New handles for old axe and adzes

Beauty and pride at its best. Nice work on recapturing part of the past. This is a part of the past that we need to keep in today’s society. Too many think that new is better. Glad to see you have recovered some of it.

I’m no carpenter Mads but I’m not liking your method of clipping your toenails. I have a fair bit of adze time in and that looks scary to me.

The handles are lovely. The tools, after long wandering, are home.

Beautiful handles!
The bucket in the background is also lovely.

Mads, I’m with Paul on the adze technique. There’s gotta be a better way. Beautiful handles and resurrection of the fine old irons.

Very nicely done mads. I picked up an adze that needs a lot of work recently and and axe that needs to be rehandled. I like the idea of making my own. The drawknife and spokeshaves are just so much fun.

I can say that mads is using the correct technique for that type of adze as demonstrated in everything I’ve seen from Roy Underhill to other vintage videos. They would even go at the wood right under their toes.

Beatiful Mads. Like a lot.
