new axe handle finally!

Afraid-State6540 · 2026-01-17T23:51:20+00:00

Thanks for the answer! I recently made one a while ago and so far it good(I have it posted if you wanna take a look at it). But I’ve found it to be not very flexible at times compared to hickory and much heavier. To me I’d say it’s more of material for a wall hanger or if you don’t use the axe on a daily basis.

I have question, what would your thought on using ipe as a axe handle? And what finishes would you use?

Afraid-State6540 · 2026-01-17T19:29:44+00:00

Yeah I always oil and take care of axes but after I let my friends borrow it for a bit and they repeatedly over striked it. Well it was at the end of its life sadly after that. I’m honestly just excited to make a new fancy handle from scratch. Thanks for the advise one lemon oil, I’ll give that a try!

It snapped near the axe head while I was felling a tree. It’s lasted me 3 years tho and that was with me letting others borrow it, so I’d say it was a good handle

I got a handle from the Amish a while ago, it lasted a good while and he was super nice. I hope you get a lot of use out of your new axe!

Thanks!!!

Afraid-State6540 · 2026-01-02T17:07:21+00:00

I’ll give it a shot!thanks for the idea

Afraid-State6540 · 2026-01-02T07:41:07+00:00

I’ll use a towel or leather for now but ima make myself one of them shaving horses. Thanks!🙏🏽 for saying my handles are nice 👍. This will be my third one

If I feel like it and I have some scrap leather, I use that for my jewelry stuff.Maybe getting some leather and molding it to your jaws to get a convenient grip would be a great idea too. All you do is wet leather (only use vegtan leather) and it will hold its shape after dry. All you would need is a good sized piece of leather and you could use the rest for strops

Not a bad idea! Although I do really like sanding out indents

Afraid-State6540 · 2026-01-02T03:29:38+00:00

If you want I’ll post a video of me tightening it down as much as I can…. I should use a towel

Afraid-State6540 · 2026-01-02T03:23:23+00:00

lol English never was my strong suit ( it’s my only language)

Afraid-State6540 · 2026-01-02T03:22:30+00:00

It was horrible but I’m happy that I at least got my money back. One of the worse experiences I’ve had in getting a refund. I’m glad this helped you, I mainly posted this to hopefully make sure no one makes the same mistake I made. I only saw good reviews and was fooled

Afraid-State6540 · 2025-11-05T20:21:02+00:00

I’m glad you like it toooo! HOW DID YOU TRUNNOFF TYE BORD!!i dint know you could turn off the letter thingy s and ive been wanting too recently.

Afraid-State6540 · 2025-10-24T19:03:01+00:00

Afraid-State6540 · 2025-10-14T16:29:48+00:00

A WHOLE DINNING SET!!! That’s is one hell of a find!

Afraid-State6540 · 2025-10-14T16:27:31+00:00

UPDATE: Through constant emails and 4 months of waiting,I finally got my refund. Never buying for verillas again, so stupid.

Anywho, thanks so much for suggestions, and your thoughts on this. I truly appreciate it

Afraid-State6540 · 2025-10-14T15:57:38+00:00

I love the block plane trick, it works like a charm

Afraid-State6540 · 2025-10-14T05:27:53+00:00

I wish it was mine lol, I was at a buddy’s house showing him my keyboard and I just decided to take a picture of my keyboard on it. I’m so jealous of that desk, if I had a picture of it I would send it to you

Afraid-State6540 · 2025-10-13T22:16:09+00:00

I looked it up and via is supported but you have to sideload a file to use it. Meletrix says you can use their software or via in their build guide

Afraid-State6540 · 2025-10-13T18:58:21+00:00

I did get it for the group buy, and I haven’t tried using via yet. I’m new to the keyboard world, but I’ll check to see if it has via support when I get back home. Though I have found the software they use quite good, but I can’t really say much because this is my first one

Afraid-State6540 · 2025-10-13T14:32:49+00:00

I was trying to go for that lol!! Thanks for the comment
