No need to do more than removing the rust and painting with anti-rust paint, depending on the purpose. All shiny or partially shiny were certainly options of the customer.
I kind of get why because the sanding from the plate replacement looks tacky, but If you really want to get technical you could use a variable speed grinder with a low grade scotch bright pad and polished those scratches out. Then you could kind of have the new shiny original look, and of course anti rust it.
Also when you sand with a grinder don't do small little movements. That just makes it dig in more and create more scratches. Go with the contour of the shape your are sanding.
I would've talked the customer into a black oxide instead of that dumb spray paint choice. If I were the craftsman I probably would've told the guy I can't spray paint it but I can apply an actual black oxide and he can ruin it himself if he wants to.
yeah man, not to mention the quality of that metal XD lamo. Funny to think that if you showed this to a ancient black smith they would call it a work made by a god and form at their mouth in disbelief and admiration. While we look at it and see noting but a cheep backyard build. "Its completely round! and so pure! how did he bent this to such shapes"
@@MouseGoat Pretty sure they'd call bullshit even faster. Being people who actually used these weapons and had their lives depend on them as opposed to simply being interested in ancient weapons. "Your methods intrigue me, but your "blade" is laughable."
@@Servellion Cosidering how costly metal was to make and reform they would probably see a huge waste of hard labour. Viking axes were usealy worn down axes reshaped to a battle axe.

