    Good, but I would have gone with the more traditional straight handle instead of the splitting axe handle
    Edit: forgot to mention, how good of a job you did, it's good to see these old axes be restored, I even have one that I need to replace the handle of. It broke while I was making some fire wood

    • @1873Winchester
      @1873Winchester 3 года назад

      I thought that handle looked very straight, the traditional handle sweeps back a little, then back again so the bottom of the handle and blade meet at a certain spot when you put a straight line between them www.trapperman.com/forum/attachments/usergals/2015/05/full-2820-281028-image.jpg

    Hello :) I'm restoring a Billnäs 12.3 at the moment, and I would like to ask about the tempering you made on this one. Did you just tempered in the forge or did you use the oven? If so, how hot and for how long did you set it in? Very cool video!

  • @thefreewayoctopus
    @thefreewayoctopus 5 лет назад +5

    Very nicely done. Love it. 18 whole minutes of Make N' Create!😀
    Also, I've never heard of a billnäs axe before, so what is it? Is it a brand, or a type of axe? (Like, a type with an extra rectangle on the back) And what is the extra rectangle for?

    • @thangdinh9089
      @thangdinh9089 5 лет назад +3

    • @beavercreekwoodcraft8134
      @beavercreekwoodcraft8134 4 года назад +1

      Billnäs was one of a few forges that made kirves(axes) in Finland. They are probably the best known outside of Finland. They became Fiskars, the brand we know today.
      The preferred forge in Finland was Kellokoski/Mariefors Bruk, but Billnäs made fantastic axes nonetheless.

    Do you pre heat your oil before you quench, they say you should. And why split the end where the axe is going for the wedge with a chisel, why not cut it. Won't there be a possibility of a split going all the way along the grain of the wood. Nice Job though.

  • @beavercreekwoodcraft8134
    @beavercreekwoodcraft8134 4 года назад +11

    Nice save.
    These old kirves used a soft iron for the main body and considering the situation of the average farmer on Finland, these axes were worked hard!
    The Swedes dropped collared axe production in the early 1900s, but the Finns continued to manufacture them up through the 1970s.
    Fantastic axes when you understand their method of use and the environment they were made for.
    Why have a froe when you can have an axe that does the same work?

    I have seen and read that the tradition method calls for boiling the handle tenon in water for 30-60 minutes to soften the wood, then you split it after it's already in the head, but I wondered how it would go if the wood was left dry; seems to have worked well.

    Man, just a question.
    It isn't dangerous to tremping your axe in oil, knowing that your box can fall, deliber the oil content and burning your workshop ?
    It's just a question, I'm not a blacksmith. But I'm not 100% sure that's safe.
    Moreover, did you use the sapwwod for your axe handle ? It isn't better to use the hard heartwood ?
    Anyway, your restauration is really great. Thanks for sharing !

    • @MakeNCreate
      @MakeNCreate  5 лет назад

      Most certainly is! I get a better shot of it on top of the anvil though so I'm willing to take the chance :) Sapwood is more flexible and not a brittle as hardwood. So it's better suited handles. Thank you very much!

      However, I just want to tell you this true story. I know a guy who has a workshop with clay floor. His ground contained mechanical oil and hydrocarbon. One day, he cutted metal, and because of the sparks, his workshop caught fire. And he was burned very badly. The surgeons did a very good job, but he kept marks.
      That was just to tell you to be really careful, especially with burning oil.
      Anyway, that was a realy great video.
      Thanks for answered me.
