    I recall my Grandfathers mantra on wooden handled and indeed wooden tools. He said, “boiled Linseed Oil, One a week for a month, Once a month for a year, Once a year for life”. My Father had many of his tools and followed the same principle. Proof in point was; I loaned one of my Grandfathers garden forks to my nephew. He did his digging in my garden but lost the fork.
    A year later I was digging for a hard standing to place a shed and dug it up!
    One year in the ground and it was almost as if I had loaned it yesterday.
    We live in ‘throw away’ times: Medication, tools, people and beliefs. Our history though had the answers for longevity of tools and life.

      Raw linsseedoil is best,penetrates deeper and has no lead and other metals or stuff in it. That is what they used in the old days and on millitary rifles too. Just a tip.

    I grew up in the Northwoods of New England on the Canadian Border. We still used axes and small saws in the woods,, especially as children. It was the young boys job to scamper along the felled logs with an axe to limb the trees ahead of the men who would run the chain saws to cut the trees into logs or firewood. I learned to be nimble at an early age. Lol. I have a few axes, hatchets and splitting mauls now. And a few decent saws. Setting and sharpening a saw is becoming a lost art. Just as using a scythe. I am looking forward to retiring back to my land.

  • @masterlee9822
    @masterlee9822 9 месяцев назад

    axes of various sizes gain some of their popularity as a tool that can be used effectually as a weapon or a backup weapon. Cutting firewood, cutting logs for a tent. Logging. very useful for both travelers and farmers and general survival. Small axes are easy to carry and transport. Spears are one of the most common weapons. Cheap and affordable and can be thrown like throwing axes and daggers. Goths developed some very effective throwing axes that was effective as melee weapons and used it in one of their rebellions against the roman empire. The axe was able to crack roman shield when thrown and in melee. Less effective at breaking shields used by the Germanic tribes like the Danes and Saxons Roman use large light thin wooden shields.

    @kitchencarvings4621 9 месяцев назад +1

    A few years ago I found a large, antique Hewing axe. It was such a thing of beauty that I had to have it. I think I paid $60 for it and it was well-used but taken care of. I used it to make some timbers and it is really satisfying but a serious workout lifting that head and the flakes flying. I sometimes wonder if there are any buildings still standing with timbers hewed with this axe. Ever since then, I've had a thing for axes. If you think about it, the axe was a pivotal invention. It made all kinds of things possible.

  • @rhircyn
    @rhircyn 3 месяца назад

    I'm seriously considering buying this axe and have it sent to Canada even though I could go somewhere local or, heaven forbid, Amazon. I'll look at sucking up the cost just because I feel Grimfrost knows what they are doing. As well, this is the second time watching this video that introduced me to your channel.

Being a white female working underground in a mine and working on oil rigs, I resolved being a victim in my 20s and refuse to see myself that way, EVER. My sincere hope is that you will heal from this blight on our society.
