Finally good to see someone restoring an axe properly. No high shine polish. Good selection of timber and beautiful handle shaping. Good sharpen. One of best videos on UA-cam.
Nice to see you select the natural grain of the wood by splitting the log instead of ripping. Makes for a strong shaft. Thanks for sharing. Happy new year Cheers
I love how you alternate frequencies from low to high and high to low gradually it’s very cool. It’s like a piano going to all the different cords one by one quickly.
I thank you for this great axe restoration. Just like the your camp hatchet restoration this one is just as good if not better, considering the immense effort you put into making the handle. I appreciate your selection of a proper timber and wood grain.
Meh.... I sometimes sand out the pits to make it look nice and buff to a brushed shine before hot bluing . Smoothing the surface helps the blade release from the wood better and bluing is durable protection. Doesn't hurt that the axe looks nice as well. I just finished an almost identical double-bit axe to the one in the video. Nicely smoothed and blued head, looks great and cuts even better. And the bluing (magnetite) takes oil very well. @@supermoon1430
I swung one every summer at a state park in W. NY cleaning up trails and bucking firewood. We were taught to sharpen one side super sharp and the other side more dull. One side for felling and the other for grubbing roots etc. Made sense at the time.
Greetings from Michigan.... Nice restore... When I was a youngster I swung one just like that .. I put a ton of hours on mine... Happy Blessed and prosperous New Year....Martin
One of the best restoration videos yet; thanks. It look like you saved up special wood for the handle. Was that ash wood? Thanks again for great channel.
What sets your videos apart is the audio of the rapid acceleration/deceleration of playback speed. Very original and not very common on the boob tube. Nice work.
Yep, I’m sure of it... that’s a big ass belt sander. Well done young man! I like a natural handle myself. Thanks goodness you didn’t do that stupid burning it with a torch thing.
Like how you did this the proper way, by making the handle first, then restoring the axe head, an making it an actual AXE HEAD and not a goddamned MIRROR LIKE OTHER PEOPLE! PEOPLE THESE DAYS THINK THAT MAKING SOMETHING SHINY MEANS “RESTORING IT” AND IT MAKES ME FURIOUS I’m sorry I had to get that out of my system...
I don’t know if it’s just me but when he is trying to get the axe head off at the start it reminds me of when I was little trying to take my tooth out aha😂
I can't find much info on the correct way to sharpen the two blades. Am I correct in assuming one should be made sharp, while the other more blunt? I know the intention is they serve different cutting curposes. If anyone could give me recommended sharpening angles for each of the blades, that'd be useful.
If your useing it to split made it somewhat sharp but not that sharp because it'll get stuck inside the log if its sharp however if your useing to to cut thing spike shave and stuff like that then yes make it sharp so yes i would make one side sharp other dull that's how mine is oh and if your restoring one leave it in a bucket of water overnight it'll have the wood and wedge swell together although I dont know if that's the correct way my father told me that when I was 12 restoring a craftsman 1970s usa made double bit axe
Ur restoration was perfect a million times better then 98 % of the vids of seen on youtube....just to me one favor and stop using the pole of ur single bits as a hammer to bang wedges....its okay to use them to hammer in wooden tent pegs or slam plastic felling wedges...but not hammer on metal...it can and evently will mushroom ur poll, spread ur eye, or crack the poll and eye
Hvor finder du de forskellige økser du restaurere? Restaurere også selv økser men kan ikke finde så mange. Også virklig fedt arbejde du gør. Er også ca. lige så gammel som dig og laver det samme.
flot stykke arbejde! Jeg har restaureret mange stykker håndværktøj og det er mere eller mindre sådan jeg gør det. Jeg finder først ud af nu at du er dansk, haha! Hvordan får du dog fat i en tveægget økse? Jeg måtte tage til USA for at få fat i en

Thank you very much!

Now thats how to hang an axe! Nice, tidy handle too. Nice work. Thanks for not burning the handle and sanding off.
Finally, someone restoring an axe and knows what they're doing. Thank you
The cat at the end really brought the video full circle
furry fatso;d
an incredible restoration well done and im so glad that u didnt get rid off the patina and turn the thing into goddamn mirror
Thanks mate. I did think about it but it's a tool first not an art piece.
I thank you for this great axe restoration. Just like the your camp hatchet restoration this one is just as good if not better, considering the immense effort you put into making the handle. I appreciate your selection of a proper timber and wood grain.
Thanks for not turning the metal into a damn mirror
You're welcome
Yeah a lot of the restoration guys on UA-cam do things for show make things look stupid
Super Moon what shiny looks stupid?

TheGhung Fu I let my axes get a patina and oil them
A beautiful axe and an adorable cat

I love restorations because they use both wood and a little bit of medal working. Good job!

