Скачать или смотреть Hanging a Hatchet 4: Retemper, Rehang, Retest

In a Part 1, I roughed out a premium quality hatchet handle from fresh split green stock using an axe, drawknife, and spokeshave. In Part 2, I modify an axe head and do the preliminary hang on a similar handle that had already air dried for a few years. In Part 3, after testing and wedging the axe, I discovered a (fixable) defect in the steel.

In this video, I remove the wedge, separate the head from the handle, and re-temper the axe head to soften it slightly before rehanging it.
