Hi guys!👋 Do you know I make different things as well ? Check this video out, I'm so proud of the final result... ua-cam.com/video/uql5K6ia3QE/v-deo.html
Great workmanship. I love turned wood handles. They are nice and smooth. More importantly they are symmetrical. Having said that, the portion of handle where you grip, I would have liked it better if you shaped it more into oval. That way you can index the tool more easily. Just my thought. Nice working tool.
@@FALCON390Workshop Yes, just turn it a little oversize, then flatten the sides with a rasp or sander. That way your brain knows the orientation of the head as soon as you pick it up.
Respectible job. My compliments. Here's a tip for you. The first step when sharpening an axe or hatchet is to use a good file to (1) remove any chips and/or burrs from the edge and (2) to give yourself a clean surface to start your cutting edge on. Then use the file to create the cutting edge and desired angle. After doing all this work, then use the stone for a good edge. Like the handle.
As I think somebody else pointed out earlier, the tool is actually a drywall axe- the ball peen is for setting ringed drywall nails below the surface of the drywall (not used so much since the advent of drywall screws, and even less since cordless drills became ubiquitous), and the slender profile of the not very sharp hatchet head was designed for quick and nasty trimming during installation of buckled corners on sheets which turned out to have been cut a bit long. While it might have been nice to put an edge on the axe blade which could actually score a sheet for cutting as well, I don’t think that was ever really the purpose of the blade on these. What is crucially important for a tool like this, though, is being able to accurately index the tool in your hand to get the angle of the hammer head or the blade correctly oriented- a cylindrical handle turned on a single centre is fine for a chisel or a slick, but not the thing needed for a tool like this. I’m nobody’s idea of an expert turner, but I’ve done a couple of offset turned oval section hammer handles on my very low end lathe- it’s definitely not rocket science, and there are lots of decent tutorials out there on offset or eccentric turning which you should look up if you want to put a handle on a beating iron of any kind.
@@Michael-ul8bv the closest thing to stone this was designed to work with was Gyprock (tm) or Sheetrock (tm). I’m old enough to have actually used one of these to hang drywall back in the day. Look up drywall axe or riggers axe on Google, and you’ll find photos. Similar tools were used before the advent of drywall to hang wooden lath for plaster, and to make quick and nasty adjustments to framing as needed when doing so. When the transitional technology of 2 foot wide sheets of paper faced gypsum board lath began to be used under a thinner scratch coat and finish coat of plaster in the 1950s, riggers axes came along for the ride, and they hung in through the evolution to 4’ wide sheets of drywall with taped joints and no full skim coat. They fell away from the drywall trade around the time screws replaced nails, which was sooner in some places than others. Stone masons always use a chisel of one kind or another which can be positioned precisely on the stone and held there while struck, usually with a heavier hammer than these were.
That axe/hammer head is badass! I found an extremely rare Shapeleigh, right hand, flooring hammer... yeah SCORE! But, it's cracked along the eye. Drag! I'm going to send it to Keith Fenner (TurnWright Machine Works, Cape Cod...) and see if he can repair the crack. Not to original strength, just enough to keep the handle from flying off. It will only be used for splitting kindling and light hammering. Oh, BTW, those handles aren't going to be driven out unless you relieve some of the wedge. Just drill out some of it. Otherwise you could end up cracking the head. Just saying.
....plus time at 40 cents an hour. These jobs are done for the love of the process, the end results and the knowledge that you saved it from the scrap pile. Every time you use it you will will be reminded of your intimate relationship with it.....now thats value!
Falcon- Just a suggestion for your future restorations. Consider not using paint for your "Striking Tools", (IE Axes, Hammers or that material). Oil Blackening is actually better and protects the surfaces of the steel alloys better than paint. Plus no worries on damaging a paint job, just heat and re-quench in oil, polish and your done. Just my humble opinion...
Very nice! Super cool axe also!! I have made lots of handles and I love round handles but it can be very hard to index them. Or know where the bit is landing without checking. May want to put some flats on the sides if it ever bothers you! Great job man!!
For me it's a great work. Weldone...However I have a question.. Why did you spend so many wd-40 and you didn't you choose the electrolysis or vinegar which are more cheaper? I'm just wondering.. Weldone again...
I have not realise how much WD-40 i use and in this video I turned it as a joke showing it. The electrolysis and vinegar do the good job and I like to use it. This time I wanted to try something like proper rust remover.
Very nicely done . This axe has to have a particular purpose, that l can't see. The mix of an axe (wood work related) with a ball peen ( metal work related ) is a bit strange .
Hola Te quedó muy bien,eso se llama reciclar una herramienta, ahora va a durar 100 años más y algún dia caera en manos de otro restaurador.😃👍bien hecho. Solo cuida tus manos, unos guantes no caen mal. Saludos desde Panamá.
Это не рабочий топор, а боевой чекан, это он из него сделал туристическую тяпку по незнанию. Вместо молотка на обухе делали ещё клевец для пробивания доспеха, а топорища на них делались именно круглыми и раза в три длиннее.
Beautiful work, but i have a question. If you were going to soak it in rust remover anyways, why do abrasive rust removal in the first place? Just seems like you’re taking off more metal than you needs to. Other than that you did a an amazing job.
killian mcfadden Didn’t say I didn’t like it. Just said that it still needed work since the cutting edge is still so thick. The “blacksmith” has a great idea. Just didn’t go far enough. Otherwise it would have been more useful as a hammer. Taper the blade more and it would be a good hatchet.
Round handles are hard to index and can be dangerous. Otherwise nice job. Whomever forged that ball peen out should have thinned the blade some more...but that's not this guy's deal.
You have given a more important the handle but not to the axe, the spittings are left over as it is which is not correct the angle maintained for cutting action is not at all correct. Once you have taken this project means it must be superb but unfortunately it's below the expectations. I am unhappy.
I think you need to hone up your sharpening skill That drawknife wouldn’t cut butter The finished article was nowhere sharp enough Keep trying though God loves a tryer

