RARE Axe Restoration - With VIKING engravings

- Very rare Axe Restoration. This time I restore an antique axe and add some very awesome viking modifications and engravings to the metal.
ABOUT THIS AXE
I really do not know much about this axe. I had it for a couple of years, waiting for the right time to make the restoration video. I bought it from a guy who found it here in Sweden.
THE RESTORATION PROCESS
I started by sandblasting the axe and removed it from the handle who was “homemade” of some worthless wood. I welded the strange hole there was in the metal. I also changed the form on the head to better fit a real handle. I chose a beautiful and long hickory wood handle to get the Nordic Viking battle axe look. I also hardened the metal and gave it a black look by dipping it in oil.
THE NORDIC VIKING ENGRAVINGS
I made a very cool viking laser engraving of a Nordic Eagle who has a role in the Nordic Mythology. I also did some very beautiful decorations in both ends of the axe shaft also with Nordic Viking engravings. The one attached on the top Is some random Viking knots and the one in the bottom of the shaft is the Valknut “The knot of slain warriors”
I am VERY satisfied with this restoration video and I hope that you enjoy it too. Please subscribe if you want to see more cool upcoming projects 🙂 And DON’T forget to see the OLD NORDIC HAMMER RESTORATION - • Old NORDIC hammer Rest... Thanks for watching my channel. See you soon.
Best wishes and stay safe ❤ Martin

You can't imagine how happy I was to see you reshape the eye from a circle to an oval, my biggest pet peeve with restoration channels like this one is that while the creators are obviously extremely skilled with their tools and knowledgeable of their craft, they simply don't know how to make a weapon and instead just make what is essentially an art object.
thanks for your comment :)
timestamp please?
@@iflostpleasereturn6135 , 2:20 to 3:05 approximately.
Even long after the end of the Viking era, Viking descendants stayed famous for their axe skill. The axe symbol stands for strength and bravery. Its deeper meaning can be interpreted as the ability of one's heart or mind to cut through any obstacles on their life path. By the way, I really love this restoration! You work so hard for these cool videos!❤️❤️.
thank you very much for your kind words :)
The fact that he puts the black “welding lense” over his welds is worth a subscribe on its own lmao!
thanks :)
@@daboys7184 You can't go blind watching someone weld on your phone. Is it annoying? Yes. Dangerous? No.

Yes :)

100% the old stick. Personally for me the handle of the weapon holds as much history, if not more, than the axe head so seeing a truly antique piece modernized is really cool!

Did he just protect my eyes? Bro you deserve more subscribers...
thank you :)

@@nicolausteslaus How gay friendly? Can you elaborate?
@@nicolausteslaus ?
No, he didn’t. An arc flash can damage your eyes in person but on your screen you’re gonna need to up the brightness around 10,000x to have a danger of any kind.
This is the only restorer I’ve seen protect viewers eyes from lasers what a great dude thinking of his viewers like that! Cheers to you man!
thanks a lot :)
You can't hurt your eyes from the screen light.
Homie it’s not a laser
It’s a welding arc of just straight electricity
@@taconachoz3753 and it’s light from your screen, not actually from the arc
So that is an amazing find. I’m jealous. I’ve been studying the Vikings for years. So much to learn and so much of what they started still holds today.
Thanks for watching 😉👍
That is an amazing restoration and project. It’s a great addition to an otherwise plain axe, that may have been discarded or overlooked. Now it is a treasure. You’ve truly made something out of almost nothing. Great video.
thank you so much for your kind words :)
The best thing about this man is not only his work but also his hearts to the people in the comments, thanks
thank you Manuel :)
Whoopie!
Personally, i like the old piece of wood more
Yeah I agree
i agree
Agree
Agree
Not only that, but I wanted the “restoration” to put an authentic copper decoration back on it.
I love your use of contrast metals and various sized rivets. I fricken love the metal trim on wood handle. The nordic symbols and designs really make the piece stand out.
You are amazeballs!!!!!
Thank you very much! I really appreciate it :)
The Lil black box for the glare was awesome, thank you!
I love the sounds from the video. Also, the captions are great. Thank you.
Thanks for watching and for your kind words I really appreciate it 👍😉
This is the first time I've ever seen someone put a screen over the welding sparks. I really appreciate that detail. Also, very talented 👍
thanks a lot for your comment :)
@@theburninator888 this is true. worked around welding opps most of my life, and yeah I turn my eyes away when i see it on TV. just habit lol. you are correct.
@@theburninator888 some people are sensitive to light even if it’s through a screen so good to keep measures
Very very VERY few monitors or TV's can project light bright enough to harm your eyes, does not matter whats shown on it, laser or not.
Yeah because everyone's monitor or phone screen emits ultraviolet, and infrared radiation... Lol 🙃
Only UA-camr who puts a shade over the weld in a video, thank youuuu
thanks :)
@@AwesomeRestorations looks like an arc weld between blade n collar ,didnt think the Vikings had arc welders 😄
Is the light from welding still bad for your eyes even if its on UA-cam, just curious
@@alucard-jy8wh only live not thru camera

