just wasn't cutting it. SO, making a handle from scratch! While I'm at it, let's feature creep some more and just carve in all the designs I wasn't supposed to do!
Using my Dad's bandsaw, my chopsaw, table saw, files, draw knife, pocket knife, dremel tool, some rifler files, chisels, belt grinder, and pretty much ever other tool... I made a custom shaped handle for the Leviathan axe from God of War.
Carving in the knotwork and dragon head was super fun actually, I'm definitely going to be doing some more carving in the future. Perhaps a few knife handles will have to be embellished.

A little tip I learned years ago doing cabinet work. If you have a little bit of filler you can probably hide it with gel stain, but when you have to use a lot that don’t work. You can apply a thin coat of tan latex paint and let it set for a day. Then a very light sanding and apply your stain. You would be surprised at the repairs this will hide.
Handle looks great
WOW that looks fantastic. I love your idea for inlaying brass like that - it looks really good, and seems like an intentional artistic flourish rather than a compensation for defects in the wood. Your carved design is stunning as well. Can't wait to see part 4!
Great work! You make Brok and Sindri proud!
Wow !!! How i can miss this channel ?? Your work is awesome bro!!
Thanks!
Whoaaa, that is gorgeous. Your fine art skills are really shining through here. It's also cool to see the wood turn to a deep warm brown.
Love the passion.
You make some really great videos. I hope to see more and I hope to see success in your business! Just found you through the RR track anvil video.
Thanks! There’s plenty more on the way :)
Damn, where do I even start here? The brass, the design work, the carving detail... 😍
Hey man that is a nice looking handle you made. I was like fill those bug holes with resin but the brass was even better. I jumped ahead of myself now im gonna have to go back and watch the first two parts.
How did you don’t have 10.000.00 subscribers? Your work is amazing!
Hopefully I will in a year or two! Thanks! :)
Very cool. Need to get the emerald ash borer under control....it's a damned shame
Yeah it really is. This piece came from a tree that was in my folks’ backyard for 20 some years.
The house I’m in now had the biggest Ash I’ve ever seen in the back, four trunks easily 2 feet+ in diameter each... had to get taken down.
@@BennettTheSmith at least it's going to good use. 👍
Should have used epoxy resin I thought but the brass came out very nice good job
Damn that’s cool
Doing the repair with teh brass inlays reminds me of the Japanese art of repairing and highlighting the repair - en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kintsugi
Loving your videos, found you via the Frankenstien Anvil video and then onto your axe build - very enjoyable and nice commentary and content thank you
That was the inspiration, good eye :D. Thanks, glad you’re enjoying them!
Dude pog 🙌
It is uauuu
Yourr carving came out very nice. I would recommend checking out Stinnett Sticks on youtube.
Hey! I had a question. What kind of bit are you using the engrave the lines with from 7:54 onwards? I'm building this and I'm having trouble finding a bit that makes neat lines that are small but deep! Thanks in advance it came out great!
That one is a harbor freight diamond rotary bit. The end is a long cone. I was using it at an angle, so it kinda naturally makes a straight line, if that makes sense.
I was sorta switching back and forth to see what worked well. I’d say that one and the 1/32” ball end were the best for details. I used some larger ball ends to clear out bigger areas, as well as some flat ended carbide burrs (I think) to flatten out the larger areas around the mouth and head.
Finishing with rifler files goes a LONG way to cleaning up the curves and tool marks in the lines, btw.
@@BennettTheSmith Thanks for the reply, it really helped!
Wowowowwwww that's a real pretty piece of hard wood with some gorgeous detailing. God dammit Bennett, tag your porn! 😜
