I can understand that peace it can bring. I'm still working on a 10" double bit axe that has over 120 hrs involved with hand filing, polishing the head and the work on the handle. Still a good bit before I finish it out. All the hours are a great escape from the daily rat race. Polish away jojojeep1
I found my great uncles axe after it sat in a (not too watertight) shed for nearly 30 years. I used it to chop some stump roots as it was - rusty and blunt. I came online to see what could be done, and saw your video...wow.....phenomenal job...great video thanks for posting
I have recently completely restored a couple of broad axes that were very badly rusted i started with a 9 inch grinder and worked down to grinding flap wheels and finally 1200 paper then buffing compound i found the finish you get depends on how much you are willing to sweat and your attention to detail. After all the hard work they are only ever going to be a wall hangers and i keep the mirror finish by spraying it with a clear metal lacquer - Rust Guard - Clear Guard I found it with the metal protecting spray cans at a hardware store here in Australia I spray it on all my shiny wall mounted saws guns and axes sprayed the wife's silver platter over 10 years ago and its still perfect. Keep shining Cheers.
"After all the hard work they are only ever going to be a wall hangers..." that's exactly what I thought of, while watching this video, after so much effort nobody would ever want to use this axe again :D :D
Sir, before a preventable accident happens to you, please anchor your polish-grinder appropriately. Other than that drawback, great job produced and great video overall.
Morgan Freeman Mr. Freeman, thank you Sir. As a side-note, please allow me to congratulate you on your Series involving GOD. Thank you Sir, once again, for your professional work. Enjoyable.
@@robstone5333 I think the primary concern is if the wheel catches a long object between itself and the table and the wheel could then propel itself into other objects or the ground.
@@noonagon1 I agree with you even though everyone has there own way I guess, but I always go in one direction weather I'm sanding wood going with the grain or if I'm sanding metal. Anytime I tried to switch directions I got very poor results
Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor. In '87, Huey released this, Fore, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip to be Square", a song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself.
At 5:00 you are definitely correct as that happened to me this week! I thought I went over it good enough through 240 grit so when I hit it with 400 grit I found out that nope, all the lines were left and I had to go back down to 120 then 240 to correct it.
Merci! I now see where I went wrong I needed to sand more with higher grit paper before going to the buffing wheel. Guess another trip to Princess Auto
Thanks for the helpful video. What does "dressing" the buffing wheel mean? Just knocking off the old polish compound with a screwdriver? I've seen other videos where they have a separate buffing pad for each compound, but the dressing method seems cheaper.
Nice work. I just did my first shine-up of an axe head for my latest axe restoration vids. Lots of work and I didn't get it anywhere near the same finish as you got.
I would love to have the time to make a show axe. However, axes for me are for using, not for just admiring and looking at. But thanks much for the great video!
Nice, I have some golf clubs that I found stored in the shed and they are still oiled and shiny. Then I remembered 4 yrs ago I had cleaned the rust off, polished then oiled them.
Dave S I used the white compound to finish it. The coumpound was given to me many years ago so I don't know what it's called. I noticed that Amazon sell compound. Maybe read the reviews. Very rewarding to make something shine and look pretty. Good luck!
An axe polished to this degree looks amazing but will you actually split wood with it and if so, how long before you're needing to go through this process again? Thanks for sharing this process. atb!
+Valerifon1 I highly doubt this axe will go back in service as a woodcutter, it's probably been made into either a ceremonial axe (firefighter ceremonies) or a display piece (wall hanger). If you cut wood even one time you would ruin that perfect finish and would defeat the purpose of all that sanding and polishing. But, I will admit it looks awesome. I didn't notice a makers mark or brand on that axe. I wonder if he sanded it off, if so he may have lost some of the value, maybe, but you can't argue with that beautiful finish.
+Valerifon1 Actually yes. A highly polish face is an incredibly smooth face. An incredibly smooth face does not suffer from grip issues, and so such as axe will not get stuck in the wood, should it not completely split. As long as you are careful, using a wooden chopping block, and you oil your axe head after each use (a thin coat prevents water causing rust, or at least minimizes), then occasional maintenance keeping the polish up is all that's needed. Due to a polished face slipping through wood more easily, the more polished it is, the less it will come up against resistance from the wood. The more polished it is, the less polishing you will need to do in future. Blunt axes don't go where you want them to go, polished axes (assuming you can use an axe properly) will, first time. However, this axe head has a massive nick in the bit, so no, THIS one would make a crap axe.
Great Video Sir, Thank you very much for sharing it with us, I just followed your example and but a fantastic Mirror finish on my Becker BK2 and my Gransfor Bruks Axe
Because if you sharpen it first you have to spend 6 hours avoiding a sharp axe flying back at you every pass with the flap discs and the polishing wheels on the bench grinder.
