Very good video! Many diy axe handle experts, video makers, should watch and learn. Note especially how they correct the edge angle. That will make a ton of difference if you actually are going to use the axe.
Yeah it was great tips how to fix worn out axe blade. They also thinned out the cheeks above the main edge since as it had worn out the cheeks were too thick for the edge
Few notes regarding the snake wedges: 1. Old pine is preferable 2. If you use 2 always hit in first the one closer to the edge first so that the position won't shift
Loistava video! Satuin löytämään pari 12.2 kirvestä vanhemmilta. Yksi Billnäs ja yksi Kellokoski. Vielä kun kerkiäisi niitä laittaa kuntoon. Hyviä kirveitä.

Did he have the end of the handle in a pail of hot water before the hang? Man I would love to understand the whole process, this looks like a very good way of securing the head.
@@maxiemax1130 on the finnish collared axes we use birch because its strong but also little flexible. Even though hickory is much harder wood its not as flexible and will most likely break on the collar part.
@@KK-dt4gj Why would that be a good practice? It expands but then he beats the head on, now he has a handle segment with water in it, that dries out over time and shrinks, no? I think the hot water is for making this wedge process possbile so the wood the wedge pushes out of the way does not break?
1) At 8:20 has the wood been softened before fitting this handle? 2) Is the collared head secured just by tightening up them two prongs at the end the collar? Meaning snake head was never used on collared axes?
Yes they adviced using boiling water or hot tar. They said that opening the collar a bit makes the fitting easier. After the handle is fitted you can tighten the prongs against the handle. Collared heads such as Billnäs 12 is secured with just one snake head wedge. The other axe head (Teho) using 2 wedges.
@@AlbertKarhuFilms Yep England killed its forestry traditions with such vehemence its been difficult to get to doing it. Think I may be getting there though.