Exactly. Then you add in that the patch was significantly more obvious with the paint (like he basically could have just sharpied a bright red circle on the damned thing) and it completely killed it.
I was so impressed and interested in what I was watching until the spray paint came out. I was expecting something more. It's like a skilled metalsmith did everything up to that point then his apprentice said "I've got it from here".
@@grayghost6692 I agree. Also, there are ways to darken steel without paint. I'm pretty disappointed at the turn out. It feels like he did the blade and was like, well... that's a lot of work so far, I'm tired so, let's just spray paint the rest of it to cover up the blemishes.
This is a fantasy axe restore for some one who left it in a leaky shed. It isn't that old and it's not viking. Plus it's made from a couple of pieces of sheet metal not forged.
also completely impractical, doesn't resemble any actual historical war axes, is unusable as practical axe for woodcutting or other civilian activities, Only thing that even comes close are executioner's axes. looks like it was made by someone that has only seen hollywood fantasy
@Tony Smith I can tell you instead. There's holes in an antique item. Then you don't bloody cut out a big part of it. The holes is instead filled in carefully and the excess material removed. And when he send it you see repeated lines from machining. Unforgivable!
@Zane Rodriguez when he heated the blade up with the torch and quenched the blade he could've cause the blade to crack on the inside so that's y he spray painted the blade probably... so basically the blade is useless
News flash: Iron when it isn't polished is BLACK. Plus it's a rust prevention layer! Oh and why WOULD he quench it with oil? Smh don't pretend shit if you don't know the use of it. It's forged anyway, quenching it again is useless. It's water to COOL IT DOWN
anything natural will always be better.... i left my survival knife after restoring it just the way it is... just used some ballistol in the end for protection from rust here on out!
Hi professional knife maker here, some tips on your hardening. 1.Rather get a container that can fit the entire object you're wanting to harden because you'll get an evenly hardened blade. Also use oil instead of water, helps avoid cracking 2. Can use a torch like you have to heat up the blade but make sure the edge at least is evenly heated and use a magnet to check when it's ready to quench. All steels have varying temperatures they'll harden at but they'll become non magnetic when they're ready so heat up evenly alomg the whole edge until magnetic can't stick to it. 3. Sounds like a myth but is real when you harden point the tip north to avoid warping. This is when it becomes magnetic again amd is effected by earth's magnitism. Last thing temper your blade at 180 degrees Celsius for most carbon steel for 1 hour 3 times after it cool to room temperature.
@@sigmundr2148 I thought it was a myth but my boss and I have done tests and it's true. Whenever the quench tank didn't face north all the blades hook northward. When it was pointing noth the blades where straight. Even in vertical quenching if the edge didn't face north it'd hook towards north. So yeah we thought it was a bunch of balcony but it's a genuine thing
I like how the hole in the blade looks like it was made with a welder or plasma cutter cause if it was eaten away by rust the metal would be way weaker and there would be you know rust around the holes
Would be better if it was carbon black oil that is seasoned on through repeated heat treating. The heat treat would also help to normalize the blade tension after edge hardening and welding the plate. The whole blade should have been annealed before edge hardening. It is actually very dangerous to use a heavy plate that might shatter on a long moment arm; probability is higher that a large, heavy, and sharp piece comes flying off.
It would have to be a prop, because that axe will smash to bits when it is smacked against something as hard as bone. His hardening quench was dumb, the metal is meant to be hot enough to not hold a magnet to it, bright orange, to be then quenched. And then you should also know the carbon make up of that metal to decide on a water or oil quench. Water will make it super hard, but more likely to warp, and also crack the metal. Oil quench is safer for people who obviously do not know what they are doing.
Me when they're wiping off the axe initially. "Ooooooo. That's gonna look so pretty when its all silver and shiny" *reads the comments* (Whispers) "no"
So just to let you know when you decided to heat treat your blade as you heated up the different sections of the blade you made the points in between each heat treatment weak and unhardened it is better to try to heat treat the whole blade and not sections at a time!
Not to mention he literally could have just welded the holes filled in and then sanded them as he'd done to the blobs. Would have been LESS weird to do that than go through all the trouble of actually cutting a piece out only to weld a new piece back in, and welding is never as strong.
@@impishrebel5969 yeah definitely this. I thought he was going to open it up and make a small design. literally stencil out the space and grind it down.
2 things, first the holes in it could've been cut into a decorative hole, which was occasionally historically done on weapons. Second, the dang heat treat. The blade wasn't near hot enough for a good quench it needs to be orange. A slightly bright orange but not much hotter, all that happened was normalization (softening) of the steel. And because the "treat" was done in sections, it makes different parts of the blade different steel grains, making it weaker overall. And holy lord he quenched in WATER. That's how you get cracks and fractures in a blade. Quench in oil, never water.
@@jmeister7482 the problem with water is it cools the molecules too fast. And something that's rigid and it gets cooked to quickly, it becomes brittle. As I said, it breaks apart the grain structure of the steel. Oil cools the blade relatively quickly but not too quickly, making it hard with a little bit of flex instead of too hard and very brittle. And yes, the oil does tend to catch fire when you put in a piece of metal that's around 1500 degrees but once you take out the blade, the flame goes out. That just happens. It's not dangerous, especially in an outdoor or well ventilated quench tank
@@redneckfishing9357 the Japanese metallurgists suggested "Quenching in a slave" could have been for several reasons. Iron in the blood, at body temperature, or to add the spirit to the blade. The original text is ambiguous.
Beautiful work and ignore the haters. They have no idea what the customer asked for and it doesn’t matter if it’s not a Viking ax or not you worked hard on it.
@@mandoky1647I do it for a living my ass. prove it that you are a "welder", don't undrestand why all of the sudden everyone pretending to be a welder here in the comment section?
You guys need to stop hating on him for painting it. Did you ever think that's what the person who sent it asked for. Maybe they wanted it painted like that
in my opinion this axe (helebarde) isn't antique...its a pipe with weld attached cheapest sheetmetal blades....Not worth this much work...but you are a very handy guy! And i like that kind of videos..nice work!
I'm a blacksmith, I forge things by hand every day, tools, traditional blacksmith items, blades etc. That is a piece of extruded pipe( probably cold rolled steel) , welded on to a big piece of sheet metal that someone burned through with a torch or welder, then soaked in acid or salt water to rust. Not an antique, not even a real axe to be honest. And its nigh impossible to harden a blade in three separate quenches, probably mild steel anyways, not to be judgmental or anything!! Lol
Like so many before me have said, you had me with you right up until the rattle can came out. No clue why anyone would go through all of that effort and then cover it up with crappy paint applied in the worst way, AKA spray paint. Great work up to that point though.
Okay, so you clearly don't know how to use a rattle can correctly. I assure you, they can do as good a job as an air gun (IE, what does the paint for cars) if you use it correctly. No one uses them correctly, though. They're not like a brush or roller.
Going through the comments that have been made already, there's a lot to take away in this video. Here are my pros and cons: PROS: 1. I like it that this was done with a relatively minimal tool set. Some restorations have endless grinding stones, files, rotary tools, and other bits at their disposal; this one's more approachable. 2. I do like the look of the black vs. polished steel. 3. Attention to detail on the edging and polishing is good. 4. I like the attention to detail when straightening the piece, especially with the bowing marks and applying the torch to let the cooling do a lot of the work. 5. The welding of the square patch shows good welding technique. CONS: 1. The black / shiny contrast could have been achieved with a cold bluing fluid, which would have lasted longer. If you're going to do the paint and call it a restoration, I'd have liked to see some filler in the substantial rust pitting. 2. The edge-hardening exercise seems largely irrelevant, because it looks like the piece is only mild steel and not high-carbon steel. I say this because a) Grinding the object fails the Spark Test, and b) details on how the smaller blade is attached indicates that it was welded and not forged. 3. If you're going to do an edge quench, use oil, not water, and make sure the heat is hot and even before quenching; don't quench in sections. 4. Patching the center of a fairly thick piece like that will create stress fractures in the metal during cooling if you weld in a square. 4a. Instead of replacing the torched-out holes with a metal patch, I'd have cut them out and left the hole, similar to what's done on the small blade.
you're absolutely correct man... your points are strong... the black paint is not restoration and it looks very cheap on that rare piece... and patching the middle part is also not a very good idea... moreover the contours are also left as it and thus the curves are not that smooth, and the pitts arent removed as well... All together, the piece doesnot look that Elegant as it should have after the Restoration, as if it lacks the Dedication, the Art and the Attention that it Actually Deserved..
@@AloneInTheStorms I don't think it is a "rare piece". I'd be really surprised if it were even 50 years old. I don't know much about these things, but I suspect a real Viking axe head would be forged hardened steel, not welded. Looks like a garage project left out in the elements to me.