Brilliant video, especially when you say how long it takes. So many vids never say how long things take..could be 5 mins or 5 hrs!! Inspired me to go to a boot sale, bought a rusty old club hammer for a quid with no handle. Polished it like a mirror, and made a new fat oak handle. Dead chuffed....many thanks for a great video
I admire the patience and attention to detail involved, but even that beautiful mirror finish can't distract from those flaws in the edge. Of course it's easy for me to be a Monday morning quarterback. Keep up the beautiful work.
If you stay away from the first few inches of the toe, you can avoid messing up the temper. You can use a tig or even a mig to fill deep gouges, as long as you go bo more then a few MM at a time, and dip your project in cool water often. It takes close to 600-650°+ at the toe to seriously mess up the temper. High heat in concentrated areas, away from the toe isn't really a problem. You can also re-temper it yourself and make a video👍.
Soft wheel, hard wheel, compound this, compound that, working the wheel...WTF?? You've lost me at the flap disc and hand sanding paper.. After that I didn't have a clue what you're talking about or what you're using...
What the fuck are you doing with an un-anchored grinder like that? are you mad? Do you know what would happen if it tips over and it's still spinning at that speed? it would shoot like a projectile and could seriously injure you... PLEASE anchor it!
OMG the pain..... u should do 40 grit (get rid all the scratch), 240 grit, and jump to 600 grit, and 2000 grit.... i think i can save 4 hour time.... maybe.... hehehe
I just watched a video where a guy was polishing ports in a motor head. His point was "you'll polish all kinds of stupid stuff, just because you can". This bears that out a little, although it does have some benefits to cutting, and if you wax it when you put it away, will have anti rust storage benefits, as well, if non-conditioned space, as it will shed water if you have a "rain out" in your garage (reached dew point fast temp drop), which has happened to me a couple of times...then you get to sandpaper EVERY ground metal surface in the shop if you happen to miss the event by a couple of days. MUCH easier to wax the surfaces every once in a while, and for jobs where a little wax transfer on them doesn't matter (non gluing, say), the tables, especially sliding like on a table saw, work MUCH better.
Hey what is up fellow UA-camr. Got another question for you. Up until recently I've been polishing hammers and axes like crazy using your methods but now lately I've noticed I'm getting a lot of fine swirl marks and its not as clean. Nothing has changed and I change out my buffing wheels when necessary so its not an old buffing wheel. Maybe I am just not spending enough time on one of the compounds? But which one? Which one is the culprit leaving these swirl marks? I use black, brown, white, and green in that order. I figure i would come back to the polish king for some tips. Thanks!
I don't understand the allure of "patina" on axes. IMO it shows an axe that wasn't taken care of very well. Polished axes look much better and helps Ward off corrosion and dirt.
For future reference, and make your life easier.... never skip from 40g to 120g..... 40, 80, 180 (skip 120, or use it if you want) and then 220 or 320 ... so on
I f you hadn't shown this, I would never have believed that it was possible to obtain such a good finish, by using only simple tools and a lot of patience. Better than new! Thank-you. *But for safety's sake, please bolt that wheel down before you injure yourself or a bystander!*
Show us the other side of the axe...oiled palm fingerprints are there. I cant polish my metal items without any fingerprint. How can we manage this problem?
I just bought a vintage Collins axe head. Would you recommend this polishing process on an axe head with a makers mark? The head is in pretty good shape just minor rust. Could I skip the lower grit sand paper and start with the higher grit. Any advice you have would be appreciated. You did an outstanding job on that axe head, it blew me away
+John Robinson It's up to you if you want to polish your name brand axe. An axe always look amazing once polished but having said that, I would never polish my Gransfors Bruk axe. I am proud to own a Gransfors Bruk axe and want to keep it original with the hammer marks on it. It shows that it was hand made. If your axe is in really good shape, you can probably skip the lower grit and start with 200 grit. If you have scratches on your axe that your fingernail goes in, then you definitely need to start with 40 grit. Gilbert
bolt down the bench grinder.... grrrr... you make your own life so much harder. Other than that i hope you put a good handle on that axe head. looks really nice :)
Good question. It will look awesome.. but it will stick in the trees... a rough finish leaves less of the head in firm contact with the cut making it easier to remove.
You assume I searched for a video about polishing axes, when it could have just come up in the queue, as it did. Also, it is reasonable to surmise that the reason for the polishing of the might be included in the video. However, it was not.
40 grit then 80 grit then 100 grit then 180 grit then 220 grit then 320 grit then 400 grit the 600 grit then 1000 grit then 1200 grit then 2000 grit then 3000 she is ready for the car show
I would like to try this on an old double head axe. Can you tell me where you buy the flap wheels and polishing compound and buffing wheels. Thanks
Walt Burnham Harbour Freight (if you have one near you) sells everything you would need.
how your address
how materials used you
please send me price of hand grinder.and buf moter set fully please give reply.send me catalog also.
Amazon is a good place as well.
When I get bored, or angry, or I just having anxiety, I polish metal things. It brings my mind back in tune, the Ax head Looks beautiful
I can understand that peace it can bring. I'm still working on a 10" double bit axe that has over 120 hrs involved with hand filing, polishing the head and the work on the handle.