To j rhee
You are right. Handle should be oval for such tools so that they do not turn in your hand.
For those without a lathe, I've been cutting down thrift store baseball bats for handles. Hard wood, tight grain and cheap.
Dude, hot tip! I've been wondering about how many Hickory trees have been chopped down for baseball bats.
Nice one 👍
Hmm that's a good question
Nice job thanks for sharing 🍺🍺👍👍👍
Many thanks
Very Good Restoration

I'll have a go with offset turning and replace the handle. Cheers :)
It's for cutting stone the axe part scores the stone and the hammer part cracks it

Very nice
Thanks
Great work, looked like it should in the end, it's now a very nice, useable tool and NOT a gimmicky, shiny paperweight! 🤣🥃
...in the end 🤣 thanks. I like the results too
"I am Falcon390, and I'm a WD40aholic..."
Hehe 😂
You know another Someone? Kkkkk
Good video...you don’t need to sand or shine it.....it’s an axe, not a knife....great restoration....it looks like it should!
But the higher grit finish you have on the sides of the axe the better it'll bite and release from the wood.
Cheers 👍
hi man great work
Thanks👍
olenick 7734 Where is your reference for this as a "Carpenter's Axe"? Looks to me like someone put an axe end on a Machinist's Hammer.
Well, that's basically what happened. Someone reforged the face of a ball pein hammer into an axe blade.
It's a auto body tool.
@@tiftonmeeks9199 it's a carpenter's framing hammer referred to as a rig axe. It is an old one
It's a tool for whatever it is going to work well on 👍
No (re) temper ?
Didn't want to mess the temper up.
Amazing
👍
Interesting very good
Thank you! Cheers!
Muito bom seu trabalho parabéns , gostei muito !

Thank you
a ROUND HANDLE IS HARD TO INDEX WHEN USING AND MAYBE A HAZARD WITH AN AXE OR HATCHET
I get this. Cheers
Love the wood turning, but do not think i’d be able to make 2 identical items.
Practice makes perfect
WD-40....more WD-40...a little bit more WD-40🤣🤣... great work as always!!
Thank you!

Timber is the tree or log before cutting into lumber. Lumber could be board, plank, 2x4, etc.Just a lil reminder
So, is a timber-framed house a tree-house?

Good video work. Nice camera work.
Thanks. Glad you like it
Adjust the lathe to the handle of the ax, apply the candle then press it with your own shavings.
Thanks for feedback
Thank you for not making a hand forged tool look like you just bought it at Dollar General. All shiny and pretty.
Wow, thank you!
i love the shop you have !!!!!! :
A small pallet shed. My very first video shows building process if you interested.
Thanks for your comment 👍
Nice work. It is a Carpenter's Axe used in post and beam work the hammer end for nailing or driving pegs (although a Mallet is better for pegs ) Peace
Thanks for that

Little WD-40! Need more!!! :-)
It's never too much 😂
I saw a WD-40 advertisement right before this video. The algorithm knows.
Hehe. Good one 👍
Nice looking hatchet. It almost looks like an old roofing hammer. 👍
It's missing some Features but it does look like the one I have
Thanks. Many people comment that this is a roofing hatcher 🤔
Топорами и молотками с круглой рукояткой заставляли работать в качестве наказания. Попробуйте - поймёте почему.
Это не рабочий топор, а боевой чекан, это он из него сделал туристическую тяпку по незнанию. Вместо молотка на обухе делали ещё клевец для пробивания доспеха, а топорища на них делались именно круглыми и раза в три длиннее.
Мало вэдэшки! Нужно больше!!!
OK thanks
That tool is for cutting stone
Thanks for that info. Appreciate
👍👍❤️

Thats a screwdriver, not a prybar.
It works well thou
Ładny toporek.U nas w Europie w Polsce takiego jeszcze nie widziałem.Dobra praca👍
Thank you 👍
Kinda looks like an old roofing hammer, part hammer to drive the nails, and part hatchet to split the wooden shingles.
To me it looks like a ball pin hammer made in to an axe
Ball peen hammer
Petrus Liebenberg you can also buy them like that if you know where to look
👍
Sheet metal hammer used to bend and shape sheet metal might be called a cross peen
Thanks for that.

Beautiful work, but i have a question. If you were going to soak it in rust remover anyways, why do abrasive rust removal in the first place? Just seems like you’re taking off more metal than you needs to. Other than that you did a an amazing job.
It's just to see how the axe looks like before i decide what to do with it.
In other words I like to work with clean project.
WD40 stays in business because of this guy.
🤣🤣🤣that's a good one. Cheers
Think I may have been a ball pien hammer forged into an axe
He said that
Maybe
Someone made an “axe” out of a ball pene hammer. Looks like it should have stayed a hammer or it still needs work to be an axe.
British army used axes that style you may not like it but it does the job
killian mcfadden
Didn’t say I didn’t like it. Just said that it still needed work since the cutting edge is still so thick. The “blacksmith” has a great idea. Just didn’t go far enough. Otherwise it would have been more useful as a hammer.
Taper the blade more and it would be a good hatchet.

Does It need to shiny ? 🤔
that not a full restored axe that half way work the blade is not razor sharp as well it never been polish as well, he need different hobby then this.
that not full sentence punctuation not half way good writer not half way sharp as well, he need different hobby then making stupid comments. Dolt.
