    Way better to do a traditional epoxy free hang. When the handle inevitably gets too damaged or breaks, getting the eye cleaned out is a pain in the ass. Do take note that epoxied heads usually have parallel sides in the eye so you will have to create a taper in at each end. I do this with a carbide burr in a drill. Only takes a few minutes. Provided you don't glue the wedge in and don't use any metal wedges, repairing loose heads or replacing a broken handle is a simple process.

    As a Plumb fan boy, I say this with love. Screw the permabond axes. I've done this several times with nothing but hand tools. Not one time did I come out unscathed. Beaten and bloody is how I would describe how restoring a permabond leaves me. Great job, though!

    great work and video. i have a similar one i am restoring and made a big mistake. I put linseed oil over stain to condition wood. to speed up drying I put level for an hour in the hot. the liguid in the glass level units evaporated!! any way to restore these or get new ones??

    • @prodigalrestorations
      @prodigalrestorations 5 місяців тому

      Oh no! I have seen somewhere where they sell plastic replacements. That might've been Ebay. Not sure how else to get the liquid back into them, sorry.

    I'm a Plumb fan from wayback and have a collection of them, including some Permabonds. I think you've done a fine job, well done. It reminds me of a 4lb Permabond I bought new at a hardware store in Australia around 1970, which still has its original hickory handle and has given sterling service over the years. Keep up the good work.

    Awesome job! I might try that copper plating on one of my hatchets....looks cool. Looks like you may need a bench-hook to help you with the sharpening stone from moving around.

    • @prodigalrestorations

    Nice job! Looks great. I just found a similar pipe wrench in my toolbox. What is the spring steel for on this type of wrench? Mine have Japan stamped on the handle. Must be over 60 years old.

    • @prodigalrestorations
      @prodigalrestorations 7 місяців тому

      That's awesome! It's so you have some flex in the jaws so it will grip when you pull up but can adjust when you slide down.

    Another great restoration. Nice work brother

  • @ivanstiles7030
    @ivanstiles7030 11 місяців тому

    Looks good brother. I never use wood glue on my wood wedges. I drive them in dry and put linseed oil on after it trimmed up. Been doing it that way for 40 years and haven't ever had a problem. It makes it easier when you have to change also. I drill a small pilot hole in the wedge and use a srew with a slide hammer to remove the wedge. On an axe or a sledge hammer i use a metal wedge going with the grain of the wood.

    • @prodigalrestorations

    Thanx for making this video. I've collected these levels for a while now, mostly from thrift stores and garage sales. Some have broken spirit bulbs, but I can cannibalize some to fix others. I'll use the rosewood to make some new tools. Liked, shared, subscribed and saved to my playlist to come back to later.

    • @prodigalrestorations
      @prodigalrestorations 5 місяців тому

      That's very cool. Yes I have seen a lot of them at antique stores and it seems like many people haphazardly restore them. It's very cool that you collect them.

      Evaporust is the brand name. But you can find generic ones. It's basically a chemical that non-harshly removes rust.

  • @Sandburn58
    @Sandburn58 Рік тому

    The first thing you need to figure out is from which side was the pin pushed into the hole. Most old pins used to have a slight taper in them, so in order to remove it, you need to push it out from the small end. If you keep hitting it from the large end, you will be setting it in stronger and stronger.

    Axe looks pretty darn good. I really love using waxes on my handles and using some steel wool to help even out the bluing when you rinse it. Give Real Milk Paint Co and look and a Japanese pull saw for trimming the wedge. Dig the handle at the end as well! 🤘

    • @prodigalrestorations
      @prodigalrestorations Рік тому

    What epoxy did you use? I have an old hatchet that I'm tryin to reuse the handle. There are some gaps in the front and back of the eye. I was thinkin of doin like a cross wedge but idk about that.

    • @prodigalrestorations
      @prodigalrestorations Рік тому

      It's an epoxy meant for fixing fiberglass or wood handles to axes or hammers. I believe I found it on Amazon.