That axe is a beaut. Thank you for your time and effort in making the video so we could learn from you.
most competition loggers have axes all polished up and razor sharp.good save on that head.
That’s how it’s done! Brilliantly chilled approach. Thank you for the guidance
Great video! I’ve been polishing some metals and this video gave me a good idea on how to get a shinier finish on my metal
shoulda clamped the buffer down versus chasing it across your bench,eh?
Wow! Thanks for the video. I have never polished anything before and now I know exactly what to do
F nm
The axe head looks excellent.
A tip: use different angles for each sandpaper grit size. You can immediately see if you're done getting out the scratches of the courser grit.
Xiph1980 not supposed to when refinishing an axe.
You are supposed to. It makes it much easier without any significant change.
@@noonagon1 I agree with you even though everyone has there own way I guess, but I always go in one direction weather I'm sanding wood going with the grain or if I'm sanding metal. Anytime I tried to switch directions I got very poor results

French River Springs best video on axe head restoration
I refurbish Wilton vises , I always get comments from people. " why did you make it pretty?"my answer is why not?
Honestly I'm going to make mine shine and keep all the little defects
Great video & very impressive work
Wow, you Polish people know how to make a Axe shine!!!!
Polish know how to polish !
Merci!

Well,JUST GREAT!!!!Now it's too damn pretty to use!Hope you feel happy about yourself!
Excellent job getting that mirror finish. This is the best video so far I've found on the subject recently.
Now it looks to nice to use
Great job on that axe.
Better than chrome.
Chrome doesn’t have that much depth to it
Could you have sped up the process by going from 40 - 80 - 120 grits?
And what was the paste you used at the 320 grit before using WD-40?
Need item list.. please
Nice work buddy 👌
That is just amazing! How much did that restauration cost? (Just an approximation) Seems like a great hobby
Awesome man
Nice, I have some golf clubs that I found stored in the shed and they are still oiled and shiny. Then I remembered 4 yrs ago I had cleaned the rust off, polished then oiled them.

