I'm 59 years old and I remember being about 10 years old and living on a farm in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia... and we were dirt poor but my Dad got a Coke bottle and broke it, then using a bigger shard of glass from it that he hand picked from the pieces to slowly shave the axe handle down to where it would fit the axe head by scraping it with the glass! I remember him telling me that he used a Coke bottle because they were known for being made of thick glass! It was a Double Bit axe and I still use it to this day, not like we did back then for splitting wood to heat the house but just for tree roots and such! I just bought a new TSC handle for an axe head that I bought on ebay and I'm using your technique with the wood file on it tho! Didn't want to try it with the Coke bottle. Great instructional video Dude!!

I admire the interest and time put into this video, but if one wants to "learn how to handle an axe " check some other videos example : "Buckin Billy Ray "

Not bad at all. I do use my spoke shave and four in hand to shape the eye wood without issue but can't really fault your method. I use pine tar inside the eye of the head and on the wedge and have for years. Works good for me and helps prevent drying and moisture issues.

Cool video man, new sub. Anything you're seeking for a project? I just came into a truck load of axe heads and handles helping a neighbor clean out an old barn. Not what my channel is about but also not far off. I have no time, but I can't wait to hang a couple of the cool ones I've found. Might have to make a couple videos. Good work man.

he doesn’t know nothing, he gets the basic idea and good on him for attempting it and then posting a video on it, there is some techniques that he needs to learn such as not squeezing the handle tightly when he hammers it down, overall good job brother