Thanks Martin!
I'm here in Michigan too!!!
You show more skill than most of the 'dudes' twice your age! Great job! THANK YOU FOR NOT BEING PRETENTIOUS WITH THE MIRRORED AXE HEAD!
I love the axe restorations
Me too
Genius work. The content and the editing.
What a great cat, too.
I like that I can enjoy your videos without sound :) sometimes very helpful in certain situations
This video is another reason to celebrate this day. Nice work
Amazing work! Nice to see you’ve acquired a new belt sander and handsaw
Great job nice to see things brought back to life and great workmanship you should be proud .
I love how the time was taken to make the handle out of a rough cut piece of lumber. Nice job.
I love all the flash fast forwards. Do a shave horse build, a standing shave horse. Cool vid dude.
Looks better than on Instagram amazing work man!
That’s a very fine axe well done 👍
Always a pleasure watch your vids. Have a great time with yours and a happy New Year.
Great video I need some of mine to pop off! I need to get back into it! Goodjob!
great job on the handle
Good to see an old art still living
An axe from my home state! #michigan for the win!
wonderful job on the handle
Happy New year from Chile! Hope 2019 is great for you and your channel!
I like his strategy. Using a hatchet to make an axe handle
Love the handcrafted touch! How long did you season the wood before making use of it ?
Very nice job❤
looks great, amazing work
I like this fairly old-fashioned restoration. For the most part you used old tools.
One of the best restoration videos yet; thanks. It look like you saved up special wood for the handle. Was that ash wood? Thanks again for great channel.
I haven't watched the video yet but so happy to see any of your stuffs today. Just wanna say happy new year to you and take good care of yourself 🤗🤗🤗
That turned out beautiful btw..
Thanks God you have not polished that axe. Nice handle, nice sensible restoration
Appreciate it. Thank you!
Great vid, I love that cat!
cat be like wtf i am doing here ???
Wadd dem hell
“Guess I’ll scratch”
What kind of wood did you use for the handle?
What sets your videos apart is the audio of the rapid acceleration/deceleration of playback speed. Very original and not very common on the boob tube. Nice work.
Thank you very much! Appreciate feedback on editing!
Yep, I’m sure of it... that’s a big ass belt sander.
Well done young man! I like a natural handle myself. Thanks goodness you didn’t do that stupid burning it with a torch thing.
I love how at the end you were trying to chop that log harder with your power.
perfect. also, nice asmr.
Молодца дружище! Well done buddy!
ps кот хорош - the сат is good
Well done 👍

Nice handle. Love to see you restore it for use not show.

6:58 when my parents aren’t home
Is there something that can be sprayed onto the head to remove rust without damaging the existing handle?
Cat was the perfect touch at the end
Awesome job on the handle 👍🏻 but still should put a metal wedge in it.
I don’t know if it’s just me but when he is trying to get the axe head off at the start it reminds me of when I was little trying to take my tooth out aha😂
Молодец, с Новым годом!
What kind of pants are those? I would like to have a pair myself.
Happy new year mate. Love your videos from Australia. I was wondering what types of wood you have access to and how you source it? Cheers.
That cat is like: "YES! Fresh crackles on teh log!"
good,you are awaesome

You should burn the wood before you put the linseed oil on it. It makes it stronger and looks good
Nice...😉
o cara usa um Machado pra fazer o cabo de outro kkkk muito bom.
Great wrok
One hellova Palm swell at 6:50🤣🤣
Mr.Make N' Create, what pocket knife do you use?
Currently the kizer cutlery kala wouldn't recommend if you want a small pocket knife.
I just noticed he is using his restored camp hatchet
It will keel.
What was wrong with the old handle?
very cool
I have one of these and I live in Michigan.
Ur restoration was perfect a million times better then 98 % of the vids of seen on youtube....just to me one favor and stop using the pole of ur single bits as a hammer to bang wedges....its okay to use them to hammer in wooden tent pegs or slam plastic felling wedges...but not hammer on metal...it can and evently will mushroom ur poll, spread ur eye, or crack the poll and eye
Did you get a new grinder
Yes!
good video
What make is the axe?
Is it snowing yet in Denmark?
Nope. Atleast where I am.
Very helpful thank you. All, please do not use a ball peen hammer on your axe eye. Use 1/4' chisels, small drill bits, and a punch.
Hvor finder du de forskellige økser du restaurere? Restaurere også selv økser men kan ikke finde så mange. Også virklig fedt arbejde du gør. Er også ca. lige så gammel som dig og laver det samme.
Where do you get a belt grinder that big
Scantool
@@MakeNCreate ok thanks
Are you from Denmark?
Yes
Everybody has a story if you take away its scratches and its marks you take away it story.
Every blade
he's restoring an axe... With an axe
You put a cat in the video for much more like ? xD
True :)
Good 1
Good 2
Manda esse gato fazer uma dieta com massa mandei até o like aí
Yesterday i bought a restored double bit michigan axe for 90 bucks it is a 6o year old axe.
That's so new that you can get a brand new one at the hardware shop or a new handle costs hardly anything
There's no skill or stress relief in buying a new one though
10/10
Cool
Oh that's what happened then. Ok thanks
You should make a baseball bat,please make one
God video og cool økse
I see what you did there
Simon W.S What?
