A while back I had surgery and laid in bed recouping and found this video. Maybe two years ago. I’ve been back to this video 30 times since, I store the link in my notes. This fella’s technical prowess and care is tremendous, I’ve learned quite a lot from it. He’s on the younger side too, I appreciate there being a representative of my generation that lives like this. Props!

I have seen a fair number of hatchet heads that looked as bad as this one did before you restored it.(Some farmers I knew did not treat their tools very well. Most of them, actually.) The thought of abusing a hatchet in such a way makes my teeth hurt -- as does the gall it takes to ask for $35.00 for such a damaged tool. Nevertheless, I appreciate why you purchased it for this video. It became a very good "teaching tool". This is excellent restoration and redesign work. You now have a nice "Viking" hatchet 😎, not to mention that the handle alone is a thing of beauty. As always, it is a great pleasure simply to watch you use your tools and to hear you teach about them -- interesting, informative, and impressive. Thank you for this video. P.S. As I watched you set the wedge in the hatchet head, I was reminded of what my uncle told me: "Tap in the wedge until it starts to talk back. Then you're done." Good advice.

It is a lot of oil to fill that bucket. You will likely re-use the oil it but I think I would have poured a smaller amount of oil in a plastic bag with the axe head and then dumped the whole thing in a bucket of water. Would there have been a downside to that?

This is by far the best video explaining everything! Add one of your sharpening videos (I’m assuming you do have a few, as I’m new to the channel) and it’s perfect! I am fairly new to ace handling, making and woodworking in general. As an electrician I would like to think I’m genuinely handy LOL, and watching videos like yours, you really encourage great craftsmanship, even on a budget! Overtime, you acquire the tools you will need to do all this. Antique shops and yard sales along with FB and Offerup are excellent ways to get a lot of items (trust me, the older is usually better as the quality is the reason they lasted so long!) thanks for the inspiration (even if I’m late to the party) LOL
