Phantom Bevel Jersey Restoration Part 2- The Hang

Murphy's Law. I had intended for this video to somewhat chronicle the process of hanging this head on a new handle. To a certain extent that is still true, except for all the wood butchering part. I have the axe hung, but I have not much usable footage of getting there. Some of the footage was lost, some never got taken due to poor battery awareness, and some is so shaky it would cause motion sickness in the viewer. In the process of making the few video on this channel, I've come to realize how incredibly difficult it is to shoot good footage. Especially closeup footage of delicate handwork of a one off project. You can get good footage of the process but sound like Cletus the slack-jawed yokel, or you say just the right thing but the action is out of the frame. I also have a much higher tolerance in other channels that sometimes show minor editing mistakes etc. I know much more now how hard it is to do this properly. Hats off to the channels with such great production values and clear footage. All that said, I did have a tremendously fun and interesting time hanging this axe. I've done a couple things to this handle that are new to me. One is branding in a rule on one side of the handle at useful measurements for rough and ready woods work. The brand was made with a red hot cut nail heated in the forge. I was surprised at how minimal a touch burned a deep divot in the side of the handle. I am glad I decided to only brand a few critical measurements, vs a 1" ruler. That would have left a textured feel to the side of the handle I don't think I would care for. Unfortunately all that footage was not taken due to a dying battery, except for a brief excerpt. I also added a handle guard on this handle. I've never put a handle guard on any my axes as I feel the typical methods (leather/paracord) result in a bulky cover that interferes with smoothly and comfortably handling the axe. I made a rawhide cover and glued it to the handle with homebrew hide glue made from the same hide. This was a bit of an awkward process, but also incredibly fun. I also am very interested in working on rawhide handle guards on future handles, and retrofitting them to my other handles. Rawhide seems like the perfect solution for a strong, thin guard that is durable yet reversible when damaged (as long as you apply it with hide glue). Definitely a feature I'm going to continue messing with going forward. I highly recommend Steven Edholm's Skillcult channel videos on hide glue, they pretty much cover the process backwards and forwards. Some of the steps I didn't need as I was only making a small batch from a fresh hide, but they are educational for anyone.    • Quality Hide Glue From Scratch #6 part one...   I also highly recommend mauifarrier's videos on working rawhide.    • Covering a Tree with Rawhide