Большое спасибо что оставляете русские субтитры, я обожаю вас смотреть! 😊
Are we sure the hole wasn’t purposeful? Because that hole looked like it was bored through, and seemed to be perfectly circular.
Did he really just cover that light with a black screen? This dude is beyond human kind. New sub!
thanks so much for subbing :)
Lol this dude is the same as me likes creamless coffee but boat loads of sugar
@You're NEXT! lol he got me wanting to make a one with a hammer or some shit
Yeah because everyone's monitor or phone screen emits ultraviolet, and infrared radiation... Lol 🙃
He even added a filter for welding part... U r the best, dude..
I don't know if he did it has a joke or because people not knowing what cause flash burn were commenting.
The details, the effects of his videos are amazing...
But leaves the laser flash. Your eyes could have been damaged!! Lmao I just don’t get some peoples logic
Thanks, Eric I did it because else it's annoying to look at :)
@@AwesomeRestorations u r actually awesome
I don't know why but watching this made me feel so calm. This is so cool!
I really glad to hear that :)
The axe is really cool, and imagining an army having those is awesome! But honestly, his table is really cool too! Not only is it a vice that can change back into a regular table, which saves space, you can flip it around, which is also really cool!
many thanks for your comment :)
@@AwesomeRestorations no problem!
As someone who only has time to watch youtube right before bed, in the dark, the welding filter is something that not only sets your videos apart and shows you care of your fans, it also puts the quality of your channel in a Superior tier
many thanks :)
I couldn’t agree more, the tint on the welding parts was a life saver.
Or should I say.. an eye saver
I agree. The little specifics make big difference
While i agree that it's nice he does that, facts are there is no danger to the eyes in watching video of welding arcs. But it's still nice he adds a filter though.
Legend has it that this man creates weapons for himself, Kratos, God of War.
I was just memorised by the whole process. What a craftsman.
many thanks I appreciate it :)
I am a 70-year-old female, from Australia and I find your work amazing. Love watching the before and after process. 😊
Thanks so much 😊
:-)
Why u need to mentioned ur age and gender ?
@You're NEXT! Probably
Creator: "This needs sandblasting"
Audience: "Yeehaaaa....!"
Oh.... and the old piece of wood, with a little love... could become as new
Sorry not for this axe but I kept the wood maybe I can use it for another project :)
@@AwesomeRestorations then you loose authenticity.?
@@teepeeX he already lost authenticity with all the modifications and engravings he did. His goal was to make it badass and it is definitely 10x cooler then what it originally was. Original Viking owner would approve. 👍

Respect.
I've always wondered if watching welding through a camera is bad for your eyes. I have to assume anything too bright whether it's in person or camera is probably bad for your eyes but the actual ultraviolet light that does damage to your eyes does not come through the camera.
It would not damage your eyes to watch me weld on screen but the blurring makes it easier to watch :)
@@AwesomeRestorations Considering I watch your videos in the dead of night, with my phone brightness at max, with sensitive eyes (I'm not smart I know), it's a big thing for me that you did it, and I thank you
Unless your monitor is as bright as the weld there’s zero danger in watching a recording.
@@ConernicusRex dude we get it there's no damage but it still stings at the middle of the night with a bright screen
Should’ve used the original wood, but great job with the axe head
thanks
Yeah I agree i was a little sad when he used the new one
Wood warps and decays.. better to make a new handle for centuries to come
I'm just watching this and the comments gave it away which is fine, But the old wood has a better shape (more classical) Than that super straight piece of hickory (which has nicer grains !) So suppose its what you want in the long run hehehe, great job on the Axe looks fantastic !
@@Str1ng5
But it also took it from being a 100% authentic Viking axe to a 50% Viking axe. It’s not like he needs it functional.
An artist and a great showman--superb!
thank you so much Ken
I like that you didnt flatten the blades faces. I also like that you dont kill the wood by stabilizing with resin. The wood tskes the oil so thankfully. Great work.
thanks
You're so kind to put the flash hiding box to protect everyone's eyes
my pleasure
@@2033 well it was still very nice of him to do that and you don’t need to be rude about it
@@2033 well I think they mean protect our eyes as in brightness the light coming off of the torch is significant so it would hurt someone's eyes to see It
@@2033 dumbo
@@2033 Your*
Seems to me that using the old handle gives it delightful aged look...
Agree
I thought so too.
I agree It’s not like it’s going to be used to the point where the handle is going to break if it’s on display I would definitely go with the old one for the aesthetic
dude...that laser engraving part. That was super cool!
glad you think so :)
OMG, what a beautiful Production of this restoration. Spell bounding with the Music and filming angles.
welp, Lazer engraving might be the coolest thing I've ever seen
thanks, it is really cool :)
“Just a pinch of sugar”

