Excellent vid mate  :tu: :tu: :tu:

I do prefer single bit axes myself as I'm never doing "earthwork" with them, and do like the poll when splitting so you can invert a stuck log and bring the whole lump down poll first ... but that's just what I'm used to ... even if double bit does look  :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool:  :D

I found it very informative so I thought I should share  :tu:
I am defiantly an amateur when it comes to using them, I'm looking forward to the meet so I get a chance to play with my double bit Axe  :D

I'm amateur myself. I've never hung one or done much other than the most basic sharpening really, though I did have to do some reprofiling of a hatchet with a file once. I know what to look for in choosing an axe and how to use one without my limbs falling off, but my experience is pretty much limited to processing firewood.

I'm looking forward to playing with your double bit axe too  :pok: :D :D :D

Good question.  My guess is that the stonework is to stop damp rising up the woodwork from contact with the ground.

Of course we do have a one or two Finnish members, so we could always ask them. :D

Stone work is for circulating air,  and keeping moisture out. They built also a cellar, to keep food in there. Stone work also helps in that.

As heating goes. They did not mention it any point, or build anything to support it.

Traditional Finnish Log House Building Process,
(this was posted on UKWorkshop)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3J5wkJFJzE

Fantastic video !

Not understanding the language I was wondering what the brick work under the floor was for and why no chimney  for a fireplace ?

Good question.  My guess is that the stonework is to stop damp rising up the woodwork from contact with the ground.

Of course we do have a one or two Finnish members, so we could always ask them. :D

oops, just re-watched the video.  I'm guessing you mean the the stuff they are doing at around the 17 minute mark.  Could it be some kind of hypocaust heating system? :think:

I have missed this thread completely.

Stone work is for circulating air,  and keeping moisture out. They built also a cellar, to keep food in there. Stone work also helps in that.

As heating goes. They did not mention it any point, or build anything to support it.

Thanks Crow  :tu:

Yeah, cheers Crow. :cheers:

What I like about Ben Orford (apart from the fact he's genuinely nice guy) is that he was/is a green woodworker, so his sharpening videos come from hard learned lessons.

Title: Re: Axe Related Videos
Post by: styx on November 03, 2018, 10:28:21 PM
well if we want to dig into the details, that handle had a chunk missing, by the looks of it (although this could be entirely wrong) the bit had quite a way to go before the shoulder so it could have been driven on a bit further and the edge had a real chance of being overbuffed with that metal polish (a problem most knife makers who use convex grinds run into when letting a new person finish the edge/knife)