That ain't a antique. It's mild steel welded to a piece of tubing.
Yeah when you need content you build it and bury it in your yard
@Ria Akter Care enough to comment something two weeks after it was posted XD
@Ria Akter Nothing lol just being silly
Antique is subjective. Some of these kids don’t even know the Animaniacs 🙄
Dude, that black coating looks really bad.
Yes that looked like shit

Yea I agree
News flash: Iron when it isn't polished is BLACK. Plus it's a rust prevention layer!
nowonmetube That doesn’t mean it doesn’t look bad
Lol was wondering why everyone was mad about the paint until I got to point were he was painting it 😂
I also love the show "How it's made"!👍🏻
Watched this video while high and got so into it that when he dipped the blade after heating it my leg flinched😂😂😭😭
Yeah😂😂
It's not good to drink bro
Don't drink
It's says in the bible not to drink and Muslims also believe so
Lool which part?
Absolutely terrible quench, and it absolutely killed me when you spray painted it
Exactly my thoughts i saw that quench and almost cried i would never trust that thing swinging it at anything with hardness to it.
should have just welded the holes flush instead of welding on a new piece....
@KATA What?
@KATA lmao what
@KATA did you have a stroke trying to write this
@KATA Yeah if you're a shitty ass welder lol. I do it for a living. I could have patched all them holes easily and sanded them flush in 5 minutes.

Didn't like the black paint, prefer that's rusty look, but good work.

the blade looks amazing but that black paint at the end......just nope
Yeah right it looks awesome maybe your blind go to the doctor asshole
@@kenkanekikakuja4646 It looks like shit at the end.
Drake Dragon no
You guys need to stop hating on him for painting it. Did you ever think that's what the person who sent it asked for. Maybe they wanted it painted like that
SHUT up bitch
@@Pain4Leadd bro who shit in your cereal, and also if you don't like the video click off
So basicly it is still rust infested under the paint.
Perfect for eliminating nuisances
That thing will be just fine long after that guy is old and grey
bet its quiet effective against anti-vaxxers though.
Bonus poison damage

