when I wrap adzes or knives I run out around 15 or 20 feet of twine, fasten it to a door handle or post, then keep constant tension as I wrap by leaning back (as if I was water skiing) and gradually move toward the fixed point. The stretchyness pulls up agoodtension. Something else I discovered, strips of rubber inner tube wound tight under tension make a fantastic wrap. I use sheffield tapered plane blades or old billhook steel. I love elbow adzes, any excuse to use mine and I do!...all the best from England
@@CFBC_TV No problem. I am not First nation American, I live in England. I first started using elbow adzes and bent knives some years ago. I consider it a far superior way to carve, than having the work fixed in a vice and using a gouge and mallet. I like the constant rhythm and interplay of the movement of the workpiece and that of the tools. What other tool will adjust its cut from coarse/medium/fine/very fine andanything in between in an instant without having to alter any screws or wedges like you do on a plane? Or cut left-right-right-left forwards, backwards,skewed at an angle and instantly interchangeable from one mode to another without any fuss or hassle? I dont know what you think, but I dont think I indulged in cultural appropriation, I just used common sense and adopted a superior method! God bless, all the best from England
Hello! We do have videos for the handle. You can find the handle carving video here: ruclips.net/video/UgMxTO4JC94/видео.html and the handle tying video here: ruclips.net/video/S9mG3fVhUXs/видео.html
Nice I think I'll make that style one. You mentioned the now mobile part like a spring what part is that so I can find used on eBay please, I can see it looks like the right thickness. Thanks!
When I was doing research on stone tools (chisels, adzes, celts, spuds and axes) of various cultures, I was made aware of a style of adze known as a D shaped Adze. Are there any plans in the works to show how to fabricate that style of adze handle or videos for elbow adze handle making? I've looked everywhere on RUclips but cant find them.
That was fantastic and very well done!!! THANK YOU!!!
Absolutelty Outstanding! Well done. 👍🏻
What a great video I like how it instructed safety too. I have a couple of maple trees I may search for a handle
Great video! I learned so much!

Just go to your mechanic and ask for the old ones they have
