Fantastic axe skills, I would not like to have my foot so close to where the axe bites. Great video, thanks.

 

[Harvestman]

Those are things of beauty. He has some skills.

I bet he has a few scars from his younger days too, using that axe.

Thank you for posting that. Sat having a think about life watching it. It I could only end up like him when I'm old.............

Thankyou, enjoyed that a lot, wouldn't fancy swinging the axe so close to my foot, it's nice to see an old craftsman showing his craft.

 

[Harvestman]

I quite fancy one of those shovels too. I bet it isn't as easy to make as he makes it look.

 

[Bishop]

If I ever become half that good with an axe I'll be happy.

Wood is amazing .....

 

[Dave]

Nice video.

 

[Damascus]

That was excellent, lost skills and what I thought best, not a woodlore or gransfor in sight, how did he manage without them?

 

[weekender]

What a nice video, they used to show short films like that on the TV years ago I really liked them. Skills like that are being lost and that is sad.
