@Scottjon Dansteve I think it makes the entire tool look store-bought and it cheapens his effort in replacing the hilt… in my opinion it also takes away from the aesthetic. Having a logo on it advertises the product for other people and does nothing for the owner. If you are going to invest this much time and energy into replacing the hilt and painting it, you may as well take the logo off because it is unique and it cannot be found in stores that way.
@swisshakilla
2 жыл бұрын
@Scottjon Dansteve it obviously was if it had a logo on it, but just because it was store-bought doesn’t mean you have to walk around with an advertised logo on your product. It seems like a silly question to ask provided my previous comment, but… If the logo itself doesn’t add status to your product, such as the Apple logo on an iPhone case, or a Jordan logo on the tongue of a basketball shoe, it’s there for the sole purpose of promoting the company that manufactured it. Hence it serves no purpose to the consumer, aesthetically or otherwise.

I hang axes and handled tools. You're ALMOST right. There are 3 terms to know. Hang, haft, and helve. The hang is the orientation of the handle when installed, it is correct to hang a handle, and when orienting the handle, you are hanging it. A badly hung axe is one in which the hang (handle orientation) is not perpendicular to the blade edge Haft is another word for handle; you can haft an axe, as that is to put a handle on it. It is correct to say I'm hafting an axe as well, as that is also to say you are installing a handle. But when the handle needs to be sized to the eye of the axe, and made straight; that is hanging. Helve is the same as haft. The reason one might say "I can't get the hang of it" is actually because hanging an axe is iterative; that is to say, you take some material from the handle, try to fit the head again, etc. Some people can't help but take too much material, and this leads to a weakly hafted axe or hammer, and some people take too much off of one side or the other, and that leads to a badly hung axe as previously described.

Taking the varnish finish off the handle will help you avoid blisters. An oil finish is best. Back when we really handnailed walls together, we would scrape our handles every day to remove dirt and wax. Then we would use wax to help us hold onto the handle all day long.

Nice, but two things could be better: 1. before installing the new handle just place it in an oven for 30 minutes at about 80-100 degrees Celsius to dry it because: 2. Leave about 1/4“(6mm) of the wood sticking out of the hammers/Axe‘s head. That’s because the dry wood from the oven will soak moisture from the air and so it will never loose up.

Only thing you need to do is oil the handle nicely, it will do the job of puffing the wood up like water but it doesn't escape so it's permanent and makes up for good moisture prevention

I always strip the finish off the handle of my tools and soak them in linseed oil for a few days, then let it dry for a week or two. It takes a long time but it makes the handle very strong. I have two framing hammers just in case, but I can’t remember the last time I had to replace a handle on one.

Best way to seat a wedge is to put it flat on wood and hit the handle from the other side ( with a mallet, not a hammer ). Hitting the wedge itself can cause it to crack. It can crack doing it his way as well but its a lot safer.