Dear Martin, It is always a pleasant experience to watch your restoration project. It was just superb.
thank you Rohit I am glad you think so :) have a great day
I didn't know that the vikings had electric arc welders. AMAZING!!
The video had everything in it, sandblasting, laser engraving and rain in the background. Turned it into a work of art. God bless
Glad you enjoyed it
Face reveal! Awesome video btw!
Lol he also did the face reveal lot of time ago
hes shown his face before haha, but still, awesome video i like to watch your videos too

Pretty sure The Small Workshop is joking about the face at 1:01 you smart heads
@@kshatriya1414 no
i'd like to see more engravings looks really awesome
thank you for not blinding us with the welding

Ooh wow 😍 I'm so interested in learning more about vikings, my ancestors where vikings n I would love to embrace it 💕
You should!
Laser engraving is simply awesome......
This isn’t restorarion... this is art 🙌
many thanks :)
:-)
Absolutely amazing. A true blacksmith and artisan. A veritable legend.
many thanks
True tho...

I've seen welding but there was always a torch, oxygen tanks and cetalene (I think), what kind of welding is that?
I’m new to this channel and I’m already hooked on all your axe videos, love the restoration vids, keep it up
Thanks for watching 👍
This guy is a master of his craft. Dinner is ready lol.
"Should I use the old stick or make a new handle?" Well I guess that really depends on what your response to the Ship of Theseus problem is.
Old
Yeah..he did kinda a nice job.
Not really as the same blade is still used.
i dont see how this is a restoration at all, its a repurposing at best.
I doubt that’s the original handle.
Finally the first person who actually understands the importance of the viewers eyes when welding on videos.
thanks Leon I'm glad you appreciated it :)
I suspect, after years of working as a blacksmith in Sweden, that this axe was made less than 100 years ago.
This is stunning ! Couldn't believe you were actually using the restored hammer to beat it into shape!
glad you noticed that :)
Restoration is an art and your videos proof that.
thank you so much :)
Yes they are
I love how it turned out, I thought you were going to use the old wood, but it’s impressive how you could save that axe, respect.
thanks a lot Miriam :)
We salute you! ('_'\)
🇸🇪 This is one of the most interesting restoration videos I’ve watched on UA-cam. I dig your soundtrack, especially the music. Enhances the visuals like a Hollywood movie. Great job. 👍 🇺🇸
Thank you very much!
Whats the name of the music in 10:35
you are a true artist! Nothing but respect sir.
many thanks :)
A moment of silence for those who didn't know how common laser technology was for Viking blacksmiths
😂😂😂
this is not common for me imagine for a viking😂
Originally I was disappointed that you didn't restore and use the original handle, but now your vision is apparent. Beautiful work, sir. There's a Viking in Valhalla who would be amazed at how you transformed his axe!
thank you so much for your kind words :)
That thunder sound from background was real❤
I swear that hole in the blade looked to clean and perfect to be simple damage
Nice video. But since the axe is basically an artifact and a “decoration”, replacing the original wood handle was a mistake I think. Keeping the blade a shiny silver would have been cool too. Still nice result.
I agree, the old handle had the sweat of the original owner and life force.
i dont think thats a real viking axe lol. looks like the blade was welded to the round part that connects to the wood
It's a replica, not an actual viking axe. If it was a real viking axe it would be in a museum.
Yeah original handle would have been niceee
@@AR-dm2rs you’re right!
Anyone else see that he put up Ragnar lothbrooks face when he was sand blasting XD

Use the old stick, it has character. And thank you for shielding the welding flash.
Very cool of you to put Odin's Ravens Huginn and Muninn on both sides of the axe.
This is truly Incredible 👍loved it so much
That looks like my Wife grabbing dinner. LOL Great job as usual and I really appreciate the Nordic symbols you do.
thanks so much - not sure about your wife 😂
You’re so efficient at restoration that I would think that it would be possible for you to restore my failing relationships with just some sand-blasting

Ahh lazer engraving, just like the ancient vikings did it. They harvested them from lazer raptors.
yes ;)
Laser raptors, just like in Kung Fury

"Which handle do YOU think I should use? Comment below!"
Well, it's a _restoration_ so you probably want to ship-of-theseus it as little as possible.
"NOW TIME FOR THE NEW HANDLE!"

This was the first time I saw intense lasering. Like magic. Thanks
Glad you liked it ... cheers buddy :-)

I love how the more videos I watch of yours, the more I'm wondering where the next Heineken bottle is gonna be lmao.
Thanks for sharing your restoration passion with us :)
thanks so much for watching I am glad you like my videos. I must find a new good hiding place for the next bottle 🍻
I half expected him to eat the axe head when he screen said, “Dinner is ready.”
This is amazing and beautiful
so glad you think so :)
The laser sounds like a Superman movie when they add the sound effects in. Awesome video

“So anyways I started sandblasting”

@@AwesomeRestorationsI know this is a weird question, but how do you keep your hands so still doing most of the restoration? I know it might be normal for other people but if there’s anything you could teach to help me I’d appreciate that a lot. If it’s talent than I’ll just continue enjoying the videos haha
@@DonGudani it's almost like he becomes one with the piece he is restoring, right😊
