    This reminds me of watching my dad in the workshop when I was little. He made all kinds of things and had great skill with leather. He taught me, "a guy can do anything if he just has the tools."

    How creative! I never would have thought to use a folded towel as a brace to get the right angle with the file! Love it! A very nice axe!!
  • Beautiful work. You remodeled an 8 dollar axe into a 150 dollar axe anyone would be proud to own. Mad skills!

    A guy with covered face walks into a store and buys a hatchet. This would be a major news story on 2019.
  • @howler6490
    Makes a pleasant change seing a guy without ALL the tools on the planet in his workshop.Good one!
  • Love how excited he gets on making this hatchet into a piece of beauty. Remarkable talent and keep up the great work!

    Endlich mal jemand, der ohne die Hilfe von HightechMaschinen und mit bloßem handwerklichem Talent ein so beeindruckend schönes Handbeil fertigt! Meinen allergrößten Respekt!!
  • @EarlyMist
    I'm impressed with how difficult it was to remove the stock head from the handle. I've had cheap axes where the head just wants to fly off with each swipe.
  • I have to say i like the fact you are showing a sheath being made for the axe.....most restorer's only show the restoration or reconfiguration of the item and nothing else! Thanks!!
  • The cut to quiet at the whetstone was beautiful. This was inspirational. Nice video.
  • @coreyevans835
    How you sharpened the blade just blew my mind! So simple yet effective
  • @DarrelCombs
    That was the most satisfying video I´ve seen in a loooong time! That workshop is awesome too. Thanks for sharing your craftsmanship and inspiring us!

    Hey Felix. I've only watched a couple of your videos so far. But they were both Gr8. I loved how you used the hand towel to control your filing action. Beautiful I will be making my new axe, a new are, that I've always wanted. Thank you Sir
  • @davidkurle5418
    Outstanding, Felix!!!!!! That axe is beautiful! Glad you didn't attempt this project using only a Swiss army knife. lol Many thanks to Jenni for letting us see his awesome workshop again too!

    Instantly subbed dude. Real craftsman are rare today. You basically worked with metal (cold) AND wood AND leather on nearly high professional level why smiling AND having a good time ONLY. I'll be damned mate. You are an idol.

    Sensationelle Transformation! Es macht Spaß, Dir bei der Umsetzung Deiner Ideen zuzusehen! Vielen Dank für Deine Mühe - das Video dauert nur 15 Minuten. Die Arbeitszeit war bestimmt viel länger ;-) …dann noch schön geschnitten - einfach nur Wow! 😊
