Hewing Axe Bevel Geometry

This video was inspired by Nicholas E, a budding blacksmith who asked me about the bevel geometry of a Japanese Carpenters Axe he had made. This video covers bevel geometry of hewing axes in general not just Japanese axes. Hope you enjoy and find it useful.

Lots of detail left out so if you want something clarified ask away.

A lot of the hewing clips are from the beam I hewed for my Medieval Apple Press. The link to the full video is just below as well as the full play list "How to make cider with an Axe". These videos were published on my original You Tube channel "Stuart Chignell" before I started my specialised channels "Chestnut Nag" and "Mad Scientist Prospecting". Not the best production values but not bad.

"𝗖𝗵𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗻𝘂𝘁_𝗻𝗮𝗴" is my handle on Ebay. Every month I bring in several boxes of tools from Japan. Some I add to my tool kit others I sell on Ebay, Facebook or directly to people who have asked me to track down something special.
