How To Make an Axe Handle (Hand Tools Only)

do you have any of those axes for sale and if so where can we buy them Eoin?

Well done, you made that nice and simple. Much better than a previous one I watched where he used a container load of power tools. Interesting remarks about the wooden and metal spokeshaves also. 👍

Im looking to make an axe out of an old brake rotor but have no experience working with wood, only metal and mechanical repairs, could anyone point me in the right direction of what tools ill need to do it please?

I decided to make an axe handle as my first ever woodworking project, I made it using a whittling knife, axe and sandpaper. I am enjoying this a lot. I am super pleased with how it turned out as well. Thank you for the inspiration

Awesome video, just starting to get into handle making/ wood working. Definitely learned a lot from this video

Thank you. Hope you keep making content😌👍🏼

How do we buy them?! I would love one of your axes, the handle at least, lol

I live in south africa and I am having a really hard time finding suitable wood for an axe handle does anyone have any recommendations for a wood that is easily available and that is suitable for making axe handles

With someone with no knowledge or tools, but is interested in woodworking, where do you recommend I should start?

How to determine the shape in the first place?

I want to know what tools you were using but even with the captions on they were giving me wrong words lol Can anyone list the tools he used?

Don’t make handles for large tools out of any softwoods. You could hurt yourself or others. It won’t survive blows and break. If you for some odd reason make a shovel out of soft wood you can spear yourself when it snaps.

Do you have any advice on acquiring wood? I really want to start doing some woodworking and especially axe handles, but i have no idea where i can get some decent wood for it.

Looks good keep up the good work

Any word on where to buy these? Id be interested, depending on price of course.

Great video. Recently complete an adze handle for old carpenters adze I found. Have no use for an adze but is very satisfying to restore the head and make my own handle

Great video! I really like ash axe handles, they are so much lighter than hickory you really feel the balance of the tool change with a different wood.