What do you put on the axe head to prevent rust?? Do you just use car wax, or something like BoeShield??

Great Video Sir, Thank you very much for sharing it with us, I just followed your example and but a fantastic Mirror finish on my Becker BK2 and my Gransfor Bruks Axe
very nice finish... inspired me to take some of my resto projects to a new level👍
So to keep this mirror shine, what would you use to protect the finish??m
very impressive !!
Why didn't you fix that big ass chip first.. ..
Plutonium2222 its on the edge of the axe head, near the middle
because he can always do it later...
Because if you sharpen it first you have to spend 6 hours avoiding a sharp axe flying back at you every pass with the flap discs and the polishing wheels on the bench grinder.
Looks great. Doing the same thing with some brackets off an olds 455. haven't got them quite than shiny. Hard to get a perfect mirror with cast iron.
Brilliant video, especially when you say how long it takes. So many vids never say how long things take..could be 5 mins or 5 hrs!!
Inspired me to go to a boot sale, bought a rusty old club hammer for a quid with no handle. Polished it like a mirror, and made a new fat oak handle. Dead chuffed....many thanks for a great video
Put a piece rubber inner tube on each corner of the polisher...prevents it from moving without having to bolt it down.
I admire the patience and attention to detail involved, but even that beautiful mirror finish can't distract from those flaws in the edge. Of course it's easy for me to be a Monday morning quarterback. Keep up the beautiful work.

Looks great, why don't you fit a nice handle and sharpen up the edge.
I did sharpen up the edge and post it on UA-cam. I made the handle from scratch also but sadly forgot to make a video.
You have inspired me to shine up one of my old axes. If you have to chop wood you may as well do it in style :)
David Pollard :)
Show us the other side of the axe...oiled palm fingerprints are there. I cant polish my metal items without any fingerprint. How can we manage this problem?
Good english, most other french "quebequers" (i'm gessing you're from Quebec) don't speak that well english
How do you keep it like that? Wouldn’t it just get rusted again?

+French River Springs Gransfors are drop forged.
+Saul Japuntich No, they are not.
Christopher Long Go visit their forge. It's open to the public. They use trip hammers and drop forging to produce the axeheads.
By the way, please don't start an internet argument. Let's be fair and civil so as not to attract the trolls.
American Psycho anyone? XD
Should have used a corded drill instead of cordless. Much faster
great job all you have to do now is sharpen it
Mark Frost I did sharpen it! See it in my other videos. Cheers!
bolt down the bench grinder.... grrrr... you make your own life so much harder.
Other than that i hope you put a good handle on that axe head. looks really nice :)
This Is the video Ive been looking for, finally, thank you. You do awesome work.
Can you tell us where you got the polish compounds and specifically what grade each color is. I want to order those
Why would an axe need a mirror finish? It's a tool, for chopping wood, not a wedding ring.
Why would one polish an axe?
Christopher Delich cuts better looks better why not
Good question. It will look awesome.. but it will stick in the trees... a rough finish leaves less of the head in firm contact with the cut making it easier to remove.
Christopher Delich why would one watch an instructional video on how to polish an axe, and then ask that question?
You assume I searched for a video about polishing axes, when it could have just come up in the queue, as it did. Also, it is reasonable to surmise that the reason for the polishing of the might be included in the video. However, it was not.
Because ladies love it when a guy properly looks after and maintains his chopper!
Question now is, how to prevent oxidation and rusting from air, when its kept for display
40 grit then 80 grit then 100 grit then 180 grit then 220 grit then 320 grit then 400 grit the 600 grit then 1000 grit then 1200 grit then 2000 grit then 3000 she is ready for the car show
when you have enough time to polish an old axe but not enough time to screw down your bench grinder...
Nice job. I too am a polishing junkie.
Bolt that buffer down!
bloody hell that amazing beautiful work
