I'm shaking my head in disbelief at how beautiful this restoration is David! Love the axe head and the handle is a work of art. And that stump has seen a LOT of splitting!!! God bless you David! ❤️🙏🏼
Same. I watched a video of a guy fixing a firearm with “just a few simple steps,” then proceeded to use several custom made machines costing tens of thousands of dollars. Meanwhile I have a hammer I bought 4 years ago to mount a picture frame
You don't need anything expensive if you're just willing to work harder on it. I'd give it a shot if you're passionate about it and enjoy it. I don't have any of this expensive stuff. I've got sandpaper that I sand things by hand with, a couple files, vinegar/rust remover, and some spare time. Things don't turn out perfect, but doing it by hand will leave you with a pretty cool look that speaks to the age of the items, and adds character. You'll end up gathering a pretty awesome looking collection of old antiques restored by hand. Give it a shot! Low investment, but potentially a big payoff if enjoy doing it.
@@CoolAgainRestoration How was the balance on that axe?? As for the hole, I would've used a welder to fill it in, but that etching was a cool idea, just time consuming.
That is one BEAUTIFUL restoration! Thanks very much for showing us all the steps. That’s master craftsmanship in action, wow. Such a gorgeous beautiful tool.
My dad was an old pattern maker/model maker that served a 5 year apprenticeship in the shipyards of Sunderland and Newcastle England. All the yards were closing so he brought us to America after he was recruited by Northrop Aircraft. He could make anything in any medium. Hearing all your tools working brings back memories. I still have some of his woodwork. I love to see craftsmen doing their work. Old well made things getting a new life is great to see in this plastic age we live in.
I love the way the rust has revealed the grain of the forged steel and shows where the hard edge is inserted into the folded body before forge welding. I haven't finished the video yet, but I hope you re-weld that cutting edge - it's come away in areas, by the looks of it.
-- Bad, BAD idea. Welding will destroy the hardening and the tempering of the steel. You can re-harden and re-temper the steel of course but using a filler rod or filler wire to build up the missing section of the cutting edge isn't going to be viable. While it may look okay, that section of the cutting edge will not harden or temper the same way nor at the same level of hardness as the rest of the edge will. Why? Because it's just filler rod... so you're doomed before you even start. Actual repair goes one of two ways. One, do as the author of the video did and remove material via grinding... OR two: heat up and reforge the entire cutting edge section of the axe head. There you have it! Best wishes! - Max Giganteum
My wife has a collection of antique farm tools and pulleys from her grandma's family farm. I have wanted to send one to you to turn you loose them, but she keeps refusing. Maybe one day one of them will just disappear! 😂
I don't know if you're wife's tools are worth anything, but the second you do anything to restore them you ruin the value. The axe head he started with in the video was so far gone it wasn't worth anything, so he didn't hurt anything. I collect antique tools, I just wipe them down with oil.
Perfecțiune! Filmele tale parcă evocă talentul meșteșugarilor din alte vremuri reînviat în prezent și amplificat cu ajutorul tehnologiei moderne. Felicitări!
I will not use it anymore because the time I take to write the reason I used that chisel on the steel , took me a lot , for explaining to everyone who complained about 😅 so , I use that chisel on steel and these kind of jobs because that chisel is badly made. It is made from a bad steel , became dull very quickly after sharpening and I decided to use it only on this dirty jobs. I bought another set of chisels , more quality and I use them for what they was invented . Cheers mate !
@@CoolAgainRestoration I got lectured on one of the forums for using a digital caliper for scribing lines on steel parts, never mind that I was using a beater caliper that cost 10 bucks quite a few years ago, and my expensive Mitutoyo and Starrett calipers are safely oiled and kept in cases, along with my other precision tooling. Some people just need to feel like they know better than the rest of us.

Thank you sir for sharing your processes. I used to think that one of your most difficult restorations was the old cash register but at least it came with road map to take apart, restore, reassemble. When it comes to an old ax head you don't really have a guide book to tell you how long the handle should be or a visual cue as to what the ax head originally looked like. Your talent and dedication leave me in awe. Thanks for putting in the time to film, edit, add subtitles, and educate all of us. #Ax #restoration
Friends, what a good video! I really appreciate the work with the subtitles, it is very convenient for LATAM. They encourage me to learn about engines and mechanics. Greetings from Argentina.😎😎
A very good job, well done. I can't say how much I appreciate the fact that you can properly hang an axe head. It seems like every other restoration channel does it wrong.
Thanks a lot Mark and glad you appreciate this things . Yeah , I don’t understand when I see other people too but , I’m not from axe police so I can’t do nothing …
@@CoolAgainRestoration No worries. I'm no lumberjack, however I do know how to properly hang an axe head and you did a fantastic job. My only recommendation is that instead of beechwood I would've used American Hickory or Ash wood.
I've never forged my own steel, but I've worked with old steel before and as many times as I see it, I'm always impressed how much the grain in steel looks like wood.
As someone who has done a lot of axe restorations, this was outstanding as per your usual work. I can't even wrap my head around the precision you have in measurements and technique. Always a joy watching your videos! Cheers from Theos_resto.
I always watch one of your videos right before bed, even if it’s one I’ve already seen. They always relax me. Also 3 hours to sandblast?!?! Damn you are patient
I love how you put your heart and soul into every piece! The decoration of the axe head was a brilliant idea as is the gorgeous handle. The overall design is phenomenal, you are a true craftsman! I eagerly await each video for yet another spectacular restoration.🤗🇦🇺
As a knife maker I can appreciate the work gone into this restoration. Your work on the handle material was fantastic. I love your Japanese saw and I'm looking for one. Well done 👏 😊
That sad rusted axe-head is now a thing of beauty with its honed cutting edge and textured body, and the custom-made handle is a work of art too. Congratulations.

My toxic trait is thinking I can do this easily when i can't even afford half of the machines used in this video

Talk is not a problem if you have something to say....

Thank you very much Williams 😊
It should be. For $50 you can buy a Stihl axe ready to use at Ace Hardware.
WOW!!!! You sir have great skills and talent. You created a one of kind work of art.
Thank you very much and glad you enjoyed 👍

Probably you are disappointed 😅
Looking at the grain of the head it looks like it is forged iron and not steel. Actual wrought iron is somewhat hard to find these days.
-- Bad, BAD idea. Welding will destroy the hardening and the tempering of the steel. You can re-harden and re-temper the steel of course but using a filler rod or filler wire to build up the missing section of the cutting edge isn't going to be viable.

it will disappear in a mysterious way that nobody knows 😂😂😂😂😂
Hire Somebody to Steel Just one of them while U are with her in a Restaurant 😂
Please don’t. She might want them in historical condition, not with modern intervention making them aesthetic.
Maybe, just maybe, one day YOU will disappear. Your wife probably will "have no idea" where you went...😅
I don't know if you're wife's tools are worth anything, but the second you do anything to restore them you ruin the value.
The axe head he started with in the video was so far gone it wasn't worth anything, so he didn't hurt anything.

The ax head restoration was impressive but the handle creation and shaping left me spellbound. You’re one talented guy!!! Four stars!!!
Thank you very much , glad you enjoyed 😊
You can hardly call this a restoration. I think you made a beautiful new axe, using metal from an old axe. Great build!
Thanks a lot 👍
i will say i like that it shows the river in the metal, so you know it was done on the forge it is one of the best traits of the forge
Hello mister beautiful axe beautifully restored good job
Thanks a lot Vince and glad you enjoyed 😊👍