Great Video Thanks 😊
in my opinion this axe (helebarde) isn't antique...its a pipe with weld attached cheapest sheetmetal blades....Not worth this much work...but you are a very handy guy! And i like that kind of videos..nice work!
This isn't a helebarde at all, the metal part of the helebarde it's usually 1 big piece, with both blades on each side, and a pike on the top.
your right its not
Halberd?
He definitely should never of spray paint that looks like shit now
Maybe He likes it.
I agree
i just hope that is not a real antic axe.... What a mess
Bloo Dee doesn’t matter if he likes it, it objectively looks like shit
The black paint makes it look like some stupid child's toy in my opinion
I'm trying to imagine his hands are that quick without anything being sped up. Worlds Fastest Nut.
That is wrong in every possible way but you are correct
awesome job, looks super cool……🔨🛠️⚒️⛏️🔩👏👏👍👍🍻🍻
I'm a blacksmith, I forge things by hand every day, tools, traditional blacksmith items, blades etc. That is a piece of extruded pipe( probably cold rolled steel) , welded on to a big piece of sheet metal that someone burned through with a torch or welder, then soaked in acid or salt water to rust. Not an antique, not even a real axe to be honest. And its nigh impossible to harden a blade in three separate quenches, probably mild steel anyways, not to be judgmental or anything!! Lol
I can tell you know alot
I wasn't impressed at. Looked like shit
Michel Richard check out Simple Little Life, he recently came to forge to make some tongs. As of yet I don't have a UA-cam channel, very soon though!
Yeah this seems inpractical its too big and has many wierd lines to it
Like so many before me have said, you had me with you right up until the rattle can came out. No clue why anyone would go through all of that effort and then cover it up with crappy paint applied in the worst way, AKA spray paint. Great work up to that point though.
that was not great work, that axe should have been cleaned with chemicals before EVER touching it with a grinder.
Nah, spray paint is fine, you just gotta use it properly, and use quality stuff.
Okay, so you clearly don't know how to use a rattle can correctly. I assure you, they can do as good a job as an air gun (IE, what does the paint for cars) if you use it correctly. No one uses them correctly, though. They're not like a brush or roller.

Going through the comments that have been made already, there's a lot to take away in this video. Here are my pros and cons:
PROS:
1. I like it that this was done with a relatively minimal tool set. Some restorations have endless grinding stones, files, rotary tools, and other bits at their disposal; this one's more approachable.
2. I do like the look of the black vs. polished steel.
3. Attention to detail on the edging and polishing is good.
4. I like the attention to detail when straightening the piece, especially with the bowing marks and applying the torch to let the cooling do a lot of the work.
5. The welding of the square patch shows good welding technique.
CONS:
1. The black / shiny contrast could have been achieved with a cold bluing fluid, which would have lasted longer. If you're going to do the paint and call it a restoration, I'd have liked to see some filler in the substantial rust pitting.
2. The edge-hardening exercise seems largely irrelevant, because it looks like the piece is only mild steel and not high-carbon steel. I say this because a) Grinding the object fails the Spark Test, and b) details on how the smaller blade is attached indicates that it was welded and not forged.
3. If you're going to do an edge quench, use oil, not water, and make sure the heat is hot and even before quenching; don't quench in sections.
4. Patching the center of a fairly thick piece like that will create stress fractures in the metal during cooling if you weld in a square.
4a. Instead of replacing the torched-out holes with a metal patch, I'd have cut them out and left the hole, similar to what's done on the small blade.
Idk, while the black looks decent on actual axes, I don't think it looks really good on an axe that was probably used to kill dragons lmao.
you're absolutely correct man... your points are strong... the black paint is not restoration and it looks very cheap on that rare piece... and patching the middle part is also not a very good idea... moreover the contours are also left as it and thus the curves are not that smooth, and the pitts arent removed as well...
All together, the piece doesnot look that Elegant as it should have after the Restoration, as if it lacks the Dedication, the Art and the Attention that it Actually Deserved..
@@AloneInTheStorms I don't think it is a "rare piece". I'd be really surprised if it were even 50 years old. I don't know much about these things, but I suspect a real Viking axe head would be forged hardened steel, not welded. Looks like a garage project left out in the elements to me.
@@JesseArt yeah you're right tho
I cant believe I just watched someone paint spray an antique blade...... I don't think ive ever been this mad.
It isn't an antique blade, it's a not-so-old replica that he probably found in the trash
That design is too huge and impractical and was never used in old weapons
Beautiful !!

I really appreciate the authenticity that the can o' spray paint adds.
putting a sharp weapon without protection for the pointy edges in a casual delivery box, interresting choice.
Meanwhile at the post office guy throws package to his buddy and chops his arms off.
At least they may learn not to throw everyone's mails!
